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.

The water is hot enough and the sting made ​​us many times must Spend it Mouthful by Mouthful of mineral water. 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. Because in addition to existing office and the living room is simple, there IS ALSO A spring bed that was in the room.

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.

We thought it would be given special clothes when going to visit VLGC Pertamina LPG. Because when coordination prior to departure, of of of participants had asked for the number of shoes and shirt number. Usually every standard will enter the mining area is so. I think this is one part of the safety standards are applied Also for visitors. Eh was on the field just given a life jacket as hehehehe crossing safety standards. Fortunately, all of of of participants used the shoes so that Pertamina no longer need to provide special shoes. Though some of the of of of participants are already excited to use a special uniform.

To arrive at the Pertamina LPG VLGC 2 is not easy. Once aboard the diesel-powered timber the roomates had been leased by Pertamina, we must move to a special ship "parking attendants" VLGC or tugboat. Each VLGC have one tugboat. And this is not only in charge of a tugboat as VLGC parking attendants, but Also suppliers of basic needs for the crew VLGC Pertamina Pertamina LPG 2. This tugboat still rent to private parties.

His job can also serve as a firefighter in the sea. So, it is very multifunctional tugboat. The tugboat crew was a man from Indonesia all. One of the crew was saying "I'm bored goldfish when working at sea, Although all meth saturated at Pertamina name faslitas yes definitely there. So we are happy when guests arrive. " Tugboat made ​​in Japan in 1998 is indeed quite agile in the sea. When we came there were only three crew on duty at the tugboat.

For me, visiting VLGC Pertamina 2 is truly a blessing beyond measure. Rarely there are ordinary citizens are invited blusukan in the World's Largest gas storage vessel. Even when asked, ministerial-level Officials Also no one has ever been to this VLGC. Only a Officials few of Pertamina WHO has ever set foot on board that has a deadweight of 84,000 tons. Luckily the sea was calm and there was no significant waves. If the time for the rainy season or the west wind, Usually anchored in the bay VLGC Chinatown , about 3 hours drive the the the northwest of Kalbut. When the transfer of LPG, the weather is needed to support either day or night. Unfortunately when we came there was no transfer of LPG process.

When setting foot on the hull, there is a sense that Seemed to erupt in the chest. It was great to be part of a group of ordinary citizens WHO first set foot on the ship Pertamina Gas 2. Hopefully on tickets reviews Reviews such programs are not the first and last. In order for more people who can see for Themselves how this nation is a great nation. Hopefully in the future, Indonesia could produce its own VLGC this kind. Although visitors are not allowed to turn on the phone, but the restriction is still within tolerable limits Because when he was in the cabin and a particular room, it turns out the phone is free to use. There are concerns that cell phone signals trigger a fire or explosion if a leak is not known. Tus, when the process of the transfer of LPG was strictly all ships approaching the radar switched off Including tugboat though. High safety standards applied due to LPG gas odor could not be detected by the nose as usual. For the sake of keeping things that are not desirable then all reviews reviews Reviews such provisions must be implemented a a A without exception.

For me personally, witness the appearance of ships reviews Reviews These reviews have been grateful that there are still a lot of members of this nation really WHO are concerned with the motherland. All the crew of the ship the the the which is the country boy, at least know how it feels awaited his arrival by the people WHO really need the gas and energy for reviews reviews Reviews their daily needs. That IS ALSO Briefly described Kosim Captain who is the captain VLGC Pertamina 2.
