"We ensure that preparations for delivery from upstream to DPPU and Fuel Terminal, after which transportation to gas stations can be carried out properly," said Tutuka in a statement, in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Monday, January 1.

"We also see that the stock is sufficient for the next few days, the term is coverage days. Later at certain stages we can supply again, so coverage days is sufficient to be able to send further, so that we can continue to supply. So far, the stock is safe," he also said.

Proses penyaluran energi di NTT dipastikan baik, sebab sebanyak 6 DPPU, 8 Fuel Terminal, 129 SP9 SPDN, 11 SPDN, 35 Pertashop, 41 Agent Minyak Tanah, 5,322 Pangkalan Minyala Tanah, 5 Agent LPG NPSO, dan 334 Outlet LPG NPSO disiapkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat yang tersebar di Pulau Timor, Pulau Sumba, serta Pulau Flores, Lembata, dan Alor.

After the DPPU and Fuel Terminal, the Director General of Oil and Gas and their entourage then conducted a visit to the 5485106 Oesapa gas station.

Seeing the development of consumption as much as 5-15 percent, Pertamina Patra Niaga Riva Siahaan said that his party also added stock both at the Fuel Terminal, as well as at the supply point, such as at gas stations which are being reviewed.

Pertamina Patra Niaga has coordinated and is trying to gather all information related to activities during the new Christmas, following an increase in fuel consumption, especially in the transportation sector.

"Pertamina Patra Niaga is increasing and thickening stock as well as fuel readiness, both oil and LPG, although the LPG here has not been converted, but an increase in stock of 5-15 percent has been carried out," he said.

In addition, they also carry out Pertamina Siaga activities, where Pertamina continues to monitor all activities and also areas that are tourist destinations and continue to monitor if natural disasters occur," said Riva again.
