Overview

Maritime transportation is one of the vital means delivering jet fuel from refineries to end-users. The possible deterioration of fuel quality during maritime transportation directly impacts the final performance of jet fuel and, in severe cases, may even compromise aviation safety. While numerous studies have delved into the deterioration of jet fuel quality during long-term storage on land, there is a notable lack of research reporting on its quality deterioration during maritime transportation. This paper summarizes the unique conditions faced by jet fuel during maritime storage and transportation. Based on these characteristics, experimental studies were conducted to investigate the effects of storage duration, atmosphere, impurities, water content, and fuel blending on the quality deterioration process of jet fuel. The results reveal the process and underlying causes of jet fuel quality deterioration during maritime transportation.
