The agreement is expected to include the transportation of about 100 million t of coal over 25 years. Oldendorff Carriers signed the 25 year agreement with NS2PC, and will do the ocean transportation of the coal, and the transhipment and delivery to Nghi Son. Oldendorff will open an office in North Vietnam in order to perform the transhipment operations together with Vietnamese partners.

NS2PC started construction this year on two 600 MW power generation units on the coast of Nghi Son Province in North Vietnam. Both units will be completed in 2021 and are expected to consume about 4 million tpy of coal. The coal will be mainly imported from five ports in Indonesia; Balikpapan anchorage, Samarinda anchorage, Adang Bay anchorage, Muara Jawa anchorage and Muara Berau anchorage, in capesize bulk carriers.

Oldendorff Carriers intends to build two purpose built Transhipment Vessels (TSV’s) in China, with the first TSV being ready to tranship and deliver coal cargoes in 2021. The TSVs will have a length of 145 m, a beam of about 34 m with about 27 000 dwt on 8.5 m draft. The TSV’s will be equipped with two heavy-duty cranes for self-loading from the capesize vessels at anchorage, and a gravity feed self-unloading system for discharging the coal at the NS2PC jetty. Each TSV will also be equipped with two payloaders for efficient discharging of the OGV. The coal will be unloaded from the capesize by the TSV’s cranes at a designated anchorage about 11 NM from the NS2PC jetty. There will be about two capesize deliveries per month and each vessel will have on board up to two grades of coal.

Ok If forgetting the expected increase of air pollution for a while, parts of the shipped coal could be made to fuel. Vietnam can buy more minerals from Indonesia.

Our traditional coal market is India and China, never knew that we sell coal to Vietnamese as well. :cheers:

Trading with VN is more advantageous than with China and India. They are trillion trillion economies not necessarily relying on trades with Indonesia. We are poorer and hungrier hence do more.

No need to worry about that. Indonesia only export lignite and sub-bituminous grade coal (fuel grade nonetheless) and they release lesser sulfur, thus more environment friendly compare to those steam coal or anthracite typically export by countries such as US or Australia.
 
Why are you buying coal when you have one of world biggest mine in Quang Ninh?

Because it’s cheaper and more suitable for Vietnam thermal power plants. Same reason why Germany imports coal despite having large coal reserves.
