| Origin | Trade in steel and steel products primarily flows:
|
| Stowage factor (in m3/t) | Highly variable, depending upon packaging, dimensions and weight, e.g.: 0.83 m³/t (concrete reinforcement steel in bundles with metal strapping |
| Humidity / moisture | Relative humidity: <40 - 50% |
| Ventilation | (See text also) Steel profiles require 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 |
