The shipment is expected to reach Ho Chi Minh City port in Vietnam in three days, reported the press-centre of Pertamina. 

Vietnam is a growing country, showing good economy growth potential in Asia because it has shifted from centralized economic system to sosial market economy oriented at national modern industrialization. As the result, foreign investment has been flowing in significantly to Vietnam, whose 80 million population is an attractive potential captive market.

Vietnam's limited oil and gas resource pushes the country to depend on fuel and lubricant imports from Thailand, Singapore, and some multinational companies have been growing their oil and gas business in Vietnam. As such, Pertamina Lubricants has appointed Indochina Petroleum Trading Joint Stock Company as exclusive distributor in Vietnam. With the Company's business network, Pertamina is confident that the market penetration of Lubricants will be successful in Vietnam. Pertamina Lubricants's superior quality and competitive pricing will make the products to have competitive edge in Vietnam.
