The name "inland marine insurance” can be confusing. Put simply, inland marine insurance covers your business equipment and tools while they’re being moved in a truck or train. It also covers items that are being temporarily stored in an off-premise location away from your normal place of business. Inland marine insurance is derived from marine insurance, which covers business equipment during transport over water. The “inland” term refers to transport over land (train and truck).
