Turkey’s ship scrap purchase prices are in the range of $340-362/mt as of today, April 11. However, due to the sharp decline observed on the import scrap side, Turkish mills in Izmir are also expected to cut their ship scrap purchase prices in the coming days.
In Turkey’s Izmir region, the ship scrap purchase prices of local steelmakers are as follows:
| Producer | Price ($/mt) |
| Özkan Demir Çelik | 355 |
| Habaş | 340 |
| Ege Çelik | 362 |
| İDÇ | 355 |
All the above prices are for delivery to mill by truck.
