TAPANULI - The management of PT Pertamina (Persero) has sold Pertamina Dex in Pandan, Central Tapanuli and Pertamax in Gunungsitoli City, Nias Island to meet consumer demand in the two regions of North Sumatra.

"The two types of BBK (special fuel) have been marketed in the two regions since last Saturday, August 7," said Unit Manager of Communication Relations & CSR for the North Sumatra Region (Sumbagut), Taufikurachman in Medan, Antara, Sunday, August 8.

The marketing of BBK in Central Tapanuli and Gunungsitoli, Nias is to bring Pertamina's superior products closer to the public and at the same time increase the BBK sales network.

Pertamina Dex is the best diesel fuel in Indonesia that meets Euro 3 standards. In addition, Pertamina Dex has a Cetane Number 53 with a sulfur content below 300 parts per million (ppm) so that the engine is more maintained and environmentally friendly.

He explained that Pertamina Dex was supplied from the Fuel Terminal (FT) Medan Group. The sales of Pertamax in Gunungsitoli City, Nias Island, were also to meet the needs of the community. There is also the supply of Pertamax, he said, from the Sibolga Fuel Terminal

"Following the marketing of Pertamax in Nias, Pertamina will build five Pertashop points as Pertamax distributors on the island," said Taufikurachman.

He asserted, as a state-owned company, Pertamina is committed to distributing the best energy to remote areas of the country.
