Accelerating Distribution to 3T Regions, Pertamina Patra Niaga Deploys Sea Logistics Fleet

Jakarta – Subholding Downstream Pertamina, PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, is committed to continuously optimising national energy distribution to island regions and underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost (3T) areas, which present their own geographical challenges.

The President Director of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, Mars Ega Legowo, stated that as an archipelagic nation, Indonesia has unique energy distribution characteristics, where access to various regions is not always reachable by land routes.

“In this context, the sea logistics fleet serves as the main connector ensuring that energy can be channelled from supply points to various destination regions throughout Indonesia,” said Mars Ega in his statement on Sunday, 5 April 2026.

To date, energy distribution operations, particularly to reach 3T regions, are supported by 148 vessels. This consists of 139 oil fuel transport vessels and 9 LPG transport vessels. This fleet serves distribution to 57 3T regions scattered across various parts of Indonesia, from Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Nusa Tenggara, Maluku, to Papua.

Mars Ega stated that the readiness of the sea logistics fleet is a key factor in maintaining energy distribution to continue reaching all regions of Indonesia.

“Energy distribution in Indonesia faces diverse geographical challenges. Therefore, we continue to maintain the readiness of the sea logistics fleet so that energy supply can reach various regions, including island areas and 3T, in a sustainable manner,” said Ega.

The presence of the vessel fleet in the management of the captive business of the Downstream Subholding, according to him, plays a role in ensuring the smooth distribution of energy from supply sources to various regions of Indonesia, including areas with limited access.

With this support, energy can still be channelled to support community activities and the economy in the regions.

All energy distribution activities are carried out with strict HSSE (Health, Safety, Security & Environment) standards to ensure operational safety while maintaining the reliability of national energy distribution.

“Through integrated management of the sea logistics fleet, Pertamina Patra Niaga continues to support national energy distribution to reach all regions of Indonesia, from major cities to island areas and 3T,” he said.
