Tanjung Bara, Coal loading port in East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Tanjung Bara is a coal export terminal on the coast of East Kalimantan, connected to the mining areas around Sangatta. The facility has loading infrastructure and docking areas built to handle large cargo vessels.

Tanjung Bara Coal Terminal began operating in 1991, built to ship coal from the Sangatta mine about 20 km to the southwest. It is owned and operated by Kaltim Prima Coal, a joint venture of BP and Rio Tinto. Together with Taboneo near Banjarmasin, it became one of Indonesia's largest coal loading ports.

The terminal is owned and operated by Kaltim Prima Coal, a joint venture of BP and Rio Tinto. Together with Taboneo near Banjarmasin, Tanjung Bara ranks among Indonesia's largest coal loading ports, and the two names are commonly paired in the country's coal export trade.

Tanjung Bara is an operating coal terminal owned by Kaltim Prima Coal, so there is no public access to the wharves. Ships are met by pilots about 7 miles (11 km) offshore, and the terminal runs around the clock. The nearest town is Sangatta, roughly 20 km southwest; Bontang is the closest city. Tidal range is 2.8 to 4.4 m.

The channel in front of the terminal is deep enough to receive cape-sized vessels year-round, some of the largest cargo ships in the world. These ships are too wide to pass through the Panama or Suez canals and must sail around Cape Horn or the Cape of Good Hope instead.
