Global steel giant ArcelorMittal has announced that it has supplied the French cruise shipbuilder STX France with 35,000 tons of steel to be used in the bridges and the hull of MSC Cruises’ first ship of its new Meraviglia Class.
These products were entirely manufactured in ArcelorMittal’s European plants: the plates are produced in Gijón (Spain) and the coils are manufactured in Fos-sur-Mer, then processed in Saint Nazaire.
ArcelorMittal has been STX France’s preferred steel supplier since 2013 and will also provide STX France plates and hot rolled sheets for the MSC Mergviglia’s sister ship, the MSC Bellissima which will debut in spring 2019.
