Since SteelOrbis’ report published on February 17, the general ship scrap purchase price range of Turkish steel producers has remained stable at $465-505/mt. A mill in Turkey’s Izmir region reports that the ship scrap flow to producers is very strong, stating, “In two days, we receive almost as much as a short sea cargo.” With shipbreaking workers in the Aliaga region on strike, the mill’s representative noted, “Sellers are maybe using their inventories in hand to meet the demand”.
In Turkey's Izmir region, the ship scrap purchase prices of local steelmakers are as follows:
