Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia’s state-owned oil and gas corporation PT Pertamina continues working to secure the release of its two tankers from the Strait of Hormuz, amid a ceasefire between Iran and the US.“We continue to strengthen coordination and maintain close consultation with relevant stakeholders, including the Foreign Affairs Ministry,” Pertamina’s corporate secretary Arya Dwi Paramita told reporters on Thursday.Pertamina continues to monitor the developments in the Strait of Hormuz while carrying out technical arrangements to ensure the safe passage of the two vessels—Pertamina Pride and Gamsunoro.Pertamina Pride operates to support national energy needs, while Gamsunoro is used for third-party energy distribution services.Both vessels remain in the Persian Gulf, with Pertamina prioritizing the safety of the crew as well as the protection of the ships and their cargo.In addition to communication with the crew on board to ensure their safety, the company—through its sub-holding Pertamina International Shipping—is communicating with insurance companies and other relevant partners.”Therefore, if the situation permits, we hope those vessels can immediately pass through the Strait of Hormuz,” Pertamina's vice president of corporate communications, Muhammad Baron, stated.Two Pertamina tankers have been stranded in waters near the Strait of Hormuz since early March due to the closure of the strategic maritime route.Earlier, the Foreign Affairs Ministry confirmed that the Iranian government has provided a positive response to Indonesia’s request to allow the vessels to safely pass through the strait.The Indonesian Embassy in Tehran has taken follow-up steps on technical and operational aspects, although no specific timeline has yet been provided for the vessels’ safe passage.
