Palembang, December 30, 2021 - Director of Logistics and Infrastructure of PT Pertamina (Persero) Mulyono inspected PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional (PT KPI) Refinery Unit (RU) III Plaju Wednesday (29/12), to ensure refinery activities and operations run normally and optimally during Christmas to New Year (Nataru).

During the visit, Mulyono who was accompanied by Senior Vice President (SVP) of Logistic Integration & Optimization, Afandi, appreciated the Pertamina Plaju Refinery which recorded a positive performance throughout 2021. "Looking at the performance of fellow workers, it is already extraordinary, considering that the Plaju refinery was about to be closed due to losses," he said, referring to RU III Plaju as a fighting refinery.

Mulyono, who is also in charge of the Nataru Task Force, gave encouragement and motivation to all levels of management and workers of PT KPI RU III Plaju in facing the Nataru holiday standby. He asked for all refinery activities to continue operating smoothly.

Moreover, Mulyono reminded the importance of efficiency in running business processes. "Do something new, you don't have to do something that didn't exist before, but you can polish the existing one to make it more effective and efficient in business processes," he continued.

His arrival was welcomed by the General Manager (GM) of PT KPI RU III Plaju, Edy Januari Utama in the GM Conference Room (CRGM). On that occasion, the management of PT KPI RU III Plaju and PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Sumbagsel were also present.
