Indian coal importers, particularly traders are importing Indonesian ultra-low calorific coal particularly from Sumatra and North Kalimantan for blending purpose with South African high calorific value coal, said a coal importer familiar with Indonesian and S/A coal. Indonesian ultra-low calorific value coal contains high total moisture.
International markets have traditionally been the principle destination for Indonesian thermal coal, with around 83.42%* (80.36%* in March 2014) of the county's total thermal coal exports in April 2014 shipped to China, India, South Korea, Japan & Taiwan.

Indonesia's export thermal coals are bituminous to sub-bituminous in rank with widely varying ash, moisture and sulphur characteristics. In Indonesia, coals with as-received heat contents in excess of 5300 kcal/kg (gar) are generally classified as bituminous coals while coals with as-received heat contents of 4100 to 5300 kcal/kg (gar) are classified as sub-bituminous coals and below 4100 kcal/kg (gar) coals are classified as sub-bituminous "C" grade.
Indonesian Coal Price Reference
According to the Indonesian mining law 4/2009, all coal miners in Indonesia to require to follows the government declared coal prices (HBA) when they conclude a coal sale and purchase contract with their buyers either on spot or terms. The Director General of Mineral and Coal’s declared the minimum selling price for Indonesian coal for May 2014 delivery was lower than April 2014 declared price.
The reference price is to be used by coal producers for all spot and term contracts.
This coal benchmark price is stated as using a formula based on the index average of ICI-1 (Indonesia Coal Index), Platts-5900, Newcastle Export Index, and global Coal Index. The assessment basis of the coal price reference was calculated considering coal with GCV 6,322kcal/kg (GAR), Total Moisture (AR) 8.00%, Total Sulphur 0.8% (AR), Ash Content 15% (AR) and delivery Free on Board (FOB) Vessel basis.
The government declared HBA for May 2014 was slipped 1.62% per cent month on month and 13.75% year on year (May 2013). The declared HBA for May 2014 was the lowest declared bench mark price since November 2009.
The Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources of Indonesia sets the coal’s spot price benchmark for May 2014 delivery at US$ 73.60 per ton (basis 6322 GAR coal), which was US$ 1.21 lesser than April 2014 price and US$ 11.73 lower compared to the same period in 2013.
Royalty Increase; Export Duty
According to available information, the Indonesian government is studying a proposal to increase royalty on coal for IUP holders as well as to introduce an export duty for coal.
The government also to impose new rules on shipments requiring miners to register themselves as exporters at the trade ministry and coal shipments will only be allowed through selected or approved ports. Government hops that; this restriction will help authorities to implement better monitoring system to eliminate illegal mining. According to media reports around 50 million tons coal being exported without clear approvals or licenses from relevant departments and which is causing losses to country in terms of taxes as well as royalties. Currently Indonesia is having hundred of barge loading ports and anchorage loading point to support coal loading in South, East and North Kalimantan as well as Sumatera Island.
According to local media reports, government has already identified the coal ports in Sumatera and Kalimantan. Domestic coal requirement is also expected to reach around 95.5 million tons in 2014 compared to around 65 million tons in 65 million. Indonesian Coal Industry executives are in the opinion that, increase of domestic requirements for coal this year and implementation of tough regulations and rules on coal exports will help to push the coal prices upwards.
Indonesia is to maintain the same level of coal output of 2013 for year 2014. According to media reports, Indonesia will produce around 421 million mt of coal in 2014 or the same volume that produced in 2013.
