"The team will monitor the distribution of subsidized fuel oils and LPG," Pertamina sales area manager for West Kalimantan Ibnu Chouldum said here Sunday.
Ibnu said the team would convey a routine report to the company to see if the distribution of subsidized fuel oils and LPG ran smoothly.
He assured that fuel oil supplies during the fasting month of Ramadhan and Idul Fitri festivities this year were safe. Pertamina would increase fuel oil supplies to the province 15 percent ahead of the festivities.
"Pertamina also has calculated fuel demand in the province 15 days before and after the festivities," he said.
He noted that over the past few days there had been long queues at a number of gasoline stations in West Kalimantan for fuel oils, and therefore, traffic around the gasoline stations was congested.
"To avoid traffic congestion, (the additional supplies) are distributed to a number of gasoline stations particularly those found in West Kalimantan`s provincial capital of Pontianak," he said.
To supervise the distribution of subsidized fuels, participation from all sides were needed to achieve optimum results, he said.
West Kalimantan`s quota of subsidized fuels for this year consists of 409,803 kiloliters of gasoline, 287,508 kiloliters of diesel oil and 110,408 kiloliters of kerosene.
