Pertamina Patra Niaga Boosts Fuel Distribution and Supply Across Indonesia

Pertamina Patra Niaga is intensifying its efforts to ensure the consistent availability of energy for the Indonesian public by optimizing fuel oil (BBM) distribution nationwide. Kitty Andhora, VP Corporate Communication for Pertamina Patra Niaga, stated that national fuel supplies at Pertamina's BBM Terminals are currently adequate and sufficient.

Andhora clarified that any observed queues at fuel stations are not indicative of stock shortages but rather a result of increased demand. The company is actively managing supply and distribution in real-time across its operational areas. To address dynamic demand, Pertamina Patra Niaga is implementing several operational strategies. These include operating Fuel Terminals 24 hours in high-demand regions to maintain an uninterrupted flow of fuel reception, preparation, and distribution.

Furthermore, Pertamina is deploying additional fuel tanker fleets to areas experiencing heightened demand to expedite deliveries to gas stations. They are also adjusting tanker operational patterns for earlier deliveries, ensuring fuel arrives before the morning rush. Coordination with station managers and local authorities is underway to manage vehicle access at gas stations, facilitating smoother public access and traffic flow. The company is also continuously monitoring supply patterns, including the implementation of Regular, Alternative, and Emergency (RAE) supply strategies tailored to regional conditions.

Pertamina Patra Niaga urges the public to use fuel responsibly and purchase products according to their intended use. They also encourage citizens to avoid panic buying, assuring them that distribution channels remain active. "We will continue to optimize distribution throughout the region, especially in areas experiencing increased needs. We invite the public to remain calm, buy fuel according to their needs, and together support the targeted distribution of fuel so that the energy needs of all people can continue to be met," Kitty concluded.
