JAKARTA - PT Pertamina Patra Niaga (PPN) will carry out a price operation in Aceh to stabilize the price of LPG which soared after the natural disaster of flash floods some time ago.

This was done after the West Aceh Police officers reprimanded and warned a number of retail fuel traders and three kilogram LPG who sold goods above the government-set Maximum Retail Price (MRP).

"This market operation will suppress speculators who take advantage of the shortage. For example, he takes (LPG) and sells it at a higher price," said President Director of Pertamina Patra Niaga, Mars Ega Legowo, at a press conference at the BPH Migas office, Monday, December 15.
"We are not going to allow this to happen. "Kami tidak akan membiarkan ini terjadi.
"It is said that Ega, in fact, not all areas in Aceh have experienced a shortage of LPG supplies. This only happens in some areas such as Banda Aceh, Bireun, Pidie, and some areas of Meulaboh or South West Aceh.
"We are not going to allow this to happen. "Kami tidak akan membiarkan ini terjadi.
"So our stock of LPG in Aceh Province is the largest in Lhokseumawe. In Lhokseumawe it is in Arun. So the line from Lhokseumawe to Banda Aceh is cut off so this disrupts the supply of LPG from Lhokseumawe to Banda Aceh and its surroundings," said Mars.
"We are not going to allow this to happen. "Kami tidak akan membiarkan ini terjadi.
"We are also trying to solve this problem by making a new alternative supply route, namely using the sea route so that it takes longer than the land route," said Ega.
"We are not going to allow this to happen. "Kami tidak akan membiarkan ini terjadi.
"We are currently operating two Roro ships that take the Lhokseumawe to Banda Aceh route. And we will add one more ship as well, there are three Roro ships that will supply elpiji from Lhokseumawe to Banda Aceh. Hopefully this can add to the supply to Banda Aceh," he continued.
"Ke depan, lanjut dia, pihaknya juga berencana menambah sembilan truk tangki ke Lhokseumawe untuk tambahan pasokan ke Banda Aceh dan sekitarnya.
English:
"We will also send five tanker trucks from Dumai and West Java to Lhokseumawe. This is intended to increase supplies to Banda Aceh.
"We are also planning to add nine tanker trucks to Lhokseumawe for additional supplies to Banda Aceh and its surroundings," he continued.
"We hope that the community in Banda Aceh and its surroundings will be a little patient," he said.
