FACTBOX-Indonesia's Coal Railway Projects
Reuters & Central Kalimantan Provincial Government, Bisnis Indonesia & Investor Daily, Thursday, 22 July 2010
Indonesia hopes to unleash the potential of its vast coking coal resources in central Kalimantan by building a number of large rail projects to transport the material to the coast.
Here is a list of proposed rail projects in Indonesia:
1. The Puruk Cahu-Bangkuang Coal Railway (Central Kalimantan)
A 185 kilometres long railway that will connect Puruk Cahu in inland Central Kalimantan province to a port on the coast.
The project, costing an estimated $2.2 billion, is the first of four railway projects planned for Central Kalimantan that will eventually stretch about 1,829 kms of rail line across the province to link coal mines and ports.
The province currently produces about 1.5 million tonnes of coal a year from 15 coal mining companies with total coal concessions of 527,444 hectares. Most of the mine in the province produce high grade coal with heating value over 7,000 air-dried basis.
2. PT Bukit Asam's railway project State-owned PT Tambang Batubara Bukit Asam Tbk <PTBA.JK> plans to develop a 307-kilometre rail line from Bukit Asam's coal mine in Central Banko in South Sumatra to a new port in Lampung province, on the southern tip of Sumatra island.
Bukit Asam owns a 10 percent stake in the $1.3 billion coal rail line project while Transpacific group, owned by Indonesian tycoon Peter Sondakh, owns an 80 percent interest. China Railway Engineering owns the remaining 10 percent.
The plan for the railway, which will have the capacity to transport 25 million tonnes of coal annually, was originally announced in 2007, but it was delayed because the government did not issue the necessary approval until October 2009.
3. Minerals Energy Commodities Holding
Previously known as Middle East Coal, MEC plans to invest $5.2 billion in an infrastructure project in East Kalimantan, Indonesia's top coal producing region, which includes a 140-kilometer railway, an alumina smelter and a 1,400 megawatt coal-fired power plant.
