Azeri producer Socar is offering 30,000t of granular urea on a bulk fob Batumi basis and 20,000t in big bags on a fob Trabzon basis in its latest sales tender.
The tender closes on 12 December. The quantities can be shipped in one or multiple lots and are to load in the second half of December to the first half of January.
The producer last closed an officially reported tender on 28 October.
The tender marks Socar's return to the urea market after the 600,000 t/yr facility stopped production for at least a month. News of the outage emerged in early November, but there was no comment from the producer. Socar confirmed the resumption on Monday.
