Inland Marine Insurance, combined with risk management solutions and business insurance, helps protect businesses from risks associated with goods, property, and equipment during transportation or storage. This coverage is crucial for companies that ship goods, work in construction, or handle valuable items in transit. It helps manage potential losses that can occur when goods or equipment are moved from one location to another.
What Is Inland Marine Insurance?
Inland marine insurance covers property that is being moved, stored, or transported from one location to another. This includes machinery, tools, and inventory. Although the term “marine” may suggest it’s for water-based transportation, inland marine actually applies to goods being moved or stored on land—think of things like construction equipment, tools, or inventory. It protects businesses against the financial losses that can happen during these processes.
Unlike standard property insurance, which only covers items at a fixed location, inland marine insurance provides protection for goods, tools, and materials while they’re in transit or stored temporarily.
