The first phase of the project was completed and put into operation in July 2016.

The project targets South China and radiates outwards to Southeast Asia, meeting the market demand for medium and high-end carbon steel plate products. The project was designed to produce 8.23 million tons of molten iron, 8.93 million tons of molten steel and 6.89 million tons of steel per year. Its main products include hot rolled plates, cold rolled sheets, hot-dip galvanized plates and wide plates. It can also produce hot rolled high strength steel.

The project will strive to be simple, efficient and low-cost, promoting Zhanjiang Iron & Steel to become a modern, environmentally-sound and highly efficient international carbon steel base. It will be built into an eco-industrial park, as well as a demonstration area for the development of a circular economy, with clean production and efficient use of resources.
