MMK Reports Surge in Production & Sales in Apr-Jun Quarter

Russian steel maker PJSC Magnitogorsk Iron & Steel Works announced that its pig iron output in April-June 2021 quarter increased by 2.6% QoQ to 2.640 million tonnes, driven by the increase in productivity of blast furnaces amid continuing high steel demand while steel output grew 3.1% QoQ to 3,401 million tonnes, reflecting favourable market conditions. MMK Group’s sales of steel products totalled 3.320 million tonnes, up 14.3% QoQ, driven by high steel demand. Sales of the Group's premium products were up 20.6% QoQ to 1,392 million tonnes, driven by seasonal growth in demand.

In Russia, demand for rolled steel in Q2 2021 stayed high, supported by the continuing recovery of the Russian economy after the recession of 2020. During the first five months of 2021, apparent steel use of rolled steel in Russia grew 6.5% YoY, with May figures up as high as 35.9% YoY. The growing seasonal demand in the construction industry, ongoing national projects and easing of pandemic-related restrictions were the key drivers for the Russian steel products market in Q2 2021.

Average selling prices for Q2 2021 grew by 32.4% QoQ to USD 944 per tonne, driven by an upward trend in global prices for metal products amid continued global supply constraints. In H1 2021, prices grew by 49.3% YoY to USD 836 per tonne, driven by favourable market dynamics amid last year’s low base.

Sheffield MP Mr Blomfield Calls for Green Steel Making in UK

The Star reported that Sheffield Central’s Member of Parliament Mr Paul Blomfield has urged UK’s Minister for Climate Change Ms Anne Marie Trevelya to back the pilots as a greener way of manufacturing steel ahead of the COP26, the United Nations’ Climate Change Conference, in November. In a Parliamentary debate titled economic recovery from Covid-19: climate action, Mr Blomfield said: “The success of the UK Presidency requires leadership at home. The Government has pledged to consider the Climate Change Committee’s recommendation for near zero-emission iron-ore steelmaking by 2035, but a plan for decarbonising steel production must be published before COP26. Hydrogen is among the emerging technologies offering solutions and its use is progressing across the rest of Europe. The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit recently reported on 23 pilot projects planned or live across several countries producing 10 million tonnes of clean steel annually by 2026. Can the Minister say whether the Government is considering hydrogen-based pilots as part of its plan for steel?”

Mr Blomfield said: “To make the ‘rapid, unprecedented and far-reaching transitions‘that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recommended, Government has to work with industry to create greener manufacturing, we need investment in practical solutions which reduce our carbon footprint, not just tokenistic gestures. We are already behind the rest of Europe on transforming steel production and so I’m disappointed that the Minister failed to take the opportunity to commit to green steel pilots in the UK. This lack of leadership threatens our credibility at COP26.”

Ms Trevelyan said the government would soon publish its hydrogen strategy which will set out in detail the government’s plans as well as a GBP 250 million und for pilot projects but did not commit to UK pilots for steelmaking.

It follows scientists at the University of Sheffield and Leeds securing GBP 1.26 million funding to explore new technology and ways to decarbonise the steel industry within 30 years and Sheffield’s Liberty Steel is already working on a hydrogen steel plant in France which, if developed, would be one of the first of its type in the country.

Association Denies Steel Price Agreement with Brazil Government

After Brazilian Economy Minister Mr Paulo Guedes announced that Brazilian steelmakers had pledged not to raise steel prices until the end of the year, Brazil’s Steel Association Aço Brasil denied that the sector has made agreements in this regard, even if informally. Aço Brasil's president Mr Marco Pollo de Mello Lopes in an interview with Valor Econômico newspaper said July 15 that “Mr Guedes suggested a price lock due to fear of inflationary pressures and complaints from the civil construction sector. Due to compliance, competition and trade policies specific to each company, we could not sign this commitment. During the meetings with the minister it was mentioned that rising raw materials costs such as iron ore, scrap and met coal were the reason for the adjustments in steel prices in Brazil and in the world but have now showed some signs of stabilization. Steel supply in Brazil has balanced, with higher availability from local mills and a strong increase in imports. Brazilian steelmakers are operating near 75% of installed capacity and reducing exports.”

Valor Econômico newspaper report quoted Mr Guedes as saying that he was trying to reduce the imports tariff over certain undisclosed steel products to help several industry segments in Brazil. The minister said he would like to make this cut tomorrow but that some Mercosur ties would delay what he considered ideal, which would be a generalized drop in tariffs in the country, not just for steel. He added “An attempt to reduce the tariff from 12% to 10.8% for steel was blocked by Argentina.”

Year to date the Brazilian domestic rebar price has risen 37% and has increased 154% in the past 12 months

Companies associated with the Instituto Aço Brasil include

5 Firms Were Interested in Special Steel Plant COS Târgovi?te

Profit.ro reported that five potential investors have expressed interest in the industrial functional asset of the Special Steel Plant COS Târgovi?te in Romania, which has been in insolvency for almost 8 years and is now facing bankruptcy.

1. AFV Beltrame Group

2. Techcom GmbH

3. Sunningwell International of Poland

4. Liberty Steel

5. Aygunsan Demir Celik

Ii entered bankruptcy after the local court overruled its reorganization plan proposed by creditor Alphard Financial. The court rejected the exception of inadmissibility of the bankruptcy application, a request made by the electricity supplier and ordered the commencement of the bankruptcy procedure. The ruling is not final. The next deadline to continue the procedure is October 19. COS Târgoviste announced that it would appeal against the sentence, including for the suspension of the execution of the syndic judge's decision until the appeal is resolved.

Bursa Electrica’s Distributie Energie Electrica România had filed an application with the court bankruptcy of the Special Steel Plant COS Târgovi?te for a current outstanding debt, accumulated after the plant went into insolvency, of over 3 million. The bankruptcy of COS Târgovi?te was also requested by the raw material supplier Uni Steel Impex SRL from Bucharest, a distributor of ferroalloys and non-ferrous metals controlled by Mirabela Fili?an and Adrian Popa

The creditors' meeting of COS Târgovi?te recently approved the proposal to complete the reorganization plan of the company submitted to the court by the largest creditor, the offshore with unknown shareholding Alphard Financial Corp. from the British Virgin Islands, which holds total receivables of almost 254 million lei on the plant, an amendment that provides for the urgent start of the procedure for sale by public auction of the functional asset COS Targoviste by transfer of assets activity. The amount collected from the sale will be used for the payment of budget debts to ANAF, in the amount of over 200 million lei.

COS Târgovi?te was owned by the Russian group Mechel, but the majority stake was taken over in 2013 by the offshore Mazur Investments Ltd in Cyprus, which has 86% of the capital. The Romanian state holds 4%.

Baowu Steel Aiming to Cross 150 Million Tonnes Steel Capacity

Chinese media had reported in January that China’s seventh-biggest steelmaker Shandong Iron and Steel Group with 31.11 million tonnes would merge into Baowu Steel Group to increase steel production capacity to 155 million tonnes per year. Shandong Iron and Steel Co Ltd informed Shanghai Stock Exchange on 14 July 2021 that “The state assets regulator of eastern China’s Shandong province was working with Baowu on a strategic restructuring of parent company Shandong Iron and Steel Group. This matter may lead to a change in the company’s controlling shareholder and actual controller.”

Evolution of Baowu Steel Group

In 1978, as part of the Chinese government's reform and opening, Chinese paramount leader Deng Xiaoping sought to develop large-scale steel production in China. The government planned for a large integrated steel production facility to be located near the port of Shanghai in Baoshan District, a suburb of Shanghai.

In1998, the former Baoshan Iron and Steel (Group) Corporation absorbed the Shanghai Metallurgical Holding Group Corporation and the Shanghai Meishan Group to form Shanghai Baosteel Group Corporation. The new conglomerate was the largest steel producer in the country with annual steel production of nearly 20 million tonnes.

In 2004, the listed subsidiary acquired Meishan Iron and Steel from Baosteel Group via Shanghai Meishan Group.

In 2007 Baosteel Group acquired the majority stake of Xinjiang Ba Yi Iron and Steel Group, which was the parent company of Ba Yi Iron and Steel.

In 2011, Baosteel Group acquired 51% stake of Guangdong Shaoguan Iron and Steel Group

Baowu Steel Group was formed with the merger of Baosteel and Wisco in 2016 that gave it a capacity of 59 million tonnes per year. Its 2019 acquisition of Maanshan Iron and Steel raised its capacity to 90 million tonnes per year.

In 2019, China Baowu Steel Group acquired 51% stake of Masteel Group from of Anhui Provincial People's Government

Baowu completed its acquisition of the 10 million tonnes per year Kunming in 2021.

BIS Standards Wreak Havoc in Metal Packaging Industry in India

India’s tin can making industry association Metal Container Manufacturers Association has urged the government to drop the steel and steel products quality control order for now, issued by the Ministry of Steel to impose mandatory BIS certification. The government had issued the order on July 17, 2020, pushing units for BIS certification for the major input material required such as tinplate, tin-free steel, and had also imposed restrictions on various steel products like easy-open ends, peel off ends etc. MCMA said “Considering Covid-19 situation with restriction on movements in and out of the country including International travel, MCMA recommends to defer this notification till March 2022. It is virtually impossible to force the international suppliers for BIS certifications as the procedure of BIS registration is highly cumbersome.”

MCMA said “In the wake of acute shortage of tinplate& tin free steel material which is largely used to manufacture cans and containers to pack processed food and fruits, the processed food packaging industry is feeling a pinch. The small players who are into the business of packaging fruits and other processed food have lamented that the government is not able to meet the demand for tin cans and containers.”

Indian tin can makers face a significant demand-supply gap for the major raw material, which is tinplate & tin-free steel to the extent of 250,000 tonnes per annum, which is met through imports. According to MCMA, Indian domestic steel mills claim to have an annual rated capacity of about 700,000 tonnes but they have never been able to produce more than 400,000-450,000 tonnes. Tin-free steel is produced only by one mill which is Tin Plate Company, and that too once a quarter; hence they are never able to meet regular monthly & seasonal demand of the industry. Problem is about the demand versus supply gap. The gap also includes the material used for non-critical products which have been filled from imports.

South Korean Shipbuilders to Face Earnings Shock in Q2

Yonhap reported that South Korean shipbuilders are forecast to report sluggish earnings in the second quarter of the year due to a sharp rise in prices of steel plates despite brisk orders. The cost of steel plates takes up about 20% of the overall expense of the ship construction. A hike in prices of raw materials, including steel plates, will eat into leading shipbuilders' profits in the second quarter.

South Korea's leading steelmaker POSCO has raised the prices of steel plates for ships to KWR 1.15 million per tonne (USD 1,000), up nearly two times from a year ago.

The leading local shipbuilders Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Co (Hyundai Heavy Industries Co, Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries Co and Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co), Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co and Samsung Heavy Industries Co have bagged better-than-expected new orders in the January-June period.

AMNS India CEO Expects Indian Steel Demand to Recover

ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India CEO Mr Dilip Oommen during the “India Focus” segment on “Bloomberg Markets: Asia” discussed the impact the pandemic had on his business, steel demand and the company’s expansion plans. He said “The steel demand is expected to revive. It stood higher in June this year, compared with May. The auto sales in the country witnessed 147% year-on-year growth in June, suggesting strong recovery in auto sector, which in turn should augur well for the steel sector.”

He said “The decarbonisation drive in China is likely to impact steel production in that country. Incidentally, the Chinese steel production is projected to remain flat in 2021. The increased production during the initial half of the current year will be balanced by reduced output in H2. Also, there have been no structural changes to suggest that steel prices will come down from current levels.”

Hyundai Steel Nickel Steel Plates for LNG Cryogenic Tanks in Ships

Korea IT Times reported that Hyundai Steel will set up a production system for 9% Ni steel plates that can withstand cryogenic temperatures. The 9% Ni steel, which Hyundai Steel completed development in December last year, is widely used as a material for LNG storage facilities due to its excellent resistance to shocks even in cryogenic environments and excellent welding performance. LNG has recently seen a surge in demand due to its significantly lower emissions of pollutants than conventional diesel fuels. However, if LNG is used as fuel for ships, there are technical restrictions such as keeping the inside of the storage facility below minus 165 degrees Celsius.

Hyundai Steel signed a 9% Ni steel contract with Hyundai Heavy Industries in February for fuel tanks for LNG-powered super-large container ships under construction and has been supplying products since June. The supply amount is two LNG-powered super-large container ships, 2,100 tonnes. Before supplying, it has been developing products through two-way Early Vendor Investment activities such as conducting quality evaluation meetings with customers and reflecting customer quality requirements in production.

Starting with this order, Hyundai Steel plans to actively target LNG-related markets such as LNG plants and land storage tanks used in LNG terminals as well as LNG propulsion tank fuel tanks.

Ludhiana Induction Furnace Steel Mills Seek Steel Price Regulator

Times of India reported that Ludhiana based steel furnace industry representatives met the new Steel Minister Mr Ramchandra Prasad Singh at his office in New Delhi recently and discussed issues being faced by the industry especially the factories located in Punjab including setting up of a steel regulatory authority, which should monitor rates of steel raw material and take action against the persons involved in artificial hike in the rates of steel. Induction Furnace Association of North India President Mr KK Garg said “We met the Union steel minister Ramchandra Prasad Singh today along with welcoming him for assuming the charge of the ministry. We also discussed the problems being faced by businessmen, specially those belonging to the secondary steel sector. We also apprised him about the issue of rising prices of steel raw material in the country and other hardships being faced by industrialists like increasing rates of power, shortage of industrial grade oxygen gas and dropping sales. The minister gave us a patient hearing and also assured that our problems will be considered by him and after discussing with the officials concerned the solutions too will be provided at the earliest.’’

Sewing Machine Development Club President Mr Jagbir Singh Sokhi said, “It is our request to the new Union minister for steel that the first and foremost step he should take for the welfare of industry is to setup a steel prices regulator to keep a check on the rates of steel, which are being artificially inflated by some entities who for their greed are hurting the micro small and medium enterprises. The regulator must also have the powers to take strict action against the steel producer, distributor, middle man and everyone who is engaged in the sale and purchase of the steel raw material, as this is the only way the situation can be countered."

Daimler Honours Steel Supplier Big River Steel for Sustainability

Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz AG have honoured the American steel supplier Big River Steel for the exceptionally sustainable production of steel. By using recycled steel scrap and renewable energy, Big River Steel is able to reduce the CO2 emissions for Mercedes-Benz products in steel manufacturing by more than 70% compared to the traditional blast furnace route. In addition, the partner has set up a closed cycle in which the sheet-steel offcuts generated during production are fully recycled. The Big River Steel plant in Osceola, Arkansas, is the first steel production facility to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification. Steel is a core component in vehicle construction and is very energy-intensive to produce.

Other nominees were:

Pöppelmann – The medium-sized plastics processing company from Germany is working intensively on the development of a sustainable material loop and a 100% post-consumer recyclate that meets high quality standards. In addition, the moulding technique saves 10% weight during production, making plastic more sustainable as a lightweight material.

Sansera – The Indian supplier achieved significant CO2 savings through a partial switch to solar and wind energy. In addition, the company has carried out numerous projects to protect the environment at its site. This commitment is also particularly noteworthy because companies in India can take advantage of longer implementation periods with respect to the Paris Climate Agreement. Sansera is already working systematically towards early achievement of these goals.

Tenaris Deploys Hydraulic Fracturing Operations in Vaca Muerta

Tenaris is now performing hydraulic fracturing operations, a first for the company, in the Vaca Muerta formation, the world's second largest reservoir for shale gas and fourth for shale oil in Argentina. With this milestone, Tenaris is expanding its offer of services to customers in the region. As of June, 90 fractures have been completed in three wells with very good efficiency indicators, accompanying the increase of production levels in Fortín de Piedra’s unconventional gas field, operated by Tecpetrol. The set up was achieved in record time following the acquisition of hydraulic fracturing, coiled tubing and wireline equipment from Baker Hughes Argentina this March.

Tenaris President for the Southern Cone Mr Javier Martínez Álvarez said “This is a key project, not only because it expands our participation in the onshore non-conventional services sector and particularly for the Vaca Muerta shale play, but it also demonstrates Tenaris's ability to continue offering innovation and synergies in the energy industry.”
