Global steel giant ArcelorMittal has confirmed that it has signed a contract for the supply of steel for two new cruise ships to be built by STX France at its shipyards in Saint-Nazaire, France. ArcelorMittal has already supplied steel for four ships built by STX France.
 
This new order for two ships will be 100 percent supplied by ArcelorMittal's European plants: the heavy steel plates that will form the ships' hulls are manufactured at ArcelorMittal's plant in Gijón (Spain), while the decks will be constructed using steel sheet supplied by the Saint-Nazaire facility from coils produced at Fos-sur-Mer (France).
 
The company stated that the initial deliveries of these products began in September and the ceremony for the cutting of the first plate was held at the STX France shipyard in St Nazaire on November 21, marking the commencement of construction of one of these two vessels. Deliveries of ArcelorMittal products for the two ships are scheduled through to the end of 2018.
