Metinvest fears the blast furnaces of its Azovstal Iron and Steel Works could decrease output to the lowest possible level because of the lack of coke.
According to the group’s press-service at present all the blast furnaces are operating, as they get coke from the 3 coking batteries. But they are not enough to provide for the full operation of the works, and in case of coke shortage the company might have to decrease capacity level. (Ukrainian metal)
