SMM January 6, 2025:

Dear Users,

Greetings!

To better serve our customers and improve the efficiency of the SMM database, we have optimized and adjusted the placement of certain data.

1. Adjustments have been made to the hierarchy, category names, and indicator sequence under "Ferrous Metals Shipping Data - Steel - Foreign Trade." Two new hierarchies of "Port Departures" and "Port Arrivals" have been added, with port departure-related indicators placed first, followed by port arrival-related indicators.

2. Under the category of Steel - Foreign Trade - Port Arrivals, new weekly/monthly data on "Steel Port Arrivals of Overseas Ports" has been added, covering regions such as the 27 EU countries, Oceania, Africa, South America, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, and others.

The data adjustments will take effect on January 16, 2025.

Data Source Statement: Except for publicly available information, all other data are processed by SMM based on publicly available information, market communication, and relying on SMM‘s internal database model. They are for reference only and do not constitute decision-making recommendations.

【SMM Steel】British Steel moves toward full nationalization
【SMM Steel】British Steel is expected to be fully nationalized within weeks. The UK government took over operations from China's Jingye Group in April 2025 to prevent the Scunthorpe plant's closure. Steel has been designated a national security industry. The Scunthorpe plant has the UK's last two blast furnaces. Operating costs hit £377m by Jan 2026. British Steel supports nationalization for stability. Any new owner must invest heavily in EAF technology to replace blast furnaces.
