Bulletins

A Bulletin is published by either Transport4, a Terminal, or a Carrier.  This feature is most commonly used to communicate issues that impact a large number of users such as allocations, line outages, product lifting dates, etc. 

Bulletins can be set up via a push. You can learn how to set up pushes here.
