INDONESIAN COAL BENCHMARK SOAR 7.69% IN MARCH....!!!
.jpg) COALspot.com - The Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources of Indonesia revised up Indonesian coal benchmark prices to US$ 67.76 per MT in March 2015. The month of March price reference for Indonesian coal soars 7.69% month over month and the government's declared Indonesian Coal Price Reference for this month was the highest since October 2014.
However, the declared benchmark for March shipments seems to be failing to reflect this month’s actual market condition in Indonesian. The market has not seen any price increase this month compared to last month price levels. The sharp moves in the Newcastle index last month has Influenced strongly a high benchmark for Indonesian coal this month.
Indonesian coal benchmark price for March 2015 was calculated based on calorific value of 6,322 kcal/kg (GAR), stated to be using a formula based on the February 2015 index average of ICI-1 (Indonesia Coal Index) 25%, Platts-5900 25%, NEX (Newcastle Export Index) 25%, and GC (globalCoal Index) 25% and its 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 apply to spot contract, delivery between 1 – 31 March 2015.
The highest HBA was declared in February 2011 at US$ 127.05 per MT, which was US$ 59.29 per ton higher than this month’s declared HBA of $ 67.76 per MT.
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 a particular period.
The declared HBA in March 2015 was 12.01 per cent or $ 9.00 lower compared to the same period in 2014. In the meantime, March 2015 HBA is US$ 59.29 or 46.67% lower compared to all time high HBA which was declared in February 2011.
February 2011 declared HBA was the highest since the launching of HBA by the government of Indonesia (US$ 127.05 / MT) and the lowest was declared in May 2009 (US$ 62.83/ MT).
The March price was only valid for the spot price (loading on or before 31 March 2015), while as for term price (up to 12 months supply), 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).
The government also declared price marker for eight brands of Indonesia's coal, which are most commonly traded in the market. Those eight brands act as the benchmark and used to calculate other 66 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 the barge to the vessel. The government has recently issued a regulation (644.K/30/DJB/2013 dated 21 March 2013) to regulate or determine coal prices on FOB barge. The government also fixed the freight for barging, surveyor, insurance and etc., to determine FOB barge price. Transshipment 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 being established to fulfill the requirement of mining law 04/2009 and ministerial decree No.17/2010. In addition to that, it aims to increase government revenue from royalties from coal producers.
The coal prices are now trying to settle at a new level and it may not to move the price levels of year 2008 or 2011 once again in near future unless there is any miracle happens. Weaker oil prices are now joining hands with the excess of coal supplies, low demand, to delay the recovery of coal prices from this level to higher level. It would be nice to see coal prices settle at a point where both the producer and consumer can sustain.
