Today, June 17, ship scrap purchase prices in Turkey’s Izmir region have followed diverse trends. Some mills have increased their prices by $5/mt, while one mill has decided to cut its price by $3/mt, with another one keeping its price stable. As a result, ship scrap purchase quotations in Turkey are now in the range of $255-260/mt, for delivery to mill by truck. Since ship scrap prices are lower than import scrap quotations, they are preferable, some sources say.
