JAKARTA - PT Pertamina (Persero) maintains its commitment to distributing subsidized fuel oil (BBM) to fishermen. Moreover, the need for subsidized fuel for fishermen reaches 3.4 million kiloliters (KL) per year.

The Main Director of PT Pertamina (Persero), Nicke Widyawati, said that three things were needed so that subsidized fuel oil (BBM) for fishermen was properly distributed. First, maintain availability.

"So from this figure what is needed is included in the quota for 2023, so the availability is there", Nicke said, quoting Antara, Thursday, February 2.

Second, continued Nicke, related to accessibility. One of them is the signing of a cooperation agreement between the Directorate General of Capture Fisheries and Pertamina Patra Niaga at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) building.

"With the new zone, we ensure that these allocations are more precise so that accessibility for these fishermen can be guaranteed", she said.

The fuel distribution will be carried out in six fishing zones in Indonesia so that it is right on target.

Nicke said that for 2023, Pertamina is targeting to add 30 Fisherman Fuel Filling Stations (SPBN) for the need for subsidized fuel for fishermen.

"This year we are targeting 30, a total of 387 special gas stations operating today for fishermen. We will add at least 30 more this year. With the zoning, we make sure all fishermen will have access", said Nicke.

Next, regarding the price. Where Pertamina ensures that the price will be the same throughout Indonesia.

"Earlier the Minister of SOEs said that the subsidized price per litre was given IDR 6,500, and we made sure that in all SPBN the price is a subsidized price, the price is the same throughout Indonesia", she said.

In addition, she also hopes that subsidized fuel is truly on target through data synchronization from the KKP and fishermen's cooperatives.

"In addition, we also ensure that subsidized fuel is enjoyed by the right parties. So, fuel is right on target with data from the KKP, and data from fishermen's cooperatives. We want to ensure that the names for each of these fishermen are correct and also the type of ship is also by its designation and with this digitization, we ensure that subsidies are more targeted", she said.

Previously, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) collaborated with the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) and PT Pertamina Patra Niaga for subsidized fuel oil (BBM) needs for fishermen in Indonesia.

This was stated in the signing of a joint agreement between the KKP and the Ministry of SOE as well as a cooperation agreement between the Directorate General of Capture Fisheries and Pertamina Patra Niaga.
