indo coal

Indonesias coal is superior in quality than coal from many other countries such as Australia. It has lower content of sulphur. Bituminous coal is the main type of coal exported by Indonesia. Indonesia's coal had lower caloric value compared to other countries but lower sulfur and ash content, desirable qualities for power plants. Indonesia is the world's second-largest exporter of thermal coal, which is used in power plants, and the fifth-largest exporter of ordinary coal, which is a lower grade used by steel plants.Some 70 percent of the 131 million tons of coal produced last year was exported to Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand, Philippine, South Korea, India and China. The demand for Indonesian coal from China alone is projected to increase by 18 percent over the next five years, while demand from India is expected to surge 16 % for the same period. Our joint operating & marketing coal mines are located in the mineral rich province of South Kalimantan (Indonesia) and East Kalimantan. We supplying highly competitive coal products with a high reactivity and excellent combustion characteristics.The coal mine uses semi - mechanized where partially manually while the major part of the activities are mechanical selected for our specific mining conditions and the climate at the mine. System of mining is drilling, excavation, breaking and sizing. Quality control is given top most priority by systematic mining and working for suitable blend to maintain coal grade as per customer requirements.Coal is trucked from the mine at district of Tanah Bumbu, Jorong and Batulicin of South Kalimantan (Indonesia). - It will be amass onto stockyard facilities for barge loading at Cienko, BAC, SBT and Lianganggang near Kintap, Sungai Danau and Batulicin. Distance from mines to stockpiles onto barge loading facility have a distance of less than 75 kilometers, on a road to a river capable of handling 10,000 metric ton barges which transport the coal to the loading open sea anchorage near Tanjung Pemancingan, Tanjung Petang, Pandansari or Muara Satui.At the river trans-loading facility, the coal is crushed and loaded onto barges for shipment downriver to the ship loading facilities. Trans-loading the coal into a vessel, off-shore Kalimantan, Indonesia, where vessels of up to 120,000 DWT can be loaded. Vessels can also be loaded at a new public bulk port and coal storage terminal at Pulau Laut, Indonesia which is currently capable of loading vessels up to 80,000 DWT.

Indonesias coal reserves are mainly located in Sumatra and Kalimantan.
