Global steel giant ArcelorMittal has announced that it will supply over 40,000 mt of steel plates and coils from its European sites to the shipbuilder STX France in St Nazaire for the construction of the world's biggest cruise ship.
Coils produced at Fos-sur-Mer in France will be processed into sheets by ArcelorMittal's St Nazaire distribution solutions unit, which will then deliver them to STX France. The plates are being produced by ArcelorMittal Gijon in Spain and will be shipped to St Nazaire. Deliveries will start in September 2013, when construction of the hull will begin.
