Pertamina Says Fuel Distribution in Bali Is Gradually Returning to Normal

PT Pertamina Patra Niaga says fuel distribution in Bali is gradually returning to normal as the company works to strengthen supplies across the island. Kitty Andhora, the company’s vice-president of corporate communications, said Pertamina petrol stations in Bali were operating 24 hours a day to ease queues, alongside increased supplies and more efficient use of tanker fleets.

“These efforts are beginning to show positive results, with services at a number of petrol stations gradually stabilising. Pertamina Patra Niaga is continuing its recovery measures to ensure that the public’s fuel needs are met,” Kitty said in a written statement on Friday, 16 October 2026.

On the supply side, Pertamina Patra Niaga is managing the gradual arrival of fuel-carrying vessels between 14 and 17 October 2026. Of the approximately 57.9 million litres in additional fuel supplies planned, about 19 million litres have arrived at the Sangar Fuel Terminal and Manggis Integrated Terminal.

The remaining supplies are scheduled to arrive in stages over the next two to three days. They comprise Pertalite and Pertamax, intended to strengthen fuel availability and ensure smoother deliveries to petrol stations in Bali.

To speed up distribution, Pertamina Patra Niaga has deployed 108 tankers, supported by 465 tanker crew members. The Sanggaran Fuel Terminal and Manggis Integrated Terminal are also operating 24 hours a day to optimise fuel receipt and distribution.

In addition, 66 petrol stations in Denpasar and Badung are operating around the clock to broaden access for the public and help ease queues.

“We are continuing to optimise fuel supplies and distribution in Bali by increasing deliveries, ensuring tanker readiness, and operating terminals and petrol stations 24 hours a day. Services in several areas are now gradually stabilising. However, recovery efforts will continue to make deliveries smoother and ensure that public needs are properly met,” Kitty said.
