Pertamina Patra Niaga Ensures Energy Distribution Readiness Ahead of Ramadan Migration

Semarang – Pertamina Patra Niaga has ensured the readiness of its energy distribution chain, spanning maritime transport, tanker vehicle distribution, and petrol station services ahead of the 2026 Eid migration period.

This was carried out partly through an operational inspection ahead of the Eid al-Fitr migration peak in Semarang, Central Java. The visit, part of the Ramadan Safari 1447 H programme, was conducted by Arif Yunianto, Director of Fleet Logistics at Pertamina Patra Niaga, alongside Bagus Agung Rahadiansyah, Director of Finance at Pertamina Patra Niaga, aboard the LPG carrier Gas Walio docked at Tanjung Mas Port in Semarang.

During the visit, the Pertamina Patra Niaga management team greeted Captain La Ode Abdul Syawal and the entire vessel crew whilst inspecting operational facilities including the Cargo Control Room (CCR) for monitoring LPG loading and unloading operations, the Engine Control Room (ECR) as the ship’s engine control centre, and checks on the main engine and captain’s quarters.

On the occasion, Arif Yunianto explained that maritime transport plays a crucial role in maintaining national energy security, particularly for Indonesia as an archipelago nation.

“Currently, the Downstream Subholding operates no fewer than 345 fleet units and can continue to increase according to needs, whether for transporting crude oil, fuel products, or LPG. Around 60% of LPG distribution in Central Java is supported by vessels like this. Indonesia itself is an archipelago nation with more than 17,000 islands, so the role of ships is a lifeline that cannot be broken,” Arif stated.

Meanwhile, Bagus Agung Rahadiansyah, Director of Finance at Pertamina Patra Niaga, expressed appreciation to the vessel crew for their significant contribution in ensuring energy reaches all regions of Indonesia.

“The crew members on this ship are unsung heroes in our national energy ecosystem. You are the ones bringing this energy to Indonesia, making all efforts to ensure energy availability reach the community and sustain Indonesia’s economy,” he said.
