South Kalimantan coal miner PD Baramarta Located in Rantau Bakula, said its coal ouput reached 780,126 tons within July through September this year, about 5 percent increase compared to the same period last year.
“Coal sales volume in the third quarter is the same as the production,” a company official told. The firm’s production reached 618,859 tons in the previous quarter. Accumulative coal production until the end of September is 2.19 million tons. The company is now expecting only to produce a total of 3 million tons until the end of this year, down from the earlier target of 3.5 million tons due to prolonged rain at its site, the official said.
The company plans to produce around 3.5 million tons for next year, the official said. The official said that Baramarta has started coal trivial deliveries to state-owned electricity firm PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara’s (PLN) Paiton power plant in East Java. “ We have sent two barges with the capacity of 8,000 tons each. We expect to deliver ten barges during the trial shipment,” the official added.
Baramarta produces coal with CV content of around 6,500 Kcal/kg. The company sells its coal at its stockpile to traders PT Prima Multi minerals and PT Prima Multi Trada under long-term contracts that are renewed annually. The traders sell the coal to Asia Pasific market.
