>1) M.V. YTHAN suffered four rapid hatch explosions on

>This was followed by explosion in holds # 3 and # 4.
>The master was on deck at the time and was killed by a

>2) M.V. SWIFT FAIR arrived at Shanghai 5/6 February

>3) M.V. CALIFORNIA suffered multiple hatch explosions

>All three vessels were loaded at Palua, Venezuela.
>All three vessels were chartered by the same company.
>All three vessels had loaded a cargo described with

>- COMSIGUA Metallized Fine (HBI Fine)
>- Hot Briquetted Iron Fine
>- HBI Fine
>- Finos de Briquetas de Orinoco Iron
>- REMET Fines (HBI)
>- Metalic HBI Fines
>- REMET Fines (Orinoco Iron)
>- Orinoco Iron REMET Fines
>None of these names appear in either the BC or IMDG

>This product should not be confused with either HBI or
