BRUSSEL (AFN/BLOOMBERG) - De Europese Unie dreigt de tarieven op roestvrijstaal uit China en Taiwan te verlengen. Dit nadat Europese producenten hebben gevraagd om een langere bescherming tegen het dumpen van staal op de Europese markt. Huidige afspraken vervallen op 28 augustus.

De Europese Commissie onderzoekt of maatregelen moeten worden verlengd en aangescherpt. De angst bestaat dat Chinese en Taiwanese producenten staal, dat wordt gebruikt in onder meer liften, ketels, tanks, keukenapparatuur, onder de kostprijs in de Europese markt zetten.

Europese staalmakers hebben eind mei een verzoek ingediend voor verlening van de afspraken, omdat herhaling van de dumpingpraktijken bij het versoepelen van de regels op de loer ligt. Onderzoek naar de kwestie kan tot 15 maanden duren. Tot dit is afgerond blijven de huidige tarieven in stand.

Diplomatieke tour

Overigens is China dinsdag begonnen met een diplomatieke tour langs verschillende Europese landen om zo de banden aan te halen. De Chinese minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Wang Yi brengt deze week bezoeken aan Italië, Nederland, Noorwegen, Frankrijk en Duitsland. Daarbij zal onder meer worden gepraat over economische samenwerking en de bestrijding van het coronavirus.

De tour moet ook helpen de Amerikaanse campagne tegen China te ondermijnen, waarbij bondgenoten van de Verenigde Staten worden gevraagd niet samen te werken met Peking. Zo waarschuwde de Amerikaanse minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Mike Pompeo bij recente bezoeken aan Europa dat China een groter veiligheidsgevaar vormt dan Rusland.

voestalpine to Restart Small Blast Furnace in Linz

voestalpine Blast FurnaceIn early September voestalpine will restart the small blast furnace in Linz which has been temporarily shut down since March, following the abrupt slump in customer demand caused by Covid-19. Voestalpine said “The gradual revival of demand, which is most pronounced in the automotive, electrical, and processing industries, has led to an increased need for high-quality steel grades, making this step possible. The first signs of recovery are also evident in the mechanical engineering and energy segments, for which the site in Linz also produces high quality steel products.”

It added “Together with the two other blast furnaces at the site, the restart of the small blast furnace brings steel production back up to almost normal levels, after capacity was throttled back following Covid-19.

The voestalpine Steel Division operates one large and two small blast furnaces at the site in Linz, which together have an annual pig iron production capacity of around five million tons. Another two blast furnaces are located at the headquarters of the Metal Engineering Division, in Donawitz, Styria, and produce a total of up to 1.5 million tons of pig iron each year. One of the two blast furnaces in Donawitz is scheduled for interim repairs from June to October, and will only be restarted when customer demand requires.

Indian Steel Sector May Get Infrastructure Status

According to a report in ETNOW, Indian government is considering various options for promoting the steel sector including granting of infrastructure status to the domestic steel industry. The grant of infrastructure status for the domestic steel industry will provide easier access of funds from lending financial institutions, faster clearances of mandatory government approvals required for new projects, the sourcing of a large amount of funds though external commercial borrowings, and access to funds under long-term debt instruments

Industry body Ficci had suggested various measures like infrastructure status to the steel industry; zero duty on critical raw materials, and another three-month moratorium to revive the sector, which has been impacted by the lockdown in May 2020. Granting infrastructure status to the steel industry, it said, will give access to finance at competitive rates from various markets and sources. Besides, the entire supply chain of the sector should be incorporated into essential services, and be allowed to operate with precautionary measures as per the guidelines of the government.

NLMK Completes Custom Order for Russian Machine Builders

NLMK Lipetsk and A GRUPP, Russian metal trading company, have developed and delivered the first batch of hot rolled 25X grade heat-resistant and wear-resistant steel sheets to Oka Machine Building Plant in Nizhny Novgorod region as part of a packaged solution. The use of this steel for the production of fast-wearing elements of car bogies undercarriage assemblies increases their service life and reduces machining costs. This new grade required NLMK Lipetsk to develop a new chemical composition of steel, adjust the steel smelting and conditioning process, and finetune the hot rolling mode. Tests confirmed that compared to the steel grade previously used by OMP, NLMK steel is 10% stronger and enables more reliable operation of undercarriage assemblies. Moreover, on-site testing indicated that the proposed steel grade requires lower machining costs.

A GRUPP is one of the largest metal trading companies in Russia. A GRUPP sells pipes and rolled metal, produces metal structures, designs and commissions buildings and industrial facilities. A GRUPP steel centers are located in the Central, North-Western, Volga, Southern, Ural, Siberian and Far Eastern Federal districts, as well as in the Republic of Belarus and the Kyrgyz Republic.

GMS Market Commentary on Shipbreaking in Week 34 - Too Much Too Soon

A major correction in Indian steel plate prices by nearly USD 20/LDT this week has led to some jitters in Alang. especially after prices had rocketed up from their lows below USD 300/LDT over the previous months. Many had certainly been suspecting that it was 'too much too scon' (the way prices jumped over recent weeks) and that an inevitable period of either a correction or stability may be seen before perhaps prices push on further in the fourth quarter again. Steel prices have been at the highest point we have seen so far this year across tire subcontinent markets, but external factors such as tire ongoing Coronavirus pandemic (India has once again recorded daily high Covid cases this week) and a steady supply of containers (in particular) and HKC green vessels have resulted in some form of resistance on prices creeping back up towards the USD 400s/LDT mark once again

Pakistan remains fire highest placed recycling destination for yet another week, even though a slowdown in supply of market non-green vessels in recent weeks has seen their progress stall somewhat A majority of the large Capesize bulkers and VLOCs sold during the year so far, have gene to Bangladesh and many local yards still remain stuffed with tonnage, ahead of an anticipated return to form come / during tire fourth quarter of the year.

Finally, after last week's improvement, the Turkish market doesn't seem to have made much movement this week as fundamentals and prices remain steady’ and as die summer holiday’ mood permeates throughout die industry.

On tire sales front however, several sales did manage to register into India, as a slew of HKC vessels were confirmed into Alang for another week at impressive numbers.

Chinese Steel Girders for Padma Bridge Rail Link Reach Bangladesh

BSS reported that the first batch of steel girder, to be used in the Padma Bridge Rail Link Project, arrived at Chattogram port as the China Railway Group Limited delivered the materials to the construction site. The consignment arrived at Chattogram port during Eid-ul-Azha holidays and the CREC, the contractor of the project, ensured smooth delivery of the materials to the construction site, said a press release today. Considering the stipulated timeline for the completion of the project, this is a major progress as the production of steel beams has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic followed by massive flooding, it said.

According to CREC, the production and delivery of the steel beams was a big challenge. Due to high water level of Yangtze River and plum-rain season in China, transportation from Jiujiang City of Jiangxi Province to Shanghai Port via waterway became very difficult and risky. However, considering the urgency and deadline, CREC took additional measures at Shanghai Port to ensure smooth shipping of the beams.

The steel girders include 8 steel truss girder bridges, and 53 steel plate girder bridges, which are all manufactured by China Railway Hi-Tech Industry Co. Ltd., and shipped from Shanghai port to Bangladesh for assembling and on-site erection. The transported steel beams will be used for the on-site erection of bridge No 87, 45, 49, 56, 107, 112, and 120.

The 168.6 kilometers project stretches from Dhaka to Jashore. Of the total project length, 16.7 kilometers is elevated railway. The project includes 181 kilometers of ballasted tracks and 32 kilometers of ballastless tracks, 63 large, medium, and small bridges forming a total length of 30.5 kilometers, and 230 culverts of different sizes.

BlueScope Steel Adopts Zero Trust Model in Cyber Security Strategy

IT News reported that BlueScope Steel is putting together a new global cyber security strategy that will, among other things, set the company on a path to implementing a zero trust model where users, devices and applications are subject to checks every time they request access to a corporate resource. Chief information security officer Audrey Hanson told a recent Secureworks webinar that the move to zero trust is necessitated by the large scale shift to working from home. He said “One of the big things that we’ve had to deal with is moving to environments that we really have no control over. If people are connecting to our network through the VPN, that's only allowed on BlueScope devices. At this time, we don't allow them to do that on non-corporate devices. In the office, we basically have control over everything: their device, the network, what they access, how they access it. But now, the majority of our staff are working from home on networks that we have no control over, on devices we have no control over.”

Mr Hanson also flagged potential investment in a cloud access security broker, which is used by enterprises to extend security policy to cloud-based applications.

Although not all of BlueScope’s staff could work from home, its manufacturing facilities, for example, required people to be onsite, those that can work from home do, and not all of them use BlueScope-owned devices or the corporate VPN.

BlueScope had reported a cyber incident that affected its manufacturing and sales operations in Australia. The ransomware infection was discovered in one of the company's United States-based businesses.

Belarusian Steel Mill BMZ to Make More Metal Cord & Wire in August

BelTA reported that the Belarusian steel mill BMZ is busy increasing the workload of the divisions that make fabricated metal products. The company intends to make and ship to customers about 30,000 tonnes of metal cord and various kinds of wire in August. The projected output is nearly one third above the figure registered in May 2020 when the global steel market demonstrated a massive decrease in demand due to the coronavirus crisis. BMZ's wire manufacturing divisions, in particular, the production of metal cord and bronzed bead wire, were hit hard by consequences of the coronavirus pandemic's impact on the global economy. The demand for these products plummeted after major European tire manufacturers suspended their operations. However, the workload of the hardware manufacturing divisions is steadily increasing now.

In August BMZ also received additional orders for nearly 1,000 tonnes of metal cord and bronzed bead wire from tire manufacturers located in Serbia, Germany, Russia, Romania, Hungary, and Czechia. The BMZ team is now working hard to fulfill these orders.

In January-July 2020 BMZ exported nearly 1.2 million tonnes of metal products to 50 countries across the globe. The top consumers were Russia, Germany, Israel, Lithuania, and Poland.
