Hello Everyone!!!

I am anthracite coal supplier in India. We have mines which give 60%-65% Fixed Carbon anthracite coal.
ASH of these coal varies from 30% to 35%.
But the quantity is very limited.

I am hoping to IMPORT Ungraded/Rejected/Unsized Anthracite coal in bulk (The lower the quality the better for me)
Looking to buy 1000 MT to start with.

I am open to rejected coal (due to quality) by mines.
Looking forward for your views/suggestions.

raw coal,or ROM coal,would work for your specs.it could be screened and blended to whatever you would like,the catch is,it would have to be paid for.

That in itself will be extremely difficult to do simply because small amounts of
bulk material are almost impossible to ship unless you have arranged to have the opportunity
to obtain 30 heavy cargo shipping containers that will carry 80,000 pounds each-30 metric tons
per container.

then finding a mine owner that would be willing to break old mine waste and then
load the coantainers with a small skid steer loader then load them on the lorries to
tranfer them to the port.

It would be cost prohibitive because the mines do not handle shipping containers.

Shipping would require a loading point most likely in Philadelphia then
a Panama canal transit to india and then on to either Gujarat or Delhi

You would be better off financially buying low suphur coal from the Powder River Basin and
shipping it to Gujarat or Delhi with a Panamax vessel from Houston and then using a compactor to make
briquettes or the standard coal press block with the ring of combustion holes in the exterior of
the round coal bricks..
