Azovstal Iron and Steel Works, a part of Metinvest, is operating at 55% of its capacity while the orders allow it to work at 80-85%. This is the result of the coke shortages following the railroad blockade.

According to the company CEO Enver Tskitishvili, because of the blockade Azovstal stopped receiving coke from Avdiivka Coke and Chemical Works.

Mariupol Ilyich Iron and Steel Works is operating at 50% of its capacity.

The blockade also stopped coal deliveries from Krasnodonugol to Avdiivka Coke.

Avdiivka Coke, Mariupol Ilyich, Azovstal and Krasnodonugol are all parts of Metinvest. (Ukrainian metal)
