By Cepi Setiadi

Emerging coal mining company PT Prolindo Cipta Nusantara (PCN) plans to deliver its first export shipment to India in November 2013.

President Director Rudy Hartanto told Petromindo.com recently that the first vessel will carry out about 50,000 tons of coal.

The company starts to produce coal from its coal mine in Sebamban, Tanah Bumbu Regency, South Kalimantan this month. The company is expected to produce about 300,000 tons per month in 2014.

Earlier Rudy said the company aims to produce about 70,000 tons in October and monthly output was expected to jump up to 250,000 tons starting November, and further increase to 300,000 tons per month next year as its jetty capacity is expanded.
