INDO GOVERNMENT'S DECLARED HBA IN AUGUST '13 FALL TO LOWEST LEVEL SINCE JANUARY '10


COALspot. com - HBA fell to US$ 76.70  this month, the lowest since January 2010. Indonesian Coal Price Reference fell 6.11% and hitting a 2013 low.

The Indonesian government has revised down its owned coal bench mark price by US$ 4.99/ MT to US$ 76.70 for August 2013 deliveries on 2nd August 2013. The government declared bench-mark price for coal in August 2013 was the lowest in 2013 as well as the lowest since January 2010 or the lowest since full implementation of HBA which commenced since September 2011.

The monthly coal price reference for coal sales in August 2013 lost 6.11 per cent compared to last month. The Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources of Indonesia sets the coal’s spot price for August 2013 at US$ 76.70 per ton, US$ 4.99 lower than July 2013 bench mark Price.

This coal benchmark price was calculated based on calorific value of 6,322 kcal/kg (GAR), stated to be using formula based on the July 2013 index average of ICI-1 (Indonesia Coal Index) 25%, Platts-5900 25%, NEX (Newcastle Export Index) 25%, and GC (globalCoal Index) 25%.

Coal price reference was calculated considering coal with GCV (GAR) 6,322 kcal/kg, Total Moisture (arb) 8.00%, Total Sulphur 0.8% (arb), Ash Content 15 % (arb) and  delivery free on Board (FOB) Vessel basis and applicable for spot contract, delivery between 1 – 31 August 2013.

The government of Indonesia has been publishing a monthly coal price reference (HBA & HPB) since January 2009 to be used by coal producers for all spot and term contracts. However, the full official implementation of HBA has commenced since September 2011.


The August 2013 HBA is 9.39 per cent or $ 7.95 lower year on year.

February 2011 declared HBA was the highest since the launching of HBA by government of Indonesia (US$ 127.05 / MT) but lowest was declared in May 2009 (US$ 62.83/ MT).

The price was only valid for the spot price (loading on or before 31 August 2013), while as for term price (up to 12 months supplies), the average reference price (HPB) of the previous three months will be used to determine the selling price. (50% of the latest available month HPB,30% of one month prior HPB and 20% of two-month prior HPB).

Government also declared price marker for eight brands of Indonesia's coal, which are most commonly traded in the market. Those eight brands are acted as the benchmark and used to calculate other 63 coal types with a quality similar to the coal price markers.

For sales in the barge, the reference price is reduced by barging and trans-shipment costs from barge to vessel. Government has recently issued a regulation (644.K/30/DJB/2013 dated 21 March 2013) to regulate or determine coal prices on FOB barge.  Government also fixed the freight for barging, surveyor, insurance and etc.. to determine FOB barge price. Trans-shipment cost US$ 4.00/MT + Surveyor cost US$ 0.25/MT + Insurance 0.80% per shipment + Barging cost (for < 270 footer - (US$ 0.0221 X barging distance) + US$ 3.7406, for 270 - 330 footer - (US$ 0.0184 X barging distance) + US$ 3.1172 and > 330 footer - (US$ 0.0154 X barging distance) + US$ 2.6002.

The coal price reference is been established to fulfill the requirement of mining law 04/2009 and ministerial decree No.17/2010. In addition to that, it is aims to increase government revenue from royalties from coal producers.

Coal prices are still struggling to catch-up the right direction. Coal market was falling since mid of last year and not showing any immediate recovery. Excess coal supplies, instable coal demand, economy slowdowns are some of the reasons behind the pressure on coal prices.
