Indonesia adds seven ships to extend Bali's fuel reserves to 15 days
Indonesia's coordinating minister for downstreaming announced the deployment of seven additional vessels to boost Bali's fuel stocks, aiming to raise reserves from about 12 days to 15 days.
In Denpasar, the coordinating minister for downstreaming and energy transition reported that Bali's fuel reserves, previously covering 11-12 days, had been reduced by shipping constraints, leading to vehicle queues at several stations. To restore a 15-day buffer, he directed Pertamina to increase stocks and sent seven additional ships to the island. Bali stores fuel mainly at terminals in Karangasem District and Denpasar City.
Pertamina, through its subsidiary Pertamina Patra Niaga, supplied an extra 48 million litres of subsidised Pertalite between Oct. 7 and 17, added more tanker trucks, and introduced round-the-clock service at stations. An odd-even licence-plate rationing scheme, ordered by Governor Wayan Koster, ran from Oct. 17 to 19 and was later extended to Oct. 23.
