Pertamina Links Long Fuel Queues in Jember to Delivery Schedule Changes
Long lines have formed at several fuel stations in Jember, in East Java, Indonesia.
Pertamina Patra Niaga says the queues are due to changes in fuel delivery schedules and distribution patterns, not reduced shipments.
The company links the adjustments partly to ongoing geopolitical conflict affecting schedules and tanker arrivals.
Deliveries to southern Jember pose extra challenges because the area is far from the fuel terminal in Banyuwangi.
Pertamina says fuel stocks are being maintained to meet local needs, and it is monitoring supplies and station operations.
It has urged people to buy only what they need and not to panic over unverified claims of shortages or price rises.
The company is also working with police and transport officials to manage traffic around the stations.
Pertamina Patra Niaga said changes to fuel delivery schedules caused long queues at several petrol stations in Jember, East Java.
The company said fuel shipments had not been reduced and that stocks remained available to meet public demand.
Ongoing geopolitical conflicts affected delivery schedules and patterns, including tanker arrivals.
Jember’s southern areas pose distribution challenges because they are far from the Tanjungwangi fuel terminal in Banyuwangi.
Pertamina urged people not to panic-buy and said it was monitoring supplies and coordinating with police and transport officials to manage traffic.
