Does Inland Marine Cover Customer Property?

An inland-marine floater may cover customer property in your care when the policy schedule and limits include it.

A contractors’ equipment form, for example, may require a specific schedule option.

Tell the insurer who owns the property and whether you store, repair, install, or transport it. Check the customer-property limit and whether you also need liability coverage for your contractual responsibility.
