Facts
Origin Trade in steel and steel products primarily flows:
  • Within the EU
  • Eastern block --> EU countries and USA
  • EU countries --> USA
  • Japan, Korea, India, South Africa, Brazil --> EU countries and USA
Stowage factor (in m3/t)
  • 0.47 m³/t (steel sheet, bundled)
  • 0.16 m³/t (shipbuilding plate, bundled)
  • 0.36 m³/t (steel sheet, package)
  • 0.22 m³/t (steel sheet, sheets)
  • 0.76 m³/t (galvanized sheet in solid wooden boxes)
  • 0.23 m³/t (corrugated sheet, package)
Humidity / moisture Relative humidity: 40 - 50%
Ventilation (See text also). Steel sheet in sheets requires particular humidity/moisture and possibly ventilation conditions. Steel corrosion accelerates rapidly at relative humidity > 60%. If possible, relative humidity should be reduced to below 60% by appropriate ventilation measures.
Risk factors (See text also). Seawater damage, contamination and mechanical damage.
