Jakarta. Indonesia has postponed indefinitely the application of new rules that would limit shipments of coal and palm oil exports to only national shipping companies, a Coordinating Economic Affairs Ministry official said on Tuesday (27/02).
Indonesia is the world's biggest exporter of thermal coal and top producer of palm oil, but presently most of its exports of these commodities use foreign vessels.
