Clifton Pier Terminal Overview

01. Location

Global Eagle’s Clifton Terminal is located on the western end of New Providence Island, The Bahamas, occupying a 0.70-acre site (505 ft x 60 ft).

02. Purpose

The terminal is designed to receive, store, and distribute Jet A-1 and Avgas—fuels commonly used in aviation.

03. Fuel Supply

Jet A-1 is received from offshore barges via a jetty connected to an 8” pipe header. This system feeds seven vertical storage tanks and supplies fuel to truck loading bays equipped with Honeywell filtration and metering technology.

04. Storage Capacity

Seven stainless steel tanks (TK01–TK07) provide a combined operational capacity of 2,315,900 US gallons.

05. Monitoring Systems

Each tank is equipped with level and temperature monitoring, high/low switches, and pressure indicators. All signals are centralized through a Distributed Control System (DCS) panel. Water detectors ensure product integrity.

06. Construction Quality

All tanks and piping are constructed of food-grade stainless steel to maintain fuel purity and prevent corrosion. Manual valves offer reliable control.

07. Filtration & Metering

Truck loading is powered by dual 50 HP pumps (450 GPM capacity) and includes a Honeywell skid with:

• Coalescer filters (water removal)
• Metering system (550 GPM)
• Filter, control valve, batch controller, static grounding, and loading arm

Three additional pumps (550 GPM each) handle inter-tank transfers and deliveries to the jetty.

08. Control & Power

Operations are monitored from a dedicated control room. Electrical systems operate on 440 V, 3-phase, 60 Hz, with full motor and lighting control infrastructure.

09. Fire Safety

Fire protection includes:

• Diesel pump (1,350 GPM)
• 70,500-gallon water tank
• Foam system, deluge systems, monitors, and ring mains
• Flame/spill detectors, alarm points, horns, and strobes

10. Instrumentation

All control and instrumentation systems are supplied by Honeywell, featuring:

• Local batch control
• Overfill detection
• Density, temperature, and pressure transmitters
• Offline system monitoring
