What inland marine insurance actually covers

The insuring agreement is the most important page of any insurance policy — it defines what triggers coverage. For inland marine insurance, the core coverages are:

• Defined coverage triggered by qualifying loss events
• Defense costs and settlements within policy terms
• Specific events and exposures detailed in the policy form

What it doesn’t cover

Knowing the exclusions matters as much as knowing the coverage. The most common gaps for inland marine insurance:

• Excluded perils as defined in the policy form
• Acts outside the scope of the policy's insuring agreement
• Losses arising from intentional or fraudulent acts
