Does anyone know where the WTC steel was shipped?

Do we know exactly who did the shipping, the processing? What Chinese companies were involved? Who owns those companies? What did they pay for the steel? Was the demo/cleanup job competitively bid? Did that job include disposal of the scrap steel or was that handled under a separate contract? Were there bidding documents?

Was this information made public? If not, could this information be obtained through the FOIA?

It seems to me it would have been cheaper to keep and process the steel here?

1. Some info

I apologize it is not more extensive, but, here are a few links I was able to dig up.

Much of the structural steel from the WTC was sold to Alan D. Ratner
of Metal Management of Newark, New Jersey, and the New York-based company
Hugo Neu Schnitzer East. Ratner, who heads the New Jersey branch of
the Chicago-based company, quickly sold the WTC steel to overseas companies,
reportedly selling more than 50,000 tons of steel to a Shanghai steel
company known as Baosteel for $120 per ton. Ratner paid about $70 per
ton for the steel. Other shipments of steel from the WTC went to India
and other Asian ports.
