Having moved up by $35-37/mt since the beginning of the uptrend on November 29, Turkey’s ship scrap market has mostly moved sideways, with two Izmir-based mills reducing their ship scrap procurement prices by $3-5/mt, while another has decided to stop accepting ship scrap. The general range in Turkey’s ship scrap market is still at $370-375/mt for delivery to mill by truck.
