Multi Criteria Decision Analysis has been used to assess the potential of multimodal coal transportation in Indonesia. The analysis is based on a financial and qualitative comparison of different transportation modalities. The findings on optimal distances of road and belt conveyor transport have been extended based on varying throughput levels of coal, in order to determine their competitiveness. The qualitative aspects have been assessed researched based on a survey about the state of affairs and market risks in Indonesia. The analysis revealed that mine operators are risk averse and look for a quick return on the invested capital. It has also been concluded that the dependence on road transport is increasing, due to the lack of government moderation. The government must work on ensuring a more safe and reliable business environment for the private sector to invest into in the Indonesian market.
