It's not unheard of in the Philippines and Indonesia for surveyors that frequently reject unsafe cargoes to receive death threats from shippers/miners

Probably the biggest safety improvement for the dry bulk sector in recent years has been Indonesia's protectionist ban on nickel ore exports.

Certainly none of the major bulks (iron ore, coal etc.), and most of the minor bulks (bauxite, alumina etc.) rarely do. But plenty of commoditised cargoes that trade most frequently in units of up to ~1,000kg (PVC granules, sugar) do/can use containers fitted with a liner.
