BATAM - Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional North Sumatra (Sumbagut) added time for distribution to meet the supply of 3 kilograms of LPG gas.

Area Manager Communication, Relation & CSR Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Sumbagut Susanto August Satria said this was because there were one in three Elpiji Bulk Filling Stations (SPBE) in Batam City which were under maintenance improvement, so the work in the SPBE had to be diverted to 2 other stations.

"We are increasing working hours, from the distribution usually until 7 pm, until 11 pm it is still being dismantled. Likewise on Sundays which are usually off, this time we are still working to distribute to bases," said Satria.

He ensured that the supply of 3 kg LPG gas in Batam City was sufficient and available.

Although one of the SPBEs is under repair, it ensures that there is no reduction in quotas or termination of the 3 kg LPG gas supply to the base.

"Hopefully this improvement can be done in the next few weeks, so that it can serve the LPG of public service obligation (PSO). Considering this is a sensitive item, so we want safety to be the first, only then can we do it with others," he said.

Based on the data submitted, the target for the 3 kg LPG quota in 2023 is 61,163 metric tons.

Meanwhile, the realization, which runs until October 7, 2023, has reached 48,103 metric tons.
