Pertamina to Immediately Send Fuel Supplies to BP AKR and Vivo Gas Stations

KatadataOTO – BP AKR and Vivo are still experiencing a fuel oil (BBM) shortage. This condition has been ongoing since August 2025.

Pertamina has spoken out regarding the latest news on additional import quotas for private gas stations (SPBU).

“Still waiting for the final (negotiation), while Pertamina's cargo orders are on schedule,” said Roberth MV Dumatubun, Acting Corporate Secretary of Pertamina Patra Niaga to Antara, on Tuesday (14/10).

Roberth explained that until now, Pertamina continues to communicate with the relevant parties.

They are trying to complete the fuel import process for both BP AKR and Vivo in the near future.

Moreover, BP AKR and Vivo had previously followed up on a fuel import cooperation with the state-owned enterprise.

“Several private business entities are already in the negotiation stage with the terms and conditions that have been submitted. We are trying to help from the supply side,” Roberth continued.

Next, Pertamina, along with the private gas stations, will make an agreement regarding a statement document in order to maintain good corporate governance (GCG) and regulations.

For example, statements on anti-monopoly, money laundering, bribery, and others.

Then, after reaching an agreement with the private business entity regarding the procurement winner, the commercial aspects and joint inspections will be discussed.

“The final stage is the cargo shipment, which has been agreed upon for around the third week of October,” Roberth added.

The Pertamina official emphasized that the process is proceeding with the agreement of the private gas stations.

It was explained that the cargo shipment is under one single procurement. So it is not separated between business entities.

BP AKR has stated its commitment to immediately restore its fuel stock. They want to ensure the fulfillment of the base fuel supply, which covers three aspects of governance.

These include compliance, specification suitability, as well as quality and commercial standards.

“Our focus remains the same, which is to ensure consistent product quality and provide the best service for customers,” read the BP-AKR management announcement on a separate occasion.

Shell and Exxon Still Unclear

On the other hand, Exxon and Shell have not continued discussions regarding additional import quotas for the remainder of 2025.

Shell needs to coordinate with its head office. Meanwhile, Exxon will discuss its needs for November.

Considering Exxon still has an adequate fuel stock. So it can still serve its customers.
