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 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.
