Feb 21 (Reuters) – Colonial Pipeline said on Thursday it was
allocating shipments for Cycle 13 on its Line 3, according to a
notice to shippers.
Committed information will be available on Feb. 26, Colonial
said.
Line 3 is a mixed-products pipeline that runs from North
Carolina to Linden, New Jersey.
The company generally announces allocations when nominations
– requests for space to ship petroleum products – on its lines
exceed its ability to meet the five-day lifting cycle.
Colonial’s cycles are five-day periods during which a
sequence of all in-season products is pumped and the company
pumps the same sequence of product every five days.
Colonial connects Gulf Coast refineries with markets across
the South and Eastern United States through more than 5,500
miles of pipeline system, delivering gasoline, diesel, jet fuel
and other refined products.
