Ukrainian steel maker Metinvest, whose plants were halted in late February after Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, has reported 25% QoQ dip in crude steel production in January March 2022 quarter
Crude steel - 1.962 million tonnes, down 25% QoQ & 8% YoY
Iron ore concentrate – 6.128 million tonnes, down 20% QoQ & 21% YoY
Coking coal concentrate -1.276 million tonnes, down 14% & up 29% YoY
Metinvesthad hot idled its major facilities shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in late-February. The Kamet Steel plant is the only steel plant operating without stoppages. The Zaporizhstal steel works partly resumed production in late March and restarted two blast furnaces in early April. The company’s main steel plants Azovstal and Ilyich Steel in Mariupol were stopped amid ongoing severe shelling in the region. Until the active phase of the war is stopped and reliable communications channels with the metallurgical plants in Mariupol are re-established, it is not possible to assess its impact on the Group’s plants. The two plants in Mariupol were the main source of semi-finished steel products for the company’s rerolling facilities in Europe.
