Banjarmasin coal transshipment & dry-bulk voyage intelligence

Current planning answer: the canonical Banjarmasin port identity is useful for route reproducibility, but a coal requirement should specify the actual loading/transshipment arrangement. Official KSOP records document specific coal loading and transshipment activity in the Banjarmasin port area; those approvals are evidence of individual operations, not a permanent promise of berth, draft, productivity or availability.

Commercial implication:
Before circulating a Banjarmasin coal stem, replace generic port-time assumptions with the actual barge/STS plan, loading rate, ocean-vessel position, local movement requirements and current authority clearances.

Official operational and safety context

Dated evidence is kept with its scope so one approved operation is not turned into a universal port rule.

High impactSafety policy

Ministry reinforced KSOP authority to delay or withhold sailing clearance when safety requirements are not met

Following recent events around Banjarmasin, Indonesia’s Ministry of Transportation instructed maritime-safety authorities to ensure vessel condition, cargo, crew, weather and safety equipment are satisfactory before sailing clearance is granted.

Voyage implication: a firm laycan or commercial schedule does not override local SPB/harbour-master requirements; recheck current safety and weather conditions close to departure.

Specific operationCoal transshipment

KSOP Banjarmasin approved a specific 8,018-tonne coal loading/transshipment operation

The official approval names barge GEMILANG 3012, cargo BATUBARA, quantity 8,018 tonnes, STS ALUR TERMINAL IMPT and receiving vessel MV MG KRONOS. The approval also sets pollution-prevention, traffic, equipment, safety and supervision conditions.

Voyage implication: this is strong evidence that coal STS operations occur under specific authority approval, but it does not establish a standing loading rate, draft or availability for another shipment.

KSOP Kelas I Banjarmasin / Inaportnet · 06 Aug 2025

A specific KSOP approval proves that named operation was authorised for its stated period and conditions. CharterPulse does not generalise that approval into a permanent terminal specification.

What to confirm for a coal stem

Exact STS / loading location

Name the river, terminal, anchorage or STS point rather than relying only on IDBDJ.

Barge-to-ocean-vessel chain

Barge parcel size, number of barges, tug programme, transfer sequence and ocean-vessel receiving arrangement.

Authority approvals

Confirm the current approvals and movement permissions required for the nominated operation and period.

Loading productivity

Use the actual planned loading/transshipment rate and expected waiting time in place of a generic seven-day port assumption.

Pollution & safety controls

Official approvals can contain operational conditions covering pollution prevention, equipment, traffic and supervision.

Weather / SPB

Current weather and harbour-master sailing-clearance requirements remain separate from modeled freight.
