Tirta Nusa Buana

What Tirta Nusa Buana does

PT Tirta Nusa Buana is an Indonesian privately held marine logistics company specializing in coal transhipment, with its headquarters in Jakarta Selatan and a primary operational base in Meulaboh, Aceh. The company supports PT Mifa Bersaudara's coal mining operations by running integrated logistics in the challenging open-sea environment off Meulaboh, where coal is transferred from barges to ocean-going vessels. Its service portfolio is organized into three core modules — Barging (an owned fleet of 11 tug and barges plus 1 harbor tug and 2 assist tugs, moving dry bulk and general cargo), Stevedoring (22 dozers and loaders delivering an average loading capacity of 60,000 MT/day with online cargo monitoring), and Site Management (stockpile management, 24/7 certified pilotage, mooring, and harbor tug services using Z-Peller technology).

The underlying technology stack is centered on marine operations management: a proprietary Online Cargo Monitoring System provides real-time visibility into cargo loading and weather-driven shipment planning, a Fleet Compliance System tracks regulatory and safety adherence, and specialized harbor tug equipment enables agile berthing. The company emphasizes an experienced 300+ person workforce (including vessel crews and shore support) with ongoing investment in maritime navigation and safety training, and has reported transporting 30+ million tons of coal over three years across its transhipment activities.

Commercially, Tirta Nusa Buana operates a direct B2B enterprise sales model targeting Indonesian coal mining companies, with customized contracts and site-specific operational planning. Revenue is generated through transaction-fee-based pricing on transhipment, barging, and stevedoring services, supplemented by professional-services fees for integrated site management. The company's strategic footprint is expanding beyond Meulaboh into Satui (Kalimantan Selatan) and Sulawesi Tenggara for non-coal bulk transport, though customer concentration on PT Mifa Bersaudara remains the defining structural feature of the business.
