Ukrainian steelmaker Metinvest gets coking coal from US
KYIV, April 8 (Reuters) - Ukrainian steelmaker Metinvest has received the first batch of U.S. coking coal aimed at compensating for the suspension of production at Ukraine's only coking coal mine, the company said on Tuesday.
The bulk carrier Bison delivered 80,000 metric tons of coal from Metinvest's U.S.-based United Coal Company, the company said in a statement.
"This shipment is aiming to support sustainable steelmaking operations of the Group in Ukraine following the suspension of operations at Pokrovsk Coal," Metinvest said.
It said the company was expecting to receive one vessel with 80,000 tons of U.S. coking coal per month "to cover some share of the demand at Zaporizhstal JV and Kamet Steel."
Metinvest has suspended operations at its coking coal mine in Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine, citing a deteriorating security situation as Russian forces advanced.
Ukraine still increased steel production in the first two months of 2025 despite the loss of coking coal from Pokrovsk, data from the Ukrainian steel producers' union showed last month.
