Loving it getting rid of jobs money off government for them to make money then the check to go around the town and rub it in the faces serious joke I don't know why people and listening they are going to ruin port talbot

We must import an awful lot more steel and steel-containing products than we produce steel for domestic use and for export? It seems like there's no rational need for raw material import unless we're planning to become a major steel exporter? UK has the Variable Renewable Energy for it in offshore wind, including around Wales, but we need to get a move on with VRE-to-storage-to-energy if we want to do big industry again. I think we should.

I worked on 1/2/3 furnaces around 1970. Amazing stuff. All gone now.

Absolutely shocking and disgusting...3000 jobs going just to save Tata Money as they are still using coke world wide under the camouflaged of Greenwashing ...Going Green costs lobs and in this cause more poverty in Wales ...Of Course , the Crackpot Greens , mostly who have Independent incomes ( Politicians) are having orgasms over this . They see the unemployed steelworkers as heroes giving up well paid work to save the planet

I understand Tata is building new furnaces in India to cope with demand is that correct?

what about contractors??

Coke from chile 🎉

Just sad Sad it’s ending Sad the material was sourced from so far away We owe this place a huge debt of gratitude

Hold on, I thought the new Labour government were going to be our saviour, persuade Tata that there was another way. Or was that yet more pre-election lies? Anyone who thinks the freeport is the answer needs to do their homework, it's the capitalists dream, the working classes nightmare. So very sad, so very unnecessary.

Hopefully the old infrastructure may be turned into a museum complex, just like the Magna Science Centre at the old Steel Peech and Tozer steel mill near Sheffield.

Great informative video!

Way to go....let's do it together...

I worked on the UKD Bluefin a TSHD especially built to dredge the harbour.

I am so glad we are stopping steel making in the UK As when we import steel then it is zero emissions due to erm Reasons?

To be clear it's not 100% recycled steel.its about 70% depending on steel type i.e. rail,structural,rebar and so on.

That's a good thing but we don't the UK to import low grade sulphur steel from China to drive down the cost of UK made, world class steel

As a chemical engineer this is very sad. It'll be too expensive to replace should there be a change of plan in the future too hard to get planning permission back once its gone. I'm also watching Aberthaw get reduced to bare soil, equally sad. If all this is to "lead the way", all we are doing is showing that it is costing us dear. Its hardly going to result in everyone else copying us...🤔

You absolute criminals

Good video. Well explained Graham pal.

What about the silicon steels and IF s are you going to be able to make these . As for experience they will all have been made redundant according to my sources ?

Renationalise now TATA should be ashamed of themselves

A day to be proud of, you job cutting bastards

Sad day for these workers

Shame WW3 is looming ahead and you are closing the only thing that would turn ore into pig iron. Very soon general public would be asked to donate front garden iron fences to make ships Keep going

Could they not use the port for the importation of slabs until the arc furnace is operational??

Got to be honest, fed up off these sad day videos Tim.

Maybe we can start shipping additional scrap from other countries into the port, as well as our 12 million annual tonnes of scrap the UK produces

So shut the coke plant on site and bring the product from Chile and Japan, Same with the iron pellets from the US. CO2 elimination Green Washing at its worst. Nearly a crass as the 'carbon neutral' wood chips for Drax power station. Tata should be buying scrap steel today and filling those yards with it instead of exporting it to China, cos bet your bottom dollar when they strike up the new EAF the price of UK scrap will go through the roof.

Meanwhile china making thousands of coal powers

Great britan is doomed

Industrial Sabotage renationalise now

All the best for the future from Scunthorpe, looks like an interesting slab machine. I'm sure when it's all up and running the jobs will return

Another sad day for South Wales

Tata ❤❤❤❤

Blast furnaces don't make steel, are there any blast furnaces left making iron in the U.K. at all? If not where will we get it from?

Heavy end offline ? cessation its closing best of luck for the future ex LLanwern blast furnace electricion.

Look on the brightside gents, at least the plant has a future. Ravenscraig says hello. 😢

never open back up that place

I get EAF but at the expense of our Port Talbot brothers jobs and supporting industry. Another shambolic 40 years of mishandling the British steel industry - the best high quality, low sulphar steel in the world. A golden opportunity squandered by successive government's. Stand strong fellas 💪

I've been there, but not as close as this close to the converter!

core drill rig for sale. Please contact me if needed.

If it's technology driven why are they building brand new blast furnaces in Africa? I call bullshit

Very sad to see British jobs being destroyed by this net zero nonsense

Great video, the shear scale is incredible!

Blame the tories

Imagine there were no shareholders?

Yet they just opened a brand new mill in Africa using blast furnace

Will the decommissioning be timed so that the ferrous material from this can go into the new arc furnaces? Will it be destructively demolished and the rubble sifted for recycling, or will it be dismantled in situ for recycling? Can some of that brickwork or the refractory linings be saved? I found this interesting, would be pleased to see an update when there's some progress to share.

The salamander tap

Another taxpayer rip off
