Alyeska receives permission to restart pipeline


    ANCHORAGE (Reuters) - Alyeska has received government permission to restart the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, which carries 12 percent of U.S. crude, a company spokeswoman said on Tuesday.

    "We got the approval we need to restart the pipeline for interim operations," Katie Pesznecker said.

    The company will begin to bring up the pipeline through the night, she added, but gave no estimate of volumes.

    The pipeline had been shut down early on Saturday due to a leak.
