Shipment delays in E Kalimantan as Indonesia government cracks down on union
An Indonesian government crackdown on a local labor union of stevedores in Samarinda, East Kalimantan is likely to cause further delays to thermal coal loading amid a market already tight for available prompt cargoes, sources said Thursday. According to sources, the government placed Samudra Sejahtera Stevedores Company (Komura) under investigation last Friday, consequently halting the provision of services to vessels coming into the anchorage point of Muara Berau this week. Three sources said vessels that already started loading last Friday will be allowed to complete their operations. Also, gearless shipments were able to continue loading through the use of floating cranes, they said. Geared vessels expected to arrive this week will be most affected, as they normally need 12-15 people to operate their cranes. This is where the stevedores come in, an Indonesia-based source said. http://www.platts.com/latest-news/shipping/singapore/shipment-delays-in-e-kalimantan-as-indonesia-27798204
