The port handles coal from Indonesia's Tanjung Enim mine[2][3] and Omblin mine.[4]

facilities to accommodate ships at a maximum capacity of 210,000 dead-weight tonnage (DWT), from the
previous 80,000 DWT. The maximum capacity of the terminal is scheduled to be enlarged to 240,000 DWT.
Bukit Asam now operates three quaysides at the Tarahan port.[5]
