are few numbers of ships, 50 units. Recently, only 3%
of national fleet are operated for coal carrier while the
rest, 97%, managed by international ship (Yunianto,
Lazuardi, & Hadi, 2018).
3.5 The Port of Origin and Port of
Destination
The study case on this research is the export of coal
from Muara Pantai, East Borneo to Guangzhou port,
China. There are three mining areas, Sambarata, Lati,
and Binungan. From Lati, Coal are produced for
brand Agathis and Sungkai. The coal reserved in this
area is 465 million ton. Coal is excavated with a
hydraulic excavator and loaded on trucks. From this
mining area, the coal is transported to the installation,
11 km, through a well-established road on any
weather, then stocked in the stockpile before loaded
into the barge.
Figure 4: The percentage of Indonesian fleets.
The destination port in China, Guangzhou port
which established in 2004, has 14 coal terminals, with
the result that it could manage 60 million ton in a year.
In 2010, the port could handle 410 million ton of
cargo in which it was nominated as the 5th busiest
port for non-container handling and the 7th best port
for container handling (UNCTAD, 2015). Moreover,
one of terminal is Xinsha (14,4-meter depth) on the
fresh water. So that, the ship that aim to conduct
loading and discharging is restricted to the maximum
of 85,000 DWT.
4 ANALYSIS AND RESULTS
4.1 Introduction
The result of this research on the coal trade is the
optimum fleet planning in terms of cost analysis on
charter, ship building and second-hand ship through
national shipping company which fulfils the
international coal demand.
4.2 Existing Coal Export in Indonesia
In today’s world, 80% of shipping contract apply the
FOB as the term of delivery in where the exporter
pays the cost of marine freight, insurance, discharging
and transportation from the arrival port to the final
destination. Besides, the CIF term in export- import
increases the role of companies with Indonesian legal
status and assists increasing foreign exchange
through taxes.
Coal export in Indonesia is carried by bulk carrier
from Muara Pantai, East Borneo to Guangzhou port,
China for 1,424 nm. The loading-discharging
activities in Muara Pantai utilises the floating transfer
solution (speed 40,000 tonnage/day). In addition, dry
bulk carrier is operated to transport coal using the
FOB delivery term. The size of the dry bulk carrier is
65,000 DWT with RFR $4-$4.5 per tonnage.
4.3 FOB and CIF Comparation
Calculation model used in this research can be
utilized to calculate freight on other routes on
domestic coal demand. The freight excludes the profit
margin, called require freight rate (RFR).
Ship operations determine the cost required in the
transportation process. There are 2 (two) types of
time, when ship is berthing and sailing. The vessels
time conducting activities in the port is called port
time, whereas the time spent vessel on the sea (origin
to destination) is called sea time. Port time includes
waiting time, approaching time, and berthing time.
Sea time calculation is obtained from the division
between the distance travelled (s) with the speed of
the vessel (v). Meanwhile, the speed of the ship is
determined by laden and ballast condition. Port time
distance travelled (S) and sea time (s) are the time are
required to export the coal in one roundtrip.
