Zaporozhye Ferroalloys Plant likely to resume operation in March 2013
Zaporozhye Ferroalloys Plant, Ukraine’s No 2 ferroalloy producer, will probably resume operation by March following a 2.5 month shutdown.
ZFP was forced to shut operation in early December 2012, citing high power prices. The company later asked Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to intervene to make sure the company gets power price discount that had been earlier promised by the central government.
Mr. Oleh Bespalov, the governor of the Zaporozhye region, said ZFP would most likely resume operation by March. But he said it could do so even earlier if talks with National Commission for Power Regulation, a state power tariff regulating authority, and Anti-Monopoly Committee, were successful. (SteelGuru)

Overall ferroalloy output at ZFW rose by 71% to 197,100 tons. ZFW controls 30-35% of the Ukrainian market and exports ferroalloys to the CIS, EU, Asia and Africa. It imports concentrate from Ghana, Brazil, Australia, Russia and Poland in order to achieve the right chemical composition for ferroalloys.
PrivatBank controls ZFW and the Stakhanov Ferroalloy Plant, which bolstered output by 41.8% to 91,300 tons of 45%-ferrosilicon and by 200% to 55,200 tons of silicomanganese. Its overall ferroalloy production grew by 77.4% to 146,500 tons.
The country’s two manganese concentrate producers, the Ordzhonikidze and Marhanets mining and concentrating works, which PrivatBank also controls, produced 971,100 tons of concentrate between them in January to August, 88.4% more than they produced in the same period of last year.
The State Statistics Committee said Ukraine boosted manganese ore and concentrate exports 7.2-fold YoY in January to July 2010 and for $2.961 million (up by 8.5 times).
The country exported 26,136 tons to Romania for $2.71 million in the seven months, 1,963 tons to the Czech Republic for $16,800 and 1,379 tons to Russia for $83,600. (Interfax)

Ukrainian ferroalloy plants cutting output
Ukrainian Journal quoted UkrFA, ferroalloy maker association, as saying that Zaporozhye Ferro Alloys Plant, Ukraine No 2 ferroalloy producer, would probably suspend production of silicomanganese this month due to weak demand on world and domestic markets.
The association said the company, which currently operates at 25% of its capacity, has been gradually reducing output of ferroalloys during the past three months due to a seasonal drop in demand, but also due to high production costs.
In July this year the largest Ukrainian ferroalloy producer Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant decreased its production of manganese alloys by 10.74% as compared to June and by 19.3% compared to May to 71,929 tons. Another producer, Stakhanov Ferroalloy Plant, saw its July ferroalloy output fall by 15.7% as compared to June and by 28.35% as compared to May to 11,488 tons.
However, the worst situation is currently seen at Zaporozhye Ferro Alloys Plant, the output of which in July amounted to 11,842 tons, down by 37% as compared to June and down by 65% as compared to May this year. Currently, the plant produces at just a quarter of its production capacity.
In August Zaporozhye Ferr Alloys Plant was forced to halt its silicomanganese production and plans to produce only 11,000 tons of ferroalloys during the month. Meanwhile, Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant and Stakhanov Ferroalloy Plant also plan to cut their production in August to 67,000 tons and 11, 000 tons respectively.
UkrFA said that the main reasons for the current situation facing domestic producers are the complicated state of the world ferroalloy market, the seasonal decline in consumption, high production costs and the high volume of ferroalloy imports in Ukraine.
The ferroalloy producers noted that, in the current year as compared to the previous year, the cost of electricity has increased from $46 to $51 per 1,000 kilowatt-hours, while coke prices have gone up from $97 to $282 per dry metric ton.
Among other negative factors, UkrFA noted the Ukrainian government's abolition of preferential treatment for domestic mining and metallurgical companies, the increase in railway transportation tariffs, and non-payment of VAT refunds. (Ukrainian Journal)

ArcelorMittal Kriviy Rih to pay UAH 205.59 million to ZZF
It is reported that the Supreme Economic Court of Ukraine has approved the decisions of the courts of first and second instance for the legal collection of about of UAH 205.59 million from the Ukrainian steelmaker ArcelorMittal Kriviy Rih in favor of ferroalloys producer Zaporozhye Ferro Alloys Plant.
As SteelOrbis has previously reported, the amount in question is to be paid to ZZF as prepayment for ferroalloy deliveries, which, according to ZZF, were originally to be acquired by ArcelorMittal Kriviy Rih in the fourth quarter of 2008. ArcelorMittal Kriviy Rih intends to appeal this latest decision at the Supreme Court of Ukraine.

ArcelorMittal Kriviy Rih and ZZF dispute over ferroalloy deliveries
The Ukrainian steelmaker ArcelorMittal Kriviy Rih announced that its refusal to prolong a contract for ferroalloy deliveries in the context of its reduced production rates has led its main ferroalloys supplier Zaporozhye Ferro Alloys Plant to take an action for the legal collection of about UAH 205.59 million from the company for pre payment for future ferroalloy deliveries as ZZF insists on prolongation of the contractual partnership.
On July 15th 2009, the court of first instance in the Dnepropetrovsk region satisfied the stated claims in relation to payment of these funds in favor of ZZF.
However, alleging that judgment was accepted with gross violation of Ukrainian laws and improper use of material and legal practice of Ukraine, ArcelorMittal Kriviy Rih has appealed to the Dnepropetrovsk economic court relating to the right of ZZF to continue deliveries to the enterprise in conditions of validity of force majeure circumstances, ie the global economic crisis.
ArcelorMittal Kriviy Rih halted purchases of ferroalloys from ZZF in the last quarter of 2008 citing the significant reduction of its production rates. (SteelOrbis)
