WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?
Fuel distribution to East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), including Labuan Bajo, relies entirely on sea transportation. Pertamina fuel tankers must travel long distances from major fuel terminals in Java or Sulawesi. When bad weather disrupts shipping routes or delays fuel deliveries, fuel stocks at the Labuan Bajo Terminal can quickly run low. Limited reserve storage capacity further increases the vulnerability of the supply chain.
Impact on Tourism
For local residents, fuel shortages mean long queues at gas stations and disruptions to daily activities. However, for the tourism sector, the impact is far more significant:
- Tour boats are unable to operate even when tourists have already made reservations.
- Ground transportation becomes limited, while operational costs continue to rise.
- Labuan Bajo’s reputation as an international tourist destination is also put at risk.
