Tarahan Coal Port is an Indonesian coal terminal located in Lampung, Sumatra.
In 2015 the port was expanded to load up to 25 million tonnes of coal per year, increasing it from the previous capacity of 13.5 million tonnes.[1] An expansion to expand the port's capacity by an additional 20 million tonnes per year has been proposed.
Location
Background
The port handles coal from Indonesia's Tanjung Enim mine[2][3] and Ombilin mine.[4]
In June 2015 a new US$152 million coal terminal owned by state-controlled coal miner Tambang Batubara Bukit Asam (Bukit Asam) was inaugurated at the port. The Tarahan coal terminal expanded the port's facilities to accommodate ships at a maximum capacity of 210,000 dead-weight tonnage (DWT), from the previous 80,000 DWT. The maximum capacity of the terminal is scheduled to be enlarged to 240,000 DWT. Bukit Asam now operates three quaysides at the Tarahan port.[5]
In 2020, the Tarahan Coal received from the company's mines 18 million tonnes of coal, down from 20 million in 2019. Coal from the Tarahan Coal Port is used in the Tarahan power station and the Banten Suralaya power station as well as exported.[6] In 2022, the volume of coal transported from the mines to Tarahan was recorded at 23.4 million tons, an increase of 16.74%, compared to 2021 at 20 million tons.[6] Another industry source referred to international coal exports from the port at 8 million tonnes in 2022.[7]
Proposed Expansion
In February 2020, PT Bukit Asam announced that it would build a 20 million metric tonnes per annum (mtpa) expansion at the Tarahan Coal Port, bringing total capacity at the port to 45 million mtpa. The expansion was targeted for completion in 2024.[8]
As of November 2023, there were no news on the expansion of the Tarahan Coal Port, however there were news that PT Bukit Asam is collaborating with PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) to build the Kramasan coal unloading terminal with capacity of 20 million tonnes. The development of the Kramasan termnnal will support PT Bukit Asam's efforts to increase production.[9]
It is possible that this project superseded the initial plans add capacity at Tarahan. In the absence of other news on Tarahan's expansion, the project is considered Shelved.
