ArcelorMittal restarts BF at Dunkirk plant in France

摘要

ArcelorMittal has restarted its blast furnace (BF) No3 at its Dunkirk flat steel plant in France, the company told Fastmarkets on Tuesday August 25. “We have restarted BF No3 in Dunkirk and it is currently in its ramp up phase,” the company’s spokesman said. ArcelorMittal announced its plans to resume production in the middle of July after the equipment was idled from March 23 this year, when steel demand dropped due to the economic effects of the lockdown measures intended to control the spread of Covid-19.
