The terminal is the 100th among the 103 all over Indonesia. There are 10 filling terminals in Jakarta and 30 in Bogor, Tangerang, and Bekasi the immediate locations around Jakarta which make up the greater Jakarta area. The government is planning to build up to 200 filling terminals, 50 among them to be built by the end of the year.
The new director is only one month holding the post as the government sacked the former director, Ari Soemarno and changed several key positions in the state company's after the explosion that charred a 10.000 kiloliter fuel storage tank in Plumpang in mid January.
