PANJANG LAMPUNG INDONESIA (ISL News) - As an initial step for 2025, PTP Nonpetikemas Cabang Panjang has partnered with PT Baskhara Sinar Sakti (BSS) in a strategic partnership to handle coal loading activities that will be distributed to domestic and international markets. It is estimated that the potential annual capacity of this activity can reach 500,000 tons.
Anton Hartono, Branch Manager of PTP Nonpetikemas, Panjang Branch, stated that all facilities in this branch are ready to provide 24/7 service. To support coal loading activities, his party has prepared a barge berthing with a loading capacity of 7,000 to 10,000 tons at Piers B and C, with a ship draft of 7 to 9.5 LWS. Meanwhile, loading of export cargo via vessels with a capacity of 30,000 to 55,000 tons will be carried out at Pier D (Dry Bulk Terminal) with a ship draft of 11 to 12 LWS.
"PT Baskhara Sinar Sakti's coal shipments, which were previously carried out via land or train, were only able to transport around 3,000 tons at a fairly high cost. This time, PTP Nonpetikemas Cabang Panjang offers a solution by diverting shipments via sea. This allows for the transportation of up to 8,000 tons via barge and 55,000 tons via ship, which is certainly more efficient in terms of cost.
Not only providing ship berthing facilities, PTP Nonpetikemas Cabang Panjang also has a stockpile for coal commodities at Panjang Port. With a land area of 5 hectares and a capacity of 50,000 tons, this facility is equipped with 1 weighing unit. It is estimated that production at the stockpile managed by this branch will reach 500,000 tons by the end of 2025.
