The objective of the workshop is to review how the business
cycles in the U.S. and around the world are affecting prices
for raw materials and the value of the dollar and to evaluate
how recent changes in steel and concrete fabrication costs
affect planned and possible LNG terminal project costs.
Attendees will learn more about the constraints of International
Steel Group (ISG) to supply 9% Nickel steel plate to the
U.S. market. ISG is the only domestic supplier of 9% Nickel
steel plate used for LNG storage tanks. We will also evaluate
recent changes in the cost components for concrete fabrications
including cement markets.
