INSA bans cargo ships using subsidised fuel
Jakarta: The Indonesian National Shipowners Association (INSA) has reportedly issued an order prohibiting all cargo ships from using subsidized fuels.

This was in support of the government’s efforts to curb consumption of subsidized fuels.

The official prohibition will prevent unwarranted price competition between cargo shippers, according to INSA. Enforcement has proven difficult however as seen in the case of the mining, plantation and forestry sector.

The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry is targeting savings of 1.3m kilolitres of subsidized fuel this year. Last year, it only managed to save some 350,000 kilolitres, far below the targeted 1.5m kilolitres.
