Abstract

Fishers at PPI Lhok Bengkuang, South Aceh Regency, are still unable to obtain subsidized fuel oil. This is influenced by the increasing demand and the limited fuel supply at nearby fuel station.The purpose of this study is to calculate the amount of diesel fuel distributed to fishers, the servicecapacity of the fuel station at PPI Lhok Bengkuang, and the amount fuel supply. Data were collectedthrough observation and direct interviews with fishers who buy fuel regularly, which are then analyzedusing simple math. The results of this study show that 125 L of diesel fuel were subsidized subsidiesfor 4 months, with a monthly average requirement of 31.92 liters.
