【Ferro-alloys.com】: Australian steelmaker BlueScope Steel has announced that the administrators of UK-based steelmaker Liberty Steel Group's
Whyalla steelworks in Australia have appointed BlueScope as a steelmaking advisor to the administrators.
The company will provide technical and operational support in an advisory capacity to the administrators as they seek to secure
ongoing operations at the steelworks. However, BlueScope is not committing any capital or other corporate support to the
administration process.
“We recognize the ongoing importance of Whyalla to the Australian economy. This is a difficult time for the steel industry in the Asia
Pacific region, but we are in a position to help. Accordingly, we will provide a team of experts from Port Kembla Steelworks to
assist the administrators' work through their process," Mark Vassella, CEO of BlueScope, said.
Liberty Steel restarted steel production at Whyalla in January, following a four-month shutdown due to operational challenges and
extensive repairs at the blast furnace.as SteelOrbis previously reported.
