Inland Marine Insurance for Equipment, Tools & Property on the Move
Protect valuable business property wherever it goes with customized inland marine insurance coverage.
Inland Marine Insurance
Many businesses rely on equipment, tools, inventory, and specialized property that regularly travels between job sites, customer locations, warehouses, and offices. While commercial property insurance provides important protection, it often only covers assets at a fixed location. Once property leaves your primary premises, coverage may become limited or unavailable.
At York Insurance Agency, we help businesses fill this gap with Inland Marine Insurance. Despite its name, inland marine insurance has nothing to do with boats or watercraft. Instead, it provides protection for valuable property while it is being transported, stored off-site, or used at temporary locations. Whether you’re a contractor transporting tools, a healthcare provider moving equipment, or a business carrying inventory between locations, inland marine insurance helps protect the assets that keep your business running.

What Inland Marine Insurance Covers
Contractor Tools & Equipment
Contractors often rely on expensive tools and equipment that travel between job sites every day. Inland marine insurance helps protect these assets from theft, damage, vandalism, and certain covered losses while they are in transit or being used away from your primary business location.
From power tools and generators to specialized machinery and construction equipment, we help ensure the tools you depend on are protected wherever your work takes you.
Mobile Business Equipment
Many industries depend on equipment that operates outside a traditional office or facility. Medical equipment, photography gear, surveying instruments, technology devices, and specialized tools may require coverage beyond what’s available under a standard commercial property policy.
Inland marine insurance helps ensure these valuable assets remain protected while being used in the field, at customer sites, or at temporary business locations.
Equipment in Transit
Business property is often most vulnerable when it’s being transported. Whether you’re moving inventory, equipment, materials, or products between locations, inland marine insurance helps cover losses that occur during transit.
This protection can be especially valuable for businesses that regularly transport high-value items or rely on deliveries to serve customers and complete projects.
Inventory & Materials at Temporary Locations
Businesses frequently store inventory, materials, and supplies at locations other than their primary facility. Whether materials are staged at a job site, products are stored in temporary warehouses, or equipment is held at customer locations, inland marine insurance can provide valuable protection.
York Insurance Agency works with businesses to identify these exposures and create policies that account for how and where property is actually used.
