Slab Steel — FOB Bandar Abbas Export from Iran to Egypt (Alexandria, Port Said): Offers, Specs & Logistics
Transactional buyers of continuous‑cast steel slabs from Iran for Egypt (Alexandria, Port Said) require clear specifications, packing and routing from Bandar Abbas. This landing page focuses on FOB Bandar Abbas programs—covering commercial specs, size & weight references, pricing drivers, logistics, QA and a practical RFQ checklist. You can bundle slabs with hot‑rolled coils/plate and structural sections to lower freight per ton and simplify vendor management.
Explore downstream options within Steel Products like Hot Rolled Sheet (HRC/plate) and coated Galvanized Sheet; upstream context under Raw Materials including Sponge Iron and Ferro Silicon.
Specifications & Commercial Scope
Slab supply is targeted for re‑rolling into HRC/plate. Orders define thickness/width/length windows, corner radius/edge condition (as‑cast, scarfed/conditioned per scope), surface requirements and chemistry ranges compatible with your mill practice. Acceptance is based on MTC review, dimensional checks and surface inspection.
For integrated programs, pair slabs with sections and long products such as U‑Channel, Angle, spans I‑Beam & H‑Beam and reinforcement Rebar / Wire Rod.
Common Slab Sizes & Theoretical Weight
Weights are theoretical (density ≈ 7850 kg/m³). Confirm bundle weights and piece counts at order.

Bundle slabs with downstream coil/plate and structural members for logistics efficiency: Hot Rolled Sheet / Cold Rolled Sheet, sections U‑Channel, Angle, I‑Beam & H‑Beam and frames via Hollow Section and Pipe.
Surface, Edge & Conditioning Options
As‑cast with standard mold powder residue removal, or scarfed/ground per scope; edge conditioning and corner radius per rolling entry requirements. Specify cleanliness targets, allowable surface indications and conditioning depth where applicable.
Pricing Drivers (FOB Bandar Abbas → Egypt Routes)
Updated offers reflect iron unit costs, energy, exchange rates, FOB vessel availability at Bandar Abbas, documentation scope, conditioning, and piece size mix (thickness/width/length). Downstream bundling with HRC/plate or sections can optimize total landed cost into Alexandria/Port Said.
Track upstream/downstream signals via Raw Materials including Sponge Iron, Ferro Silicon and Carbon Coke.
Incoterms & Quotation Structure
Base term for this corridor is FOB Bandar Abbas; upon request CFR/CIF quotations to Alexandria or Port Said can be provided for comparison. Quotes are structured as base price per ton plus extras for conditioning, special lengths/tolerances, packaging and inspection scope.
Logistics, Packing & Delivery
Slabs are bundled with steel strapping and spacers, tagged for heat/lot traceability. Handling is heavy‑lift/break‑bulk with stowage plans aligned to vessel cut‑offs. Marking per contract; moisture protection applied to sensitive surfaces where specified.
For combined shipments include sections and plates/coils: U‑Channel, Angle, I‑Beam & H‑Beam, Hot Rolled Sheet / Galvanized Sheet.
Quality Assurance & Test Certificates
Each lot ships with MTC (chemistry and basic mechanical indicators), dimensional reports and surface inspection notes as agreed. Third‑party inspection can be arranged at mill or port. Define sampling and acceptance criteria in the RFQ.
For casting and downstream context see Billet Grades and production background under Wire Rod Production.
Supplier Selection & Risk Mitigation
Shortlist exporters with proven slab quality, heavy‑lift/port experience at Bandar Abbas and references into Egypt. Trial parcels can validate rolling entry before scaling to framework agreements. Align documentation early to avoid customs delays.

RFQ Checklist — Step by Step
- Define thickness/width/length windows and corner radius/edge condition.
- Specify surface/conditioning scope and cleanliness targets.
- Choose term: FOB Bandar Abbas (base) and request CFR/CIF to Alexandria/Port Said if needed.
- State monthly/annual tonnage and dispatch calendar; consider split parcels.
- Confirm QA/testing scope and any third‑party inspection.
- Clarify packing/marking, heavy‑lift handling and terminal constraints.
- Provide downstream plan (HRC/plate/sections) for bundle optimization.
FAQ
Q: Can you quote FOB Bandar Abbas and CFR/CIF to Alexandria/Port Said in parallel?
A: Yes—FOB is the base term; alternative terms can be issued for landed‑cost comparison and sailing options.
Q: What slab sizes are common?
A: Commercial programs regularly include 200–250 mm thickness with widths ~1200–1800 mm; confirm your rolling entry constraints before ordering.
Q: Can you bundle slabs with finished steel?
A: Absolutely—bundling with HRC/plate and sections reduces total freight per ton and improves site readiness.
Destinations & Bundling Strategy (Egypt: Alexandria, Port Said)
Programs serve Egypt with frequent sailings. Buyers often reduce landed cost by bundling slabs with coils/plate and structural members under a single contract.
Popular combinations: Slab + Hot Rolled Sheet + sections (U‑Channel, Angle, I‑Beam & H‑Beam) and coated products Galvanized Sheet.
