PT. Sarana Daya Mandiri Member of Adaro Logistic

PT Sarana Daya Mandiri (SDM) is a South Kalimantan based company responsible for management and maintenance of the new Barito River channel. SDM manages marine traffic in the new channel and conducts routine maintenance of the 15 kilometers channel through regular dredging. In 2008, SDM undertook the initial capital dredging of the new channel as a contractor to PT Ambang Barito Nusapersada, a company owned by the South Kalimantan Government. SDM was appointed to dredge the new channel as well as manage traffic operations and works in cooperation with the Government to collect channel usage fees. This partnership allows SDM to recoup the cost of the initial capital dredging and fund its ongoing expenditures in maintaining the guaranteed channel depth to allow 24-hour movement of loaded coal barges, upkeep of navigational aids, and continuously upgrading of traffic management systems to ensure navigational safety in the channel
