Nagan Cipta Nusantara (NCN) has unveiled plans to develop a dedicated coal terminal port and a 10-kilometer hauling road in Nagan Raya, Aceh, with an investment of Rp 1.4 trillion ($8.4 million). The announcement was made at the Coaltrans Asia 2025, Asia’s largest coal industry conference and exhibition, held on Sept. 21–23 at the InterContinental Bali Resort.
The project will be developed in stages, beginning with a coal terminal and the hauling road, before expanding to include a crude palm oil (CPO) port. The coal terminal is expected to begin operations in the second quarter of 2026.
Aceh is among Indonesia’s largest coal-producing regions but has long faced bottlenecks due to limited port infrastructure. NCN’s integrated mine-to-port model is aimed at lowering logistics costs and reducing reliance on distribution routes outside the province.
The Nagan Raya port will have a minimum handling capacity of 40,000 tons per day, with export potential reaching 1 million tons per month, or 12 million tons annually. India, located just northwest of Aceh, is expected to be a key market.
