Lately Pertamina tanker has been hit by a wave of reverse flow of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) as the excesses of the emergence of bottled LPG 3 kilograms when the enactment of kerosene to fuel environmentally friendly and cheap, namely LPG is still common for customers who are mostly members of the community economy weak.
At the beginning of rolling of LPG in the packaging tube size 3 kilograms, the sea still lenang, and tankers to sail with Pertamina still smooth cut surface of the ocean, but when tens of millions of bottled LPG 3 kilograms begun to be exploited under the public, there was a reverse flow of LPG that wave strike hard to the left and right gastric Pertamina tanker so that vibrates and makes the captain and crew so shocked. Why did this happen?! Murmured the captain.
Communities that had bergembiraria when receiving a free gift a set complete with LPG stove packaging tubes 3 kilograms so shocked when a free gift from the government have led to casualties. Consumers free prizes and even then be increased sensation and panic when watching television and reading the various news papers with different titles. "LPG stove exploded" or "The house burned down due to LPG cylinders exploded. 1 killed, 2 seriously injured "
Government's good intentions to save their money under the community and reduce fuel subsidies, especially kerosene turned into a boomerang. Some people use bottled LPG kiloggram precisely three fire victims. Houses are no longer inhabited, also hospitalized, and some even up to go to the grave and rest in peace.
Crowded arena of mass media began to fill his column with the fire due to "explosion" LPG cylinder 3 kilograms of swallowing burns victims and victims also died. Electronic media showed images of the scene (where the incidence of Case) is a mess, also missed the green highlighted that scorched round tube in the kitchen. LPG cylinder 3 kilograms is still intact! But the fire was reported due to LPG cylinder blast! Weird is not it? In case there is a fire occurs due to leakage in LPG cylinder regulator 3 kilograms. Information does not match the facts that occurred.
Ironically, the pembicarapun spoke in the media, and most of those who violate Pertamina. While it is also an attempt to find "scapegoats" is not a black swan (black swan).
Realizing that the accident was not a coincidence, but the human error factor and the accessories that do not meet the requirements of the market, Pertamina, was looking for justification to lower the "fact-finding team" to determine if it is true that fire caused by explosion of bottled LPG cylinder 3 kilogram? Apparently not true!
Head of Public Relations Division, Police Headquarters, Inspector General of Police Edward Aritonang spoke on the sidelines Bhayangkara Celebration 64th anniversary in Surabaya on Thursday (1 / 7 '10) that based on police forensic laboratory test results, the cause of the accident was not caused by LPG cylinders, but due to gas leak that occurred on LPG cylinder accessories such as rubber seals, hoses and regulators.
While the PT Pertamina (Persero) through its Vice President of Corporate Communications Pertamina, B. Trikora Son ensures that all bottled LPG cylinder 3 kilograms was completed, 100 percent free from leaks.
Strictly speaking, all LPG cylinder contains 3 pounds already guaranteed its existence since before the filling out of the depot, the tubes are in good condition.
Meanwhile, according to Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources &, Darwin Z. Saleh, 3 kilograms of LPG accident cases in 2010 this was due to LPG accessories components which should be replaced. In addition, many due to lack of good components of LPG cylinder accessories. (MP no.25/Thn XLVI June 21, 2010)
As a result of the fire disaster that has claimed victims of serious burns and fatalities due to accidents LPG, from 2007 to 2010, Pertamina has spent gantikerugian claims about 2.5 billion dollars. And as a sense of caring for accident victims LPG 3 kilograms, Pertamina will give compensation of Rp 25 million to the victims died, plus the funeral expenses of Rp 2 million. Whereas if you were injured, the company will bear the cost of replacement during treatment in hospital. (MP no.25/Thn XLVI June 21, 2010)
The policy on our worth holding up a thumb to Pertamina, because although Pertamina's LPG sales lost when dealing with 3 kilograms, but firm red plate was still willing to spend the funds for the victims of accidents LPG 3 kilograms.
One of the plume, which is about caring for victims of accidents Pertamina LPG containers 3 kilograms, although directly or indirectly, that disaster is not an absolute error of Pertamina, but the number one company in the red plate with all humility even apologize to victims of incidents of LPG 3 kilograms.
"I express my deep sorrow for what happened to the victim's family either dead or wounded, as well as deep concern over the incident on 3 kg LPG cylinder users that have recently occurred," said President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero), Karen Agustiawan in ceremony victim compensation and insurance 3 kg LPG incident in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta, (17 / 6). MP No.26/Thn XLVI/28 June 2010.
As concerned citizens with Pertamina and the consumers of LPG packaging tubes 3 kilograms, then the author via Freddyilhamsyah's Blog feel the need to go socialize again about the existence of the National Team of LPG consists of a number of experts from the Coordinating Ministry for People's Welfare, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ministry of Women and Child Protection, the Indonesian National Police, National Standardization Agency, Local Government, and Pertamina, which each team member has the duties and responsibilities according to its authority as follows:
1. Coordinating Ministry for People's Welfare is the Coordinator of the National Coordination Team Community Supervision and Development.
2. Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources is responsible for the provision and distribution of LPG commodity.
3. Ministry of Industry together with Pertamina is responsible for supporting product stewardship program (tubes, burner, hose, valve and regulator), including to conduct quality control, especially against the prime at the time of the procurement package.
4. Ministry of Manpower is responsible for supervision of the LPG cylinder product.
5. Ministry of Trade is responsible for overseeing goods on the market, especially products of kerosene to LPG conversion ranging from tubes, burner, hose, valves, and regulators.
6. National Standardization Agency responsible for the formulation and determination of SNI for the rubber seal.
7. Provincial Government, District is responsible for disseminating a safe way of using LPG in their respective regions.
8. Pertamina, together with the Ministry of Industry to control the quality especially of the packs at the time of procurement and socialization efforts continue in cooperation with all parties.
In addition to the parties mentioned above, the Police as its responsibility in the supervision of criminal behavior / criminal will oversee criminal behavior / criminal associated with the use of LPG. Source MP no.29/Thn XLVI/19 July 2010.
With the duties and responsibilities among ministries and agencies are now working serempat in various sectors, it is expected that no more effort to find a "scapegoat" to blame if the future is still common incidents due to the use of bottled LPG cylinders 3 kilograms. All parties must take responsibility, but different levels of responsibility. But certainly the most serious responsibilities are the Ministry commerce because this agency most responsible for monitoring goods in the market, especially products for kerosene to LPG.
Meanwhile, Pertamina and the Ministry of Industry is responsible for the device only packs. That is, before the market is the responsibility of Pertamina and the Ministry Perindusterian, but once out and circulating in the market is primarily the responsibility of the Ministry of Commerce. Meanwhile, the National Standardization Agency is expected to affix labels do not carelessly SNI to 3 kilograms of LPG devices.
With the formation of the National Team of LPG, it is expected that all elements of society, including mass media, NGOs, the legislature and the parties who are always on behalf of the interests of the people already knew who would it turned "target shooting" if an accident while still occur due to use of LPG in particular bottled LPG cylinders 3 kilograms.
While internally, the company has also made striker mounting danger signs taped to the LPG cylinder 3 kilograms, changed by giving a free 6 million rubber seal according to ISO standards. In addition, Pertamina also has to anticipate the use of stoves and LPG cylinder 3 kilograms with measures to increase quality control of the convention materials, ranging from factory acceptance until the time division exchange mechanisms including defective material received during the warranty period. Improving control of the LPG cylinder in all distribution channels at the level of agents and SPPBE, and conducting inspections and penalties on distribution lines that proved a violation of 3 kilograms of LPG business administration. The realization and implementation is awaited.
Petronas
Problem 3 kilograms of LPG has not been fully completed, now appears also the case of filling stations DODO (Dealer Own, Operate Dealer), which is private property, namely Petronas in front of the entrance gate of Medan's Polonia Airport is reportedly selling subsidized fuel with high octane (92 octane? ) so that Petronas petrol feels more superior and sold well because consumers feel more comfortable with a fast Petronas gasoline combustion.
Issues that Petronas subsidized fuel use higher octane than the applicable provisions have been made stifling Pertamina and various groups in North Sumatra, for example Hiswana Migas, DRPD and North Sumatra provincial government deeply regrets the unhealthy competition. Which became a big question mark, why foreign companies are given the opportunity to sell subsidized fuel. This means the same dengn that certain parties who deliberately want to shake Pertamina.
Media Pertamina (internal tabloid Pertamina) spoke participate in the editorial "When the field was invaded", (to quote the daily headlines Medan Business "Losing $ 60 billion North Sumatra Buy fuel subsidy from Petronas') said, ... ... ... ... .. What is the rush of foreign companies will be allowed to easily seize market share of indigenous gas stations in the area "wet" areas while the "dry", the task remains difficult and remote Pertamina? It fair? (MP edition no. 25/Thn XLVI/21 June 2010)
From the selection of content and editorial was impressed that Pertamina was also stifling to the Petronas gas station in question. If not "hot" and "angry", certainly not the case is raised to 4 (four) times in editorials Media Pertamina(MP) is in MP no. 25/Thn XLVI/21 June 2010, MP no.26/Thn XLVI/28 June 2010, MP no.29/Thn XLVI/19 July 2010, and MP no.34/Thn XLVI/23 August 2010.
In an editorial in July 2010 MP no.29/Thn XLVI/19 written, "Why subsidized fuel given to foreign companies. Is this Pertamina gas station can not afford to distribute? "
Furthermore, also written: we respect free trade is free trade that respects the pure competition by measuring the strength, abilities, strengths, weaknesses, not privileges of new forms of destructive fairness and memorable precisely that privilege granted to business entities that do not belong to the government.
The question, who gave permission subsidized fuel sales to foreign companies, and indeed who are impressed to give privileges to the gas station DODO Petronas, the Malaysian Government or the Government of Indonesia (related agencies)?
Should we remain tolerant in dealing with these problems and should not be dragged emotional, because all existing mechanisms of regulation. The authors believe that Petronas to sell subsidized fuel after the company following the auction mechanism. Would not the paragraph beginning no.29/Thn XLVI/19 editorial MP in July 2010 has signaled that the PSO's fuel procurement and distribution is done through a tender system. That is, who wins the tender, go ahead and backed the losing bid.
Implementation of the procurement and distribution of fuel bersubsudi otherwise known as PSO fuel for this type of Premium and Diesel, in 2011, ready for grabs. Already there are five entities that have been selected for further selection. The five enterprises are PT Aneka Kimia Raya Corporindo, Tbk (AKR), PT Elnusa, Tbk. PT Petronas Niaga Indonesia, PT Shell Indonesia and PT Total Oil Indonesia, (editorial MP no.29/Thn XLVI/19 July 2010) without mentioning, Pertamina also has committed to participate in the tender and distribute subsidized fuel in Indonesia for 2011. Now live how we set the strategy for Petronas falling in the auction arena. What is the incessant preaching about "opening ulcer" Petronas recently included in the trick? Only parties terkaitlah knows.
Pertamina should not need too feel "hot" and "angry", because the President Director of Pertamina Retail, Giri Santoso once said, "Do not be afraid of us with a competitor, a competitor may not have standards as we are already world class. But actually it's business as generic business, I think the market will be decisive. Where they are satisfied at the pump A will remain at A, or when they are satisfied at the pump B, yes still in B ... ... .., "when interviewed by Nandang Suherlan, member of the Editorial Team Media Pertamina, as stated in the rubric Corner Management in article entitled" Ready to Compete, Eliminate Impression "fed up" (MP no. 25/Thn XLVI/21 June 2010).
Is the establishment of 54 stations COCO a self-contained with the concept of one stop service that does not "hit" DODO thousands of gas stations owned by the nation itself that have not been able to compete and lose, "sleek" with COCO-owned Pertamina gas stations?
One thing that needs to be a record, if it is true that the Indonesian people have a strong sense of nationalism, certainly DODO Petronas gas station itself would collapse. Because consumers would not buy fuel at gas stations owned by foreign companies that DODO. Are not we lucky that Pertamina was also lucky? Where to go running, I love Indonesian products? What is here definitely fit, surely there is more precisely pasnya? Here there is no fuel types of "premium" quality Pertamax, but there is kind of gasoline sold "premium" that generate fast as gasoline combustion type Pertamax with RON 92. So consumer invade DODO Petronas Gas Station to buy "premium" quality Pertamax because the price subsidy. Pasarpun mechanism occurs. Fuel Pump Problems will be damaged by the use of fuel that is not its designation, business later.
Reportedly, according to international standards, its premium is RON 88, and if the premium were sold DODO Petronas gas station located on top of RON 88? If it is true, the seal of his gas station, and arrested the owners for doing "economic subversion of Indonesia." Who dare!? Related to this, should not be up to the term, "Dogs bark, the caravan passed permanent." We grumble from east to west, DODO Petronas gas stations still exist with the "dirty" practices of trade competition.
Indeed we must realize that the emergence of all the problems were as a result of the emergence of Law. 22 of 2001 on Oil and Gas which has been dismantle the monopoly of Pertamina in the upstream and downstream sectors, so that Pertamina impressed "castrated". Act that make it our own. What to say anymore ?
To become a concern, if true DODO Petronas Gas Station (PT Petronas Niaga Indonesia) has violated the rules of the game, and he said Hiswana Oil and Gas, North Sumatra provincial parliament and also, why are not dealt with by the competent authorities when the existing Law no. 5 of 1999 which mengantur on the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition?
