To identify and describe steel and metal products commonly transported by ship.
3.2 Types of steel cargoes, descriptions and general stowage considerations
3.2.1
Steel products are presented for shipment in a variety of ways including single, loose individual
items, bundled, packaged in paper
or metal protective covers, unpackaged, crated and parceled.
In addition, some steel products are coated in oil (e.g. hot rolled and pickled steel) while others
may be paint coated (e.g. some types of pipe) to protect the cargo
from moisture and other
corrosive materials.
3.2.2
Table 3.1 provides a summary of steel products commonly transported by ship. The best practices
applied to the stowage of these products are governed by a number of factors as detailed
in
Section 5.5.
3.2.3

such as steel scrap metal, pig iron and swarf are not included in
Table 3.1 as the
mandatory requirements for carriage of these cargoes is governed by, and set forth in Appendix 1
