现代钢铁公司因遭到反对而暂停浦项工厂关闭计划
Hyundai Steel pauses Pohang plant closure amid opposition
Kallanish（开阑商务信息咨询）获悉，在政府和工会的强烈反对下，韩国钢铁制造商现代钢铁公司已暂时停止关闭浦项第二工厂的计划。
South Korean steelmaker Hyundai Steel has temporarily suspended plans to shut down operations at its Pohang No.2 plant, in response to significant opposition from the government and labour unions, Kallanish notes.
这一决定使现代钢铁公司目前面临的经营挑战变得更加复杂，该公司强调将继续进行谈判，以确保就业稳定。
This decision has added complexity to Hyundai Steel's ongoing operational challenges, with the company emphasising its commitment to ongoing negotiations aimed at ensuring employment stability.
浦项工厂的粗钢年产能为100万吨，建筑用小型型钢轧制能力为70万吨，在2024年期间，其产能利用率仅为10-20%。
Its Pohang facility, which has an annual crude steel capacity of one million tonnes and a small sections steel rolling capacity of 700,000t for construction use, has been operating at 10-20% of its capacity during 2024.
据当地媒体Aju News报道，该厂的钢产量从2022年的68万吨下降到今年的51万吨，轧材产量从39万吨下降到23万吨。同时，运行天数从304天降至228天。因此，制造成本从每吨99万韩元（732美元）增加到113万韩元。
According to local media Aju News, the plant's steel production has declined from 680,000t in 2022 to just 510,000t this year, and rolling output has dropped from 390,000t to 230,000t. Meanwhile, the number of operating days has fallen from 304 days to 228 days. Manufacturing costs have therefore increased from KRW 990,000/t ($732) to KRW 1.13 million.
业绩不佳的主要原因是中国钢铁制造商采取激进的定价策略，为应对中国国内房地产行业的低迷需求，以低成本产品充斥市场。这直接影响到包括现代钢铁公司在内的韩国钢铁生产商，导致他们面临的困难加剧。
The poor performance is largely attributed to the aggressive pricing strategies of Chinese steelmakers, who have flooded the market with low-cost products in response to sluggish demand in China's domestic real estate sector. This has directly impacted South Korean steel producers, including Hyundai Steel, and exacerbated the difficulties they face.
此外，现代钢铁公司还指出，持续的经济衰退进一步削弱了韩国建筑业的表现，而建筑业一直是钢铁产品的主要消费领域。
Additionally, Hyundai Steel noted that the ongoing economic recession has further weakened the performance of South Korea's construction sector, which has been a key consumer of steel products.
面对这些挑战，现代钢铁公司正致力于通过满足对高附加值钢铁产品日益增长的需求和开发减碳解决方案来提高竞争力。
In response to these challenges, Hyundai Steel is focusing on boosting its competitiveness by meeting the growing demand for high-value-added steel products and developing carbon-reducing solutions.
浦项市市长上周召开紧急会议，讨论钢铁行业面临的持续挑战及解决方案。市长还于11月寻求国会支持，主张采取措施帮助韩国钢铁制造商应对当前危机。这些措施包括为中小企业提供补贴、降低工业用电价格以及加快处理反倾销案件。
Meanwhile, the mayor of Pohang convened an emergency meeting last week to address the ongoing challenges facing the steel industry and discuss solutions. The mayor also visited the National Assembly in November to seek support, advocating for measures to help South Korean steelmakers navigate the current crisis. These include subsidies for small and medium-sized enterprises, reductions in industrial electricity prices, and expedited handling of anti-dumping cases.
