Facts
Origin This table shows only a selection of the most important countries of origin and should not be throught of as exhaustive
  • Europe: Finland, Norway, Sweden, Russia, France, Austria, Switzerland, Great Britain, Netherlands, Germany
  • Africa: South Africa
  • Asia: Japan, China
  • America: USA, Canada, South America
  • Australia
Stowage factor (in m3/t) 1.78 m³/t (paper rolls wrapped in 6 layers of packing paper). Package dimensions are variable, the important factor being that the rolls within one cargo stack must exhibit uniform dimensions, to prevent distortion.
Humidity / moisture
  • Relative humidity: 60 - 70%
  • Water content: 8.3 - 10.3%
  • Maximum equilibrium moisture content: 70%
Ventilation Recommended ventilation conditions: air exchange rate: 6 changes/hour (airing), if the dew point of the external air is lower than the dew point of the hold air. On voyages from cold to hot climates (Scandinavian ports, Continental ports - tropical unloading ports in Africa, Asia), every possible opportunity for warming the paper must be used to avoid cargo sweat.
Risk factors Self-heating / spontaneous combustion, contamination, wet damage, mechanical influences; see text.
