Summary

A fuel shortage in Bali has resulted in long queues at petrol stations across the island, affecting residents and tourists. The shortage was caused by distribution bottlenecks and high demand, with some stations running out of fuel entirely. In response, Pertamina has deployed multiple tanker shipments totaling tens of millions of liters of fuel, with vessels unloading at terminals in Denpasar and Karangasem District. The company has implemented 24-hour operations at terminals and selected gas stations, deployed over 100 tankers with hundreds of crew members, and collaborated with military and local authorities. The Bali provincial administration ordered government offices, schools, and state enterprises to implement work-from-home and online learning policies to reduce traffic and facilitate fuel distribution. Long lines of motorbikes and cars remain visible at petrol stations, and some drivers have sought alternative refueling methods including purchasing gasoline from street vendors.
