Utah inland marine insurance for property in transit or in a bailee's hands

The property and casualty coding matrix posted by the Utah Insurance Department describes inland marine, code 09.0, as coverage for property that may be in transit, held by a bailee, at a fixed location, or movable goods often at different sites. Utah Code § 31A-21-101(3)(a) says specified contract provisions do not apply to ocean marine and inland marine insurance. Those provisions include sections on forms of policies and some cancellation rules listed in that subsection.

What Is Inland Marine Insurance?

If your business moves equipment between sites or ships goods, inland marine can cover those property exposures; installation and other forms address different property categories. Match the quote to what you own, rent or hold for others. Read the national Tools, equipment and inland marine guide.

What Should You Watch for With Inland Marine Insurance in Utah?

Bailee Custody Is Part of the Coding Description
The matrix describes inland marine as property that may be in transit, held by a bailee, at a fixed location, or movable goods often at different locations. If you hold customers' goods, ask whether the floater covers that bailee exposure or only your own equipment. The matrix is a coding description, not your policy. ¹
Some Standard Contract Sections Do Not Apply
Section 31A-21-101(3)(a), in the Title 31A Chapter 21 compilation that was opened, says specified contract provisions do not apply to ocean marine and inland marine insurance. The list includes sections 31A-21-102, 31A-21-103, 31A-21-104, and subsections 31A-21-107(1) and (3). Do not assume a personal-lines cancellation clause in those sections governs this floater. Ask which cancellation terms are printed on the form. ²
Fixed-Location Property Can Still Be Coded Inland Marine
The coding description includes property at a fixed location as well as property in transit. Do not assume a Utah inland marine form covers only goods on a truck. Ask whether your shop, a job site, and a vehicle are all scheduled. ¹

Which Inland Marine Insurance Providers Have Utah License Records?

These providers publish a national listing for Tools, equipment and inland marine; the state records document licenses for the entities and roles shown below. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm the product is available in Utah. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.

Specialty Program Group LLC
TechInsurance’s current licensing page names Specialty Program Group LLC / SPG Insurance Solutions and lists state license numbers, but labels Rhode Island “Individual licenses” rather than identifying a license for the named agency. RI is omitted because this disclosure does not establish agency authority there; this is a search limitation, not an assertion that the company is unlicensed. The remaining state entries are company-reported and are not an insurance product availability map. ¹⁶
TechInsurance arranges inland marine coverage for contractors’ tools and equipment.

Who Regulates Insurance in Utah?

Utah Insurance Department

For Utah-home-state surplus-lines coverage, Utah charges 4.25% of gross premiums including policy fees, less returned premiums, and the Surplus Line Association of Utah collects a 0.18% stamping fee. Utah law requires a policy notice that the nonadmitted insurer is not protected by any Utah guaranty association; the state’s current guidance says a good-faith admitted-market effort is generally required unless the coverage is on the export list.
