NCLT rejects ArcelorMittal’s plea for EPC Construction revote - Report

ET reported that Mumbai bench of National Company Law Tribunal has rejected ArcelorMittal India’s plea to set aside the resolution plan submitted by Royale Partners Investment Fund for EPC Construction India, formerly Essar Projects India. Mr MK Shrawat, presiding officer of the Mumbai-bench of NCLT, said “I am not inclined to interfere with the decision of the committee of creditors in approving RPIF’s resolution plan. As far as legal and procedural requirements are concerned, prima facie, they are complete in all aspects and will be looked into further at the stage of plan approval by this bench.”

The lenders of EPC Construction India have approved RPIF’s revival plans with 73% voting. The local subsidiary of Luxembourg-based ArcelorMittal Group sought the National Company Law Tribunal’s intervention to direct EPIL’s lenders to re-vote on its plan and restrain the resolution professional and lenders from proceeding with implementation of RPIF’s resolution. ArcelorMittal had opposed the lenders’ decision to approve the Royale Partners’ plan, arguing that it did not having approval from the Competition Commission of India, as required. ArcelorMittal said the total value of its offer was more than INR 2,200 crore, including INR 1,084 crore of fresh equity in EPC Construction India, which owes over INR 7,200 crore to its financial and operational lenders.

Tangshan city to relocate 13 steel mills with 51.4 million tonne capacity to Laoting and Fengnan

Xinhua reported that city of Tangshan in north China's Hebei Province has kicked off a campaign to relocate and upgrade 13 steel and iron mills in a bid to reduce pollution and energy consumption. Mr Lang Wenchang, deputy director of the city's development and reform commission, said that “13 mills near the main urban areas of Tangshan, which have a total production capacity of 51.4 million tonnes, will be relocated to coastal industrial parks in Laoting and Fengnan in Tangshan. Highly polluting companies, including steel mills and coking firms, in and within 25 km of urban areas, contributed to 70% of local air pollutants.”

The major steel base in Laoting is under construction and is scheduled to start operation in the second half of the year. It will use more energy-saving and environmentally-friendly techniques and churn out more high-end steel products.

The relocation and upgrading in Tangshan will help cut coal consumption by 1 million tonnes and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide by 20 million tonnes a year, according to the city's ecology and environment department.

The city plans to reduce the number of local steel and iron companies to within 30 from the current 38 by 2020 and to within 25 by 2025, with more moving up the value chain to produce high-end products. Between 2013 and 2018, Tangshan cut its steel and iron production capacity by more than 78 million tonnes in a bid to reduce excess capacity.

Network Steel to start galvanizing unit in the old facilities of Vestas in Leon

La Nueva Cronica reported that the Junta de Castilla y León, governing and administrative body of the Spanish autonomous community of Castile and León, will simplify and speed up the time of administrative procedures to the Network Steel group by half for the implantation of a new factory of fine galvanized steel coil and special thicknesses in the old facilities of Vestas at Villadangos del Páramo in Lion in Spain. It said “This business initiative, which involves an investment of more than EUR 100 million and the creation of 350 direct jobs, 200 of them in the last quarter of the year and 150 that will be added at a later stage, which It will end at the end of 2021, when production is at full capacity.”

The Minister of Economy and Finance, Pilar del Olmo, recalled that this action is part of the Territorial Development Plan for the town of Leon and its surroundings. In fact, he pointed out that some of the workers dismissed by Vestas have already joined and the rest will do so gradually. Currently, the firm produces between 250,000 and 350,000 tonnes of steel per year.

The development of this factory will be the result of a process of reconversion of the dependencies that until a few months ago occupied Vestas, dedicated to the manufacture, sale, assembly and maintenance of wind turbines. The Danish company announced in August 2018 the closure of its productive center, a process that ended with an extinction employment regulation file of around 500 employees, to which is added the impact caused on another thousand workers linked to its activity indirectly.

In January 2012, Network Steel Resources was established in Madrid, the holding company that groups together international commercial activity such as industrial production. With headquarters in Madrid, it has a team based in Shanghai in constant contact with the main suppliers in China and Taiwan. Additionally, it has offices in Switzerland, Morocco, Peru, Turkey, Thailand and Brazil. It’s Aranda Coated Solutions line transforms the galvanized coil into coil and pre-painted strip. The plant is located in Aranda de Duero (Burgos, Spain) and began operating in February 2012 and has a production capacity of 100,000 tonnes per year. Todoaceros, located in Aranda de Duero and starting operations in November 2011, has the most modern hot rolled coil pickling facilities in Europe. The prepainted steel line from Santander Coated Solutions has started operating at the end of 2016.

Trump Trade War - Canada release 4 lists exempting steel & aluminium products from tariff

Canada has issued new exemptions to retaliatory tariffs on US steel imports, despite recent indications that additional measures against the Trump Administration’s trade policies were forthcoming. Canada’s Department of Finance released a list of products on April 15 that would not be subjected to retaliatory measures in response to US tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. It would reportedly affect up to CAD 110 million of imports, a small portion of the CAD 16.6 billion of US products covered by Canada’s counter-tariffs. The measure is intended to protect the competitiveness of Canadian businesses that would otherwise pay 25% tariffs on US imports.

In response to the US tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, the Government of Canada applied reciprocal countermeasures as of July 1st 2018 on imports of steel, aluminum and other goods from the US. But granted previous exemptions since the trade dispute began in 2018, when the Trump administration instituted tariffs on steel and aluminum. They came in response to requests made by Canadian companies.

The goods currently covered in Schedule 1, Schedule 2, Schedule 3 and Schedule 4 of the United States Surtax Remission Order are listed

For goods in Schedule 1, relief is granted for an indefinite period for steel and aluminum products imported from the US on or after July 1, 2018.

For goods in Schedule 2, relief is granted for a limited period from July 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019 for steel and aluminum products imported from the US.

For goods in Schedule 3, relief is granted for steel and aluminum products imported from the US. This relief is limited to specifically listed importers, for specified periods and subject to applicable conditions as prescribed in Schedule 3.

For goods in Schedule 4, relief is granted for an indefinite period for other goods imported from the US on or after July 1, 2018, subject to applicable conditions, as provided in the Remission Order.

The latest changes to Schedule 3 of the Remission Order were made pursuant to the Order Amending the United States Surtax Remission Order, No. 2019-1 and entered into force on April 15, 2019. The changes to Schedule 3 of the Remission Order are denoted in bold and consist of: amendments to items 5 to 12, 13, 15, 20 to 30, 32 to 68, 71, 78 to 89, 93 to 107, 109 to 120, 123, 124, 127, 128, 130 to 142, 144 to 200, 209 to 219; and the addition of items 220 to 314.

Algoma Steel could play substantial role in southern Ontario subway expansion - Mr Romano

Soo Today reported that during a Question Period, it was revealed that Sault Ste. Marie’s Algoma Steel Inc will likely be playing a very substantial role in the Government’s recently announced CAD 28.5 billion transit plan into subway infrastructure in the GTHA. An infrastructure investment of this nature will require a large quantity of quality steel, as well as many other materials to build. Specifically, there will be a need for high grade quality steel plate. Algoma Steel Inc. in Sault Ste. Marie is the only integrated steel manufacturer in the entire country that makes the type of steel plate that will be needed to complete this project.

Mr Romano during question period said that “Sault Ste Marie is home to Algoma Steel, a manufacturer of high quality, CITT certified plate, and we are all thinking that you are going to need a lot of steel to build those subways, and that is going to create a whole lot of jobs!.”

When asked by the Sault Ste. Marie MPP to expand on the potential opportunities this historic investment could provide to suppliers of steel, like Algoma Steel Inc., Ontario’s Minister of Transportation Jeff Yurek stated as follows: “Our government is going to need a lot of steel to build all the subways for the Scarborough, Sheppard, Yonge North, Eglinton West subway extensions and the much-needed Ontario Line,” responded Minister Yurek.

“The NDP may want Algoma Steel to not be involved in the process – they may want to shut it down…we need people like Algoma steel and all job creators to put their pencils down, sharpen them up, and be part of the RFP process so we can get the shovels in the ground as soon as possible. We are not giving up on Northern Ontario. We think it is a possibility if they bid right, if they participate in the RFP process, there are jobs, jobs, jobs for Northern Ontario It's well received news for anyone with ties to Sault Ste. Marie."

“I’m ecstatic,” said Romano. “A plan of this magnitude will provide a significant boost to the Soo’s economy by protecting and creating many jobs as well as creating great opportunities for the suppliers in many industries and sectors. It’s early days with many details to come forward, but this is an investment that will pay serious dividends for the people in northern Ontario for years to come.”

“We are encouraged by the Ontario Government’s commitment to invest in infrastructure. Subway lines and subway cars equals Canadian steel and Canadian jobs. At a time when the Canadian steel industry is under attack, we would welcome the chance to supply the steel plate,” said Mike McQuade, CEO of Algoma Steel Inc. With the federal government imposing the carbon tax, failing to lift steel tariffs and waging war on pipelines, our steel industry has faced significant challenges.

Metinvest group is Ukraine's first organisation to receive Vision Zero certificate

On 18 April, a business breakfast titled 'Zero Accident Strategy: Benefits and Opportunities for Business' took place in the run-up to the World Day For Safety and Health at Work. At the event, Metinvest Group CEO Yuriy Ryzhenkov received a Vision Zero certificate from Helmut Ehnes, Secretary General of International Section of the International Social Security Association (ISSA) on Prevention in the Mining Industry (ISSA Mining). Metinvest Group operates and builds its strategy in line with sustainable development principles. Occupational health and safety issues are among top priorities of the company. Metinvest is Ukraine's first organisation that has received international Vision Zero certificate. Now the Group is implementing a range of large-scale investment projects engaging both in-house employees and independent contractors. We conduct a wide H&S outreach campaign among them to prevent accidents at work.

ISSA presented the Vision ZERO campaign (Zero Accident) at the XXI World Congress on Safety and Health at Work in Singapore on 4 September 2017. The initiative is a ground-breaking approach to the entire organisational H&S system. Seven golden rules lie at the heart of the campaign that will help employers reduce occupational injury and morbidity rates. All the rules are flexible and suitable for organisations of any scale around the globe. These are ready-to-use tools to develop occupational health and safety strategy in any business.

Metinvest Group CEO Yuriy Ryzhenkov said "Human life is a key asset at Metinvest Group. As part of our business strategy, the company is improving and adopting the world's best practices to create safe working conditions at our plants. Our participation in the Vision Zero sets higher safety standards for us. We seek not only to meet legal requirements, but also to take additional measures to mitigate risks."

ISSA Secretary General Helmut Ehnes said "Our Association has developed a strategy to prevent workplace accidents. It is simple and includes seven rules. If an organisation cooperates with us, it adheres to the rules. We have a range of developments and tools, support workshops and lectures, as well as create networking and experience sharing opportunities within the organisation."

Worldsteel Director Dr Nae Hee Han blog on Short Range Outlook

Dr Nae Hee Han worldsteel Director, Economic Studies and Statistics said that our April 2018 Short Range Outlook was based on a rosy picture of the global economic environment, which turned somewhat sour in the third quarter of 2018. Two factors contributed to the worsening of the economic environment. First, the global economic cycle peaked during the course of 2018. Second, uncertainties have escalated with trade wars leading to financial market volatilities. Added to this, the world has been nervous about China’s slowdown. As a result, global economic institutions like the IMF and the OECD have continuously been revising downward their economic forecasts for 2018 and 2019.

As we move into 2019, the risks have not subsided, uncertainties remain elevated and trade tensions are still on top of the list along with China’s slowdown. The changes in IMF Global GDP forecasts from October 2017 to 2020. We can see that global GDP growth forecasts for 2018 and 2019 have been revised downward continuously since our October 2018 SRO reflecting the above factors. With this background, the results of our 2019 SRO come as no surprise. Our forecasts for growth of global steel demand in 2018 and 2019 have remained surprisingly stable with virtually no revisions since the April 2018 SRO, despite a rather dramatic turnaround in the economic sentiment mentioned above.

This is rather unexpected. Usually, steel demand fluctuates considerably around business cycles and is sensitive to business confidence, but it does not seem to be the case this time.

However, when we look at the details of revisions, we do see some upward and downward revisions. China’s steel demand forecast for 2019 was revised up by 1 percentage point on the account of stimulus measures, which was offset by a 1 percentage point downward revisions in the rest of the world.

But the downward revisions in the rest of the world come mostly from Turkey and the Middle East, which is accountable to region specific factors (i.e. currency crisis and oil price, respectively).

So, all in all, steel demand stood resilient to the economic downturn in many parts of the world. Later on in 2020, the growth is expected to accelerate in most emerging economies. So, it is true that due to China’s structural transformation, the global steel industry has moved to a slower growth pace, but the global steel industry can still count on the emerging economies to continue to drive growth in steel demand even in difficult times - particularly India and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

JSW open to sell steel on advance licence to export-oriented engineering companies

Business Line reported that JSW Steel has offered to supply steel to export-oriented engineering companies at the landed cost of imports without adding customs duty under the advance licence mechanism. Mr Seshagiri Rao, Joint Managing Director JSW Steel, said “There is enough schemes for exporting engineering companies to import steel without paying duty. He said that assuming they are facing difficulty in importing. The industry is willing to supply steel at the landed cost under advance licence.”

He added “In fact, he added engineering companies can source hot-rolled coil at a much cheaper price than importing, if the government reimburse import duty ranging INR 500-1,250 a tonne to steel companies.”

In a bid to incentivize export, the government allows exporting units to import raw material duty-free under the advance licence. While steel companies have been demanding the government to increase duty to prevent cheap imports, the Engineering Export Promotion Council recently voiced concern against the protectionist measure. In a presentation made to the Commerce Ministry opposing any hike in steel import duty, EEPC highlighted how steel prices have shot up in the past two years. This apart, it said the delivery period has increased to 4-6 months from just a few weeks ago, it claimed.

'Bod op Franse dochter Arcelor is klein bier'

ArcelorMittal 13:53
20,56 -0,48 (-2,28%)

AMSTERDAM (AFN/BLOOMBERG) - De eventuele verkoop van TrefilUnion door staalgigant ArcelorMittal zou zeer beperkte gevolgen hebben. Dat schrijft een analist van Société Générale, nadat de Duitse investeerder Mutares een bindend bod had gedaan op de dochteronderneming.

TrefilUnion maakt draden en staalkabels in twee fabrieken in Frankrijk. Het overnamebod is volgens Société Générale goed nieuws, maar amper van belang omdat het om kleine onderdelen gaat die bovendien niet bij de kernactiviteiten van ArcelorMittal horen.

ArcelorMittal stond dinsdagochtend omstreeks 11.05 uur 2,2 procent lager op 20,58 euro.

Nucor overtreft winstverwachting

Nucor
$ 56,99 0,00 0,00 % NYSE

(ABM FN-Dow Jones) Nucor heeft in het eerste kwartaal een hoger dan verwachte nettowinst gerealiseerd. Dat maakte het Amerikaanse staalconcern dinsdag bekend.

De winst per aandeel bedroeg 502 miljoen dollar, of 1,63 dollar per aandeel tegen 354 miljoen dollar of 1,10 dollar per aandeel een jaar eerder. De verwachting was 1,50 dollar per aandeel.

"Ons gediversifieerde bedrijfsmodel helpt ons opnieuw om een aanzienlijke verbetering van de winst in het eerste kwartaal te realiseren op jaarbasis", stelde CEO John Ferriola.
Het bedrijf blijft werken aan groeiende winst en hogere marges, door nieuwe projecten te starten, maar kijkt ook naar overnames voor meer winstgevende groei. "We zullen gedisciplineerd en opportunistisch blijven."

De omzet was met 6,1 miljard dollar 10 procent hoger dan een jaar eerder. De gemiddelde verkoopprijs per ton steeg met 13 procent op jaarbasis, maar was 4 procent lager dan in het vierde kwartaal van 2018.

Outlook

Voor het tweede kwartaal voorziet het bedrijf uit Charlotte in de staat North Carolina een vergelijkbaar resultaat als in het eerste, afgezien van een boekwinst van 34 miljoen dollar op een verkochte investering in het ruwe-grondstoffensegment.

Zwakkere marges voor plaatstaal zullen compenseren voor hogere marges voor ijzerstaven. De ruwe grondstoffen zullen het minder goed doen door margedruk.

GMS Market Commentary on Shipbreaking in Bangladesh in Week 16 - BULLISH ON BUYING!

Capes and containers keep flowing into a bullish Bangladeshi market and despite logical expectations concerning the performance of this market over the recent past, there seems to be no sign of things slowing down any time soon for the hungry Chattogram Buyers, despite their voluminous imports through the first quarter. There is of course the budget date of June 5th to keep in mind as end Buyers are primarily looking to import vessels before this date, as increased taxes / duties on the domestic steel sector are expected in this latest announcement, something that has historically been a regular suspicion before the announcement of every subcontinent budget.

There is also a strong desire to import vessels negotiated before the monsoon season starts towards the end of May / start of June, when the constant rains hamper the pace of cutting activities and most of the seasonal labor returns to their home towns during these slower months.

Yet, local port position remains a busy affair as a healthy majority of arrivals into Chattogram that were beached last week, only to be replaced by an equivalent fresh batch of arrivals this week.

As such, the future performance of the Bangladeshi market remains an opaque gaze of uncertainty and potential surprises at the same time, given that their voluminous imports have thus far seemed to unfaze this market, despite local yards being continually stuffed with deliveries through much of this year.
