Facing the New Year, Pertamina Strengthens Pertashop to Supply Fuel & LPG on Difficult Tracks

Tasikmalaya, December 29, 2022 - Pertamina continues to strengthen Pertashop to supply fuel and LPG in areas with difficult access. Pertashop is Pertamina's mainstay for distributing fuel to rural areas and areas with disaster potential during the Christmas and 2023 New Year's (Nataru) holidays.

Director of Logistics & Infrastructure of Pertamina, Erry Widiastono Erry, said that Pertashop's presence would strengthen the reliability of fuel and LPG supply and availability in the community, especially on routes with difficult access to petrol stations.

"Currently, we can see that Pertashop is one of the outlets that strengthens the petrol station itself. Therefore, together with petrol stations, Pertashop is expected to help fuel supply reliability in the community," said Erry when directly observing the Pertashop outlet 3P.46109 in Ciheras District, Tasikmalaya Regency, Wednesday (28/12/2022).

Erry appreciated the Pertashop presence, especially on the West Java South Coast Route (Pansela), which is one of the routes that are disaster-prone.

On the same occasion, SVP of Logistics Integration & Optimization of Pertamina, Arief Kurnia Risdianto, conveyed that the Nataru Task Force ensures smooth fuel distribution, especially in areas with quite difficult access.

"The Nataru 2023 Task Force ensures smooth fuel distribution to the community, including those with quite difficult access. We ensure that all stocks at petrol stations or Pertashop are sufficient and ready to be distributed to the public," said Arief.

He ensured that the entire Nataru Task Force Team was ready to serve the community's fuel and LPG needs during the 2023 New Year holidays.

Up until now, in Pansela, covering Garut, Tasikmalaya, and Pangandaran Regencies, there are 7 Pertashops, 11 petrol stations, and 11 PSO LPG Agents.

While in the Bandung Retail Area, there are 20 Motorists, 1 Modular, 8 Pocket Petrol Stations, 53 Standby Petrol Stations, and 4 Lubricant Supporting Outlets.

For Standby Agents & bases, there are 386 Standby LPG PSO Agents, 9,824 Standby LPG Bases, 41 Standby Non-PSO LPG Agents, and 3,162 Standby Non-PSO LPG Sub Agents.
