Does Inland Marine Cover Property Off Site?

Often, for scheduled equipment or other covered property at temporary sites; territory and theft conditions limit where it follows you.

An inland-marine floater can follow described equipment to changing worksites, subject to its schedule, territory, and exclusions. “Off site” does not automatically mean every location or country is covered.

Check jobsite, temporary storage, vehicle-theft, and unattended-property terms, plus any location-reporting rules. If you hold customer property, confirm whether the form covers it and what limit applies.
