Inland marine

Inland marine insurance covers a broad range of risks, from cargo theft to collisions, ensuring your valuable assets are protected during transportation or temporary storage. Whether you’re shipping construction equipment, computers, or scientific instruments, IOA can help you secure coverage that keeps your business moving forward with confidence.

Why choose IOA for inland marine insurance?

Standard property insurance typically protects assets housed at your office or fixed business location. However, if your business involves moving high-value products, materials, or equipment between locations, standard coverage may fall short. That’s where inland marine insurance comes in, offering essential protection for property in transit or temporarily stored offsite. IOA’s extensive expertise and access to leading insurers help businesses find the right coverage for protecting their property in transit or on-site.
