Service Center Intake, Shipments and Inventory through March 2017
Written by Peter Wright
At first glance this was a good report but that impression diminished on closer examination. Year over year the report was quite good but the number of shipping days increased by three and the normal March month over month shipment surge was very muted. Daily shipments increased by 1.7 percent from February. Since 2009 on average, March has increased by 12.8 percent. Carbon steel shipments were 151,400 tons per day. The number of shipping days increased from 20 to 23.
