We have access to substantial mineable coal reserves, through a combination of our internal reserves, via long-term off-take agreements with affiliated mines and/or via some of the largest and most reputable local mines.On a daily basis, we have numerous coal-laden barges on the water which are shipped to our buyer's designated discharge locations: Either local ports, export ports, stockpiles or mother-vessels; always meeting the requirements of our clients in time while ensuring the quality and quantity which we have mutually agreed upon.The back-story to our success is the growth of Indonesia's industrial sector and the associated demand for energy, which is reflected in increased coal supply.
