State-owned oil and gas company PT Pertamina’s marketing units UPMS I (Unit Pemasaran I) and UPMS III had maintained international standards in their operations and as a recognition to that they received ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certificates respectively, the Harian Ekonomi Neraca newspaper reported in its Saturday edition.

“UMPS I received ISO 9001 certificate, a 2000 version, for maintaining international standards at its installation in Deli Port, Medan and UPMS III received ISO 14001 certificate in the field of environmental management at its installation in Tanjuk Priok- Depot Plumpang,” Pertamina’s spokesman M.

The ISO 9001 (2000 version) was given by Lloyd Register Indonesia and ISO 14001 by Det Norske Veritas. Lloyd Register Indonesia’s country manager OG Rilson handed over the ISO 9001 on Wednesday to UPMS I’s general manager Tjandra Putra Kencana at Delhi port installation in Medan.
