As of today, May 27, Turkey’s ship scrap market prices have risen by $10-20/mt in the prices of the three mills that continue to accept ship scrap. The general range is now at $460-470/mt, up from the $445-450/mt levels recorded earlier this week. Turkey’s import scrap market is believed to have hit the bottom, and so the ship scrap market continues its uptrend as mills are securing scrap tonnages in Aliaga in the Izmir region.
In Turkey's Izmir region, the ship scrap purchase prices of local steelmakers are as follows:
