The main hazard of seed cake carriage is the risk of self-heating and spontaneous combustion due to the presence of residual oil and moisture. This process can be accelerated by microbiological activity and the oxidation of oil. Other hazards include oxygen depletion in the cargo hold and potential damage to the cargo itself. To mitigate these risks, seed cake must be properly aged, certified for its oil and moisture content, and transported in compliance with the IMDG Code, with specific fire-fighting requirements and precautions.

Stowing steel cargo requires careful planning to prevent shifting and hull damage, while risks include rust, mechanical damage during handling and transit, cross-contamination, and cargo deformation. Key to safe carriage is a sound Cargo Securing Manual, pre-loading surveys to document cargo condition, appropriate use of dunnage to prevent metal-to-metal contact, careful handling to avoid mechanical damage, and correct ventilation to manage condensation and prevent wetting.

The primary risk of carrying iron ore fines is liquefaction, which can lead to catastrophic cargo shifting, vessel listing, or capsizing. This danger is inherent in cargoes with a moisture content exceeding their Transportable Moisture Limit (TML), as water pressure reduces inter-particle friction, allowing the cargo to behave like a liquid. The International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code requires shippers to certify the TML and moisture content, while masters have the authority to refuse cargo if they suspect it exceeds safety limits to prevent these hazardous events.
