INDONESIA RAISES COAL PRICE THIS MONTH


COALspot.com - The Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources of Indonesia has increased government declared coal bench mark price by US$ 1.59 / MT to US$ 81.90 for January 2014 deliveries on today.

The monthly coal price reference for coal sales in January 2014 gained 1.98 per cent compared to last month.

This coal benchmark price was calculated based on calorific value of 6,322 kcal/kg (GAR), stated to be using formula based on the November 2013 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 - 31 January 2014.

The government of Indonesia has been 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 has commenced since September 2011.



The declared January 2014 HBA was 6.45 per cent or $ 5.65 lower year on year. The lowest HBA in 2013 was declared in October (US$ 76.61) and the highest was declared in March '13 (US$ 90.09).

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 31 January 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% of the latest available month HPB, 30% of one month prior HPB and 20% 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 63 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 fulfill 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. The minister of Energy & Mineral Resources of Indonesia and the Parliament of Indonesia (Commission VII, which is overseeing ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources) has agreed to implement the law 04/2009 fully by January 12, 2014.

Government firmly said that, the export ban of unprocessed ore will be implemented on 12 January 2014.

Indonesia will be consistent in banning mineral-ore exports this year, as mandated by the 2009 Mining Law, and the government regulation would set processing and purification requirements before companies can export, a senior government official said, as quoted by local media.
