ArcelorMittal Dunkirk blast furnace restart works almost completed

Repair work on blast furnace No. 4 at ArcelorMittal's Dunkirk plant is nearing completion, the steelmaker said on 3 July.

ArcelorMittal Dunkirk blast furnace restart works almost completed

The company was aiming to restart the 3 million mt/year blast furnace at its plant in north-western France in the third week of June after it was shut down on 30 March due to an ignition fire.

Initially, ArcelorMittal had planned to restart the blast furnace at the end of May, but this date has also been postponed.

ArcelorMittal Dunkirk has three blast furnaces with a combined maximum output of 7 million mt/year. No. 4 is the largest. Blast furnace No. 3 can produce 1.5 million mt/year and was recently restarted after idling since mid-September 2022.

In Gijon, Spain, where the company suffered another fire in blast furnace A on 27 March, ArcelorMittal said on 27 June that it aims to restart the blast furnace near the end of the week from 2 July.
