Ensuring Energy Distribution During Ramadan, Pertamina Directors Review Petrol Stations in South Kalimantan
Banjarmasin, April 3, 2022 - To ensure fuel readiness and availability in the field ahead of Ramadan 1443 H/2022 AD, the Board of Directors of PT Pertamina (Persero) visited several petrol stations and fuel terminal facilities in several areas across Indonesia on Saturday, April 2, 2022.
The visit was simultaneously carried out by all Pertamina Directors. Namely President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero) Nicke Widyawati in Jambi and South Sumatera, Director of Logistics and Infrastructure, Mulyono in several areas in North Sumatera, Director of Portfolio Strategy and Business Development (SPPU) Iman Rachman in Riau, Director of Business Support, Dedi Sunardi in East Kalimantan, Director of Human Resources M. Erry Sugiharto in South and Central Kalimantan, and Director of Finance Emma Sri Martini in South Sulawesi. In addition, the Director of Pertamina Patra Niaga, Alfian Nasution also visited the areas of West Sumatera, Lampung and Bengkulu.
On this occasion, the Director of Human Resources, M. Erry Sugiharto, visited three petrol stations in Banjarmasin City. Namely, 6470702 KM 19 SPBU, 6470701 Loktabat SPBU, and 6470607 Agrabudi SPBU to ensure excellent service is provided to consumers.
"We are making sure that fuel supply goes well ahead of Ramadan. With the increase in business activities, we are also anticipating the fuel needs," said Erry.
Erry also hopes that the available subsidized fuel can be right on target. For this reason, Pertamina, with stakeholders, went directly to the field to monitor fuel distribution. Thus, it could arrive and be realized properly.
To anticipate the homecoming current and increasing fuel demand, his party will also prepare additional services of standby petrol stations, standby tank trucks, motorists, pocket petrol stations, and rest areas equipped with health facilities for travelers at several points on the homecoming route.
"We have also formed a special task force for Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr (RAFI Task Force) to ensure the smooth supply and distribution of fuel and LPG to the community," he said.
The RAFI Task Force team will be on duty from April 11 to May 10, 2022. It will coordinate with relevant agencies such as the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), the Ministry of Transportation, the Downstream Oil and Gas Regulatory Agency (BPH Migas), the TNI, and the Police.
Pertamina ensures that the subsidized diesel stock is in a sufficient condition, which is above 20 days. “Pertamina continues to maintain the supply and distribution of subsidized diesel to the community. Even though the subsidized Solar quota as of February 2022 has exceeded the national quota of up to 10 percent," explained Erry.
On this occasion, Pertamina also appreciated the success of the TNI-POLRI in uncovering subsidized fuel misuse that occurred in several regions in Indonesia.
During the visit to the three petrol stations in Banjarmasin, Erry reminded petrol station owners not to cheat on the subsidized diesel distribution. "Pertamina does not hesitate to take firm action against petrol stations that play with subsidized diesel," said Erry in front of the media.
Pertamina's Directors greeted Pertamina's loyal customers at the petrol station. They also gave appreciation to the petrol station operator on duty.
To provide the best service, active participation from the community is hoped. If there are problems with fuel and LPG distribution, information can be submitted through the Pertamina Call Center (PCC) at number 135.**
