Fleet Carriers sell Tritium in Colonia.
Did I mention fleet carrier in my post about people traveling the Colonia Highway? Nope, that was about people traveling the Colonia Highway in their own ships, you seem overly focused on Fleet Carriers to the point of ignoring any other possible type of game play. There are plenty of people who explore and don't take Fleet Carriers along, there are plenty of people who travel to Colonia and don't travel with Fleet Carriers, for these people the Colonia Highway is a useful thing, if you don't find it useful for your Fleet Carrier that's a you problem.
I never even thought of visiting the CBridge when I went to Colonia last year, I just fueled up in the Bubble and meandered out there exploring and sampling along the way. Once there I took my carrier out for a loop of more exploring etc and on my return to Colonia parked in a system selling Tritium and invested the money from the exobiology in a buy order to mostly fill the carrier.
I was aware of Colonia's reputation as a Tritium desert so was expecting to be there for some time and even having to move my own Tritium so I was somewhat surprised to find the order complete when I logged in the following day. The same tactic took days longer when I got back to the bubble.
So Tritium is for sale at Colonia though you need to pay more for it one way or another.
Sorry, focus!! : I created this thread... and this thread is about the lack of tritium for Fleet Carries at Colonia Bridge. The promise is broken.
My apologies.-
Where does your information come from?
A few weeks ago I returned to the bubble from the far side of galactic center. No Beagle point was not my destination but it was a several month exploration journey. I did not visit Colonia or the bridge. I never purchased tritium after leaving the bubble. I mined less than 2,000 in deep space while testing various mining ships and methods. I returned to the Bubble with +10,000

If I had gone to Colonia I suppose I could have sold 10,000 units of tritium from my carrier at a really great profit?
I've seen carrier offering way more than 100k/u. Looking at Inara there's even a carrier willing to pay 250k/u for 700u..
Still the tritium cost and manual labour means that hauling tritium to Colonia with a carrier isn't really a good get rich scheme..

A quick search using INARA...
But ya, I wouldn't rely on this. If 10 players each want to fill their carriers with 20,000 tritium for starting a deep space voyage... well then poof its all gone.
As @varonica said earlier, available tritium for purchase outside the bubble is good for topping up, or getting enough to get to your destination. Not reliable for filling up an empty carrier with 20,000.

Actually this is just a technical issue on the server side. Several updates to it during the Thargoid War could have contained a fragment of code that broke the initial meaning, as it was not a regular traffic site, being overlooked by both the players and the QA Team.
As I said at the beginning, I had taken an alternative route away from Colonia Brigde and I only got close to it at the final positions where in 1 out of every 4 or 5, you found between 100 and 200 tritium.
Of course, I have not encountered other carriers or commanders along the way, and the station records (logs) confirm this.
In Colonia I visited most of the stations with the same result and the carriers do not have tritium and many are stranded.
The information that Inara may give about them is directly false.
Inara is updated by player action. If the player does not go to Inara, his Carrier is giving out outdated information.
Here some argue as if this were a question of "lore" and it is a technical question.
The programmer can accommodate a routine or procedure where at the day's refresh at 8 AM, all the Tritium counters are initialized as if the tanker had arrived (as happens in real life) and resupplied them.
If instead they have a timing system that generates 1 ton per hour, you get what we currently have. Which means that it takes approximately 10 days and 42 minutes to generate 250tn.
Ineffective, inefficient and outside the purpose of Colonia Bridge.
Fact, kill story.
The Data:
Arrive to Station/Mega Ships and buy 20tn of Trituim
About at 7:45 (at morning) I buy 8 tn of Trituim
Only 2 Commander in the zone...
This is a server-side design and algorithm problem. Neither Lore nor market rules.
And the same for assistance missions.
There is nothing more to add.

I do appreciate your efforts in providing evidence for your claims.
Really, Inara is out of dated, and they combined results from Live and Legacy. Im visited varius Fleel Carrier, inclusive one of Buur Pit Fleet, beside the neutron star.
Sorry, the pictue is in HDR.
Regads.-
That's a point of view.
Certainly it would be technically possible for Frontier to "fix" this by setting the regeneration rate of Tritium to be "two hours" rather than "two months", or however high it needed to be to ensure that the Colonia Bridge stations (and any other Refinery, for that matter) always had more Tritium than players would use. That's pretty much how every other commodity in the game works, after all - stations can in theory run out of Power Generators or Silver or Clothing but it's exceptionally rare that they actually do in normal gameplay.
The question is should they?
Doing so would mean that carriers could move around in deep space without Tritium being a particular concern - a carrier could travel from Colonia to anywhere in the galaxy and back again with fuel to spare, or while carrying heavy services. There are other ways to get that outcome too, of course - they could set the cost of a carrier jump to 1t of Tritium. But the only reason for Tritium to exist in the first place is to make it harder to move a carrier around in deep space.
So forget the details of how it would be done, forget whether some Galnet articles three years ago suggested to you that the Colonia Bridge might do it.
Why would that change - making deep space carrier movement much easier - be good for the game overall?
Closed and 0 Trituim
Inara Data
For my experience, and all can look the picture, the data os Katariah is out of date.

This was his promise... not mine. Promise and porpuose. Focuss
Sorry, this is a silly argument. The same its possible from de Bubble. This not the reason.
And you can also restrict the purchase, in the same way that bulk sales are restricted, to 200-500tn per commander and station per week and with high prices.
None of your reasoning is sustainable and moves away from the purpose of avoiding the collection of tritium in the bubble to facilitate transit to and from Cologne. Do I have to put the Galnet releases back in?
Regards.-
Mind you, Colonia is not like visiting Cambridge. It's more like visiting Faroe Islands. Very restricted supply of tritium is by design. Design could be changed by coordinated player activity. If you take a fleetcarrier out of the bubble you must either know what you are doing, or deal with consequences. I don't mind a good rant, but this one is rather unjustified one.
If you are near Colonia and need Tritium, I can sell you 10-15k, but it won't be cheap.
I'm back towards the Bubble. Look at the first post. I'm halfway there. I offered to buy, in my Carrier Fleet, in Colonia 1.5M per Ton of Tritium... for 2 weeks and no one sold me and the second on the list in Inara.
All the Fleet Carriers that I visited, about 4 per system, were either out of tritium or shut down.
Thanks a lot. ;-)
