Methane / High grade fertilizer transport, capable of delivering
tremendous
volumes of nitrogen-rich matrix to far-flung colonies.

Getting the matrix  to remain on board is a difficult task- The
Incontient Class
Hazardous Material Transports have a built in safety system that
automatically ejects
hazardous cargoes if a danger is detected.  Unfortunately, the THV-2001
Autonomous
Monitoring System was a little flaky and would randomly decide that a
dangerous situation
occurred, (anything from approaching space debris to rapid temperature
changes in the hull)
leading to the random ejection of cargo into space.  The
Incontinent Class has thus been re-classed as a bulk fertilizer
transport for the
Colonial Office.
