Heaptalk, Jakarta — Pertamina International Shipping (PIS) targets a 33% reduction in total carbon emissions in its operations by the end of 2030. To achieve the target, PIS has devised several strategic steps to achieve this goal, including using green ships, alternative fuels, green terminals, and carbon capture and storage (CCS).
In addition, todate PIS also will conduct immediate green transformation measures, such as fleet rejuvenation with more environmentally friendly ships and alternative fuels like dual-fuel and biodiesel.
“This strategy represents our sincerity as a major player in the energy logistics sector in Southeast Asia to lead decarbonization efforts, in line with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) goals and Pertamina’s commitment to achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2060. One of our initial steps is targeting a 33% reduction in carbon emissions from 24.5 kTCO2e per year to 978.6 kTCO2e per year by 2030,” stated Eka Suhendra, PIS Director of Business Planning, at the Federation of International Freight Forwarders Associations Region Asia Pacific (Fiata RAP) 2024 forum in Bali (07/11).
Scaling up the capabilities of Tanjung Sekong LPG Terminal
Furthermore, PIS plans to modernize its fleet with more energy-efficient features, expand the use of alternative fuels, and invest in becoming part of the carbon-negative business chain through CCS. The company is preparing to fill the transport chain needed for carbon transportation. Eka added, “To support the government’s commitment to achieving Net Zero Emissions, we will invest in LCO2 (liquid carbon dioxide) carrier ships and receiving terminals.”
Recently, Pertamina’s logistics subsidiary has scaled up the capabilities of the Tanjung Sekong LPG Terminal by integrating advanced technologies, enabling more efficient and integrated LPG management and distribution. The terminal, operational since 2012, spans 12.9 hectares and has a storage capacity of 98,000 Metric Tons (MT) or 196,000 Cubic Meters (CBM).
In 2020, the Tanjung Sekong LPG Terminal was upgraded to a Refrigerated LPG Terminal with three docks. It can now accommodate ships ranging from 3,500 to 65,000 deadweight tonnage (DWT), facilitating efficient import and export operations of LPG.
