Subscriptions on the portion of the system delivering to refineries in British Columbia and Washington were 68 per cent over capacity, the Houston-based company said in a bulletin to shippers.
The Trans Mountain mainline system is expected to carry 270,045 barrels a day in September, up 2.2 per cent from estimated July shipments of 264,306, according to the notices received today and July 21.
The Puget Sound pipeline system will ship 134,773 barrels a day next month, according to the bulletin.
The 715-mile (1,150-kilometer) system runs from Edmonton to marketing terminals and refineries in central B.C., the Vancouver area and the Puget Sound region in Washington, according to the company's website.
Products also are moved to California, the U.S. Gulf Coast and overseas through the Westridge marine terminal in Burnaby, British Columbia.
