Location

Muara Satui is located on the island of Kalimantan, in position latitude 03 - 58' - 00" S longitude 115 - 31' - 00" E, about 100 kilometres south east of Banjarmasin. The closest small towns to the port are the towns of Satui and Sebamban, and the closest large town is that of Banjarmasin. [3] [4]

Port information

The port of Muara Satui is similar to Taboneo in that all cargo loading and discharging operations are carried out in the large open anchorage by cranes and barges. [5] Tugs with barges laden with coal come alongside ships in the anchorage and carry out loading operations with ships cranes or shore cranes. It is common to find 3 to 5 barges alongside a single ship. Another anchorage loading port at Muara Sebamban lies 5 miles to the east of Muara Satui. [3]

The port is a popular loading port for coal, nickel ore and iron ore and has a depth of 14 metres. Operations continue around the clock with a loading rate of 8000-10,000 tonnes per day. [6]

The coal loaded at the anchorage is sometimes referred to as "Satui coal" is a variety of bituminous coal (coking coal) and originates in the Satui mines and WBM mines. [7] The mines contain deposits of Karuh, Kintap, Satui and Bukit Baru. Satui coal seams themselves are sub-divided based on their ash content. [8] Though the coal requires crushing, due to its low ash content it does not require washing. Satui coals are crushed at facilities adjacent to the Muara Satui anchorage port and then stacked into stockpiles representing different Satui products. [9] These stockpiles are sometimes blended, thus allowing coal of desired quality specifications to be loaded for ships. The mines are owned by various entities including PT Arutmin and PT Bayan resources. [10]

South Kalimantan Province of Indonesia

South Kalimantan is a province of Indonesia. It is the smallest province in Kalimantan, the Indonesian territory of Borneo. The provincial capital is Banjarmasin. The population of South Kalimantan was recorded at just over 3.625 million people at the 2010 Census, and at 4.07 million at the 2020 Census. One of the five Indonesian provinces in Kalimantan, it is bordered by the Makassar Strait in the east, Central Kalimantan in the west and north, the Java Sea in the south, and East Kalimantan in the north. The province also includes the island of Laut, located off the eastern coast of Kalimantan. The province is divided into 11 regencies and 2 cities. South Kalimantan is the traditional homeland of the Banjar people, although some parts of East Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan are also included in this criteria. Nevertheless, South Kalimantan, especially the capital city Banjarmasin has always been the cultural capital of Banjarese culture. Many Banjarese have migrated to other parts of Indonesia, as well as neighbouring countries such as Singapore and Malaysia. In addition, other ethnic groups also inhabit the province, such as several groups of the Dayaks, who mostly live in the interior part of the province, as well as the Javanese, who mostly migrated from Java due to the Transmigration program which dated from the Dutch colonial era.

A lighter is a type of flat-bottomed barge used to transfer goods and passengers to and from moored ships. Lighters were traditionally unpowered and were moved and steered using long oars called "sweeps" and the motive power of water currents. They were operated by skilled workers called lightermen and were a characteristic sight in London's docks until about the 1960s, when technological changes made this form of lightering largely redundant. Unpowered lighters continue to be moved by powered tugs, however, and lighters may also now themselves be powered. The term is also used in the Lighter Aboard Ship (LASH) system.

Bulk material handling

Bulk material handling is an engineering field that is centered on the design of equipment used for the handling of dry materials. Bulk materials are those dry materials which are powdery, granular or lumpy in nature, and are stored in heaps. Examples of bulk materials are minerals, ores, coal, cereals, woodchips, sand, gravel, clay, cement, ash, salt, chemicals, grain, sugar, flour and stone in loose bulk form. It can also relate to the handling of mixed wastes. Bulk material handling is an essential part of all industries that process bulk ingredients, including: food, beverage, confectionery, pet food, animal feed, tobacco, chemical, agricultural, polymer, plastic, rubber, ceramic, electronics, metals, minerals, paint, paper, textiles and more.

Crane vessel Crane carrying ship used for lifting heavy loads

A crane vessel, crane ship or floating crane is a ship with a crane specialized in lifting heavy loads. The largest crane vessels are used for offshore construction. Conventional monohulls are used, but the largest crane vessels are often catamaran or semi-submersible types as they have increased stability. On a sheerleg crane, the crane is fixed and cannot rotate, and the vessel therefore is manoeuvered to place loads.

Handysize

Handysize is a naval architecture term for smaller bulk carriers or oil tanker with deadweight of up to 50,000 tonnes, although there is no official definition in terms of exact tonnages. Handysize is also sometimes used to refer to the span of up to 60,000 tons, with the vessels above 35,000 tonnes referred to as Handymax or Supramax.

Transloading is the process of transferring a shipment from one mode of transportation to another. It is most commonly employed when one mode cannot be used for the entire trip, such as when goods must be shipped internationally from one inland point to another. Such a trip might require transport by truck to an airport, then by airplane overseas, and then by another truck to its destination; or it might involve bulk material loaded to rail at the mine and then transferred to a ship at a port. Transloading is also required at railroad break-of-gauge points, since the equipment can not pass from one track to another unless bogies are exchanged.

It took place in the 19th and 20th centuries. It should not be confused with the export coal trade, which still exists today. There was also an interstate trade, carrying coal and coke to other Australian states that did not have local sources of black coal.
