Inland Marine Insurance
Inland marine insurance generally covers property that is movable or transportable in nature. It’s often used to cover property that needs broader protection than what may be provided by a typical business owners policy. Whether you’re working off-site, shipping or transporting goods, or need coverage on contracting equipment, inland marine insurance should be part of your overall plan.

Ocean Marine Insurance
Ocean marine insurance encompasses a variety of coverages designed to protect merchandise, goods, workers, passengers and crews aboard shipping vessels, and cargo storage during marine transport domestically and abroad. If you source raw materials, distribute foreign manufactured goods, or sell goods overseas, ocean marine insurance can serve as the foundation of your comprehensive business continuity strategy.
