Steel plates and plate cuttings.

## What we accept

Steel plates and plate cuttings. Material is weighed and graded on arrival at our yard in Mina Abdallah.

## Plate and cuttings are different streams

Whole plate and the cuttings left by profiling and fabrication are graded apart. Cuttings are smaller, more varied in thickness and handled on their own.

## Cut to furnace size

Thick plate is sheared down to the dimension the buyer can charge. What a mill can take is what decides whether a load is usable.

## Thickness sets the grade

Plate a quarter inch and over runs as heavy melting; thinner plate and profiling offcuts run as a lighter grade. Thickness, not surface area, is what is assessed.

## Surface condition

Mill scale, rust and paint are expected and do not affect acceptance. Clad, galvanised and stainless-faced plate is separated, since the facing changes what the plate is worth.

## 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.
