JAKARTA - The Oil Fuel Terminal (TBBM) or Pertamina Plumpang Depot will be moved to land owned by PT Pelindo after the fire that occurred a few days ago. This step is considered a medium and long term solution.
Then, what happened to the Depo Plumpang building now and in the future?
Special Staff to the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Arya Sinulingga said the Pertamina Plumpang Depot will still carry out its function as a storage area for fuel until later officially moving to Pelindo's land, in Kalibaru, North Jakarta.
Furthermore, Arya said the Pertamina Plumpang Depot will continue to operate for the next three years, until the new depot is completed.
"The Pertamina depot will be relocated. Right, there is still a Plumpang Depot there for the next 3 years. You can't just move suddenly, right?" he told reporters when met in Sarinah, Jakarta, Thursday, March 9.
Regarding the fate of the old building after the Pertamina Plumpang Depot was officially moved, Arya said that his party handed it over to PT Pertamina (Persero). The reason is, the land and buildings are Pertamina's assets.
"Yes, it's up to Pertamina. It belongs to Pertamina. Who does it belong to? If it belongs to Pertamina, what do Pertamina like to be, "he explained.
But what is certain, said Arya, is that the transfer of the Pertamina Pelumpang Depot will not use the state budget (APBN).
"What is certain is not using the APBN. Use Pertamina's money, yes, that's Pertamina's business," he said.
Regarding how much Pertamina has prepared to rebuild Depo on Pelindo's land, Arya is still reluctant to mention the amount.
"We have predicted, yes, just wait," he said.
