Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On October 4, 2006, Javed Ahmed, an Executive Director of Morgan Stanley Capital Group, Inc. was appointed as an affiliated director of the board of directors of TransMontaigne GP L.L.C., our general partner.  Concurrently with Mr. Ahmed’s appointment, Randall J. Larson resigned as an affiliated director of the board of directors to ensure that a majority of the board’s directors continued to be unaffiliated directors.  As a result, the board of directors of our general partner continues to be composed of three affiliated directors and four independent directors.

The appointment of Mr. Ahmed to the board of directors of our general partner reflects Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc.’s recent acquisition of TransMontaigne Inc., which owns and controls our general partner.  At the present time, we do not expect that Mr. Ahmed will serve on any committee of the board of directors of our general partner.

On October 4, 2006, we issued a press release announcing the above actions, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
