- 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.
