The process of manufacturing Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) from iron ore and the subsequent hot briquetting procedures generate unwanted by-products in the form of dust and broken chips during most of the stages. Some manufacturers recover these materials and offer them for shipment. Historically, such cargoes have mainly originated from Venezuela and Trinidad, although shipments have also been made from the US, Mexico and Libya. This cargo has been responsible for a number of casualties in the past, most notably the MV YTHAN in 2004, in which six crewmembers lost their lives during explosions that occurred in four of her five cargo holds and which also resulted in the loss of the vessel.

可能含有DRI(C)的铁矿粉–国际保赔集团的建议
对于铁矿石制造直接还原铁(DRI)的加工，以及后续热压程序的大多数制造阶段中，会生成灰尘和碎片等副产品。部分制造商会回收这些材料，并装运发货。以往，此类货物主要产自委内瑞拉和特立尼达。当然，也有部分来自美国、墨西哥和利比亚。此类货物在过去造成了不少事故，而最值得注意的莫过2004年YTHAN轮事故。该轮5个货舱中有4个发生了爆炸，最终造成六名船员丧生、船只损毁的结果。
