Abstract: Countries in East and South-east Asia plan to provide a considerable part of future energy supplies from coal. The coal must mostly be imported from countries outside the region. Considerable economies in the transport of coal can be achieved by using large ships. We examine the proposition that the economies of scale justify regional collaboration in one or more trans-shipment depots at which large loads from the supplier are broken up and distributed in small vessels to small consumers.
