Inland marine insurance is a unique line of coverage in that it addresses disparate "classes" of risk, most of them quite different from each other. We see inland marine policies used for property that doesn't sit in one place very long. That's why it has the nickname equipment floater or personal property floater. We also see it used to extend broader coverage than most property policies. By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Describe the origins and evolution of inland marine coverage.
• Describe how it can be a profitable line of business.
• Describe the requirements to effectively underwrite coverage and implement loss control in certain classes of business.
