INLAND MARINE INSURANCE BASICS



Inland Marine Insurance was born out of the desire to financially protect goods after they have been offloaded until they get to their final destination. This is because the Ocean insurance only covers the losses of goods when they are being transported through water-bound vessels. Inland Marine Insurance covers the various instrumentalities of land transportations such as tunnels and bridges. The insurance was initiated to protect goods while temporarily stored in warehouses or are in transit on land. It covers transportation losses for businesses that are in the supply chain sectors as well as everyone who needs to transport good from one place to another. Properties which are kind of involved in communication and transportation like bridges, transmission lines, wharves, and towers can also be insured through Inland Marine Insurance. 

Account Receivable Insurance, Equipment Floaters Insurance, Installment Insurance, Valuable Records Insurance, Parcel Post Insurance and Consignment Insurance are few of the less obvious kinds of Inland Marine coverage. Inland Marine Insurance insures against losses or perils which results from fire, flood, lightning, collapses of bridges, theft, landslide, overturn of the transporting vehicles, windstorm, derailment, collision and so on. It covers properties such are consignments from warehouses to sellers and retailers, specialized equipment for various industries including oil and gas equipment, construction and medical equipment and so on, shipments from manufacturers to the suppliers or purchasers, assets on routes for exhibition or convention and other property on transit. 

Inland Marine Insurance is used for insuring property whose:
-          Use is under constant change. For example, construction equipment which are used on different jobs at different locations
-          Value is under constant change. For example, jewelry, furs, and other valuable property.
-          Condition is under constant change. For example, conditions of building changes as they move from start to completion. 

Inland Marine Insurance is a great way to protect all properties which lie outside a range of fixed location. This is because the insurance follows the insured goods as they move from one location to another. If you have any question about Inland Marine Insurance, you can call or contact IDA
