Jakarta (ANTARA) - PT Pertamina Patra Niaga North Sumatra Region\n(Sumbagut) has optimised fuel distribution in Medan and surrounding\nareas, improving service at a number of petrol stations so that vehicle\nqueues are beginning to return to normal.<\/p>\n
Area Manager for Communication, Relations & CSR at Pertamina\nPatra Niaga Sumbagut, Fahrougi Andriani Sumampouw, said the company\ncontinues to strengthen the entire energy supply chain to ensure the\npublic\u2019s needs remain met.<\/p>\n
\u201cQueues at a number of petrol stations are beginning to return to\nnormal as a result of the various distribution acceleration efforts we\nhave carried out together with all stakeholders. We will continue to\noptimise operations until service to the public fully returns to\nnormal,\u201d said Fahrougi in a statement received in Jakarta on\nSaturday.<\/p>\n
To accelerate the recovery of distribution, the company operates the\nIntegrated Terminal Medan Group around the clock, has added tanker lorry\nfleets through a spot charter scheme, strengthened tanker crew\npersonnel, and optimised supplies from the Kisaran Fuel Terminal,\nSiantar Fuel Terminal and Lhokseumawe Integrated Terminal.<\/p>\n
These steps are reinforced through synergy with BPH Migas, the\nIndonesian military, police, regional governments, Hiswana Migas, petrol\nstation operators and transport partners so that fuel distribution can\nproceed more quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n
In addition to ensuring smooth distribution, Pertamina continues to\nmonitor stock and deliveries at all petrol stations.<\/p>\n
If demand increases in a particular area, supply adjustments are\nimmediately made through the Reguler Alternatif Emergency (RAE) scheme\nto maintain fuel availability for the public.<\/p>\n
The improvement in fuel distribution conditions is being felt\ndirectly by residents.<\/p>\n
Samsuri (60), an online motorcycle taxi driver in Medan, said the\nqueues for refuelling that previously occurred have now reduced and\nservice at petrol stations has become smoother.<\/p>\n
\u201cA few days ago I urged the public to be patient because there were\nindeed disruptions. Now conditions are far better. Queues have reduced\nand refuelling is smoother. I have experienced it myself. Thank you to\nthe government and Pertamina, who keep working so the situation keeps\nimproving,\u201d said Samsuri.<\/p>\n
As part of efforts to ensure fuel distribution continues to run\noptimally, the Executive General Manager of Pertamina Patra Niaga\nSumbagut, together with the Head of BPH Migas, also conducted a direct\ninspection of petrol station operations in Binjai.<\/p>\n
The inspection was carried out to observe service conditions in the\nfield and to ensure that fuel supply and distribution to the public\ncontinue to run well.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pertamina-optimises-fuel-distribution-in-medan-queues-return-to-normal-1784382717", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
