INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT DECLARED HBA SUFFERED ANOTHER SETBACK IN SEPTEMBER

COALspot.com - The Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources of Indonesia revised down the coal bench mark price once again in September. HBA for the month of September sets at US$ 69.69 which 60 US cents lesser than last month HBA of US$ 70.29 per MT.  The declared Indonesian Coal Price Reference for this month is the lowest since November 2009.

The current Indonesian coal prices are almost reflecting its 2009 levels due to various reasons including excess output compared to low demand. Government of Indonesia is trying to introduce new regulations to eliminate illegal coal mining to control the unaccounted coal outputs. The export volume of Indonesian coal is still above around 32 - 35 million per month despite low coal prices. The government of Indonesia recently introduced ET-Batubara requirement to control coal export flow out of country. According to government's revised regulation, the new regulation will be in force starting from 1st October 2014.

However, September declared HBA is 10.92% or US$ 6.89 higher compared to May 2009 bench mark price of US$ 62.83 per MT, which was the lowest declared price in history of HBA. In the meantime the highest HBA was declared in February 2011 at US$ 127.05 per MT, which was US$ 57.36 per MT higher than this month declared HBA.

Indonesian coal benchmark price for September 2014 was calculated based on calorific value of 6,322 kcal/kg (GAR), stated to be using formula based on the August 2014 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 – 30 September 2014.

The government of Indonesia is 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 official implementation of HBA was commenced since September 2011. According to government regulation, the coal benchmark price must be used by the holders of production operation IUPs, special production operation IUP's, and CCoWs as a reference in determining the coal selling price for particular period.

The declared HBA of September 2014 was 9.36 per cent or $ 7.20 lower compared to the same period in year 2013. In the meantime, September 2014 HBA was US$ 57.36 or 45.15% lower compared to all time higher HBA which was declared in month of February 2011.

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

The price was only valid for the spot price (loading on or before 30 September 2014), 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 percent of the latest available month HPB, 30 per cent of one month prior HPB and 20 percent 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 65 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 fulfil 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.
