What Does Ocean Marine Insurance Cover?
Ocean Marine Insurance is designed to safeguard your maritime operations from financial setbacks caused by unpredictable events at sea and in port. At Combs & Company, we ensure your policy includes the core protections your business needs to keep operating smoothly—even when the waters get rough.
Coverage options can include:
- Cargo Insurance: Protects goods while in transit across oceans, whether shipped internationally or domestically.
- Hull & Machinery Coverage: Safeguards the physical structure of your vessel and its onboard equipment against damage from collisions, storms, and other covered risks.
- Protection & Indemnity (P&I): Covers legal liabilities for injuries to crew members, third-party property damage, and environmental risks.
- Freight Insurance: Ensures you don’t lose revenue due to lost or damaged shipments.
- Marine Liability: Covers a wide range of potential legal exposures that can arise during maritime operations.

Each marine-based enterprise is different. That’s why our experts work closely with you to determine the right blend of protection based on vessel type, cargo, trade routes, and risk profile—so you’re never left exposed.

What is the difference between Ocean and Inland Marine Insurance?
While both are part of the broader “marine insurance” family, Ocean Marine Insurance and Inland Marine Insurance cover different environments and types of risk:
- Ocean Marine Insurance is focused on sea-based operations. It covers vessels, cargo at sea, and liabilities that arise in oceanic or port settings.
- Inland Marine Insurance covers property in transit over land or inland waterways, including mobile equipment and communication tools.

If your business operates across both land and sea, we’ll help you integrate both policies seamlessly—so there’s no overlap, no gaps, and no surprises.
