Brand new 350 tonne torpedo caught leaving the Central Engineering Workshop. It is now busy at work transporting hot metal at a temperature of 1300 degrees C!
The first shipment in four years to use the channel tunnel to transport steel from the UK to Mainland Europe, has been a roaring success. Presenting environmental, and cost saving benefits.
A new 30 MW turbine is replacing three, older steam turbines in Port Talbot, and will produce more than a quarter of the electricity needed for the entire site. This will help us reach our 2050 carbon neutral target

Tata Steel and the UK Government jointly agree on a proposal for the largest investment in the UK steel industry for decades.
The proposal lays the decarbonisation pathway towards globally competitive and sustainable steel making in Port Talbot, UK.
"A modern industrial economy that doesn't have steelmaking capacity is an economy that has a hole in the heart of it."
