Why yards sell to Steelbro

A trading partner that does what it says.

A scrap trade is only as good as the payment at the end of it. Our reputation is built on paying suppliers on time, every time, and on understanding what happens at both ends of a container.

Paid on time

Strong financials and a decades-long payment record. Our credit is insurable with the major credit insurers.

Bookings that hold

Our volume lets us contract directly with MSC, Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd and CMA CGM, so we secure space and fix problems fast.

Logistics handled

Drayage, intermodal, ocean freight and export documents — managed by our team, from your yard to the port.

People at the other end

Our own yards and offices in the markets we sell to mean quality questions get settled on the ground, not by email.
