Fuel Crisis Hits Indonesia's Bali, Triggers Long Lines in Gas Stations for Days
Authorities are working to restore supply as Pertalite and Pertamax run out at many stations and motorists wait for hours.
- Motorists across Bali face lengthy queues at petrol stations as fuel supplies for Pertalite and Pertamax run low, with drivers in Denpasar and Badung reporting hours-long waits and lines spilling onto busy roads.
- Technical issues involving the Pesanggaran depot and Manggis Transit Terminal caused the fuel distribution disruption, according to Ida Bagus Setiawan, head of Bali's Manpower and Energy and Mineral Resources Agency.
- In Jembrana, 14 service stations were affected by the fuel shortage, leaving residents to push stalled motorcycles, while Sergey, a Russian national, reported being sent across the island after waiting in multiple long lines.
- On Tuesday, Bali Governor I Wayan Koster claimed there is enough fuel available for the island, suggesting that panic buying among motorists may be the primary driver of the shortages.
- Similar supply issues occurred in late August, creating ongoing uncertainty for residents and tourists as officials work to normalize fuel distribution across Bali's various locations.
