|---|---|
| Example of Clothing/ready-made garments |  |
| Facts | |
| Origin | Ready-made garments are today transported worldwide from and to all continents. |
| Stowage factor (in m3/t) |
|
| Humidity / moisture |
|
| 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. |
| Risk factors | The goods are liable to catch fire due to the structure of the processed natural and manmade fibers and the surface treatment or finishing which they have undergone. Smoking must therefore be strictly prohibited during loading/unloading of the holds/containers. CO2 should preferably be used to extinguish fires. |
