Comprehensive Coverage Beyond Standard Policies

Protecting Property in Transit or Off-Site

Standard commercial property insurance often stops at your doorstep. In contrast, inland marine insurance fills the gap by covering property that leaves your premises. It safeguards equipment, tools, and inventory wherever they go – on the road, at a job site, or in temporary storage. For example, if valuable tools are stolen from a work truck or materials get damaged at a construction site, inland marine coverage can compensate for those losses. In fact, Rhode Island’s insurance regulations recognize inland marine insurance as a distinct line of coverage for movable property, separate from ocean marine or auto policies. This means your policy is specifically tailored to protect assets on the move, covering risks like transit accidents, theft, vandalism, or weather damage that standard policies might exclude.

Examples of assets inland marine insurance can cover include:

  • Construction tools and heavy equipment transported between sites
  • Building materials and supplies stored at a job location
  • Client property or exhibits (e.g., art, trade show displays) in your care
  • Electronic devices and specialized gear used off-site

Additionally, this coverage extends to high-value items that standard property insurance might not fully cover. It’s an essential safety net for Rhode Island businesses that rely on moving or temporary property to operate.

I have been insured with Michael Segreve and continued with Segreve and Hall for over 37 years. My experience with them has always been very informative; positive, pleasant and professional. Michael has guided me financially for many years and without his knowledge of finances I would have never been able to purchase my house and have retirement savings. The office staff and insurance agents have always been very helpful and supportive no matter what the circumstances are. I will continue to insure my home, business, all my vehicles and financial needs with Segreve and Hall because they are the best!

It is hard to come by a trustworthy company like Segreve and Hall that consistently exceeds expectations and is so responsive and transparent at the same time. Highly recommend these folks for any and all insurance needs!

I have been working with S&H insurance for the past few years; I have insured multiple properties and autos. S&H has provided me excellent service, prices and has been responsive to all the questions I had throughout the years. Sean, Dan, Ashley and other staff have been excellent with the attitude and friendliness to work with. They have even asked me to provide my kids school transcript in order to help us reduce the cost of the insurance. They have gone above and beyond in service compared to many insurance companies I have dealt with in the past. They have provided me with many quotes from different sources to compare prices and made the process easy to select the right insurance for us. I would recommend S&H Insurance company to anyone because of the responsiveness, knowledge and reliability.

Always great to work with Segreve & Hall. The people there are fantastic, professional and they help make the process simple and stress free. Second time getting a different policy and both times went smoothly. This recent policy was a commercial policy and I was assisted by Paulo. He was extremely helpful and worked diligently to get me the best price possible. Given the current insurance market conditions I’m extremely satisfied with the premium I received. Top notch customer service. More importantly the continued customer support they provide. Highly recommend Segreve and Hall.

Frequently asked questions

What does Rhode Island inland marine insurance cover?

Rhode Island inland marine insurance covers a wide range of mobile or temporary property. It typically includes equipment, tools, and inventory transported by land or stored off-site. This means if you have items that leave your primary business location – such as construction machinery on a job site, goods being delivered to customers, or even someone else’s property in your care – an inland marine policy can cover them. It also protects these assets against perils like theft, fire, wind, or water damage that might occur in transit or away from your premises. In short, it fills the gaps left by a standard property policy, ensuring your valuable items remain covered wherever they go.

Is inland marine insurance required by law in Rhode Island?

No, inland marine insurance is generally not required by Rhode Island law for most businesses. Unlike auto insurance or workers’ compensation (which have legal mandates), inland marine coverage is optional. However, many businesses choose to carry it because their operations involve moving property that isn’t covered by other policies. For example, a contractor’s client or a project contract might specifically require proof of inland marine insurance to ensure those items have coverage. Ultimately, even when it’s not mandatory, having this coverage is a smart risk management decision to protect your investments.

Who should consider inland marine insurance for their business?

Any Rhode Island business that regularly transports equipment or property, or stores items at locations outside its main premises, should consider inland marine insurance. For instance, contractors and builders moving machinery and materials between sites can benefit greatly from this protection. Similarly, artisans or vendors who carry tools and inventory to fairs, markets, or client locations need coverage for those items on the go. Even technology companies with off-site installations or photographers with gear used on location can find inland marine policies valuable. In summary, if your work involves valuable property that doesn’t stay in one fixed location, inland marine insurance is likely a worthwhile addition to your insurance portfolio.
