BENUA BALI (ISL News) - PT Pelindo Marine Service (Pelindo Marine), a subsidiary of PT Pelindo Jasa Maritim which operates in the field of pilotage, towing, and marine services, successfully carried out the transfer of the Floating Regasification Unit (FRU) and Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) from the Bali Cruise Ship Terminal (BCST) Benoa area to Development Area 2 (AP2), on Monday, August 10, 2026.
The relocation of the two floating energy facilities is a strategic step to support the development of the Bali Maritime Tourism Hub (BMTH) area while ensuring the reliability of the energy supply for the Balinese people.
Fariz Hariyoso, Sub-Regional Head of Bali Nusra Regional 3 Pelindo, explained that the relocation of the FRU and FSRU is part of the BMTH area's development efforts as a world-class maritime tourism destination integrated with energy infrastructure needs. "The relocation of these two floating facilities is carried out to support the development of the Bali Maritime Tourism Hub without disrupting the reliability of the electricity supply in Bali. The development of the tourism and energy sectors must go hand in hand to provide optimal benefits for the community and the regional economy," said Fariz.
PT Pelindo Marine Service's Commercial, Operations and Engineering Director, Elvin Syah Putra, said the successful relocation of the FRU and FSRU was supported by the synergy of all parties and the tugboat fleet KT Jayanegara 303, KT Bima 324, and KT Bima 315. "Pelindo Marine is committed to providing reliable and quality maritime services to support national strategic projects," said Elvin.
Meanwhile, President Director of PT Pelindo Energi Logistik (PEL), Jeffry Y. Priastono, explained that the Lumbung Dewata FRU is a strategic infrastructure that plays a vital role in maintaining energy supply in Bali. This facility has a regasification capacity of 41 MMSCFD (Million Metric Standard Cubic Feet per Day), and supplies gas to PLN's power plants in Bali. "The Lumbung Dewata FRU is a vital part of Bali's energy supply chain. This relocation ensures the facility continues to operate optimally while supporting the development of the Benoa area as a modern maritime tourism center," said Jeffry.
The relocation of the FRU and FSRU demonstrates that the development of a modern tourism area can align with the energy needs that underpin community activities and the tourism industry on the Island of the Gods. The synergy between Pelindo Marine, PT Pelindo Energi Logistik, and the PLN Group demonstrates a shared commitment to supporting strategic infrastructure development, the green energy transition, and Bali's development as a world-class maritime destination.
