Sukrisno said that his company would also exercise cost cutting measures. "We want to press down costs from between $16,000 and $18,000 per metric ton in average to below $15,000 next year," he said. The company is expecting to fully operate its modified dredging ship from Bucket Line Dredger to Bucket Wheel Dredge (BWD), which will be able to operate up to 70 meters in sea depth with lower cost of production and power consumption but higher productivity. The BWD is one of the company's development projects. Timah will develop two more BWDs next year after it reviews the operation of the first BWD. Timah is also planning to develop an industrial zone in Bangka Belitung, which will not only host a tin chemical processing facility, but also other industry including coal steamed power plant project. "We will cooperate with state-owned PT Bukit Asam for the power plant project," Sukrisno, who previously served as Bukit Asam's president director, said.
