Colonial to shippers: seek space transfers before rules change in July

Houston

COLONIAL Pipeline has reminded shippers that a controversial change in how petrol and distillates are shipped on the clogged fuel artery is less than three months away.

Shippers who want to trade space on the system as currently allowed need to give Colonial up to eight weeks to approve such requests before the practice is sharply restricted in early July, the company said in a notice to them last Friday.
