According to a market survey, the rumours of Sanshan Port in Guangdong were slightly eased in March, while inspections at other ports are still tight. SMM forecasts China’s aluminium scrap imports to increase in March to around 70,000 tonnes, contributed mainly by the import from Sanshan Port in Guangdong.
