Turkish ship scrap prices unchanged amid scrap market volatility

Turkey's ship scrap prices have remained relatively stable compared to late June levels. Despite the fluctuation observed in deep sea and short sea scrap prices, Izmir-based producers are keeping their ship scrap procurement quotations firm to maintain the flow to their yards. Ship scrap offers an advantage to users in the Izmir region due to its high quality and proximity. For now, ship scrap prices are expected to remain firm in the range of $375-380/mt delivery to mill by truck.

In Turkey's Izmir region, the ship scrap purchase prices of local steelmakers are as follows:

Producer   Price ($/mt)
Özkan Demir Çelik 377
Medfer 375
Ege Çelik 377
İDÇ 380

All the above prices are for delivery to mill by truck.
