The main aim of the rule is to avoid gas station sell B0 because of they run out of B20. Obeying that rule, the companies will avoid penalty of Rp6.000 per litre. The rule will be included on standard operating procedure (SOP). The rule will also give excuses for ships that are late to distribute B20 for unavoidable reasons. “Sometimes, vessels run aground when the sea recedes. It happens and I have photos of it,” Djoko said. ***
