Allianz Commercial and Rokstone, the Aventum Group’s international (Re)insurance MGA, have announced a new collaboration for a US$10 million facility to write Marine Cargo business worldwide with immediate effect.

This broadens Allianz’s wholesale Marine distribution and allows Rokstone to write direct and reinsurance cargo business with full binding authority globally from London.  This new facility compliments Rokstone’s existing US$ 25 million facility launched earlier this year with Allianz for its North American Marine operations.

“This new facility is for both direct and reinsurance and means we can write direct European business with full binding authority for the first time, broadening our geographical distribution. We’re delighted to be extending our relationship with Allianz with this new facility. Rokstone has an enviable record that has resulted in long term collaborations with our carriers and a 100% retention rate.  Brokers know that they will get access to the best capacity and a fast service from Rokstone.”

It demonstrates Allianz Commercial’s commitment to Specialty business and the strategic focus on Marine for our business.
