Muara Sabak coal anchorage is an offshore anchorage used for coal exports from the Jambi Province of Sumatra, Indonesia.[1] At this location, barges loaded with coal in Jambi transfer their cargo to oceangoing vessels using floating cranes or other technology.
Location
Background
According to an industry report, Muara Sabak anchorage exported 5.9 million tonnes of coal in 2022. However no data was presented for 2023 by the same source.[2][3]
Proposed coal terminal
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 Jambi. However the government was finding it difficult to obtain private funding for the terminals in the current environment of depressed coal prices.[4] As of September 2021, there has been no update on this proposal.
