The port, worth 1 billion USD, is designed to have a capacity of 15-20 million tonnes of coal per year and will help cut logistics costs for importing coal from Indonesia. Hence, it will facilitate the sustainable development of coal exports from Indonesia to Vietnam and supply fuel to coal power plants in Vietnam.
Indonesia’s Central Statistics Agency recorded that trade between Indonesia and Vietnam reached 6.3 billion USD last year, while Indonesia suffered a 182.9 million USD deficit.
This year, Indonesia is targeting to export 4.5 million tonnes of coal to Vietnam, Lutfi added.
