Don't know how much exporting of ferrous scrap they are actually doing. Loading ships was a big thing when they got the Albany yard. Problem I see is they don't have thier own dedicated dock space. Renseller iron, across the river, is right on the dock. Simms has a yard just down river, still port of albany, that also has some dock area. Seems to me like it may not be cost effective to load ships in Albany. After the Albany yard opened, there was a FB post about getting a port location either in nyc, or across the river in nj. Said they could load ships in Albany and top off (deeper waters) at other location. Nothing ever came of that that I am aware of.
In regards to the Albany shredder, Im not sure they have the volume to justify another shredder. Certainly, Albany could justify one, but how big of an impact does that have on the 10,000 HP shredder in Owego. They took a long time developing the feeder system for Owego, and an Albany shredder would impact that.
I would love to see one as I think it would cause prices to go up some.
