Project Description

The Lubuk Linggau – Pulau Baai Railway (±249 Km) will support a significant increase in coal production of PT. Bukit Asam and other companies in the Tanjung Enim and surrounding areas to meet market demand capacity, considering that the Tarahan Lampung route (a distance of ±410 Km) is already tired. By utilizing most of the remaining land on the Bengkulu - Lubuk Linggau toll road, it can reduce the cost of providing land and with a shorter distance it can reduce transportation costs much more efficiently, so that an increase in coal delivery routes will ultimately have an impact on increasing state revenues significantly. This railway project, the intermodal chain in the movement of coal transportation that connected to Pulau Baai Port will reduce the congestion and significantly reducing travel time from production centers to distribution centers. Further more, the railway station will reduce transportation operational cost and coal handling system because train is a mass, safe, reliable mode of transportation.
