Inland Marine Insurance Canada
This insurance policy was designed for ocean marine industry to protect against property losses before, during and after water transfers. Throughout time, the non-ocean marine part of the cargo journey developed, cargoes were transferred to barge, and thus, the term “inland marine insurance” was coined. The policy became known as “floaters” because the property covered was originally “floating” in the ocean.
