We have an insured that will be a sub contractor on a barge job. The insured will have one employee operating a track-hoe on a barge for approximately three weeks. They will be digging a ditch from the bank out about 150 feet in the river and then covering it back up once in place. The piece of equipment is currently insured but there is a water borne exclusion on the policy which the carrier is not willing to remove. Anyone know of any markets without this exclusion? I know there must be markets out there without the exclusion as there is a lot of equipment used on water, but just not sure where to look. Thanks in advance!

Hi Ashley!

Thank you for including so much information on your post! Brian and Betty had great suggestions on companies to reach out to!

I know you are looking for Inland Marine Equipment Coverage, but I see that Continental Risk has a product for Marine General Liability. It looks like they cover Marine Equipment Floaters, and may be able to help. You can reach out to them directly by going here.

I hope between Brian Betty and I we were able to help get you pointed in the right direction. Good Luck!
