Pertamina ensures that fuel supply is safe in Jember, the gas station rope starts to break down
Jakarta – The rope of fuel purchases at gas stations (30/7) was not seen as busy as the previous days in the first week of closing the Gumitir route which began on July 24, 2025. The car wheel was about 15 meters, the motorcycle riding was about 25 meters and the community stood in the row in an orderly and regular way. Communications of the area manager, relationships and CSR Pertamina Patra Niaga Jatimbalinus, Sunday Raded said that Pertamina provided the fuel needs at the gas station concerned, including Jember. “All the scenarios in the massive field we do thank God, the rope is gradually unraveled and the gas station works optimally. It is a tangible result of alternative supplies that maximize us to flood the fuel needs in Jeember and surrounding areas,” Ahad explained on Thursday (7/31/2025). Browse to continue with the content is known, the impact of the closure of the Gumitir track has an impact on changes in large loaded vehicle routes, including pertamina tankers. The road that was originally Banyuwangi-Gumitir-Jember became Banyuwangi-situbondo-Arak-Bondowoso-December. As a result, the tank car mobility, which usually only lasts 4 hours for round time hours (RTH) in 11 hours, experienced a drastic change. This condition then affects the ‘panic purchase’ of the community with the issue of fuel scarcity. In fact, the energy supply is still safe, but is indeed limited by access to the distribution of tanks on the street. A few days in the first week after closing the Gumitir road, the impact of ‘panic purchases’ of the community caused a rope to buy fuel that clapped at the gas station with a length of up to 2 kilo meters. The softening of efforts to provide the best service was made by Pertamina by its subsidiary, Pertamina Patra Niaga. The transfer of offer was carried out as a mitigation distribution in Jember and surrounding areas, namely from Surabaya and Malang, including cross regions, ranging from Semarang, Boyolali, Rewulu to Maos, where the normal distribution of the BBM terminals in Banyuwangi came. Related to the state of ‘panic buying’ itself, also becomes an unrest for other communities. Rizki, 21, one of the consumers of the Jember community, expressed his complaints related to the community that performed many ‘panic purchasing’ actions. “Serious ropes here are clearly seen because of the two most important factors. The first closure of the Gumitir road itself and the second factor is the ‘panic purchase’ community. In addition, it must be a solution to the elements that take the opportunity for this situation,” he said. Furthermore, Sunday told the people of Jember that it was expected to buy bbm. “Currently, the process of normalizing the spread of fuel for the Jeember and surrounding areas is insisting that people buy fuel if necessary. Don’t make ‘panic’ ‘because we make sure the stock is safe and fulfilled for the distribution process,” Ahad concluded.
