Deskripsi Perusahaan / Kelembagaan
PT Adaro Logistics is a subsidiary of Adaro Energy Group which implement integrated supply chain system to transport coal from pit to port or direct to the customers, including coal terminal activities and Taboneo Floating Terminal in Banjarmasin - South Kalimantan.
The Adaro Logistics segment, led by PT Adaro Logistics (AL), supports the Adaro Group’s vertically integrated operations to maintain operational excellence and supply reliability by ensuring that coal arrives at the customers’ locations according to the agreed schedule, specifications, and quality.
Adaro Logistics now has an extensive range of businesses from coal barging and ship loading, fuel transport and management, channel management, dredging, multi purpose terminal and stockpile management, stevedoring to dockyard operations.
PT Adaro Logistics
While most of the logistics operations are handled by its subsidiaries, in 2021, AL started its own operations by serving the Adaro Group companies with fuel handling and logistics services after acquiring four fuel tanks of 4,200-kiloliter capacity to be placed at KM 0 of Kelanis port and three fuel tanks of 4,400-kiloliter total capacity located at KM 73 of Adaro Indonesia’s hauling road.
In 2023, AL started to operate the fuel tank at Adaro Minerals Indonesia (AMI)’s hauling road and made a significant expansion in its business by starting the first barge-to-barge terminal operations in North Kelanis for AMI’s coal in July 2023. Barge-to-barge transfer is a mechanism to increase efficiency by transferring coal from a smaller barge of 5,000 dwt to a larger barge of 10,000 to 15,000 dwt.
Furthermore, to support the increased volumes of the companies within the Adaro Group, AL is in the process of developing the second barge-to-barge transfer facility in North Kelanis and two units of fuel tanks of 2,500 kiloliter capacity each in Kelanis.
AL’s integrated Fuel Supply Chain Team collaborates with HBI and IBT on strategic fuel procurement program. From these collaborations, AL contributed Rp51.6 billion cost savings to AEI.
PT Maritim Barito Perkasa (MBP)
MBP barges coal from its client’s ports of loading at Kelanis, Muara Tuhup, Teluk Timbau, Gandus, and Lematang to the mother vessels’ transshipment points at Taboneo and Muara Musi Banyuasin, or directly to customers’ ports of discharge all around Indonesia.
As at the end of 2023, its fleet consisted of 54 barges and 60 tugs, and three self-propelled barges (SPBs) with around 606,000 tonnes of carrying coal capacity and seven transshipment facilities comprising four floating cranes and three floating transfer units (FTU) of 222,000 tonnes per day throughput rate. In the same year, MBP expanded its fleet by starting the construction of 25 tugboats and 19 barges to serve barging at the upper and lower cycle for AMI, and Gandus and Lematang for MIP with estimated completion in 2025. The main purpose of this investment was to reduce chartered sets from third parties and thus increase operational cost efficiency.
In 2023, MBP barged 59.1 million tonnes of coal of the Adaro Group. Particularly for AMI, the barging operations faced major challenges of unpredictable water level compared to historical trend. In order to increase the capacity efficiency, MBP modified one of its floating cranes to facilitate the barge-to-barge transfer for AMI’s coal at AL’s terminal in North Kelanis.
MBP will continue to capitalize the extensive experience of serving large-scale coal operations and operating stronger barging fleet that can withstand rough weather conditions for both sister companies and third parties.
PT Harapan Bahtera Internusa (HBI)
Ship Administration and Management Services (SAMS) - At AI’s Kelanis Dedicated Coal Terminal, HBI performs various shipping administration tasks such as scheduling barges’ in-and-out movements, coal-loading activities and berthing-and-unberthing of barges and assist-tug services. In 2023, HBI recorded 4,629 calls of SAMS volume, or increased 5% y-o-y due to the increased in transported volume.
Fuel Barging - HBI also operates 3 (three) units of fuel oil transportation barges (FOTB) and 3 (three) units of self-propelled oil barges (SPOB) to serve fuel transportation of the Adaro Group companies. In 2023, HBI barged a total of 651 million liters of fuel.
PT Indonesia Multi Purpose Terminal (IMPT)
After obtaining the concession from the Port Authority of Banjarmasin on September 15, 2018 for the right to carry out commercial operations at Taboneo, on May 10, 2019, IMPT officially commenced operations to handle port control and vessel placements in coal transshipment area by separating vessels based on sizes, such as Handymax, Panamax, and Capesize.
IMPT’s officer places vessels at well-defined vessel loading points and monitors all activities performed on the vessels, including stevedoring activities. All offshore loading operations are managed and monitored from a floating command center equipped with adequate satellite communications and GPS tracking systems, to achieve a quick turnaround time from arrival to departure. The tracking and monitoring activities have been improved by installing a land-based radar to ensure proper operations of vessel placements.
In carrying out these activities, IMPT prioritizes the port’s safety and security as guided by the environmental impact license and a certificate of compliance with the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code it has maintained since 2015. As a result, these activities have significantly enhanced the safety of vessel navigation into and out of Taboneo and the transshipment process at the port. Out of the revenue generated from the port services at Taboneo, IMPT pays a concession fee to the government. In 2023, IMPT contributed Rp3.6 billion non-tax revenue, or increased by 15.2% from Rp3.2 billion in 2022.
PT Indonesia Bulk Terminal (IBT)
IBT provides services for coal and fuel handling at its Pulau Laut terminal at the southeastern coast of South Kalimantan. The coal handling services include coal ship-loading, temporary stockpiling, and coal blending services. IBT’s customers can purchase coal from the most economical sources and get IBT to blend the coals according to their requirements to reduce production costs. IBT also offers facilities that can load vessels of up to 80,000 dwt in less than two days and an annual throughput capacity of 12 million tons, added with a feature that can help to detect and separate metal contaminants in coal before it is loaded to vessels.
For fuel handling services, IBT is equipped with four fuel tanks of 80,000-kiloliter total storage capacity, in-line blending for blending fuel and FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) and two jetties with loading capacity of 1.5 million kiloliters/year.
For the Adaro Group, IBT is a high capacity back up for Taboneo transshipment operations and a location for sourcing fuel, which is essential for the group’s pit-topower integrated operations. Although it was positioned to prioritize companies within the Adaro Group, IBT will also utilize its capacity and capitalize on its experience by expanding third-party relationships, especially the coal miners of the central, south and southeast regions of Kalimantan Island, for whom IBT’s location and its comprehensive facilities are most strategic. Since 2015, IBT has been maintaining a strategic alliance with Pertamina, a prominent state oil company, which has been using IBT as a facility for blending biodiesel.
PT Sarana Daya Mandiri (SDM)
SDM started to operate in 2008 by working on a capital dredging project at the Barito River channel to make the channel navigable for two-way traffic 24/7 from January 1, 2009. Since then, SDM has maintained the width and depth of the 15-km channel through regular dredging to keep it safe for navigation. For proper monitoring and control of the traffic and navigational safety, SDM ensures that its surveillance equipment is at operable condition at all times.
The Barito channel has recorded a steady increase in traffic over the years. The cargo volume passing through the channel in 2023 totaled 142 million tonnes, or 12% higher than 2022. This increase was attributable to the increase in the third-party cargoes. With the capacity of accommodating up to 200 million tonnes of coal per year, the channel still has ample room to accommodate higher volumes.
PT Puradika Bongkar Muat Makmur (PBMM) PBMM offers cargo stevedoring services to ensure safe loading activities using proper procedure and equipment, with operations commencing at Taboneo in July 2013 and at Kelanis in the 3rd quarter of 2017. In 2023, PBMM recorded 49 million tonnes of stevedoring tonnages at Taboneo.
PBMM has a captive market from the extensive shipping operations of the Adaro Group in addition to benefitting from the transshipment activities at Taboneo organized by its sister company IMPT. In 2023, PBMM’s volume increased significantly due to the significant increase of coal volumes of its affiliated companies within the Adaro Group. Therefore, PBMM spared most of the capacity for the Adaro Group.
PT Barito Galangan Nusantara (BGN)
PT Barito Galangan Nusantara (BGN), AL’s subsidiary operating a dockyard on the Barito River plays an important role to secure reliable maintenance facilities that can readily provide the service by fitting into the barges’ schedules and requirements to ensure smooth operations and avoid costly logistics disruptions due to barge breakdowns.
BGN has been upgraded to meet the desired quality standards and accommodate larger barges and scale of operations. In 2023, BGN continued its focus on facility upgrading and expansion activities, consisting of developing additional slipways (for tug boats and barges), upgrading dockyard’s facilities, utilizing available slipways, enhancing manpower’s skills and competencies, and implementing the Adaro Group’s applicable standards of safety.
