The general range of ship scrap purchase prices in Turkey has indicated a very slight increase today, June 10, and consolidated at the level of $252/mt, up from $251-252/mt recorded yesterday. Some market sources state that this level is still on the low side and that prices may move up further in the coming days. Meanwhile, the ongoing lack of supply in the local Turkish scrap market and the uptrend in import scrap prices support local ship scrap quotations.
