Indonesia faces thermal coal loading delays amid vessel quarantines: sources

摘要

Singapore—The loading of coal cargoes onto vessels in the Kalimantan archipelago could experience slight delays in the near-term amid lingering concerns over the spread of coronavirus or COVID-19, sources said Friday. A south China-based trader told S&P Global Platts that workers from a mine in South Kalimantan were wary that incoming vessels from China might contain the COVID-19, and did not adhere to their loading schedules. “There is a slight delay of 1-2 days due to vessel checks by the quarantine team of Indonesia’s Ministry of Health,” said an Indonesia based trader.
