Ship scrap purchase prices in Turkey have consolidated at $258/mt for delivery to mill by truck, as mills in the Izmir region have increased their purchase quotations by $2-8/mt as compared to Friday, July 17, while another local steelmaker Cebitas - which was out of the market for a very long time - has returned to the market with a similar price level. Cebitas is reportedly restarting production.
The upward trend in Turkey’s import scrap market is also reflected in the trend of ship scrap purchase prices, market sources state.
