Insurance
Comprehensive Strategies for Safeguarding Moveable Assets
Inland marine insurance protects business property transported on land, covering equipment, materials, and goods moved by trucks, trains, or other vehicles. It also extends to property in a business’s care, including construction, transportation, fine art, and renewable energy sectors.
With a focus on specialized industries, we understand their unique needs and risks. We also provide complementary insurance options for industries such as communications, manufacturing, municipalities, and specialized equipment.
What Is Inland Marine Insurance?
Inland marine insurance is a specialized type of insurance coverage designed to protect a wide range of movable and specialized property. Despite the term "marine," inland marine insurance typically covers property located on land. At Panther Insurance, our inland marine policies are tailored to provide comprehensive protection for diverse assets, whether in transit, on-site, or in the possession of third parties.
Originally an offshoot of ocean marine insurance—which protected goods shipped over water—inland marine insurance emerged to cover goods transported over land. As commerce expanded beyond major port cities, businesses needed insurance solutions for cargo moving inland. Today, inland marine insurance extends far beyond transit coverage to include an array of valuable equipment and property types.
