Pipeline Grade

Refined to the Colonial Pipeline Grade 54 specification for batch shipping and consistent quality.

Aviation Quality

Meets the key ASTM D1655 limits for flash point, freezing point, distillation and thermal stability.

Clean and Dry

Low sulphur and low water content, filtered and handled under aviation fuel quality controls.

Inspected Cargo

Quality and quantity verified by an independent inspector at loading and discharge.

Typical Specifications

Indicative values based on ASTM D1655. The final specification is agreed in the contract and confirmed by the independent inspector's report.
