PT Pertamina Patra Niaga is strengthening the reliability of\nIndonesia\u2019s national energy distribution through the optimisation of a\nSmartship technology-based fleet monitoring system. A total of 70\nvessels have been integrated into the system, enabling real-time\noperational monitoring of ships from shore-based monitoring centres.<\/p>\n
Arif Yunianto, Director of Pertamina Patra Niaga\u2019s Fleet Logistics,\nstated that this digitalisation initiative forms part of efforts to\nimprove operational efficiency whilst ensuring smooth energy\ndistribution across all regions of Indonesia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough the integrated monitoring system, we can track vessel\nmovements, operational conditions, and external factors such as weather\nin real-time,\u201d Arif explained.<\/p>\n
The Smartship system is an Internet of Things (IoT)-based technology\ninstalled on vessels to continuously transmit operational data to\ncontrol centres. Through this technology, the company can monitor\nvarious parameters, from vessel position and navigation routes to\nweather conditions and operational indicators such as vessel speed that\naffects efficiency.<\/p>\n
Of the total integrated vessels, 22 ships have been equipped with\nadvanced monitoring systems capable of tracking data more\ncomprehensively, including navigation, engine performance, and cargo and\nbunker activities.<\/p>\n
Moving forward, the number of vessels with this advanced technology\nwill continue to increase. Beyond enhancing operational visibility, data\nfrom the monitoring system is also utilised to support preventive\nmaintenance, allowing potential disruptions to be detected earlier.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the vessel fleet also employs the ShipManager platform\nfrom DNV, which supports operational management through various modules\nincluding technical maintenance, safety (HSSE), procurement, and crew\nmanagement.<\/p>\n
The integration of digital technology, vessel sensors, and\ncloud-based systems enables all fleet activities to be monitored through\na comprehensive dashboard.<\/p>\n
In supporting energy distribution during the Ramadan and Eid 2026\nperiod, these vessels form part of 345 fleet units deployed to ensure\nsafe and timely distribution of petroleum and liquefied petroleum gas\nthroughout Indonesia.<\/p>\n
PT Pertamina International Shipping (PIS) has confirmed that two of\nits four vessels have successfully departed the Middle East region. The\ntwo tanker ships owned by PT Pertamina International Shipping have moved\naway from the Strait of Hormuz area amid escalating Middle East\nconflicts.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the Indonesian Embassy in\nTehran is undertaking diplomatic steps with the Iranian government to\nassist Pertamina\u2019s tanker vessels. The Indonesian Foreign Ministry is\nintensifying dialogue with Iranian authorities to ensure the safety of\ntwo Pertamina tanker vessels detained in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n
The government is pursuing a negotiation approach to secure the\nrelease of two tanker vessels belonging to Pertamina International\nShipping that remain in the Strait of Hormuz area.<\/p>\n
Amidst growing complexity in Indonesia\u2019s energy distribution,\nstrengthening fleet standards has become a strategic necessity\ninseparable from energy supply sustainability.<\/p>\n
Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia reported\nthat progress on electricity recovery and energy distribution in\ndisaster-affected regions of Sumatra is proceeding in phases. Flooding\nconditions have caused certain access routes to be disrupted,\nnecessitating adjustments to distribution patterns.<\/p>\n
Road Traffic Control (RTC) and Remote Asset Daily Activity Recorder\n(RADAR) facilities are important for delivering safe, efficient, and\nsustainable energy distribution operations. Two new operational points\nhave been added, specifically at Integrated Terminal Panjang in Lampung\nProvince and Fuel Terminal Tanjung Pandan in the Bangka Belitung\nIslands.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/pertamina-patra-niaga-optimises-smartship-to-monitor-energy-distribution-1773751939", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
