Balikpapan Coal Terminal (BCT) is one of the largest coal terminals in Indonesia located in East Kalimantan province and is owned by PT Bayan Resources Tbk.
Location
Background
BCT has a handling throughput capacity of 15.0 million tonnes and a stockpiling capacity of approximately one million tonnes across 16 stockpiles. Since commencing operations in 1995, BCT has handled more than 55.0 million tonnes of coal and loaded more than 1,000 vessels. In 2007, PT Bayan Resources completed the expansion of BCT, increasing annual throughput capacity by an additional six million tonnes to its current 15 million tonnes per annum.[1]
The port is capable of handling 60,000 DWT coal bulk carriers.[2] It also has a loading facility with a capacity of 4,000 tons per hour. With a computerized system to store coal, BCT mixes coal from 4 stockpiles.[3]
As of 2018, the terminal was active.[4] BCT's capacity is 24 million tonnes per annum.[5] According to the 2022 Annual Report of PT Bayan Resources, BCT achieved its highest ever handling volume of 22 million tonnes shipped in 2022, 3.4% over the previous record set in 2021. This increase was largely attributable to the increase in coal tonnages being received from the Tabang Project Coal Mines. [5] In 2023, the terminal loaded 25.5 million tonnes of coal, again largely attributable to the increase in coal tonnages being received from the Tabang coal mines.[6]
Expansion
In July 2014 it was reported that Indonesia planned to build 14 dedicated coal terminals on the islands of Kalimantan and Sumatra in a bid to curb illegal coal exports. One of the proposed locations was Balikpapan (where a new terminal would be added as an addition to the existing terminal). However the government was finding it difficult to obtain private funding for the terminals in the current environment of depressed coal prices.[7]
In its 2022 Annual Report, PT Bayan Resources Tbk stated that it has completed the majority of the design work and commenced ordering several of the major components for the Phase 5 expansion of the BCT. Phase 5 expansion will increase the throughput capacity to more than 40 million MT per annum, making it the largest coal terminal in Indonesia.[5][8] The company's 2023 annual report stated that the Phase 5 expansion of the BCT will be completed in early 2025. When completed, the terminal will have 2 shipping berths each with 2 x 4000 MT/hour shiploaders, 12 unloading grab cranes and 20 stiokpiles of combined capacity of approximately 1.5 Mt. The terminal was now said to be able to handle 45+ million tonnes of coal per annum.[6]
