Explanation of Responses:
1. In connection with its initial public offering in January 2004, K-Sea Transportation Partners L.P. (the "Issuer") issued an aggregate of 4,165,000 subordinated units representing limited partner interests ("Subordinated Units") in the Issuer as follows: 2,983,182 Subordinated Units to EW Transportation LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("EWT LLC"), 727,273 Subordinated Units to EW Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation ("EWH Corp.") and wholly owned subsidiary of EWT LLC, and 454,545 Subordinated Units to EW Transportation Corp., a Delaware corporation ("EWT Corp.") and wholly owned subsidiary of EWH Corp. The subordination period ended on February 16, 2009 once the Issuer met the financial tests in its Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement").
2. When the subordination period ended, all Subordinated Units converted into common units representing limited partner interests ("Common Units") of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis. On each of February 14, 2007 and February 14, 2008, 25% of the outstanding Subordinated Units (or 1,041,250 Subordinated Units) converted into Common Units of the Issuer upon the achievement of certain financial tests described in the Partnership Agreement. On February 16, 2009, the remaining Subordinated Units (or 2,082,500 Subordinated Units) converted into Common Units of the Issuer upon the achievement of these financial tests, and the subordination period ended.

("PAT"), which is the general partner of each KSP Entity. Mr. Friedman and PAT may be deemed to beneficially own the securities owned by EWT LLC and its subsidiaries.
