OREANDA-NEWS. September 21, 2010. Donetskstal Group, the owner of Yasynivka Coke, is negotiating with US Steel for coke supplies. The supplies are to be made to USS steel mills in Serbia and Slovakia with overall coke needs of 1.2MT p.a.

Millennium Capital: the news is POSITIVE for YASK UK. Mariupol Illich Steelworks, previously the major customer of YASK, switched to AVDK coke supplies in July, following the merger with Metinvest. MMKI was leasing two out of three YASK coke batteries with the coking capacity of 1.4MT p.a. out of YASK total 1.83MT, so now YASK is looking for the new consumers for its premium coke in the face of US Steel.
