Tropical Storm Helene – Advisory #8
Tuesday, October 1, 2024
5:00 PM
Although we are continuing to work through the challenges created by Tropical Storm Helene, we are making progress. Georgia Power line crews have been working on Foundation Drive all day and we anticipate restored power at our Foundation terminals overnight. Once power is restored, an assessment will be conducted to ascertain the safety of the facility and ability to resume normal operations.
Please see below for current impacts to vessel, rail, and truck operations. You will continue to be informed of any changes to operations through these advisories issued daily until the remaining impacts of Tropical Storm Helene are remediated.
We deeply value our customers and take great pride in the continuity of our service. Colonial Terminals remains committed to mitigate impacts to your operations as quickly as possible provided we can safely do so. We are grateful for the ongoing hard work of the Colonial team members who have been working tirelessly to return service to our customers while also prioritizing the safety of all stakeholders.
