There is no denying that there can be operational benefits from tankering fuel.
But you, and the poster that you quote, appear to be the only two contributors arguing that it's actually greener to transport jet fuel to a given airport by air rather than by surface (land or sea) in bulk.
I'd be fascinated to see your sums demonstrating that.
