Two Pertamina Vessels Stranded Following Strait of Hormuz Closure, Crew Condition Update

Two vessels operated by PT Pertamina International Shipping have become stranded following Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz. PT Pertamina (Persero) has provided an update on the condition of the crews aboard both vessels.

The two vessels in question are the Pertamina Pride and Gamsunoro. Both vessels are currently located in the Arabian Gulf and have not yet entered the Strait of Hormuz itself. However, both vessels must pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which remains closed by Iran, in order to exit the Arabian Gulf.

When asked whether the Pertamina Pride and Gamsunoro were the vessels stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, Corporate Secretary of PT Pertamina (Persero) Arya Dwi Paramita confirmed: “The Pertamina Pride and Gamsunoro are stranded in the Arabian Gulf/Persian Gulf and are unable to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.”

Arya stated that both the vessels and their crews are currently under observation and are safe and secure. “The two PIS vessels, the Pertamina Pride and Gamsunoro, are currently located in the Arabian Gulf, with both vessels and crews in a safe and secure condition,” he explained.

Pertamina is ensuring real-time monitoring of both crew and vessel conditions. “We are also maintaining close coordination with maritime authorities and local officials to ensure the safety and security of all crew members and cargo aboard the vessels,” Arya stated.

Arya noted that at least 345 vessels operating under the management of the Pertamina Group support energy distribution across both international waters and Indonesian territorial waters. “In addition to these vessels, our energy supply chain and distribution network remain solid across both international and Indonesian waters, supported by at least 345 vessels managed by the Pertamina Group,” he said.
