press release Dumai Wharf: The Gate of Indonesian Oil Distribution for 60 years
Dumai wharf which has been operated since 1958.
“Dumai Wharf was built by PT CPI and has been operated for 60 years, since 1958. The wharf has been contributing in Dumai City development and its industry growth,” said Sr. VP Policy, Government, and Public Affairs Chevron Yanto Sianipar.
Before the shipment, pipeline transports the oil produced to Dumai Tank Farm. PT. Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) has 16 storage units with 5.1 million barrels capacity. After that, its oil is transported to Pertamina UP II refinery and tankers which have been scheduled at the wharf. PT CPI’s wharf is available for four tankers simultaneously.This is the first wharf in Indonesia that is certified for The International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code from Directorate General of Sea Transportation in December 2004. Dumai wharf even received a Gold Medallion for international high standard when US Coast Guard and Directorate General of Sea and Coastal Guard conducted an inspection in 2005.
Dumai, 180 KM from Pekanbaru and 61 KM from Duri, was a small village with less than 5,000 fishermen in 1950s. At that time, land transportation was not available but only through the sea. It needed more than one full day to get Pekanbaru from Dumai.Development of the city was started in 1956 after PT CPI moved its export port from Pakning River. PT CPI then put Dumai as the alternative port. Besides built an oil wharf, PT CPI also built storage tanks, office, housing complex, sport facility, and schools.
In 1958, PT CPI finished the Duri – Dumai road which connected to PT CPI’s Pekanbaru – Duri road. The objective of this project was to improve mobility and maintenance of oil pipeline and power line along the road. After years, the road was opened for public to remove the isolation, and provide access to public facilities. Since then, Dumai – Pekanbaru could be reached in 4 – 5 hours.Chevron is one of the world's leading integrated energy companies and through its Indonesian subsidiaries, has been operating in Indonesia for 94 years. With the ingenuity and commitment of highly skilled and dedicated employees, Chevron Indonesia leads as one of Indonesia's largest producers of crude oil. From our onshore oil fields in Riau, Sumatra and our offshore fields in East Kalimantan, we have produced more than 13 billion barrels of oil to meet the energy needs of Indonesia's growing economy.
