1. Introduction
and 8,711 km of Regency/City roads. Although the road length in Central Kalimantan is the second longest in Kalimantan , the road network density (roads per 1,000 km2 area) is only 79 km, whic h is very low compared to 200 km, the average for he whole of Indonesia.. It is estimated that about 56% of the total road length in Central Kalimanta n is unsurfaced, and about 40% of the road length is in poor condition. E en on national roads, the average width is only 4.5 m and the maximum l ad capacity is limited to 8 tons. Central Kalimantan has 10 seaports consisting of 6 national ports and 4 regional ports. In addition, here are also two special quays for loading CPO (Crude Palm Oil) and two special ports for coal tra nsportation. The 2007 population of Central Kalimantan is 2,0 8,000, and this is forecast to increase by about 60% to 3,414,000 by 202 . The province shows the highest population growth of the four provinces within Kalimantan. Such a high growth of future population is an import ant factor for developing regional economic activities. Central Kalimantan is now seeking to attract investment not only from foreign but also local investors in such sectors as forestry, food crops, estate crops, livestock, fishery, mining, trade, industry , tourism, etc. In order to support such investment opportunities, the devel opment of infrastructure is indispensable, with he transportation sector is given the highest priority.

Estimate of Coal to be H uled on the Coal Freight Railway
Based on the above preliminary dem and exercises, demand projections of a fixed 10 million ton/year for the first 1 0 years and 20 million ton/year from the enth year onward have been assu ed. These projections depend also on he effective restriction of the constr uction of new private coal roads to the Barito River and its tributaries and the use of the Barito River beyond Bangkuang for transportation of c oal. The construction of new roads between mines and the proposed rail way will of course be allowed. Over a 30 year concession period, it iis therefore expected that a minimum of 500 MT of coal would be mined in th e northern area and transported on the railway. If exploration confirms lar er deposits of coal then annual coal ransport of 20 MT could commence arlier than 2022. The Project, based on somewhat c nservative estimates of coal transport demand, and the known problems ith river transport on the Barito River, results in rail transport becoming t e most reliable mode of transport to move coals speedily from the mines t o river ports to the south having all year round barge access.
