inland marine insurance

inland marine insurance
A term suggestive of risks carried upon ships or cargoes to be found on inland waters of the United States but employed by insurers in an indiscriminate manner for a much broader category of insurance, including various risks having no relation to transportation by water, even some, such as floating policies on jewels, clothing, etc., which have only a tenuous connection with transportation of any kind.
