Shortage of diesel fuel?
Shortage of diesel fuel?
Warta Kota
Jakartans have faced frequent shortages of diesel fuel in the
last months and this has yet to be overcome, despite being
discussed by the city government and the House of
Representatives.
This makes me wonder, as Indonesia ranks high among petroleum
producing countries. Diesel fuel is frequently unavailable in
several gas stations in certain areas in Jakarta like Otista and
Cililitan, in East Jakarta, especially at night.
The shortage has led to the inability of these gas stations to
supply fuel to buses at the nearby Kampung Melayu and Cililitan
bus terminals.
I hope that the state-owned oil company Pertamina, which is
experienced in controlling fuel distribution, will be able to
overcome this shortage.
