Background

The terminal was primarily used to export coal from the Ombilin coal mine, which was also owned and operated by PT Bukit Asam but ceased operations in 2019. The facility had a design capacity of 2 million tonnes throughput per year.[2]

With the closure of the Ombilin mine, the Teluk Bayur coal terminal appears to be mothballed; it is no longer listed as part of PT Bukit Asam's operations.[3] The port is still used for other cargo, such as cement exported by PT Semen Padang.[4][5] In the 2022 Annual report PT Bukit Asam Tbk, the Teluk Balyur terminal was listed having 2.5 million tonne capacity.[6]

Proposed coal terminal in Padang

In July 2014 it was reported that Indonesia planned to build 14 dedicated coal terminals on the islands of Kalimantan and Sumatra in a bid to curb illegal coal exports. One of the proposed locations was Padang. However the government was finding it difficult to obtain private funding for the terminals in the current environment of depressed coal prices.[7] As of November 2021, there was no indication that this proposal ever moved forward, and the project appearred to be cancelled.
