Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On October 26, 2010, the board of directors of TransMontaigne GP L.L.C., the general partner (the “General Partner”) of TransMontaigne Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”), appointed Jay A. Wiese to serve as a director of the General Partner effective October 26, 2010.  The board of directors of the General Partner has determined that Mr. Wiese qualifies as an independent director under the applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. Mr. Wiese will also serve as a member of the Conflicts Committee of the General Partner.  Mr. Wiese’s compensation for his services on the board of directors will be consistent with that of the General Partner’s other directors who are not officers or employees of the General Partner or its affiliates, as described in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2010.  Other than the standard compensation arrangements, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Wiese and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Wiese was appointed as a director.  There are no relationships between Mr. Wiese and the General Partner or the Partnership that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

 

On October 27, 2010, the Partnership issued a press release announcing the foregoing actions.  The press release contains a biography of Mr. Wiese.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
