The Barlow Jonker Index (BJI) is an indicator of the spot price of thermal coal in the Asian market. It reflects the price at which a willing seller and a willing buyer are prepared to do business in the spot market for a prompt cargo of thermal coal loaded FOB vessel Port of Newcastle, N.S.W, Australia. Newcastle is the world's largest export coal loading facility and Newcastle coal is the reference coal in the Asian thermal coal market.

The prices used historically, and those used each week in determining the BJI, are based on actual shipments of thermal coal. When actual fixtures are not available, a panel of traders and shippers are consulted and an average market price is determined.

The base for the index is set in January 1986 when the spot price was US$32.00/t. Since its inception, the BJI has charted a cyclical course..

From 1 January 2001, the BJI was widened to include any spot sale of thermal coal from Newcastle to any destination, rather than just the very restricted Japan General Industry market. The updated details are as follows:

• Coal Type - thermal coal having Calorific Value 6,700 kcal/kg GAD , Ash 15% maximum ADB (unchanged), Sulphur 0.80% maximum ADB, and Volatile Matter 30% minimum ADB.
• Origin - Newcastle.
• Consumer - power utilities, General Industry and Cement Industry and no restrictions on Importing Country.
• Vessel Size - No restriction, one hold to full cape acceptable.
• Loading - Within 6 months of price settlement (one or multiple vessels acceptable).
• Price Basis - FOB US$ to seller.
• Buying method - Any method including open spot tender, restricted tenders, e-commerce, or negotiated price.
• Methodology (ranked in order of importance):
  Detailed information collected from reliable sources on completed spot sales to consumers.
  Opinions from an expert panel regarding the current level of the spot market price. Information is kept each week and a minimum of two panel members agree each week on the current level of the spot market price.
