Egyptian Hadisolb is troubled by tight coke supply

The Egyptian local steel mill Hadisolb, producing carbon steel long and flat products, is running at just 30% capacity at the moment, as SteelOrbis is told. The mill is experiencing some difficulties in finding metallurgical coke both domestically and internationally. It is reported that Hadisolb's domestic coke supplier has problems in coking coal supply as well. It is speculated that Riva's sudden need for metallurgical coke is drying up the market as Taranto can take vessels of up to 200'000mt at the time resulting in higher FOB returns for all metallurgical coke and coking coal exporters.
