  • 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 (steel sheet, package)
  • 0.22 m3/t (steel sheet, sheets)

Humidity / moisture (See also text) Relative humidity: < 40 - 50%
Ventilation (See also text) Steel sheet in coils 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 also text) Seawater damage, contamination and mechanical damage
