0 2

Kiln, the international insurance and reinsurance underwriting group, has today launched a new specialist team to underwrite international logistics risks. The team will be part of the marine & special risks division of Kiln Syndicate 510 and will specialise in providing cover for clients in the freight and transport industry, and for ports and terminal operators. Peter Rogers will head up the team.

Peter was previously managing director at Ipswich-based ITMU, a leading underwriter in the sector. Prior to ITMU he ran the freight liability unit at Allianz.

In addition to underwriting this business at Lloyd’s, Peter will have responsibility for developing Kiln’s international logistics sector globally, and will ensure that producing brokers have access to these products through Kiln’s offices in Europe, Asia and South Africa.

The Ipswich-based unit will join Manchester and Leeds to become part of Kiln’s UK regional network, and will further enhance the range of specialist marine hull and cargo products currently written there, in London and overseas.

Paul Culham, active underwriter, marine & special risks at Syndicate 510, said: “Peter and his team bring substantial experience and specific knowledge of international trade and the particular needs of companies in the logistics sector, which will significantly enhance Kiln’s underwriting capability in this sector. It is an area that is changing rapidly and we are committed to ensuring that we evolve too in order to continue to meet the needs of our customers.”
