By Cepi Setiadi

Coal mining company PT Bhumi Sriwijaya Perdana Coal, a subsidiary of PT Bhakti Coal Resources, is targeting to complete the construction of its hauling road in Musi Banyuasin, South Sumatra next year.

Once the construction of the hauling road has been completed, the company will ramp up production to 150,000 tons per month from 50,000 tons at present.

Operational Director Humala Oloan told Petromindo.com that the hauling road will have a length of about 20 kilometers. "At present, we still use the public road. Hence, we can only produce about 50,000 tons," he said
