Load Type Classification (ISTAC: CL_CARGO)

Code list describing the types of cargo transported and how the goods are transported. In addition to the types of cargo, it includes the types of cargo support and often indicates the means of transport used. The main categories are: liquid bulk goods, dry bulk goods, containers and swap bodies, rolling self-propelled units and rolling non-self-propelled units (roll-on/roll-off).
The cargo covers all types of goods carried by sea and inland waterways.

This classification has been constructed based on Eurostat's load type classification, adding local codes and generic SDMX codes.
