Inland Marine Installation Floater Insurance
Damaged or stolen materials can cause project delays or even shutdowns. Valuable building materials including copper, lead and aluminum are attractive to criminals. Even common building materials are targeted by thieves for resale. Building materials can also be damaged while in transit or while awaiting installation on the job site.

What is an installation floater?
Inland marine installation floaters provide coverage for a contractor's materials from when they leave the contractor's business until they are installed and that job is signed off. Installation floater coverage is typically purchased by the contractor or subcontractor.
What does an installation floater insurance policy cover?
Inland marine installation floater insurance covers contractor's materials and supplies from a variety of exposures other than those excluded in the policy. That coverage includes fire, theft, explosions, water damage, transit-related damage and vandalism. Installation floater coverage also covers installation-related labor costs. Many installation floater policies will not cover damage to materials that occurs when materials are in transit via air or while waterborne or being worked on underground.
Travelers offers single-project coverage or reporting options for contractors who have multiple jobs in progress. Covered materials usually include:
-
Building materials
-
Supplies used to install materials
