Rusal, a leading global aluminium producer, announced operating results for the fourth quarter of 2018 and for the 12 months ended 31 December 2018.
In the fourth quarter of 2018, total alumina production decreased by 2.1 per cent quarter-on-quarter. Alumina production stood at 1,958 thousand tonnes. The company said Russian alumina operations accounted for 34 per cent of the total output. The performance of Rusal’s alumina assets was largely in line with the production plan.
Rusal said overall alumina production in 2018 remained similar to 2017. The company produced 7,774 thousand tonnes of alumina last year.
“In June 2018 the Company restarted operation of the Friguia alumina refinery in Guinea. As a result, despite various factors, including abnormal weather conditions that affected the operational performance of Windalco capacities, overall alumina production in 12M18 remained similar to 12M17, at 7,774 thousand tonnes, Rusal said.
