Inland Marine Insurance

Standard commercial property insurance may not provide adequate coverage for equipment, tools, and goods that are transported or stored off-site. Inland Marine Insurance protects valuable business property that is frequently moved or used away from a primary business location. Whether your business transports goods, uses mobile equipment, or stores property at multiple job sites, this coverage ensures financial protection against damage, loss, or theft.


An Inland Marine Insurance policy typically includes coverage for:


  • Equipment, tools, and machinery transported between job sites
  • Goods in transit or temporarily stored off-site
  • Mobile medical and construction equipment
  • Art, collectibles, and high-value items
  • Installation projects and property stored at third-party locations


At McShea Insurance, we understand that businesses rely on mobile property and specialized equipment. We tailor Inland Marine Insurance policies to safeguard your assets wherever your business takes them.
