Colonial Pipeline is allocating cycle 36 shipments on Line 2, its main distillate line, according to a notice sent to shippers on Tuesday. Committed information would be available on Thursday, the pipeline operator said. The distillate line runs from Houston to Greensboro, North Carolina, and this allocation is for the segment north of Collins, Mississippi. 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.
