New shipping rule puts Indonesia output at risk

摘要

Jakarta-Indonesia's oil and gas output could take a hit in 2011 if a new regulation requir- ing all vessels operating in the country to be Indonesia-flagged and registered is imple- mented as planned from January, a senior official said December 1. "With this regulation, we cannot carry out exploration and production. It is a threat to the oil and gas sector," the chairman of Indonesia's upstream regulator BPMigas R. Priyono told Platts.
