Units helper

Tampa molten is usually USD per long ton delivered. Vancouver and US Gulf dry bulk FOB are usually USD per metric tonne. Convert before you compare.

Long ton ↔ metric tonne

1 long ton (LT) = 1.0160469088 metric tonnes (MT). Factors are exact for desk conversion; prices still need form and delivery basis.

Price equivalent (same product assumption)

If a Tampa print is $/LT and you want an approximate $/MT for the same molten delivered product: multiply by 1/1.0160469088. This does not turn Tampa molten DEL into Vancouver FOB solid.
