Resources Global Development Ltd has appointed Salim Limanto as deputy chief executive officer, effective Dec. 15, as part of the Singapore-listed group’s succession planning, the company said on Friday.
Limanto, 42, currently serves as executive director and chief operating officer and will retain his board position following the promotion. In his new role, he will support and act on behalf of the chief executive officer in strategic and operational matters, including corporate strategy execution, day-to-day operations and engagement with key stakeholders.
He has more than 12 years of experience in coal mining, transportation and trading, and has been closely involved in overseeing the group’s operations since its listing in 2020. Limanto will continue to lead the group’s shipping services and coal mining businesses.

Resources Global Development has been expanding across both mining and logistics. Its mining arm, held through units Batubara Development Pte. Ltd. and PT Deli Niaga Sejahtera, has interests in five coal mines in Central Kalimantan—PT Persada Kapuas Prima, PT Persona Bara Cakrawala, PT Cakrawala Bara Persada, PT Pasir Bara Prima and PT Tri Oetama Persada—with combined proved and probable reserves of about 226 million tonnes. Two of the mines, Tri Oetama Persada and Persada Kapuas Prima, started production in September 2024 and June 2025, respectively.
The group also owns Indonesia Stock Exchange-listed PT Paragon Karya Perkasa Tbk, formerly known as PT Perdana Karya Perkasa Tbk.
The management change comes as the company continues to scale up its shipping operations. Resources Global Development has said its Indonesian shipping subsidiary, PT Deli Pratama Angkutan Laut, added 12 tug-and-barge units, bringing its fleet to 29 Indonesian-flagged vessels with a combined capacity of around 276,000 deadweight tonnes by the end of 2024. The shipping division has also been diversifying beyond coal transport into commodities such as sand, bauxite, nickel and granite.
Limanto does not hold shares in the company but is related to the founding shareholders through family ties, the company said.
