What happened

Well supportedReported by 6 independent outlets

Fuel supply bottlenecks have affected Bali, Indonesia, with reports of long queues at gas stations. Officials attribute the disruption to delayed tanker unloading and high demand for subsidized gasoline, which has led to panic buying. Pertamina has responded by scheduling additional deliveries, bringing in 57.9 million liters between October 14 and 17.

The disruption affects core distribution logistics for Pertamina. High demand and supply delays put pressure on national energy security and distribution within Indonesia. Pertamina is optimizing operational lines and expanding gas station operating hours to ease congestion.

A prior fuel shortage in Makassar prompted the President to direct immediate action, with Pertamina managing distribution policies.
