ArcelorMittal Kriviy Rih has decreased its operation to the technical minimum resulting in the drop of manufacture of raw materials for blast furnaces.

This complicates the operation of the largest blast furnace in Europe with the volume of 5034 cubic meters.

Without raw materials, the blast furnace No. 9 will not operate.

On February 28, the company launched the shut down of the furnace. Blast furnaces Nos. 6 and 8 will continue operating. (Ukrainian metal)
