COKAL SIGNS JV WITH MDM, FOR BARITO RIVER BARGING
 COALspot.com - Cokal Limited (ASX: CKA) has announced that it has entered into a 50:50 Joint Venture (JV) with Meratus Advance Maritime (MDM) one of the leading Indonesian shipping company providing point-to-point transportation solutions to transport coking coal from BBM mine. The JV will own and manage the shallow river barges and tugs design specifically for PT Bumi Barito Mineral (BBM).
According to company's website, the Bumi Barito Mineral (BBM) is a PMA company with an ownership structure of 60% Cokal and 40% Indonesian owners. The mine covers an area of ~19,400ha and is immediately adjacent to BHPBilliton's Juloi tenement, straddling the Barito River. The low ash coking coal will be produced from shallow opencut mining extraction using trucks and shovels. The coal will travel ~700 kilometres down the Barito River using river barging techniques tried and proven on similar rivers in many countries including the USA and Brazil.
MDM is part of the Meratus Group which has operated in Indonesian shipping since 1957 and has provided barging and shipping services to a number of the major Kalimantan coal operations. MDM have also worked on the Barito River over a number of years. The Barito is a major coal barging river on which BBM is located.
The JV is an accumulation of almost 2 years of studies into river based shallow draft barging systems which have confirmed its effectiveness on the Barito River. While shallow draft barging systems are used extensively worldwide the system has not been used in Indonesia to date, the note from company says.
Recently the BBM’s river barging solution moved to the next phase and US Naval Architects were retained to do detailed design for contract tenders to be issued. This is scheduled for completion in third quarter 2013. MDM’s practical input and detail knowledge of barging on the Barito has been invaluable in this phase.
Cokal’s Chairman and CEO Mr Peter Lynch said “this strategic partnership enables MDM to bring the experience and knowhow necessary to ensure the success of river barging on the Barito River, and for Cokal to be a part of controlling the critical part of its supply chain. This is a significant achievement for Cokal as we draw closer to the commencement of our coking coal production in a mid 2014”.
