About This Seaport
East Kalimantan's thermal coal belt reaches tidewater at Sangkulirang (listed as Benoa in some port registers, IDSKI), an anchorage terminal on the Makassar Strait that shipped roughly 9 million tonnes of coal in 2025. The facility belongs to PT Indexim Coalindo, whose open-pit mine in Kutai Timur regency is rated at 9.17 million tonnes per annum, with an expansion to 13.8 Mtpa proposed. There is no cargo quay: tugs and barges shuttle coal from onshore stockpiles to bulk carriers riding at anchor, and the operator added further tug-and-barge capacity to that shuttle in 2026. Land access is limited to the operator's private mine haul roads, so the terminal is closed to third-party cargo. No container, breakbulk or reefer services operate here. Exporters and importers with such cargo use Samarinda (IDSMQ, approx. 80 km) or Balikpapan (IDBPN, approx. 160 km), both of which offer customs clearance and liner connections.
