Background

The terminal began operations in 1997. It has throughput capacity of 12 million tonnes per annum.[3][4] The port is capable of handling 200,000 DWT coal bulk carriers.[5] IBT provides services for coal and fuel handling at its Pulau Laut terminal.[4]

In 2008 IBT entered into a BOOT (Build-Own-Operate-Transfer) agreement with Shell to develop a fuel storage and distribution center at the terminal. The operation is managed by Shell.[6] Shell's fuel terminal became operational in August 2010.[7]

For the Adaro Group, IBT is a high capacity back up for Taboneo transshipment operations and a location for sourcing fuel, which is essential for the group’s pit-to-power integrated operations. Although it was positioned to prioritize companies within the Adaro Group, IBT will also utilize its capacity and capitalize on its experience by expanding third-party relationships, especially the coal miners of the central, south and southeast regions of Kalimantan Island, for whom IBT’s location and its comprehensive facilities are most strategic. Since 2015, IBT has been maintaining a strategic alliance with Pertamina, a prominent state oil company, which has been using IBT as a facility for blending biodiesel.[4]

An industry report referred to 15.3 million tonnes of coal exported abroad from Pulau Laut coal terminal, it is assumed that this is jointly from the North Pulau Laut terminal as well as from the (South) Pulau Laut Coal Terminal.[8] However the same industry source for 2023 did not mention any volumes from Pulau Laut coal terminals.[9]
