Pertamina Chief Commissioner Inspects East Java Energy Facilities to Ensure Smooth Services

PT Pertamina (Persero) consistently maintains the smooth supply of energy throughout Indonesia by implementing reliable operations of its energy distribution support infrastructure. To ensure the operational reliability of infrastructure in the East Java region, Pertamina’s Chief Commissioner, Mochamad Iriawan, inspected several operational facilities of Pertamina Patra Niaga, namely the Aviation Fuel Terminal (AFT) Juanda and the Integrated Terminal (IT) Surabaya, on Monday (29/6). The visit aimed to ensure strategic energy infrastructure operates reliably to maintain smooth energy services for the public, particularly amidst increased mobility during the school holiday season. According to Iriawan, the reliability of energy supply is a crucial foundation for economic activity, transportation, defence, and public services. Therefore, supervision of strategic energy facilities must be carried out consistently to ensure operations run safely, reliably, and in accordance with corporate governance standards. “I want to ensure the readiness of all operational lines, which are the lifeblood of the economy and government in the Eastern Indonesia region, are ready to perform their functions optimally,” said Iriawan. At AFT Juanda, the Chief Commissioner verified the readiness of avtur supply, facility reliability, and service quality for airlines so that the public’s flight needs during the holiday period can be met without hindrance. He also encouraged the acceleration of infrastructure and human resource readiness in welcoming the implementation of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as part of efforts to support energy independence and Indonesia’s Net Zero Emission target. “The task of maintaining avtur supply demands zero tolerance for stock shortages or service interruptions. Juanda must be one of the front lines in supporting the national energy transformation,” he stressed. Dimas Bagus Satriyo Wibowo of Aviation Fuel Terminal Juanda PT Pertamina Patra Niaga explained that AFT Juanda is a strategic facility supporting the national aviation sector in the East Java region. The terminal has a capacity of 20,000 kilolitres, supported by 8 storage tanks, 7 hydrant dispensers, nine special avtur refueller trucks, and is reinforced with 49 operators. AFT Juanda also serves as a supply point for five other AFTs serving airports in East Java, namely AFT Iswahjudi (Madiun), Abdulrachman Saleh (Malang), Dhoho (Kediri), Notohadinegoro (Jember), and Blimbingsari (Banyuwangi).
