As SteelOrbis mentioned yesterday, March 2, the rapid increases in Turkey’s import scrap market have influenced the domestic ship scrap procurement prices of Turkish mills. With five Izmir-based producers today announcing upward revisions of $15-30/mt in procurement prices, the general ship scrap purchase price range of Turkish steel producers is now at $495-525/mt, up from yesterday’s levels of $465-505/mt.
In Turkey's Izmir region, the ship scrap purchase prices of local steelmakers are as follows:
