“Kami optimis dan mendukung proyek terminal LPG,” ujar Ketua DPRD Tuban, HM Miyadi,S.Ag saat dikonfirmasi di gedung dewan Jalan Teuku Umar Tuban.

Dikonfirmasi terpisah, Wakil Bupati Tuban, Ir. H Noor Nahar Hussein,M.Si membenarkan jika proyek terminal LPG akan dibangun di sebelah Timur TPPI. Untuk keterangan lengkapnya, Wakil Bupati belum mendapat data resmi dari Pertamina.

“Proyek itu akan menggunakan lahan 60 Hektare milik Pertamina,” katanya.

Untuk diketahui, Pertamina akhirnya memutuskan untuk membangun terminal elpiji di Tuban Jawa Timur. Keputusan ini diambil karena tidak ada satu pun peserta lelang yang memenuhi syarat. Direktorat Pemasaran Korporat Pertamina Muchamad Iskandar mengatakan, sebenarnya perusahaan sudah membuka tender untuk pembangunan terminal LPG refrigated di Jawa Timur. Awalnya, memang pembangunan terminal LPG ini menggunakan skema penyerahan aset (Build Operate Transfer/BOT).

Dengan skema itu, ada pihak yang menyediakan lahan untuk didirikan bangunan oleh pihak lain dalam jangka waktu yang disepakati. Setelah kontrak berakhir, maka lahan dan bangunan berikut fasilitas diserahkan kembali. Saat ini, proyek itu sudah masuk tahap tender pengerjaan konstruksi dan perekayasaan (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction/EPC).
