Domestic ship scrap purchase prices have remained mostly stable in Turkey’s Izmir region. Only one producer has made an upward adjustment of $5/mt, most probably aiming to secure necessary volumes. As a result, ship scrap purchase prices in the region are now in the range of $270-275/mt CPT, with only Cebitas giving the indicative level of $260/mt CPT, while sources assume that this producer is currently not interested in scrap purchases.
In Turkey's Aliaga region the ship scrap purchase prices of local steelmakers are as follows:
