Pertamina Patra Niaga ensures normal fuel supply in Medan

Fuel distribution services across Medan and its surrounding areas have returned to normal, Pertamina Patra Niaga announced, following a recent spike in demand. The company has bolstered its distribution capacity to ensure uninterrupted energy supply for the public.

Increased public activity, including the resumption of school and office operations, led to a 5-10% rise in daily fuel consumption in Medan. In response, Pertamina Patra Niaga accelerated its distribution efforts. This included deploying an additional 10 operational fuel trucks and 30 spot charter trucks, alongside reinforcing distribution personnel with 34 drivers from nearby fuel terminals and 16 individuals from Bekangdam.

We immediately increased distribution capacity by adding fuel truck fleets and distribution personnel, as well as optimizing operations so that services at the gas stations have returned to normal.
