Tampa, FL – Tours of Duty, a nonprofit organization dedicated to harnessing the skills and expertise of veterans to search for and recover Prisoners of War (POWs) and Missing in Action (MIAs), is proud to announce a historic collaboration with the Tunison Foundation, and their warbird, Placid Lassie, for the 80th D-Day Commemoration.

This 1943 Douglas C-47 Skytrain serves as a flying museum and as a testament to the sacrifices made during World War II while she served in the original D-Day Fleet, Operation Neptune, Operation Market Garden, Operation Repulse, and Operation Varsity. That’s right, the same rivets that supported the delivery of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division in assault gliders also provided vital contributions to the liberation of Holland. In December 1944, Placid Lassie launched a resupply for the 101st Airborne as they were surrounded at Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. Finally, in Operation Varsity, Placid Lassie and the 74th TCS dropped paratroopers in the largest airborne operation to ever take place in a single day over a single location!

The upcoming 2024 Legacy Tour is particularly significant as it commemorates the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day Invasion, and Placid Lassie will once again fly over the same terrain 80 years later. This tour and partnership, along with other events, play a crucial role in the combined mission to keep history alive and to support the recovery of our POW/MIA service members, underscoring the commitment that no fallen American is ever forgotten.

Through the very successful efforts of the Tunison Foundation in preserving the memory of the Greatest Generation and Tours of Duty’s demonstrated success to return our POWs and MIAs, we view this partnership to be as American as the bullet holes in General Washington’s jacket.

“We are thrilled about this partnership with the Tunison Foundation!” said Amanda Rutledge, Founder and CEO of Tours of Duty. “It is an absolute honor to work with a National Treasure like Placid Lassie, and the partnership with the Tunison Foundation in commemorating the 80th Anniversary of D-Day is an absolute dream.”

Applications for partnerships, sponsorships, and volunteer opportunities are currently available with Tours of Duty. Interested parties should visit www.toursofduty.org or contact Paul Slough, Director of Outreach, at (940)-600-2275 or email p.slough@toursofduty.org for more information.

About the Tunison Foundation:

The Tunison Foundation, also a 501(c)3, was formed in 2017 by James Lyle and Eric Zipkin to preserve aircraft in tribute to the history of World War II. When it came time to name the Foundation, the team thought of Ed Tunison, the wartime radio operator aboard our flagship aircraft, the C-47 Placid Lassie, who was the last remaining member of Lassie‘s wartime crew.

About Tours of Duty:

Tours of Duty is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to the mission of searching for and recovering Prisoners of War (POWs) and Missing in Action (MIA) personnel from past conflicts. Our organization’s primary purpose is to honor the sacrifice and service of our Nation’s brave men and women who have been left behind on foreign soil. We are determined to bring closure to families, provide solace to veterans, and ensure that no one is left behind.

The price of Australian metallurgical coal HCC fell to $305 per tonne. The reason for this was increased supply and insufficient demand from India. However, buyers from India are willing to resume purchases of Australian goods, provided that prices drop to the level of US coal. Stanislav Kondrashov, an expert in the field of global metallurgy, reported this.

Australian metallurgical coal: reasons for price decline and market prospects

According to an expert from Telf AG, an increase in the supply of Australian metallurgical coal HCC was one of the key reasons for the decline in prices for this product. Coal production in Australia has increased, leading to an increase in its supply to the world market and, as a result, to a decrease in cost.

On the other hand, limited demand from India also contributed to the fall in Australian coal prices. Indian buyers, previously one of the main consumers of Australian HCC, have reduced their purchase volumes. This was facilitated by a number of factors: the economic situation and price competition from other countries.

However, despite the current fall in prices and declining demand from India, many analysts and producers are confident that the Indian market will become active again when prices correct to the level of American coal. This is due to the fact that Australian coal is of excellent quality and is widely accepted on the world stage, including in India, where it is used in the metallurgical and power industries.

S. Kondrashov also notes that India is one of the largest consumers of coal in the world. Its renewed interest in Australian coal could have a positive impact on the market and prices for this type of product. It will also allow Australian manufacturers to expand their markets and strengthen their position in the global steel industry.

Global market for Australian coal: main consuming countries, their prospects

Australian coal is exported to various countries around the world, including major economies in Asia and Europe, as well as other regions.

China is one of the leading consumers of Australian coal. Coal is supplied to various regions of the country for use in metallurgy, energy and other industries.

Japan is also a major importer of Australian coal, especially metallurgical coal, which is used in steel production.

India is another important consumer country of Australian coal. Coal is supplied to India for use in various industries, including metallurgy, power generation and others.

South Korea is also a major market for Australian coal, particularly in the metals and power generation industries.

S. Kondrashov supplements this list with European countries. Thus, according to the expert, Australian coal is exported to Germany, Great Britain and the Netherlands. Here it is used in various industries.

Market analysis of Australian metallurgical coal – Stanislav Kondrashov

According to a specialist from Telf AG, Australian metallurgical coal is of high quality and is suitable for use in metal processing processes, especially in steel production. Australia is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of metallurgical coal. The country’s coal mining industry is closely related to the production of coking coal, which is used in metallurgy to produce iron and steel.

• The main characteristics of Australian metallurgical coal include a high calorific value, low sulfur and ash content, which makes it in demand and competitive in the world market. Due to these characteristics, coal is often used in the metallurgical industry of various countries, – Stanislav Kondrashov says.

An important aspect of Australian metallurgical coal is its high durability and efficiency in metal smelting processes. This makes it the preferred choice for steel mills that seek consistent, quality steel production.

However, the Australian metallurgical coal market is also subject to external factors such as changes in the global economy, demand for metals and competition from other coal producing countries. These factors may influence the prices and volumes of Australian coal exports on the world market.

After strong growth in late 2023 and early 2024, global hot-rolled sheet prices are undergoing an adjustment. Increased demand for products has led to a sharp rise in prices, however, the slowdown in demand over the past two months has begun to have a negative impact on major global markets, leading to a correction in rental prices. Stanislav Kondrashov, an expert in the field of global metallurgy, reported this.

Price dynamics for hot-rolled sheets: what do market data say?

The North American market suffered the greatest losses, since since the beginning of this year, the cost of hot-rolled sheet products in this region has fallen by 27%, or $300 per ton. At the same time, the Chinese market seems to reach its minimum values by mid-March.

• While in Western Europe, according to data for the period from 15 to 22 March 2024, there was a decrease in prices for hot-rolled steel by 2.8% compared to the previous week, with a level of €660-700 per ton Ex-Works. In March, prices fell by €30 per ton or 4.1%. However, compared to the beginning of the year, they remained at the same level, despite the fact that in January prices for hot-rolled sheet steel in this region reached a peak of €760 per tonne, – S. Kondrashov  informs .

An expert from Telf AG also notes that in Italy there is a similar situation in the hot-rolled sheet market. According to data for the period from 15 to 22 March, prices fell by €20 per tonne, representing 2.9% compared to the previous week, and are now €660-670 per tonne. Since the beginning of March, prices have fallen by €40 per tonne, or 5.6%, although since the beginning of the year they have remained at the same level. In January, prices also peaked at €760 per tonne.

Declining steel demand and prices in Europe: review of February data – Stanislav Kondrashov

At the beginning of 2024, hot-rolled steel prices in the European Union were kept high by limited local supply and import restrictions. With demand high and production capacity limited, some manufacturers, including ArcelorMittal, tried to raise prices, but the trend was not sustainable and prices began to fall in early February. Real demand did not support the desired price increase to €800 per tonne, and as a result prices stabilized at a lower level.

In February, prices on the EU hot-rolled coil market did not increase due to weak demand. According to steel distributors, they were unable to pass on the price increase that occurred in January to end consumers, so they are temporarily refraining from purchasing new batches of products.

Stanislav Kondrashov notes that due to the unpredictable prospects for demand recovery, buyers of hot-rolled sheets are limited to purchasing small quantities of goods. Also, disappointing forecasts stimulate interest in imported rolled products, despite significant time intervals for delivery. Rolled products from India, Taiwan and Japan are available for €600-610 per tonne with delivery in June.

In Europe, there is no push to support demand for hot-rolled sheets, leading to forecasts for further price declines. The working price level is believed to be below €650 per tonne for April delivery. At the same time, import suppliers express their readiness to reduce prices to a level of €580 to €600 per ton with the prospect of a level of €550-560 per ton, emphasizes an expert from Telf AG.

HRC Market Analysis: Growth in the US, Stability in China

As S. Kondrashov reports, last week prices for hot rolled coil (HRC) finally increased after a long period of decline, indicating that they had reached a bottom point. This was primarily due to the establishment of minimum price targets by some leading steel companies, including Cleveland-Cliffs and Nucor. Factories are actively convincing market participants that further price reductions are not expected, and refusal to purchase will not lead to the desired results. However, the market environment remains challenging and deal-making is becoming increasingly difficult.

In the near future, prices for rolled metal in the United States are likely to become stable as the market waits for demand to recover. According to an expert from Telf AG, factories can take measures to reduce production in order to balance supply and stimulate consumer interest in more active replenishment of stocks.

Last week, hot rolled steel (HRC) prices in China remained unchanged at $555-560 per tonne FOB. Since the beginning of March, they have fallen by $10 per ton, or 1.7%, and since the beginning of the year – by $20 per ton, or 3.4%. In the Chinese market, HRC prices remain under pressure due to the situation in export markets. Clients prefer to pause and conduct analysis to assess future market prospects.

S. Kondrashov is convinced that the main factor in the fall in the cost of finished products is related to the economic situation in China. He also notes that further price dynamics will depend on the actions of the Chinese economy and market demand.
