Ferrous Products

The primary component of maritime vessels is steel. Consequently, a major product line that results from the dismantling of these ships is ferrous scrap. Since these vessels are uniformly constructed with high quality metal, the resultant scrap is generally considered outstanding. Some of the ferrous scrap products we offer include:

Plate and Structural Steel:

Much of vessel structure is composed of grades ISRI 232 and 236 plate and structural steel. We are able to size it efficiently into 3’ and under or 5’ and under pieces. Smaller (or larger) sizes can be custom made as well. Plate and structural steel is often shipped by barge, rail or truck.

Re-roll Plate:

Since the construction of much of our ship inventory includes relatively flat, thick pieces, the Company is able to process re-roll plate with thickness ranging from _" to 2 _". Plate is typically sold by truck or rail car.

Heavy Melt #1, #2:

Similar to plate and structural steel, the Company processes both heavy melt #1 and #2 into under 3’ pieces or under 5’ pieces, according to customer needs. Both trucks and rail cars may be used for its transport.

Mixed Cast:

Cast iron is available in 2’ by 3’ pieces (broken). It may be loaded onto rail cars or into trucks.

Sheet Metal (Tin):

Typically unbundled, miscellaneous sheet metal and other thin ferrous products are typically sold via truck.

Other Ferrous Scrap Products:

Armor plating, pig iron (used as ballast) and shafting are examples of other ferrous products we offer.
