US Steel Gary Up to 3 Blast Furnaces
Written by John Packard
Steel Market Update has been carefully watching the progress of iron ore shipments to U.S. Steel Gary Works. Earlier this month, US Steel reported the curtailment of steelmaking operations at the Gary Works plant. The Gary steel mill is the largest production facility for US Steel with four blast furnaces and two BOP’s with three vessels which, when running to capacity, are capable of producing approximately 9 million tons of flat rolled steel on an annual basis.
When we last reported on US Steel operations, the Gary Works facility was known to have two furnaces running at that time at reduced rates as iron ore receipts were still less than desirable.
