Overview
- Distribution slowed when a tanker had trouble discharging its cargo, which officials say delayed deliveries across parts of Denpasar and southern Badung.
- Pertamina and the governor say a more than 22 million-litre shipment has arrived and should cover up to seven days of demand while distribution is restored.
- Officials have mandated round-the-clock station operations and continuous depot runs to reduce long queues and speed allocation to hard-hit areas.
- Motorists and tourists reported waits of several hours and cancelled plans as Pertalite and, in some places, Pertamax ran low at many service stations.
- Bali relies on shipped-in fuel, which makes the island vulnerable to tanker and depot problems, and authorities are investigating the cause while working to prevent repeat disruptions.
