Inland Marine Transit Insurance

Category: insurance

Property coverage for cargo being transported over land by truck, rail, or domestic barge.

While Ocean Marine handles international sea lanes, Inland Marine transit (often called Motor Truck Cargo) handles domestic ground logistics. It protects the cargo from theft, hijacking, and truck rollovers while in the custody of a freight broker or carrier.

Common Examples

• We added an inland marine transit endorsement to cover the medical equipment while it was moved between regional hospitals.
• The freight forwarder required proof of inland marine transit insurance before assigning the high-value cargo route to the owner-operator.
