Atlanta’s Colonial Pipeline said Wednesday evening it is beginning to return to service, days after it halted most operations following a ransomware attack, leading to fuel shortages along the East Coast.
Colonial Pipeline initiated the restart of pipeline operations today at approximately 5 p.m., the company said in a statement.
“Following this restart, it will take several days for the product delivery supply chain to return to normal. Some markets served by Colonial Pipeline may experience, or continue to experience, intermittent service interruptions during the start-up period. Colonial will move as much gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel as is safely possible and will continue to do so until markets return to normal,” the company said.
