Bali extends fuel-terminal and petrol-station operations amid shortages

Denpasar — Bali Governor Wayan Koster and Pertamina agreed on October 14, 2026, to accelerate fuel distribution by gradually extending operations at the Manggis and Sanggaran terminals and selected petrol stations to 24 hours.

Why it matters: Residents, workers, businesses and visitors may face changing petrol-station hours, delivery traffic and work or school arrangements from October 15 to 17.

The measures followed continued queues at petrol stations across Bali. Pertamina also increased operational staffing and coordinated with the Indonesian military and police to support fuel deliveries and manage traffic around stations, according to Bali Post.

The governor had set work-from-home arrangements for government agencies and other covered institutions from October 15 to 17 to support fuel distribution, while Badung ordered online learning for schools during the same period, Detik Bali reported.

Supply and distribution measures

Pertamina scheduled tanker arrivals through the Manggis and Sanggaran terminals on October 12, 14 and 16, with a combined planned volume of 26,200 kilolitres, according to reporting citing the company.

A separate report said a tanker had delivered 18,000 kilolitres of Pertalite and 2,500 kilolitres of Pertamax, while further deliveries were planned as the company worked to restore supplies and reduce queues.

Authorities prioritised deliveries to Denpasar and Badung, where Bali Post reported 92 petrol stations in total: 54 in Denpasar and 38 in Badung. Pertamina also increased its tanker fleet from 90 vehicles under normal conditions to 105.

The extended operating arrangements are intended to speed the movement of fuel from terminals to petrol stations while additional deliveries arrive. Pertamina said supply and distribution were being assessed according to stock levels and local consumption.
