British Steel explosions will continue to run with the delivery of enough raw materials to keep them on during the “next week” that is due on Tuesday, the government said.
The coal and iron mineral of the United States will be discharged at the Immingham docks and transported to the Scunthorpe site after a fight for supplies.
A separate shipping of materials is back to the United Kingdom from Australia after a legal dispute over who owned the burden was resolved between the government and the owner of British Steel, Jingye.
The Government took control of the business during the weekend after a collapse in the conversations with its Chinese owner in the midst of accusations that it planned to turn off the furnaces.
If the furnaces were hungry for fuel and left, the United Kingdom would no longer have the ability to produce the so -called virgin steel, because the process of restarting them is extremely difficult and expensive.
The manufacture of virgin steel implies that iron is extracted from its original source to be purified and treated to make all types of steel be used in important construction projects, such as new buildings and railways.
Scunthorpe ovens produce cast iron by dividing rocks that contain iron mineral into a chemical reaction that requires intense heat. Likewise, if the temperature of the ovens falls too low, it can cause permanent damage.
The government said that the materials of the United States would be enough to maintain the steel producing ovens in operation during the next weeks and that the aggregate officials were working to “obtain a constant pipeline of materials to maintain the burning fire.”
The materials have been paid by the government, but the cost has not been revealed. It is said that the plant, which uses 2,700 people, is in a “much better position” as a result of government intervention, cordination to union officials.
On Tuesday, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds will travel to Immingham in the Northeast of Lincolnshire, where raw materials will be downloaded and transported to British steel.
He said that the government “decisively” to ensure the raw materials necessary to “help save British steel,” and added that the United Kingdom industries depended on the company.
Beijing accused the British government of “commercial cooperation cooperation”, and said that his movement to take control of British steel had generated doubts about investment in the United Kingdom.
On Saturday, an emergency law was hurried by Parliament, giving the government control of the site to prevent Jingye from closing the furnaces against the wishes of the ministers.
The Government has designated two British long -standing steel employees to administer the plant interim.
The situation on the site has raised questions about Chinese investment in industries that the Government has considered strategically critical.
So far, the government has stopped bringing British steel to full public property, but nationalization has not proceeded, while seeking possible private investors to finance operations.
The Chinese embassy in the United Kingdom has urged ministers to negotiate with Jingye to “find an acceptable solution for all parties.”
In March, Jingye said his Scunthorpe site was losing £ 700,000 per day, which said that “it was no longer financially sustainable,” and the company gave a query on job cuts.
Government conversations with Jingye last week failed to produce an advance. The Government said the company had rejected a sacrifice of £ 500 million in public money to help keep the ovens in operation, and had demanded more than double with few guaranttesis that would maintain the open plant.
Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said “it became clear” for the government that Jingye intended to close the high furnaces regardless of the financial support offered, which caused the control of the site outside of its owner.
