Scrap

[Mark K]

In the past a scrapped ship has been sold to a competing fleet and comes back to service competing against the company that scrapped it.

[Boat Brad]

Why don't they want them to come back? Couldn't they get more money for them that way?

[Captain Crunch]

Scrap prices are down right now.

[Kevin]

What are the prices of scrap these days? How do they compare historically?

Most of what is laid-up on the Canadian side is slated to go, already had buyers inspect some of the ULS boats. With Algoma expected to reflag the Viken ships, it should not be very long, they are probably just trying to find a way (Legal) for those boats not to come back for Lower lakes or other ventures who could milk a few more years from them.

I never thought of that before... I wonder if that's a reason why CSL has been holding on to the Halifax as well.

Do you know which (if any) of the laid up vessels may not be immediately on the chopping block? What of the Windoc hull?
