L'Usine Nouvelle has reported that ArcelorMittal will restart 2 million tonne per year Fos-sur-Mer Blast Furnace 2 in France in April. ArcelorMittal had blanked blast furnace 2 at Fos-sur-Mer plant in December due to high energy costs, large volume of imports and sluggish demand and prices. But steel prices have recovered since December, with mills extending lead times, with many now offering May deliveries.
