The day before the presidential inauguration to seven (19/10), some programs during the campaign Jokowi repeated KompasTV station. One is a program of alternative energy conversion, energy conversion using LPG gas Jokowi offensive. In fact, for the supply in eastern Indonesia only, Pertamina must import from Saudi Aramco. Pertamina was forced to buy the dollar and sold in dollars at a cheaper price. Although at a loss, Pertamina still do it for the sake of national defense.

The words I hear Themselves Directly from the ship's captain and crew-served on the WHO VLGC Pertamina LPG 2 when we, 10 kompasianer visit (9/10) to Port Kalbut, Situbondo, East Java. Hearing reviews reviews Reviews those words, my hair felt Goosebumps.

So, I wonder if now Pertamina intends to raise the price of LPG gas Gradually until 2016 that the LPG is sold, According to the value kekonomiannya. Do Pertamina profits? Not yet. 2016 so that it only targets the price of LPG is sold at least equal to the purchased price. This means that Pertamina not think the profit. The important thing is not to lose.

If people accept this price increase is is is gracefully, it will be more assets that can be purchased and developed by Pertamina. One proof is the two VLGC Pertamina we visited last week along with members of the media in the port Kalbut, Sitobondo, East Java . Pertamina to buy the ship at a price of 73 million dollars from Korea. Now both official Indonesian-flagged vessels. Even very proud again, all the vessels were operated and led by the country's children.

The journey to the port Kalbut itself, is not an easy journey. After landing at the airport Starfruit Sari, Banyuwangi. Then we continue the journey by bus to the Situbondo. Passing Baluran Protection forest, we disuguhin with views that are deciduous teak forest. This is the second time my experience through the woods Baluran. Unfortunately the desire to enter the savannah has not been accomplished. Hopefully there is a sponsor who is willing to take me there on other occasions.

Unfortunately, the steering seems less a master interpreter Situbondo streets. In fact, representatives from Pertamina, Marlo DECA Largest VLGC was not visited states in the world. As a result we had Several times puzzled when met with the intersection. In addition Baluran forest scenery , along the way, our trip was decorated with fields that are still green and the vast stretches of sugar cane plantations. Everything is green, there are hardly any vacant land that is not Cultivated plants or pepohonon.

Some of us even mlipir to the coffee shop for the sake of self menyengarkan Because sleepiness is present. This seems Also Pertamina's Office as well as a place to stay while some employees.

Also we wait long enough here. Looks like the team from Jakarta Pertamina recently coordinated with the section VLGC. Tired of waiting for the end of our first midday prayers. Incidentally the location of the mosque is just a few houses from Pertamina's office. Even Earlier , when we arrived, we were greeted with a recitation by the language of Madura. Typical only in East Java.
