Ore should not be dropped from a great height into a cargo hold, Because the tank top and double bottom internals can sustain damages
Control the rate at which iron ore is loaded so that the vessel can cope with de-ballasting operations
The minimum bow height, as required by SOLAS, cannot be maintained at sea due to squatting by the head
Beware of maximum angle of heel that will be caused by a shift of cargo
Ore cargoes is susceptible to liquefaction due to compression and/or vibration
vessel will normally have a large intact metacentric height (GM) and have a fast roll period
