Tanjung Bara

Tanjung Bara is a coal export facility located on East Kalimantan's coast, serving the mining operations in the Sangatta region nearby. The port includes loading infrastructure and docking areas designed to handle large cargo vessels.

The facility started operations in the early 1990s to meet rising global demand for coal exports from the Sangatta mining area. This development marked a major shift toward industrial growth along the coast.

The port development transformed the local community of Sangatta from a small fishing village into an industrial center focused on coal transportation.

Visitors should know this is an active industrial terminal where access may be limited or restricted. It is best to inquire ahead or view the facility from a nearby vantage point.

The stockpile capacity reaches 1.25 metric tons of coal, while the channel depth of 25 meters allows navigation for cape-sized vessels throughout the year.
