Coverages are broadening (stock throughput) Today’s cargo modeling is just a “rough approximation.” Classifies cargo as “contents” Does not consider packaging or salvage potential Assumes it is at risk 365 days a year There is opportunity to raise the bar.

CALCULATION STEPS OF A CAT MODEL Assess Hazard Calculate Damage Quantify Financial Loss Generate Events Apply Exposure Addresses lat long Which events in the catalog damage insured properties? What is the wind speed? Flood depth? Ground shaking? Bomb blast intensity? Damage ratio for each location. Salvage value for cargo Mitigations (sprinklers, roof cladding, base isolation) Exceedance probability (1-in- 100, 1-in-250) Average Annual Loss Different for cargo

SALVAGE POTENTIAL VARIES BY PRODUCT Jeweler’s Block Livestock Heavy Industry Dry Bulk General Cargo Auto Consumables Pharma Temperature controlled High salvage potential Low salvage potential This can change with contract provisions (i.e. brand protection clauses). The model allows override.

Building Contents vs. Cargo Building “Contents”Marine Cargo At risk 365 days per yearAt risk only when at insured premises Heterogeneous products, for everyday use.Homogeneous products, sale-ready Rarely packagedCarefully packaged Minimal salvage effortsExtensive salvage efforts Stored inside structureStored in many different configurations (containers, silos, warehouses, pallets). Cargo can be less vulnerable than contents given the same level of hazard. (With notable exceptions - autos stored in open lots, temperature controlled pharmaceuticals, sensitive equipment, etc.)

Conclusions Models usually over-state the cat risk for cargo No salvage value considered No packaging considered 365 days at risk assumed But some classes of cargo are even MORE vulnerable than suggested by the models (autos, sensitive equipment, pharma, etc). Current state of cat modeling in marine cargo leaves something to be desired. The market needs cargo- specific models, not property models that are jury rigged to produce cargo loss.
