Rokstone North American Marine, part of the international specialty re/insurance MGA Rokstone, has launched a new Inland Marine Equipment program supported by a USD 10 million underwriting facility from QBE.
Targeting small to mid-sized contractors, equipment dealers, rental operators, and industrial businesses operating across multiple locations and job sites, the new program offers modern, flexible specialty coverage.
This offering is specifically tailored to meet the demands of modern equipment-driven industries at a time when the middle market is experiencing rising exposures and reduced access to tailored solutions.
The Inland Marine program provides a comprehensive suite of specialty products, including: Contractors Equipment, Commercial Output Policies (COP), Equipment Sales & Rental, and Ancillary Inland Marine Coverages.
The USD 10 million facility is calibrated specifically for the small and mid-sized market – large enough to support meaningful equipment schedules, while enabling fast, specialty-driven underwriting and responsive decision-making.
The launch is underpinned by Rokstone’s advanced technology, notably the proprietary ATOMX platform. This underwriting and distribution platform facilitates efficient data ingestion, risk assessment, and program management, enabling digital quote-and-bind workflows.
ATOMX allows Rokstone to rapidly deliver complex specialty solutions with precision and scalability.
With this launch, Rokstone Marine now deploys USD 60 million in total Marine capacity across its programs, supported by a diversified panel of top-tier global carriers including Allianz, QBE, and Lloyd’s of London.
Mike Nukk, Head of Rokstone Marine, comments: “We’re delighted to be partnering with QBE on this innovative Inland Marine program. It significantly strengthens our ability to scale, diversify, and introduce more sophisticated solutions to the market. Demand for specialty Inland Marine coverage is accelerating, driven by infrastructure investment, industrial expansion, and increased equipment mobility. Yet traditional carriers continue to prioritise large accounts, leaving the middle market underserved. This digitally enabled program delivers fast, flexible, specialty coverage for a segment that urgently needs it.”
He added: “At Rokstone, we continue to buck the capacity trend. While others retrench, we are expanding, bringing choice, service, financial stability, and innovation to brokers and insureds. In an environment where clients are prioritising carrier stability and brokers are demanding speed, expertise, and digital efficiency, Rokstone Marine has become the go-to market for service-intensive specialty risks.”
Sharon Primerano, Vice President, US Inland Marine Manager at QBE, commented: “Since launching our US inland marine offering last year, we have seen strong support from the market. We are delighted to support the class further with this facility which focuses on deep underwriting expertise and a disciplined approach. The Inland Marine market demands specialist insight, speed, and flexibility and we are pleased to expand our reach into the segment while maintaining underwriting quality, strong governance, and long-term commitment.”
