Rokstone has appointed Sharon Seah and Hui Ling Long as Directors and Senior Underwriters for Marine in Singapore, as part of its continued expansion in the Asia Pacific region, the international specialty (re)insurance managing general agent (MGA) announced in a press release on Monday.
Seah moves from QBE Singapore, where she has been working for over six years, most recently as Country Lead, Cargo and TOL Marine. She has over 35 years of experience in marine underwriting and broking, having held senior roles at RSA, Tokio Marine & Fire Insurance, LCH, Sumitomo Marine & Fire Company, and Talbot Risk Services.
Long also joins from QBE Singapore, where she spent over 10 years. There, she most recently served as Country Lead for Marine Hull & Liabilities. With a 30-year career in marine insurance, she previously held senior roles with HSBC and Asia Capital Reinsurance Group.
The expansion builds on Rokstone’s establishment of a new Singapore hub, led by Rama Chandran—who himself moved from QBE—and which began operations with US$25m in Lloyd’s capacity provided by Tokio Marine Kiln (TMK).
Commenting on the new hires and the partnership with TMK, James Potter, Chairman at Rokstone, said, “We’ve built a team with extensive experience across marine classes in Asia Pacific, supported by Lloyd’s lead capacity and advanced analytics.”
Alexandros Ampatzis, Head of Marine – Asia Pacific at TMK, noted that the collaboration aligns with the company’s regional growth objectives. “The underwriting team in Singapore has strong technical and market experience, and we are confident in their ability to develop a sustainable marine portfolio,” he said. “This partnership is based on shared priorities of technical strength and service focus.”
