AKR plans seven additional fuel stations in remote regions

IDX-listed fuel distributor and logistics company PT AKR Corporindo Tbk plans to develop seven additional fuel oil refill stations in the country?s less-developed outlying regions until first-half of 2018 to help support the government?s program to create one fuel price across the country.

This was said by AKR Director Nery Polim as quoted by Bisnis Indonesia on Friday.

The company on Thursday inaugurated the operation of a fuel station in Balai District, Sanggau Regency, West Kalimatnan Province. This followed the inauguration of a similar facility on Wednesday in Ledo District, Bengkayang Regency, also in West Kalimantan. The fuel stations distribute RON 92 gasoline, and biodiesel.

The Balai and Ledo fuel stations receive supplies from AKR?s fuel terminal in Siantan District, Mempawah Regency, West Kalimantan, which has capacity of 18,000 kl. (*)
