Marine cargo construction codes

This topic lists the marine cargo construction codes supported by Touchstone.

Starting with version 9.0,the marine cargo construction codes are paired with marine cargo occupancy codes 1001-1012. Also, 2701 to 2720 were added to version 9.0.

Note:

While Coverage C (content) is not supported for most of the 200-series construction class codes, it is supported for Inland Transit (construction code 259) and for some other construction codes, such as tanks and pipelines. For the full list of supported combinations, refer to the Const. & Occ. Combin. tab in each model supplement. For information about individual model support for the 2000-series codes, see Construction class codes -- 2000-series.

Construction Code Category Description
270 Carpool Open areas close to harbors where thousands of cars are gridded before being shipped on Personal Car Carriers (PCCs). If you know that a particular exposure is combustible or noncombustible, you should use the combustible or noncombustible versions of these codes instead. See construction codes 280-285 and 290-295 in this topic.
271 General and Containerized Cargo Cubicles 8 feet in width, 8.5 feet in height, and 20 or 40 feet in length in which commodities are packed. Cubicles are usually stacked on ships, trains, or airplanes for long-distance transportation. If you know that a particular exposure is combustible or noncombustible, you should use the combustible or noncombustible versions of these codes instead. See construction codes 280-285 and 290-295 in this topic.
272 Heavy Cargo Heavy cargoes are usually heavy machinery that cannot fit into a standard container, such as jack-up and semi-submersible rigs, dredging equipment, luxury yachts, offshore production modules and sub-sea structures, construction machinery, container cranes and harbor equipment, and complete factories. Vessels used for this type of cargo are usually semi-submersible heavy lift ships, conventional heavy lift ships, tow barges and dock ships. Heavy cargo is sometimes containerized. If you know that a particular exposure is combustible or noncombustible, you should use the combustible or noncombustible versions of these codes instead. See construction codes 280-285 and 290-295 in this topic.
273 Refrigerated Cargo Refrigerated cargo is similar to general containerized cargo, but with additional cooling equipment to keep commodities fresh. Commodities are commonly fruits and frozen goods. This type of containerized cargo requires an external source of power to maintain a temperature-controlled environment. If you know that a particular exposure is combustible or noncombustible, you should use the combustible or noncombustible versions of these codes instead. See construction codes 280-285 and 290-295 in this topic.
274 Dry Bulk Cargo Bare solid materials, such as coal, metal ore, lumber, and grains. If you know that a particular exposure is combustible or noncombustible, you should use the combustible or noncombustible versions of these codes instead. See construction codes 280-285 and 290-295 in this topic..
275 Liquid Bulk Cargo Bare liquid material, such as oil, liquefied natural gas, and liquid chemicals. Liquid bulk cargo is generally stored in tank farms on shore. If you know that a particular exposure is combustible or noncombustible, you should use the combustible or noncombustible versions of these codes instead. See construction codes 280-285 and 290-295 in this topic..
276 General/Unknown Supported for both the Verisk Earthquake Model for Japan and the Verisk Typhoon Model for Japan, and for some locations in Europe, including Central Europe. It is also supported in the Verisk Earthquake Model for New Zealand and theVerisk Hurricane Model for the United States.
