Direct reduced iron (DRI)

Cargo spaces should in an inert condition with less than 5% oxygen, and hydrogen at less than 1%.
DRI should be treated with an oxidation-inhibiting process.
Carriage of DRI should always be under a nitrogen blanket.
Records should be frequently taken of the levels of hydrogen and oxygen in each cargo space.
DRI should not be hot or damp when loaded. DRI in excess of 65 degrees centigrade should never be loaded.
DRI should be trimmed to reduce amount of cargo surface area and also reduce void space in the cargo which will allow hot gas to move upwards.
