Why Is It Called Inland Marine Coverage? 
The term inland marine insurance has its historical roots in ocean marine insurance which insures goods as they are shipped over water. As the transportation evolved to include more trucks, trains and other automobiles, “inland” marine insurance emerged to cover business property as it was moved over land. 

What Is Covered Under an Inland Marine Policy? 
Inland marine insurance may protect various types of business property if it is damaged by covered perils such as fire, theft, wind or water damage. It may also provide coverage if property is mishandled or accidentally dropped or if property goes missing without a known cause. Property that may receive protection includes: 


Coverage for other commercial property and equipment may be available, and specific types of protection that fall under inland marine insurance umbrella may also be available (e.g., motor cargo insurance). 

Do I Need Inland Marine Insurance? 
Inland marine insurance may supplement other commercial property insurance policies that may exclude tools and equipment in transit, high-value assets or a third party’s property that is in your business’s care. It may pay repair or replacement costs in the event of a covered loss and reduce your business’s out-of-pocket burden.
