My understanding is he wasn't actually planning to go there. There are
probably a number of problems with shipping fuel to places you are not
planning to go, just in case:
- it's expensive to ship it there
- you may have to ship it out again if you don't use it - I'm not sure
whether they would let you leave it there indefinitely

I doubt that they would even accept the shipment, so the question is
academic. In dealing with bureaucracy, sometimes it is better to ask
forgiveness than to ask for permission that will surely be refused. That is
obviously the tack that Johanson chose, and probably the only reasonable
choice if one insists on making the attempt. Unfortunately for him, the
bureaucracy has chosen to play hardball in this instance.
