JAKARTA - Pertamina's Ramadan and Eid Task Force (Satgas Rafi) through the Sub-Holding Integrated Marine Logistic managed to distribute energy by sea with 302 cargo ships including 180 domestic ships and 24 international ships.
Vice President of Corporate Communication of PT Pertamina (Persero) Fadjar Djoko Santoso said that during the Rafi Task Force, energy needs could be met properly with the support of hundreds of cargo ships on sea routes.
"Distribution is going well, all port operational activities (sandar, freelance, agency) and terminal can all go well," said Fadjar as quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, May 6.
The number of ships during the Rafi 2023 Task Force increased by five vessels from the normal average, namely 297 cargo ships. The additional tonnage occurred in three ships (BBM), one LPG, and one ship avtur.
Overall, the number of fuel transport ships is the largest with 197 ships, followed by LPG 43 ships, crude oil 30 ships, avtur 16 ships, and the rest are black oil carriers, lubricants (PRX), and asphalt.
Fadjar added, during the Rafi 2023 Task Force, Pertamina's cargo ship was also escorted by TNI personnel to improve safety and security.
The increase in cargo surveillance and the ship's bunker operated by the Sub-Holding Integrated Marine Logistics put the TNI on 11 ships. This is to improve security and safety," he said again.
Meanwhile, said Fadjar, during the Rafi 2023 Task Force, the number of land routes increased by 5.6 percent compared to the homecoming and return flow in 2022. This contributed to the increase in fuel consumption, especially gasoline (gasoline) which increased by 6.4 percent compared to the average consumption in March 2023.
On the other hand, consumption of kerosene (gasoil) or diesel for both retail and industrial needs has decreased by about 13 percent from the normal average. The need for LPG and avtur has also decreased slightly compared to the normal average, where LPG decreased by 1 percent and avtur by 0.6 percent.
Hal ini menunjukkan memang pergerakan mudik mayoritas menggunakan transportasi darat. Untuk avtur memang turun dibandingkan konsumsi normal, tetapi dibanding Rafi 2022, peningkatan konsumsi avtur di Satgas Rafi 2023 signifi mencapai 30 persen, ujar Fadjar.
