Pertamina Chief Commissioner Inspects Energy Facilities in East Java

The President Commissioner of PT Pertamina (Persero), Mochamad Iriawan, inspected several Pertamina Patra Niaga operational facilities, namely the Juanda Aviation Fuel Terminal (AFT) and the Surabaya Integrated Terminal (IT) in East Java on Monday (29/06).

The visit aimed to ensure that strategic energy infrastructure operates reliably to maintain smooth energy services for the public, particularly amidst increasing mobility during the school holiday season.

According to Iri_awan, the reliability of energy supply is a vital foundation for economic activity, transport, defence, and public services. Therefore, supervision of strategic energy facilities must be conducted consistently to ensure operations are safe, reliable, and in accordance with corporate governance standards.

“I want to ensure the readiness of all operational lines that serve as the lifeblood of the economy and government in the eastern regions of Indonesia, and are prepared to perform their functions optimally,” Iriawan stated in an official release on Tuesday (30/06/2026).

At AFT Juanda, the President Commissioner ensured the readiness of avtur (aviation fuel) supply, facility reliability, and service quality for airlines to ensure that public flight needs during the holiday period can be met without obstacles.

He also encouraged the acceleration of infrastructure and human resource readiness in anticipation of the implementation of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as part of the efforts to support energy independence and Indonesia’s Net Zero Emission targets.

“The task of maintaining avtur supply demands zero tolerance for stock shortages or service interruptions. Juanda must be one of the frontrunners in supporting the national energy transformation,” he emphasised.

Dimas Bagus Satriyo Wibowo from PT Pertamina Patra Niaga’s Aviation Fuel Terminal Juanda explained that AFT Juanda is a strategic facility supporting the national aviation sector in the East Java region. This terminal has a capacity of 20,000 kilolitres, supported by 8 storage tanks, 7 hydrant dispensers, nine specialised avtur refuelling tankers, and is reinforced by 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).

On the same occasion, Iriawan also visited the Surabaya Integrated Terminal, one of the largest integrated terminals in Indonesia. He paid close attention to the infrastructure readiness and the distribution network readiness for B50 biodisel, which is scheduled to be launched in early July 2026.

Furthermore, Iriawan emphasised that the maintenance of strategic assets, such as storage tanks, jetties, and pipeline networks, must be continuously maintained in prime condition to ensure smooth energy distribution under all conditions.

At the end of the visit, the President Commissioner reiterated that all operational targets and business transformations must be carried out by prioritising Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) aspects. He asserted that the Corporate Life Saving Rules (CLSR) culture must be part of the work behaviour of every Pertamina employee to protect workers, the community, and state assets.

“The CLSR culture must be embedded in daily behaviour to protect state assets and ensure workers return home safely,” he concluded.
