The raw materials needed to keep the blast furnaces running at British Steel's Scunthorpe plant will be delivered to the site today .

Two ships with iron ore and coking coal will arrive at the plant in Immingham , the government confirms.

The materials will be enough to keep furnaces in operation for weeks .

If the furnaces cool down too much, the molten iron solidifies and blocks them, making it difficult to restart.
