Bali — Two fuel tankers berthed in Bali on Friday, Oct. 16, 2026, carrying a combined 20 million litres of Pertalite. MT Pangkalan Brandan delivered 16 million litres to Integrated Terminal Manggis, while MT Asian Rigel delivered 4 million litres to Fuel Terminal Sanggaran.
The deliveries add supply as vehicles have queued at fuel stations in several parts of Bali. PT Pertamina Patra Niaga said the two terminals were operating around the clock to support distribution.
Why it matters to Bali fuel users
The shipment is intended to strengthen Pertalite availability across the island. Pertalite is a subsidised gasoline commonly used by private motorists, so the additional supply is relevant to residents, visitors renting vehicles and other road users who depend on petrol stations during their stay.
Distribution from the terminals was supported by 108 tanker trucks and 465 tanker-truck crew members. Separate reporting said Pertamina Patra Niaga was targeting Pertalite stocks of up to 48 million litres on Oct. 17, 2026.
The deliveries followed elevated distribution in the preceding days. From Oct. 13 through Oct. 15, average Pertalite distribution to Bali fuel stations was reported at about 3 million litres a day, above average daily consumption of about 2.2 million litres.
Both Integrated Terminal Manggis and Fuel Terminal Sanggaran were scheduled to continue operating 24 hours to help move fuel from the terminals to stations. The reports did not establish that the deliveries had immediately ended all queues.
