    British Steel investors committed to business for 10 years

    Scunthorpe Telegraph reported that the four partners behind Greybull Capital are reported to be committed to a 10-year stake in the newly-launched Scunthorpe-based British Steel business. Senior partner Marc Meyohas told The Guardian newspaper he would expect Greybull to retain it steel interest until the 2026 at the minimum.

    Mr Meyohas is reported as saying: “That's the basis on which we invest – if in 10 years or more we'd still be happy with being shareholders."

    Fellow partner Richard Perlhagen said that the period could be less than 10 years if buyer or a merger opportunity opportunity came along.

    But Mr Mayohas added: “In our world we're not into exit plans. We're buying it because we think it's a viable long-term business".

    The news will be welcomed by the town's 3,000 British Steel employees who are awaiting details of a new share-saving scheme.

    The Greybull partners, who bought the former Tata Steel Long Products Europe operation for a nominal GBP 1, have pledged to invest GBP 400 million of which GBP 50 million will be spent by June 2017- on reviving the fortunes of the business which was previously losing GBP 1 million a week.

    But they have yet to reveal how they wlll pay for environmental improvements in Scunthorpe demanded to be in place by 2022 by The European Union in line with an industrial emissions directive.

    China accuses rival steel-making countries of hypocrisy

    Chinese Finance Minister Mr Lou Jiwei accused other countries of hypocrisy for loud and frequent complaints about China's massive steel production they say has created a global glut and cost thousands of jobs in developed economies. At a meeting of the US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue in Beijing, Mr Lou said the issue had been overhyped, China was already cutting capacity and Beijing had limited power to direct private steel mills.

    He told reporters “The overcapacity problem, particularly in steel, has been subject to much hype around the world.”

    Mr Lou pointed out China's production in sectors like steel had come about because of the 4 trillion yuan ($826 billion) stimulus program the government rolled out in response to the global financial crisis, which helped buttress world economic growth.

    He added "Back then, the whole world applauded and gave thanks to China...now you are saying that China's overcapacity is affecting the world. Why did you not say that then?"

    China cut 90 million tonnes of steel capacity last year, according to Mr Lou, and he said those cuts would continue.

    However, he noted the government's powers were limited in terms of imposing hard quotas because more than half of the country's steel firms were private.

    China is under pressure from the global steel industry to rein in production amid accusations it is dumping steel it can't use on world markets.

    Research house MySteel estimated roughly 50 million tonnes of Chinese capacity was re-started, the equivalent of 41 blast furnaces with an annual capacity of 1.2 million tonnes. The restarted capacity was more than 10 times Australia's total production.

    In recent weeks Chinese President Xi Jinping has emphasised the government would not support debt-fuelled growth and the steel sector has slowed down. Li Xinchuang, from the government backed the China Metallurgical Industry Planning and Research Institute, forecasts China's steel production to decline by 3 per cent this year to below 800 million tonnes.

    Why steel demand plunges – Mr Sushim Banerjee

    Mr Sushim Banerjee DG of INSDAG in his personal capacity wrote in Financial Express that in advanced countries, one of the critical issues being debated in most forums relates to surplus steel availability in the global market and the consequences that trading of such surplus tonnages are leading to. The major steel associations of different countries have taken it up with G7 group of countries to keep this on their agenda in the meeting. Generally, surplus capacities in any country draw global attention if it indulges in exporting that surplus at a cheaper rate to other countries. In this manner, the country causes distortion to the domestic market of the importing country that has to take resort to trade restrictive measures (AD, CVD, Safeguard and other NTBs) to thwart imports. This is true for US (NAFTA), EU, Brazil and ASEAN countries as steel importers and China, South Korea, Japan, Russia, Kazakhstan and Turkey as exporters.

    In 2015, according to WSA data, EU imported 37.7 MT, followed by US of 36.5 MT, Germany of 24.8 MT, South Korea of 21.7 MT and Italy of 19.9 MT. Major steel exporters were China at 111.6 MT, followed by Japan at 40.8 MT, EU at 33.8 MT, South Korea at 31.2 MT and Russia at 29.7 MT.

    All the top exporters had experienced shrinkage in domestic demand. China consumed 38.5 MT less steel in 2015, followed by US by 11.3 MT, Japan by 4.8 MT and Brazil by 4.3 MT. As regards growth of these economies, China’s GDP fell by 0.4%, Brazil by (-) 3.8%, while US and Japan did not experience any higher growth rate in 2015 as compared to 2014.

    Industrial production in the US fell by 2.45 in 2015 and it was a massive negative for Brazil, Japan and Russia. It is safe to conclude that lower levels of economic activities leading to lower growth rates in GDP were responsible to bring down demand for steel. It is also certain that the urge to achieve higher capacity utilisation in the face of shrinking domestic demand has led all these countries to export a higher volume sometimes even at sub-optimal prices.

    This is exactly where the problem originates for the importing countries whose end users may be looking for cheap imports, but the predatory prices (lower than fair prices and lower than their marginal costs) at which imports do take place cause irreparable damages to the domestic steel producers in terms of profitability, employment potential, capacity utilisation and ability to repay outstanding loans.

    A recent report on countrywise analysis of peak steel demand has shown that the UK, the US, Germany, Japan, South Korea and China have achieved their peak levels of steel consumption in 1970, 1973, 2007, 1991, 2008 and 2013, respectively, although post 2006, there is a question mark on the authenticity of the point of inflexion. In all these years, the per capita steel consumption along with steel intensity of GDP and GFCF as a percentage of GDP was high compared to later years.

    The above statistics comprehensively indicates that the steel industry is no longer a growing sector in these economies. However, they are the victims of unfair trades indulged in by some of the other countries in transferring a part of their surplus capacities to the large importers. But under no circumstances the perils of surplus capacities can be so generalised as to putting an embargo on all future capacity augmentation in anywhere in the world. By virtue of being the earlier participant in the game does not necessarily provide the rights to them to forbid any further capacity expansion being created in any country for the sole purpose of meeting the indigenous demand.

    Looking from this angle, the concern and apprehensions of surplus capacities in global steel and the consequent adverse implications for the market dynamics, employment and growth need to be applied with circumspection while discussing India’s case.

    It is gratifying to note that the government is quite appreciative and supportive of the endeavours of India’s steel industry in creating capacities where it is needed to cater to the rising requirements of the various end using sectors.

    Essar steel gets 2 weeks to make new repayment plan – ET Report

    Economic Times reported that lenders to Essar Steel have asked the company to prepare a new debt repayment plan. Bank officials will meet later this month to examine the company's proposal to repay loans of around Rs 40,000 crore. While two senior bankers said the need to come up with a fresh repayment plan was conveyed to the company after a core committee of bankers met on May 30 at the offices of the State Bank of India, an Essar Steel spokesperson said the company was unaware of any such meeting.

    Essar Steel had borrowed Rs 40,000 crore from 30 banks. The loan account has been classified as a non-performing asset after the steelmaker failed to repay on due dates.

    In March, the company had presented a 'deep restructuring' plan to borrowers, which involved reduction in interest rates and a longer repayment schedule. The consortium of lenders did not agree to this. Nov/, they want Essar Steel to stick to a deadline in preparing an acceptable repayment plan," said a senior bank official.

    South Korean steel companies facing rising credit risk on low cash

    Korea Herald reported that unlike Korea’s shipping and shipbuilding industries, the domestic steelmakers may not face immediate credit risks given that their problems have more to do with overcapacity in the market. The government, therefore, put the steel industry on a different watch list last April, urging the companies to voluntarily and preemptively improve their finances by reducing costs associated with equipment and inventories to offset overcapacity. The financial regulator also suggested them to restructure via mergers and acquisitions.

    However, their latest audit filings show that steel companies are exposed to rising debt with low cash in hand, leading to market speculations that they could be next in line to go through creditor-led restructuring if they face risks of defaulting on their debt. The Financial Services Commission had indicated that it could enforce restructuring in steel and petrochemical firms after the shipping and shipbuilding companies.

    Dongkuk Steel, for instance, has close to 3 trillion won ($2.6 billion) in current liabilities with assets of about 1.6 trillion won, including cash and cash equivalents of some 226 billion won. It needs to pay back 450 billion won to its bond investors by early next year. This means that even if it converts all of its current assets, Dongkuk will still not be able to meet its short-term debt obligations. Also, although it generated profit in the first quarter, the company is still facing difficulties to secure cash from its operations. Dongkuk bonds are graded BB.

    Hyundai Steel, the country’s second biggest steelmaker of Hyundai Motor Group, has more than 5 trillion won in current liabilities, including about 1 trillion won the company needs to pay back to its bond investors. Its current assets stand around 5 trillion won with 617 billion in cash as of the end of March this year, according to its auditing filing.

    POSCO, Korea’s largest steelmaker, is not facing as much credit risk as Dongkuk or Hyundai Steel as it has enough current assets to convert them to cash to pay for its short-term obligations.

    China committs to cutting steel overcapacity

    China and the United States have agreed to tackle steel glut. China said it would try to cut excess steel output, avoid competitive devaluation of the yuan and wind down unprofitable zombie firms. China has promised to curb its steel capacity and wind down "zombie enterprises", according to the US treasury secretary Jack Lew.

    Speaking after high-level talks between US and Chinese officials in Beijing, Lew told Reuters "China has committed to ensure that its central government policies and support do not target net expansion of steel capacity; and to actively and appropriately wind down 'zombie enterprises' through a range of efforts, including restructuring and bankruptcy."

    The commitment includes some new actions such as letting market forces determine which plants are excess, and two work with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development on the issue.

    Global co-ordination is required to deal with problems arising from steel overcapacity, China's vice finance minister Zhu Guangyao subsequently said.

    China has come under fire for flooding foreign markets with steel exports, resulting in what many see as an escalating trade war between in and the US. The US has slapped tax hikes of a range of Chinese steel imports.

    China's industrial overcapacity is a byproduct of the stimulus program implemented during the global financial crisis, during which China contributed about 50 percent to world economic growth. Now that the global economy is showing signs of picking up, however, the country has been blamed for flooding overseas markets with cheap steel.

    Measures by China to reduce excess capacity are there for all to see. Huge subsidies have been issued to help steel and coal companies resettle their redundant workers, as the two sectors will have to reduce their workforce by a combined 1.8 million. Moreover, loans and credit to the steel sector are now under much tighter scrutiny.

    China has shut down steel factories with a total capacity of over 90 million tonnes over the past five years and plans to reduce this by an additional 100 million to 150 million tonnes by 2020. The northern province of Hebei, which produces one fourth of the country's steel, pledged to reduce iron and steel output by 17.26 million tonnes and 14.22 million tonnes, this year.

    SMS to rebuild continuous slab caster at ArcelorMittal Avilés

    ArcelorMittal Avilés, Spain, has awarded SMS group the order to rebuild the two-strand bow-type slab caster No. 1 into a vertical bending machine. Caster No. 2 will be revamped as well, in a second phase. SMS group had proposed a project package that convinced ArcelorMittal Avilés not only for the proposed rebuilding concept and equipment but also for the breakdown of the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and the TPM (Total Productive Maintenance Costs).

    The expertise in plant modernization and the technologies developed by SMS group have made this economic solution possible. In order to keep the construction time as short as possible, the existing founda­tions and fixing bolts of the plant will be retained.

    The two-strand slab casters supplied by SMS group in 1987 can each produce about 1.9 tons of steel slabs per year. In order to meet the growing requirements of the market, the primary goal of this project is to improve the quality of the produced slabs. At the same time, the production capacity of the two casters will be increased in order to be prepared for future requirements. The new No. 1 caster will be designed to produce slabs 235 millimeters thick and between 800 and 1,600 millimeters wide.

    Source : Strategic Research Institute

    The complete plant, from the mold down to the exit, will be rebuilt into a vertical bending machine. Its radius will measure about eight meters and the vertical length 2.4 meters. The metallurgical length will be increased from 34 to 38 meters, the casting speed to 1.95 meters per minute.

    The plant will be equipped with SMS group's remote-adjustable mold (Delta Speed Adjustment). With this technology, any width adjust­ment and automatic setting of the mold taper can be performed during running production without having to reduce the casting speed. In doing so, the system takes into account the steel grade and the current casting speed. The mechanical oscillation system will be replaced by a hydraulic one, allowing the stroke and frequency to be varied during casting.

    SMS group will also implement a new secondary cooling concept based on a width-dependent spray cooling unit (single-component system) installed in the machine head. All cooling circuits for the mold, machine and spray cooling system will be completely renewed. The associated hydraulics will be adapted and extended.

    ArcelorMittal Avilés will receive new workshops which will be equipped with the HD LASr alignment assistant developed by SMS group. This system no longer uses rulers to measure the mold and the segments but a laser tracker and the dedicated SMS-devel­oped measuring software. The high quality of the measurements, the precise and reliable logging function and the highly informative evaluation of the measurements provided by HD LASr make this technology clearly superior to any previously available system.

    The slab caster will be prepared for hydraulic soft reduction. SMS group will also implement various level-2 process models as part of the X-Pact® electrical and automation system. HD moldTC will monitor the temperature distribution, allowing any stickers or break­outs to be identified at an early stage and prevented. The metallurgi­cal process model DSC (Dynamic Solidification Control) calculates the solidification process of the strand and controls the various zones of the secondary cooling system.

    The two-strand continuous caster No. 2 will be revamped in the same way as caster No. 1.

    The integrated iron and steelworks of ArcelorMittal in Avilés produces premium steels for the automotive and tinplate industries as well as for plate production.

    ArcelorMittal joins construction sustainability institute

    ArcelorMittal has become a member of the Institut Bauen und Umwelt (IBU) – the Institute of Construction and the Environment.

    Joining the IBU gives ArcelorMittal reliable, worldwide recognition of the sustainability credentials of its steel products for the construction industry.

    IBU specialises in the sustainability labelling of construction products and materials. Based in Germany, IBU is one of the most renowned Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) programme operators, recognised worldwide for its reviewers’ expertise and providing mutual recognition with a large number of other labelling schemes and operators.

    EPDs are increasingly required by companies working in and supplying to the construction industry. They are based on a life cycle assessment of a product, and include detailed information on its potential environmental impact. “In order to provide a comprehensive sustainability assessment for a construction project, transparency is important, which means having all the relevant data. This is what EPDs offer”, explains Anne-Laure Hettinger, head of global R&D sustainability department.

    EPDs have already been done for ArcelorMittal’s steel reinforced bars and are underway for sheet piles. “The company is already planning to create further EPDs for structural beams, road safety barriers and coated coils”, adds Roberto Turconi, ArcelorMittal sustainability engineer responsible for construction.

    Karnataka to start auction of 14 iron ore mines by August 2016

    PTI reported that Karnataka will begin the auction process for 14 iron ore mines by August this year after it was delayed on account of issues related to stamp duty.

    A senior government official said that "At the high-level meeting of the State Mining Ministers, Karnataka's Minister for Mines and Geology Vinay Kulkarni said that the state will start the auction process for 14 iron ore mines by August this year."

    The official said that the minister said auction was delayed due to issues relating to the applicable stamp duty.

    In July 2015, Supreme Court had directed Karnataka government to commence the auction of 15 'C' category iron ore mines in which end-user firms dealing in steel, sponge iron or pelletisation only would be able to take part.

    The state government had in September 2013 cancelled 51 'C' category mining leases following an apex court order.

    So far, Odisha is the only state to have auctioned an iron ore mine, which was won by the Ruias-promoted Essar Group. The auction will help the state government earn a revenue, including royalty, DMF and NMET, of Rs 11,328 crore over a period of 50 years.
    According to government data, domestic production of iron ore was 169 million tonnes (MT) in 2011-12 and 137 MT in 2012-13 against consumption of 101 MT and 103 MT, respectively.

    In 2015-16, India mined about 155 MT of the ore against 129 MT a year-ago.

    Port Hedland moved over 450MT of iron ore in past 12 months

    According to data released by the Pilbara Ports Authority, iron ore exports from Port Hedland - Australia’s largest loading terminal - rose strongly in May.

    A total of 39.3742 million tonnes of ore were shipped during the month, up 4.5% on April. Compared to a year earlier, that represented an increase of 3.6%.

    In cumulative terms, exports over the past year rose to 450.6 million tonnes, the highest annual total on record.

    Iron ore shipments to China, making up the vast majority of all ore shipped each month, came in at 31.66 million tonnes, down fractionally on the 32.612 million tonne figure recorded in April.

    Het aantal views was, en is, behoorlijk hoog. Blijkbaar is er toch behoefte aan om naast, het weinige Arcelor Mittal nieuws, wat ander sector nieuws te lezen.

    Ik heb geen positie meer in AM, maar blijf dit aandeel volgen.
    Deels nostalgie, deels interesse, om ook andere lezers e.a. van nieuws te voorzien, wat je niet snel elders zal vinden. (zonder zoekwerk).

    Misschien heb ik in al die jaren misschien "teveel" opgezocht en geplaatst, en zijn daardoor sommigen "lui" geworden om zelfs de handen uit de mouwen te steken.

    Hoe dan ook, het blijft een "vergaarbak" voor ieder wat hij/zij wilt om te grabbelen.

    Ratner Steel Supply wins 10-year tax abatement for expansion at Portage

    Post-Tribune reported that a rapidly growing steel supply business won tax abatements on a huge addition to its Portage plant and on big-dollar manufacturing equipment. Minnesota-based Ratner Steel Supply will double the size of its plant on the city's north side and fill up to 30 new jobs. The city gave the company a 10-year tax abatement for the expansion, which is a smart move, according to Andy Maletta, Portage's economic development director.

    "(The expansion) is going to create jobs, and those new employees are going to spend their money in the community and on property taxes," he said.

    Communities across the state offer tax abatement packages to lure companies into their borders. In the case of Ratner, the company will pay no property taxes the first year, 10 percent of its tax bill the second year and more each year until the 10-year mark, when it will be on the hook for the whole tax bill.

    The city lured Ratner to the area in 2012. At the time, the company expected to bring about 25 to 30 jobs altogether, Maletta said. With its location in the heart of steel producing country and an available pool of qualified workers, the company exploded, Maletta said.
