Adjust the fuel price throughout the country’s stake is not easy. Natural conditions and infrastructure limitations become a great challenge for Pertamina, as the designated BUMN to run the program.
To deliver fuel from Nabire’s BBM Terminal to Obano’s village can take 10 hours of ground trip plus one hour crossing the lake. On his journey, the fuel truck must run a whirlpool with the safety reasons when crossing the forests of the rimba and passing the path with severe road damage.
Upon arrival at the Paniai Dermaga, the fuel inside the truck was then moved into large drums to take across the Paniai Lake to the Obano Village to then be channeled to the Compact SPBU there.
