OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE A SAFE, STABLE, AND EFFICIENT SUPPLY OF AVIATION FUEL, GUARANTEEING THE SMOOTH OPERATIONS AND SUSTAINED DEVELOPMENT OF HONGKONG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (HKIA).
Swift and seamless, our marine receipt operations ensure aviation fuel is offloaded safely and securely — every time.
PAFF is a port facility fully compliant with the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code. It operates under an approved Port Facility Security Plan, ensuring robust maritime security measures are in place. This provides assurance in the safety and integrity of both jetty and tanker operations.
In full compliance with international JIG standards, our operations incorporate stringent quality testing, fuel settling, water drainage, laboratory certification, and final filtration prior to airport delivery. We perform comprehensive inspections around the clock to ensure reliability.
Our mission is to deliver high-quality fuel and maintain a secure supply, with strict quality control as our top priority.
We manage the entire fuel process from marine receipt to fuel transfer, ensuring every step is properly controlled and recorded to prevent fuel contamination and meet safety and quality standards. We track fuel movement and detect issues in real time. This approach guarantees continuous fuel supply for HKIA and reduces operational risks. Our priority is accuracy, reliability, and protecting the supply chain from start to finish.
