November 09, 2012 [Equities] - All inbound and outbound lines at the facility are now operational and ready for service. The Linden facility operated at reduced rates on back-up generator power in the difficult conditions immediately following Hurricane Sandy.
According to Buckeye, the Linden facility, which normally pumps approximately 500,000 barrels of jet fuel, gasoline, and diesel daily, is a key origin point for product being delivered via Buckeye’s pipelines into the New York City market, including JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark airports. Buckeye established service to several of its pipeline delivery terminals serving the New York City market.
“We appreciate and want to recognize the tireless and around-the-clock efforts of our employees and contractors, PSE&G and other utility responders, connecting carriers, and officials from local, State and Federal governments in bringing our assets back on-line as quickly as they did,” stated Clark C. Smith, President and CEO.
Buckeye Partners, L.P. has reported the restart of its pipelines that service New York, including New York City and upstate New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania markets.”Their efforts will help us to minimize any further disruption to fuel supply in the markets we serve, as the communities work to recover in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.”
