Knowledge Infra to acquire 50% stake in Indonesian coalmine

 

Rahul Wadke

Mumbai, Nov. 27

Knowledge Infrastructure Systems Pvt Ltd, a privately-held coal trading company, will be acquiring 50 per cent stake in an Indonesian coalmine by December.

The company will be able to supply 9 million tonnes of coal per annum post-February 2008 and has right to mine 40 mt of coal.

The mine is located in east Kalimantan, Indonesia’s second largest province. In the same province Tata Power Company (TPC) also has major mining interest. In March, TPC had signed a $1.1-billion (Rs 4,950 crore) deal to buy 30 per cent stake in two Indonesian coalmine companies.

More projects

Knowledge Infrastructure has been in business for over five years and has a turnover of over Rs 1,000 crore. Its annual coal trading volume is 4 mt.

Talking to Business Line, Mr Rahul Bhandare, Managing Director, said that the current stake could be up scaled to 25 mt in a few years depending on market conditions. “We are not only looking at exporting coal to India but also to China, Japan and other Asian countries,” he said.

Mr Bhandare said that the company has already in place long-term coal supply contracts with Athena Power Projects for supplying 4 mt per annum of coal for its 1,200-MW project and for supply of 2 mt of coal to OPG Power Generation Pvt Ltd, Chennai. Another contract is currently under negotiations for supplying 4 mt of coal to another power plant, he said.

Mr Bhandare said that the company has also tied up with MSTC Ltd, a PSU, for developing imported coal business. Jointly, the companies are developing business models, which will involve supplying imported coal to Indian collieries, he said.

During the Eighth Five-Year Plan period, the berth line was increased by 1265m and 13 new berths were built, out of which one berth is for vessels of 30,000 dwt and 10 berths for vessels of 1000-5000 dwt. The designed annual throughput capacity was increased by 1.9 million tons. The main structural of the quaywall is the gravity-type large diameter cylinders with reinforced concrete thin wall. There are 5 new techniques, such as long distance (340m) launch on water cushion "transportation, as well as underwater installation of sections of the cylinders, which were successfully used the time in China.

XIAMEN PORT

Xiamen Port

The Port of Xiamen is situated in the estuary of Jiulongjiang River on the south coast of Fujian Province. The port has totally 74 productive berths and eleven of them are for vessels of over 10,000 dwt. The port has 6 port areas, i.e. Heping , the first -phase of Dongdu, Haitian, Shihushan, Gaoqi and Liuwudian in Tongan. In 1995, the cargo throughput reached 13.13 million tons and the container throughput reached 310,000 TEUs. The throughput of import and export foreign trade cargo reached 7.19 million tons in 1995. During the Eighth Five-Year Plan period, four deepwater berths for vessels of 10,000 dwt were built in the second-phase of Dongdu port area. The project includes one new container berths for vessels of 35,000 dwt, one coal berth for vessels of 25,000 dwt , 2 general cargo berths for vessels of 20,000 dwt and their supporting facilities. The designed annual throughput capacity was 3.5 million tons. The 3 berths on the south side, i.e. one container terminal and two general cargo berths, are built of gravity type concrete block structure with a total berthing length of 650m. The coal terminal located in Shihushan port area is built of the high-level beam-slab structure with the berthing length of 270m
