Tanjung Bara Coal Terminal (TBCT) is a coal port located in north Samarinda, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. It is owned by Kaltim Prima Coal and has been operational since 1991.[1]
Location
Tanjung Bara is located on the island of Kalimantan near the village of Sangkimah, off Kutai National park, about 20 kilometres north of the towns of Bontang and Santan.[2] The 13km overland conveyor belt that transports coal from the mines to the terminal can be seen to the west of the terminal.
Background
The Indonesia government granted authorization to PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) to carry out exploration, production and marketing of coal in area of 90,938 hectares in Sangatta and Bengalon of East Kutai Regency in East Kalimantan Province. KPC’s Sangatta coal mine is close to the port facilities at Tanjung Bara, which is linked to the mine by an overland conveyor running 13 kilometers. The Bengalon coal mine is also close to the coast and is linked to Tanjung Bara by a 22 kilometers haul road. In 2013, KPC’s total coal production at the Sangatta and Bengalon mines reached 53.5 million tonnes, up 29.5% from 41.3 million tonnes in 2012.[3]
As of 2013, the terminal had handling capacity of 80,000 tonnes per day and capacity of 24 million tonnes per year.[4] The terminal's operations have expanded considerably reaching over 38 million tonnes in 2023.[5]
The Tanjung Bara Coal Terminal has the capability to directly load coal onto ships. It also has a barge-loading facility, which transfers coal to oceangoing vessels on the open sea using floating cranes. KPC also transports coal via the Lubuk Tutung Coal Terminal, which is located about 30 km north along the coastline.[6][7]
In 2022, the coal exported from the terminal reached 32.1 million tonnes.[8] In 2023, coal exports were 38.1 million tonnes.[5] Similar exports volumes were achieved during 8 months of 2024.[9]
Ownership
PT Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) was originally jointly owned by BP and Rio Tinto. Although BP and Rio Tinto’s Contract of Work required the companies to divest part of their holding to local interests, up until 2003 no Indonesian purchaser was able to raise the finance needed to buy them out. In mid-2003, the companies announced the sale of their holdings in KPC to PT Bumi Resources for a cash price of US$500 million, including assumed debt.[10] In 2007, Indian company Tata Power purchase 30% of KPC. In 2014, China Investment Corporation obtained 19% of KPC in a debt for equity swap with Bumi Resources. [11]
According to PT Bumi Resources 2022 Annual Report, PT Kaltim Prima Coal is 51% owned by PT Bumi Resources Tbk, 30% by Tata Power and 19% by Mountain Netherlands Investments BV.[12]
