PT RMK Energy Tbk (RMKE) transported 623.99 thousand tons of coal in January 2023 or an increase of 99.67% year on year (YoY). This transport volume is the highest low season achievement for the last five years. From the coal sales segment, RMKE managed to sell 135.10 thousand tons of coal in January 2023, also the highest low season coal sales volume for the last 5 years, or a sharp increase from the lowest point due to the coal export ban policy early last year. The coal sales volume reached 4.85% this year's target. Based on the operational segment, coal sales and services contributed 17.80% and 82.20% respectively.
RMKE Director of Finance Vincent Saputra said that this year his party will focus on completing the hauling road project which will be integrated with several mines in Muara Enim, including the mine owned by PTBA. This hauling road will be integrated with RMKE's Mount Megang loading station so that it can support the Company's operations to provide seamless coal logistics solutions in South Sumatra. In addition, Vincent ensured that the company also continuously sees opportunities for collaboration in the energy sector to increase the volume of services and sales of coal in the future.
"Based on the mid-term prospects that have been released, this year RMKE targets to be able to transport 10.8 million tons of coal and sell 2.78 million tons of coal. Of the total coal sales volume, PT Truba Bara Banyu Enim (TBBE), RMKE's in-house mine, will contribute 2.1 million tons of coal," Vincent said in a press release, Wednesday (1/3). Vincent continued, his party is optimistic that it can achieve better operating performance this year in line with the latest collaboration with PTBA in South Sumatra which is now in the finalization stage.
