HMS 1 and HMS 2, cut to furnace size.

## What we accept

Heavy melting scrap in both grades, HMS 1 and HMS 2. Material arrives from demolition, plant removal and structural steel taken off site, and is cut to furnace size before it is loaded.

## Cut to furnace size

The size a mill can charge is what decides whether a load is usable, so material is cut or sheared to the dimension the buyer specifies rather than shipped as it arrives.

## The difference between the two grades

HMS 1 and HMS 2 are kept apart and loaded separately. Mixing them puts the whole load on the lower grade, which is why segregation happens in the yard and not at the port.

## What separates HMS 1 from HMS 2

HMS 1 is uncoated steel a quarter inch and thicker, free of galvanised and alloy. HMS 2 takes thinner material and allows galvanised, including pipe and sheet. The two are weighed apart because a furnace charges them differently.

## What is kept out

Sealed vessels, closed cylinders and anything that has held fuel or chemicals. Concrete, rubber, insulation and non-ferrous attachments are stripped before the load is weighed.

## From the yard to the port

Five stages, handled by us, in the order they happen.

### 01 Grading and preparation

Material is sorted and graded, then cut, sheared or baled to the size the buyer specifies.

### 02 Weighing

Every load is weighed and a weight ticket is issued against it, recording gross, tare and net.

### 03 Inspection

A lot may be inspected at the yard by arrangement. Photographs and weights of a specific lot are provided on request.

### 04 Container loading

Sorted material is loaded to container at the yard, grade by grade rather than mixed.

### 05 Documentation and shipment

Paperwork is handled from the yard through to the port, and the shipment leaves through Shuaiba or Shuwaikh.
