Pulau Laut Coal Terminal

Pulau Laut Coal Terminal is located adjacent to the Java Sea and the Makassar Strait and lies on major Indonesian domestic and international shipping routes. It is sometimes referred to as the South Pulau Laut Coal Terminal. The subsidiary of Adaro Indonesia, PT Indonesia Bulk Terminal (IBT) is the developer and operator of the Pulau Laut Coal Terminal. The North Pulau Laut Coal Terminal is located to the north of the Pulau Laut Coal Terminal.

The port is capable of handling 200,000 DWT coal bulk carriers.

The terminal is one of the two public terminals in Indonesia which can undertake coal handling services from any coal producer. Its ability to offer coal blending services while maintaining quality control and requirements make is attractive to coal companies. In 2008 IBT entered into a BOOT (Build-Own-Operate-Transfer) agreement with Shell to develop a fuel storage and distribution center at the terminal. The operation is managed by Shell.
