References to ‘‘TransMontaigne GP’’ or ‘‘our general partner’’ are intended, prior to the Take-Private Transaction, to mean TransMontaigne GP L.L.C., our general partner prior to the Take-Private Transaction. References to ‘‘ArcLight’’ are intended to mean ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VI, L.P., its affiliates and subsidiaries other than TransMontaigne GP, us and our subsidiaries. ITEMS 1 AND 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES On February 26, 2019, an affiliate of ArcLight acquired all of the Partnership’s outstanding publicly traded common units not already held by ArcLight and its affiliates by way of our merger (the “Merger”) with a wholly owned subsidiary of TLP Finance Holdings, LLC (“TLP Finance”), an indirect controlled subsidiary of Arclight. At the effective time of the Merger, each of the Partnership’s general partner units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the acquisition effective time was converted into (i)(a) one Partnership common unit, and (i)(b) in aggregate, a non-economic general partner interest in the Partnership, (ii) each of the Partnership’s incentive distribution rights issued and outstanding immediately prior to the acquisition effective time was converted into 100 Partnership common units, (iii) our general partner distributed its common units in the Partnership (the “Transferred GP Units”) to TLP Acquisition Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TLP Holdings”), and TLP Holdings contributed the Transferred GP Units to TLP Finance, (iv) the Partnership converted into the Company (a Delaware limited liability company) pursuant to Section 17- 219 of the Delaware Limited Partnership Act and changed its name to “TransMontaigne Partners LLC”, and all of our common units owned by TLP Finance were converted into limited liability company interests, (v) the non-economic interest in the Company owned by our general partner was automatically cancelled and ceased to exist and our general partner merged with and into the Company with the Company surviving, and (vi) the Company became 100% owned by TLP Finance (the transactions described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), collectively with the Merger, the “Take- Private Transaction”). As a result of the Take-Private Transaction, our common units ceased to be publicly traded, and our common units are no longer listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Our currently outstanding 6.125% senior unsecured notes due in 2026 remain outstanding, and the Company is voluntarily filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the covenants contained in those notes. Effective June 1, 2019, TLP Finance contributed all of the issued and outstanding equity of its wholly owned subsidiary, TLP Management Services LLC (“TMS” and such interest, the “TMS Interest”) to the Company, and the Company immediately contributed the TMS Interest to its 100% owned operating company subsidiary TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P. (the “TMS Contribution”). Prior to the TMS Contribution, we had no employees and all of our management and operational activities were provided by TMS. Further, TMS provided all payroll programs and maintained all employee benefits programs on behalf of our company with respect to applicable TMS employees (as well as on behalf of certain other Arclight affiliates). As a result of the TMS Contribution, we have assumed the employees and operational activities previously provided by TMS, except for our executive officers as further described below. The TMS Contribution has been recorded at carryover basis as a reorganization of entities under common control. As a result of the TMS Contribution, the omnibus agreement in place in various forms since the inception of the Partnership, and immediately prior to the TMS Contribution between TMS and us, which, among other things, governed the provision of management and operational services provided for us by TMS, is no longer relevant and was terminated. Following the TMS Contribution, our executive officers who provide services to the Company are employed by TransMontaigne Management Company, LLC (“TMC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ArcLight, which also provides services to certain other ArcLight affiliates. As a result, we do not directly employ any of the persons responsible for the 4 Table of Contents executive management of our business. Nonetheless, TMS continues to provide certain payroll functions and maintains all employee benefits programs on behalf of TMC pursuant to a services agreement between TMC and TMS. Overview We are a terminaling and transportation company with assets and operations in the United States along the Gulf Coast, in the Midwest, in Houston and Brownsville, Texas, along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, in the Southeast and along the West Coast. We provide integrated terminaling, storage, transportation and related services for customers engaged in the distribution and marketing of light refined petroleum products, heavy refined petroleum products, renewable products, crude oil, chemicals, fertilizers and other liquid products. In addition, our Tacoma, Washington terminal sells refined and renewable products to major fuel producers and marketers in the Pacific Northwest. Light refined products include gasolines, diesel fuels, heating oil and jet fuels. Heavy refined products include residual fuel oils and asphalt. Renewable products include ethanol, biodiesel, renewable diesel and relevant feedstocks. Our direct exposure to changes in commodity prices is limited to product sales out of our Tacoma, Washington terminal and the value of product gains and losses arising from terminaling services agreements with certain customers, which accounts for a small portion of our revenue. We use our owned and operated terminaling facilities to, among other things: receive refined products and renewable products from the pipeline, ship, barge or railcar making delivery on behalf of our customers and transfer those products to the tanks located at our terminals; store the products in our tanks for our customers; monitor the volume of the products stored in our tanks; distribute the products out of our terminals in vessels, railcars or truckloads using truck racks and other distribution equipment located at our terminals, including pipelines; and heat residual fuel oils and asphalt stored in our tanks. We also continue to provide ethanol logistics services and other services to the growing renewable products market, as well as to engage in blending activities related to the throughput process. Recent Developments Contribution of Pacific Northwest assets. On November 17, 2021, Arclight contributed Pike West Coast Holdings, LLC (“Pike West Coast”) a portfolio company of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VI, L.P. to the Company. Pike West Coast is an infrastructure company with significant operations across the renewable fuels supply chain in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (the “Pacific Northwest Contribution”). Pike West Coast owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Financing, LLC. SeaPort Financing, LLC owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Sound Terminal, LLC, which owns a refined and renewable products terminal in Tacoma, Washington, a 51% ownership interest in SeaPort Midstream Partners, LLC (“SeaPort Midstream”), which owns refined and renewable products terminals in both Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon, and a 30% ownership interest in Olympic Pipeline Company, LLC (“Olympic Pipeline Company”), which owns the Olympic Pipeline between Blaine, Washington and Portland, Oregon and a refined and renewable products terminal in Bayview, Washington. COVID-19. The ongoing pandemic involving COVID-19, a highly transmissible and pathogenic coronavirus, has resulted in restrictions on, and a public response with respect to, travel and economic activity that have reduced demand for crude oil, refined petroleum products, renewable products, and other products that we handle. Since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, we have taken proactive and sustained measures to deliver our services safely and reliably with limited negative impacts to our business. At the outset of the pandemic, we activated an Incident Support Team to execute our Infectious Disease Control Policy, and to focus on a number of priorities, including: (i) implement basic infection prevention techniques and other workplace protections in our business operations; (ii) identify and isolate individuals suspected of being infected by COVID-19; (iii) identify risk factors in our workforce that may increase the possibility of exposure to COVID-19; and (iv) develop a contingency plan for the possibility that a serious outbreak does occur in the area of any of our terminals. We continue to follow recommendations from public health authorities and maintain actions to help prevent our employees’ exposure to the spread of COVID-19, including, where practical, work-at-home plans enacted in March 2020 and the implementation of business continuity plans to enable the integrity of our operations and protect the health of our employees. 5 Table of Contents To date, our operations and employees have not been materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, thereby allowing our customers continued access and utilization of our strategic terminal network. We continue to employ all safety processes and procedures in the normal course. We provide an essential service across our markets, which has been recognized in most relevant regulatory guidance regarding COVID-19. Further, we have not experienced any material instance of our customers failing to meet their contractual commitments to us as a result of these recent developments. While many States and municipalities have recently reduced or eliminated COVID-19 related restrictions and policies, there continue to be many variables and uncertainties regarding COVID-19 — including the continued spread of the virus, or new variants thereof, the duration and severity of the outbreak and the potential for future travel restrictions and business closures, and medical advancements in treating and vaccinating against the disease and the availability and the resulting economic impact of any such advancements or vaccinations — to reasonably predict the potential longer-term impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations. We continue to monitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and practices to address the situation and actively protect our employees, and may adjust our current policies and practices as more information and guidance become available. In addition, recent economic conditions in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic have included inflationary pressure, which could result in higher operating expenses and project costs for us, as well as higher interest rates. 6 Table of Contents Assets and Operations Our terminals are located in six geographic regions, which we refer to as our Gulf Coast, Midwest, Brownsville, River, Southeast and West Coast terminals. In addition, we have unconsolidated investments in BOSTCO, Olympic Pipeline Company, SeaPort Midstream and Frontera (each defined below).

Our Gulf Coast terminals consist of eight active product terminals and comprise the largest terminal network in Florida. These terminals have approximately 6.9 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity in ports including Port Everglades, Miami and Cape Canaveral, which are among the busiest cruise ship ports in the nation. At our Gulf Coast terminals, we handle refined and renewable products and crude oil on behalf of, and provide integrated terminaling services to, customers engaged in the distribution and marketing of products and crude oil. Our Gulf Coast terminals receive products from vessels on behalf of our customers. In addition, our Jacksonville terminal also receives asphalt by rail, and our Port Everglades (North) terminal also receives product by truck. We distribute by truck or barge at all of our Gulf Coast terminals. In addition, we distribute products by pipeline at our Port Everglades and Tampa terminals. A major oil company retains an ownership interest, ranging from 25% to 50%, in specific tank capacity at our Port Everglades (South) terminal. We manage and operate the Port Everglades (South) terminal, and we are reimbursed by the major oil company for its proportionate share of our operating and maintenance costs. Midwest Terminals. In Missouri and Arkansas, we own the Razorback pipeline and terminals in Mount Vernon, Missouri, at the origin of the pipeline and in Rogers, Arkansas, at the terminus of the pipeline. We refer to these two terminals collectively as the Razorback terminals. The Razorback pipeline is a 67-mile, 8-inch diameter interstate common carrier pipeline that transports light refined product from our terminal at Mount Vernon, where it is interconnected with a pipeline system owned by a third party, to our terminal at Rogers. The Razorback pipeline has a capacity of approximately 30,000 barrels per day. The Razorback terminals have approximately 0.4 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity. Effective January 1, 2021, a third party leases the capacity, and assumed operatorship, of the Razorback pipeline and the terminals in Mount Vernon, Missouri and in Rogers, Arkansas. Our Rogers facility is the only products terminal located in Northwest Arkansas. We lease land in Cushing, Oklahoma and constructed storage tanks and associated infrastructure on the property for the receipt of crude oil by truck and pipeline, the blending of crude oil and the storage of approximately 1.0 million barrels of crude oil. We also own and operate a terminal facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with approximately 0.2 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity. Our Oklahoma City terminal receives gasolines and diesel fuels from pipeline systems owned by third parties for delivery via our truck rack for redistribution to locations throughout the Oklahoma City region. Brownsville, Texas Operations. We own and operate a product terminal with approximately 1.6 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity and related ancillary facilities in Brownsville independent of the Frontera joint venture, as well as the Diamondback pipeline which handles liquid product movements between south Texas and Mexico. At our Brownsville terminal we handle refined petroleum products, chemicals, vegetable oils, naphtha, and wax on behalf of, and provide integrated terminaling services to, customers engaged in the distribution and marketing of petroleum products. Our Brownsville facilities receive products on behalf of our customers from a pipeline system owned by a third party, vessels, by truck or railcar. The Diamondback pipeline consists of an 8” pipeline that previously transported propane approximately 16 miles from our Brownsville facilities to the U.S./Mexico border and a 6” pipeline, which runs parallel to the 8” pipeline that can be used by us in the future to transport additional refined products to Matamoros, Mexico. Operations on the Diamondback pipeline were shut down in the first quarter of 2018; however, we expect to recommission the Diamondback Pipeline and resume operations on both the 8” pipeline, providing gasoline service thereon, and the previously idle 6” pipeline, providing diesel service thereon, in the second half of 2022, and have previously filed revised tariffs with the FERC to support such activities. River Operations. Our River terminals are composed of 11 active product terminals located along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers with approximately 2.2 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity. Our River operations also include a dock facility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which is the only direct waterborne connection between the Colonial pipeline and Mississippi River waterborne transportation. At our River terminals, we handle renewable fuels, renewable fuel feedstocks, gasolines, diesel fuels, heating oil, chemicals and fertilizers on behalf of, and provide integrated terminaling services to, customers engaged in the distribution and marketing of products and 9 Table of Contents industrial and commercial end-users. Our River terminals receive products from vessels, barges and trucks on behalf of our customers and distribute products primarily to trucks and barges. Southeast Operations. Our Southeast terminals consist of 20 active product terminals located along the Colonial and Plantation pipelines in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia with an aggregate active storage capacity of approximately 12.3 million barrels. At our Southeast terminals, we handle gasolines, diesel fuels, ethanol, biodiesel, jet fuel and heating oil on behalf of, and provide integrated terminaling services to, customers engaged in the distribution and marketing of refined products. Our Southeast terminals primarily receive products from the Colonial and Plantation pipelines on behalf of our customers and distribute products primarily to trucks with the exception of the Collins terminal. The Collins terminal is the only independent terminal capable of storing and redelivering product to, from and between the Colonial and Plantation pipelines. West Coast Operations. Our West Coast terminals consist of three active product terminals with approximately 6.9 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity. Our two California terminals are well positioned with pipeline connections to three of the five local refineries and marine access to all five refineries in the San Francisco Bay area and direct connection to the Northern California products pipeline distribution system. Our Tacoma, Washington terminal is connected via pipeline to the four largest refineries in Washington and by marine to all five Washington refineries. The Tacoma terminal is the only independent terminal in the Puget Sound area with a unit train facility. The Tacoma terminal sells refined and renewable products to major fuel producers and marketers in the Pacific Northwest. At our West Coast terminals, we handle crude oil, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, gasoline blend stocks, fuel oil, Avgas, ethanol and other renewable products and feedstocks on behalf of, and provide integrated terminaling services to, customers engaged in the distribution and marketing of products. Our West Coast terminals primarily receive products from vessels, pipeline and rail facilities on behalf of our customers and distribute products primarily via vessel, pipeline, truck and rail facilities. Investment in BOSTCO. On December 20, 2012, we acquired a 42.5% Class A ownership interest in BOSTCO from Kinder Morgan Battleground Oil, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kinder Morgan. BOSTCO is a terminal facility on the Houston Ship Channel designed to handle residual fuel, feedstocks, distillates and other black oils. BOSTCO currently has fully subscribed capacity of approximately 7.1 million barrels. Our investment in BOSTCO entitles us to appoint a member to the Board of Managers of BOSTCO, to vote our proportionate ownership share on general governance matters and to certain rights of approval over significant changes in, or expansion of, BOSTCO’s business. Kinder Morgan is responsible for managing BOSTCO’s day-to-day operations. Our 42.5% Class A ownership interest does not allow us to control BOSTCO, but does allow us to exercise significant influence over its operations. Accordingly, we account for our investment in BOSTCO under the equity method of accounting. Investment in Olympic Pipeline Company. As part of the Pacific Northwest Contribution on November 17, 2021, we acquired a 30% ownership interest in Olympic Pipeline Company joint venture, which owns the Olympic Pipeline between Blaine, Washington and Portland, Oregon and the Bayview, Washington terminal with approximately 0.5 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity. The Olympic Pipeline is a 400-mile FERC regulated pipeline that serves as the primary refined product distribution pipeline in the Pacific Northwest. ARCO Midcon LLC, an affiliate of BP, owns the remaining 70% interest and operates both the Olympic Pipeline and the Bayview terminal. BP is responsible for managing Olympic Pipeline Company’s day-to-day operations. Our investment in Olympic Pipeline Company entitles us to appoint one member, out of two, to the Management Committee of Olympic Pipeline Company, to vote our proportionate ownership share on general governance matters and to certain rights of approval over significant changes in, or expansion of, Olympic Pipeline Company’s business. Our 30% ownership interest does not allow us to control Olympic Pipeline Company but does allow us to exercise significant influence over its operations. Accordingly, we account for our investment in Olympic Pipeline Company under the equity method of accounting. Investment in SeaPort Midstream. As part of the Pacific Northwest Contribution on November 17, 2021, we acquired a 51% ownership interest in SeaPort Midstream joint venture, which owns two terminals in Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon with approximately 1.3 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity. Each terminal is connected to the Olympic Pipeline and has multimodal connectivity, including rail, barge, tanker and truck. BP Mariner Holding Company LLC owns the remaining 49% interest in SeaPort Midstream. We operate the SeaPort Midstream assets under an operating and administrative agreement between us and SeaPort Midstream. Our investment in SeaPort 10 Table of Contents Midstream entitles us to appoint two, out of four, of the members to the Board of Managers, to vote our proportionate ownership share on general governance matters and to certain rights of approval over significant changes in, or expansion of, SeaPort Midstream’s business. Our ownership interest does not allow us to control SeaPort Midstream but does allow us to exercise significant influence over its operations. Accordingly, we account for our investment in SeaPort Midstream under the equity method of accounting. Investment in Frontera. On April 1, 2011, we contributed approximately 1.5 million barrels of light petroleum product storage capacity, as well as related ancillary facilities, to the Frontera joint venture, in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $25.6 million and a 50% ownership interest in the Frontera joint venture. An affiliate of PEMEX, Mexico’s state owned petroleum company, acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in Frontera for a cash payment of approximately $25.6 million. We operate the Frontera assets under an operations and reimbursement agreement between us and Frontera. Frontera has approximately 1.7 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity. Our 50% ownership interest does not allow us to control Frontera but does allow us to exercise significant influence over its operations. Accordingly, we account for our investment in Frontera under the equity method of accounting. Our Services and Revenue Streams We derive revenue from our terminal and pipeline transportation operations by charging fees for providing integrated terminaling, transportation and related services. In addition, our Tacoma, Washington terminal sells refined and renewable products to major fuel producers and marketers in the Pacific Northwest. The fees we charge and our other sources of revenue are composed of: ● Terminaling services fees. Our terminaling services agreements are structured as either throughput agreements or storage agreements. Our throughput agreements contain provisions that require our customers to make minimum payments, which are based on contractually established minimum volume of throughput of the customer’s product at our facilities over a stipulated period of time. Due to this minimum payment arrangement, we recognize a fixed amount of revenue from the customer over a certain period of time, even if the customer throughputs less than the minimum volume of product during that period. In addition, if a customer throughputs a volume of product exceeding the minimum volume, we would recognize additional revenue on this incremental volume. Our storage agreements require our customers to make minimum payments based on the volume of storage capacity available to the customer under the agreement, which results in a fixed amount of recognized revenue. We refer to the fixed amount of revenue recognized pursuant to our terminaling services agreements as being “firm commitments.” Revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments and revenue recognized based solely on the volume of product distributed or injected are referred to as “ancillary.” In addition, “ancillary” revenue also includes fees received from ancillary services including heating and mixing of stored products, product transfer, railcar handling, butane blending, proceeds from the sale of product gains, wharfage and vapor recovery. ● Pipeline transportation fees. We earned pipeline transportation fees at our Diamondback pipeline under a capacity reservation agreement that ended on May 26, 2021. Revenue associated with the capacity reservation agreement was recognized ratably over the respective term, regardless of whether the capacity was actually utilized. We earned pipeline transportation fees at our Razorback pipeline based on an allocation of the aggregate fees charged under the capacity agreement with our customer who was contracted for 100% of our Razorback system through December 31, 2020. Effective January 1, 2021, our customer has leased 100% of our Razorback system and assumed operatorship of the Razorback pipeline and the terminals in Mount Vernon, Missouri and in Rogers, Arkansas. Beginning in 2021, the fees associated with this lease agreement are recognized as terminaling services fees. ● Management fees. We manage and operate certain tank capacity at our Port Everglades South terminal for a major oil company and receive a reimbursement of its proportionate share of operating and maintenance costs. We manage and operate the Frontera joint venture and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. We lease land under operating leases as the lessor or sublessor with third parties and affiliates. We manage and operate rail sites at certain Southeast terminals on behalf of a major oil company and receive reimbursement for operating and maintenance costs. We manage and operate SeaPort Midstream 11 Table of Contents and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. We also manage additional terminal facilities that are owned by affiliates of ArcLight, including Lucknow-Highspire Terminals, LLC, which operates terminals throughout Pennsylvania encompassing approximately 9.9 million barrels of storage capacity, and prior to July 1, 2019, a terminal in Baltimore, Maryland for Pike Baltimore Terminals, LLC (the “Baltimore Terminal”), and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. Our management of the Baltimore Terminal ended on July 1, 2019. ● Product sales. Our product sales revenue refers to the sale of refined and renewable products at our Tacoma, Washington terminal. Product sales revenue pricing is contractually specified and is recognized at a point in time when our customers take control and legal title of the commodities purchased. Product sales revenue is recorded gross of cost of product sales, which includes product supply and transportation costs. Further detail regarding our financial information can be found under Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report. Business Strategies Generate stable cash flows through the use of long-term contracts with our customers. We intend to continue to generate stable and predictable cash flows by capitalizing on our high quality, well positioned and geographically diverse asset base, which is critical infrastructure for our customers. In addition, we seek to continue to enhance the stability of our business by focusing on our highly contracted assets, long-term relationships with high quality customers, fee-based cash flows and multi-year minimum revenue commitments. We generate revenue from customers who pay us fees based on the volume of terminal capacity contracted for, volume of products throughput at our terminals or volume of products transported in our pipelines. Attract additional volumes and products to our systems. We intend to attract new volumes of refined products, crude oil, renewable products, and specialty chemicals to our systems and terminals from existing and new customers by leveraging our asset base, continuing to provide superior customer service and through aggressively marketing our services to additional customers in our areas of operation. We have limited available capacity at certain terminal locations and our terminal facilities that have traditionally handled refined products are also well-positioned to service other products, including renewable products; as a result, we can accommodate additional volumes and varying products at a minimal incremental cost. Capitalize on organic growth opportunities associated with our existing assets. We continually seek to identify and evaluate economically attractive organic expansion and asset enhancement opportunities that leverage our existing asset footprint and strategic relationships with our customers. We intend to focus on projects that can be completed at a relatively low cost, that have potential for attractive returns, and that are responsive to changes in customer demand, including as it may relate to an increased demand for renewable products storage capacity and terminaling services. Maintain a disciplined financial policy. We will continue to pursue a disciplined financial policy by maintaining a prudent capital structure, managing our exposure to interest rate risk and conservatively managing our cash reserves. We believe this conservative capital structure will allow us to consider attractive growth projects and acquisitions even in challenging commodity price or capital market environments. Pursue strategic and accretive acquisitions. We plan to pursue accretive acquisitions of high quality, critical energy infrastructure assets that are complementary to our existing asset base or that provide attractive returns in new operating regions or business lines. We will pursue acquisitions in our areas of operation that we believe will allow us to realize operational efficiencies by capitalizing on our existing infrastructure, personnel and customer relationships. We will also seek acquisitions in new geographic areas or new but related business lines to the extent that we believe we can utilize our operational expertise to enhance our business with these acquisitions. 12 Table of Contents Competitive Conditions We face competition from other terminals and pipelines that may be able to supply our customers with integrated terminaling and transportation services on a more competitive basis. We compete with national, regional and local terminal and transportation companies, including the major integrated oil companies, of widely varying sizes, financial resources and levels of experience. These competitors include BP p.l.c., Buckeye Partners, L.P., Chevron U.S.A. Inc., CITGO Petroleum Corporation, Exxon Mobil Oil Corporation, HollyFrontier Corporation and its affiliate Holly Energy Partners, L.P., Kinder Morgan, Inc., Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P., Marathon Petroleum Corporation and its affiliate MPLX LP, Motiva Enterprises LLC, Murphy Oil Corporation, NuStar Energy L.P., Phillips 66 and its affiliate Phillips 66 Partners LP, Sunoco, Inc. and its affiliate Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P., and terminals in the Caribbean. In particular, our ability to compete could be harmed by factors we cannot control, including: ● price competition from terminal and transportation companies, some of which are substantially larger than we are and have greater financial resources, and control substantially greater storage capacity, than we do; ● the perception that another company can provide better service; and ● the availability of alternative supply points, or supply points located closer to our customers’ operations. We also compete with national, regional and local terminal and transportation companies for acquisition and expansion opportunities. Some of these competitors are substantially larger than us and have greater financial resources and lower costs of capital than we do. Significant Customer Relationships We generate revenue from our terminal and pipeline transportation operations by charging fees for providing integrated terminaling, transportation and related services. In addition, our Tacoma, Washington terminal sells refined and renewable products to major fuel producers and marketers in the Pacific Northwest. We have several significant customer relationships, our top 10 customers made up approximately 60% of the total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021. Terminals and Pipeline Control Operations The pipelines we own or operate are operated via wireless, radio and frame relay communication systems from a central control room located in Atlanta, Georgia. We also monitor activity at our terminals from this control room. The control center operates with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, or SCADA, systems. Our control center is equipped with computer systems designed to continuously monitor operational data, including product throughput, flow rates and pressures. In addition, the control center monitors alarms and throughput balances. The control center operates remote pumps, motors and valves associated with the receipt of refined products. The computer systems are designed to enhance leak-detection capabilities, sound automatic alarms if operational conditions outside of pre-established parameters occur and provide for remote-controlled shutdown of pump stations on the pipeline. Pump stations and meter- measurement points on the pipeline are linked by high speed communication systems for remote monitoring and control. In addition, our Collins terminal contains full back-up/redundant disaster recovery systems covering all of our SCADA systems. Government Regulation and Environmental Matters Our business is subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including relating to protection of the environment. We are committed to complying with these laws and regulations. To date, such compliance has not had a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity, or competitive position. Regulation. We are subject to regulation by the Department of Transportation Office of Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, or PHMSA, under the Pipeline Inspection, Protection, Enforcement and Safety Act of 2006, or PIPES, and comparable state statutes relating to the design, installation, testing, construction, operation, 13 Table of Contents replacement and management of the pipeline facilities we operate or own. PIPES covers petroleum and petroleum products pipelines and requires any entity that owns or operates such pipeline facilities to comply with certain regulations, to permit access to and copying of records, and to make certain reports and provide information as required by the Secretary of Transportation. We believe that we are in material compliance with PIPES and the regulations promulgated thereunder. PHMSA has promulgated regulations that require qualification of pipeline personnel. These regulations require pipeline operators to develop and maintain a written qualification program for individuals performing covered tasks on pipeline facilities. The intent of these regulations is to ensure a qualified work force and to reduce the probability and consequence of incidents caused by human error. The regulations establish qualification requirements for individuals performing covered tasks and amend certain training requirements in existing regulations. We believe that we are in material compliance with these PHMSA regulations. We also are subject to PHMSA regulations applicable to High Consequence Areas, or HCAs, for Category 2 pipeline systems (companies operating less than 500 miles of jurisdictional pipeline). These regulations specify how to assess, evaluate, repair and validate the integrity of pipeline segments that could impact populated areas, areas unusually sensitive to environmental damage and commercially navigable waterways, in the event of a release. The pipelines we own or manage are subject to these requirements. The regulations require an integrity management program that utilizes internal pipeline inspection, pressure testing, or other equally effective means to assess the integrity of pipeline segments in HCAs. The program requires periodic review of pipeline segments in HCAs to ensure adequate preventative and mitigating measures exist. Through this program, we evaluated a range of threats to each pipeline segment’s integrity by analyzing available information about the pipeline segment and consequences of a failure in an HCA. The regulations require prompt action to address integrity issues raised by the assessment and analysis. We have completed baseline assessments for all segments and believe that we are in material compliance with these PHMSA regulations. In October 2019, PHMSA submitted three major rules to the Federal Register, including rules focused on the safety of hazardous liquid pipelines and enhanced emergency order procedures. The safety of hazardous liquid pipelines rule extended leak detection requirements to all non-gathering hazardous liquid pipelines and requires operators to inspect affected pipelines following extreme weather events or natural disasters to address any resulting damage. This rule took effect on July 1, 2020. The enhanced emergency procedures rule focuses on increased emergency safety measures. In particular, this rule increases the authority of PHMSA to issue an emergency order that addresses unsafe conditions or hazards that pose an imminent threat to pipeline safety. This rule took effect on December 2, 2019. Our terminals also are subject to various state regulations regarding our storage of product in aboveground storage tanks. These regulations require, among other things, registration of tanks, financial assurances and inspection and testing, consistent with the standards established by the American Petroleum Institute. We have completed baseline assessments for all of the segments and believe that we are in material compliance with these aboveground storage tank regulations. We also are subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, or OSHA, and comparable state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA hazard communication standard, the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, community right-to-know regulations under Title III of the Federal Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act, and comparable state statutes require us to organize and disclose information about the hazardous materials used in our operations. Certain parts of this information must be reported to employees, state and local governmental authorities and local citizens upon request. We believe that we are in material compliance with OSHA and state requirements, including general industry standards, record keeping requirements and monitoring of occupational exposures. In general, we expect to increase our expenditures during the next decade to comply with higher industry and regulatory safety standards such as those described above. Although we cannot estimate the magnitude of such expenditures at this time, we do not believe that they will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. 14 Table of Contents Environmental Matters. Our operations are subject to stringent and complex laws and regulations pertaining to health, safety and the environment. As an owner or operator of product terminals and pipelines, we must comply with these laws and regulations at federal, state and local levels. These laws and regulations can restrict or impact our business activities in many ways, such as: ● requiring remedial action to mitigate releases of hydrocarbons, hazardous substances or wastes caused by our operations or attributable to former operators; ● requiring capital expenditures to comply with environmental control requirements; and ● enjoining the operations of facilities deemed in non-compliance with permits issued pursuant to such environmental laws and regulations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and criminal enforcement measures, including the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements, and the issuance of orders enjoining future operations. Certain environmental statutes impose strict, joint and several liability for costs required to cleanup and restore sites where hydrocarbons, hazardous substances or wastes have been released or disposed of. Moreover, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the release of hydrocarbons, hazardous substances or other wastes into the environment. The trend in environmental regulation is to place more restrictions and limitations on activities that may affect the environment. As a result, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of future expenditures that may be required for environmental compliance or remediation, and actual future expenditures may be different from the amounts we currently anticipate. We try to anticipate future regulatory requirements that may affect our operations and to plan accordingly to comply with and minimize the costs of such requirements. We believe that the various environmental activities in which we are presently engaged are not expected to materially interrupt or diminish our operational ability. We cannot assure, however, that future events, such as changes in existing laws, the promulgation of new laws, or the development or discovery of new facts or conditions will not cause us to incur significant costs. The following is a discussion of certain potential material environmental concerns that relate to our business. Water. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, renamed and amended as the Clean Water Act or CWA, imposes strict controls against the discharge of pollutants, including oil and its derivatives into navigable waters. The discharge of pollutants into regulated waters is prohibited except in accordance with the regulations issued by the EPA or the state. We are subject to various types of storm water discharge requirements at our terminals. The EPA and a number of states have adopted regulations that require us to obtain permits to discharge storm water run-off from our facilities. Such permits may require us to monitor and sample the effluent from our operations. The cost involved in obtaining and renewing these storm water permits is not material. We believe that we are in material compliance with effluent limitations at our facilities and with the CWA generally. The CWA provides penalties for any discharges of petroleum products in reportable quantities and imposes substantial potential liability for the costs of removing an oil or hazardous substance spill. State laws for the control of water pollution also provide for various civil and criminal penalties and liabilities in the event of a release of petroleum or its derivatives in surface waters or into the groundwater. Spill prevention control and countermeasure requirements of federal laws require, among other things, appropriate containment be constructed around product storage tanks to help prevent the contamination of navigable waters in the event of a product tank spill, rupture or leak. The primary federal law for oil spill liability is the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, as amended, or OPA, which addresses three principal areas of oil pollution—prevention, containment and cleanup. It applies to vessels, offshore platforms, and onshore facilities, including terminals, pipelines and transfer facilities. In order to handle, store or transport oil, facilities are required to file oil spill response plans with the United States Coast Guard, the Office of Pipeline Safety or the EPA. Numerous states have enacted laws similar to OPA. Under OPA and similar state laws, responsible parties for a regulated facility from which oil is discharged may be liable for removal costs and natural 15 Table of Contents resources damages. We believe that we are in material compliance with regulations pursuant to OPA and similar state laws. Contamination resulting from spills or releases of products is an inherent risk in the petroleum terminal and pipeline industry. To the extent that groundwater contamination requiring remediation exists around the facilities we own as a result of past operations, we believe any such contamination is being controlled or remedied without having a material adverse effect on our financial condition. However, such costs can be unpredictable and are site specific and, therefore, the effect may be material in the aggregate. Air Emissions. Our operations are subject to the federal Clean Air Act, or CAA, and comparable state and local statutes. The CAA requires most industrial operations in the United States to incur ongoing expenditures to meet the air emission control standards that are developed and implemented by the EPA and state environmental agencies. These laws and regulations regulate emissions of air pollutants from various industrial sources, including our operations, and also impose various monitoring and reporting requirements. Such laws and regulations may require a facility to obtain pre- approval for the construction or modification of certain projects or facilities expected to produce air emissions or result in the increase of existing air emissions and obtain and strictly comply with air permits containing requirements. Most of our terminaling operations require air permits. These operations generally include volatile organic compound emissions (primarily hydrocarbons) associated with truck loading activities and tank working and breathing losses. The sources of these emissions are strictly regulated through the permitting process. Such regulation includes stringent control technology and extensive permit review and periodic renewal. The cost involved in obtaining and renewing these permits is not material. Moreover, any of our facilities that emit volatile organic compounds or nitrogen oxides and are located in ozone non-attainment areas face increasingly stringent regulations, including requirements to install various levels of control technology on sources of pollutants. We believe that we are in material compliance with existing standards and regulations pursuant to the CAA and similar state and local laws, and we do not anticipate that implementation of additional regulations will have a material adverse effect on us. Congress and numerous states are currently considering proposed legislation directed at reducing “greenhouse gas emissions.” It is not possible at this time to predict how future legislation that may be enacted to address greenhouse gas emissions would impact our operations. We believe we are in compliance with existing federal and state greenhouse gas reporting regulations. Although future laws and regulations could result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions, they are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Hazardous and Solid Waste. Our operations are subject to the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, or RCRA, and comparable state laws, which impose detailed requirements for the handling, storage, treatment, and disposal of hazardous and solid waste. All of our terminal facilities are classified by the EPA as Very Small Quantity Generators. Our terminals do not generate hazardous waste except in isolated and infrequent cases. At such times, only third party disposal sites which have been audited and approved by us are used. Our operations also generate solid wastes that are regulated under state law or the less stringent solid waste requirements of RCRA. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with the existing requirements of RCRA and similar state and local laws, and the cost involved in complying with these requirements is not material. Site Remediation. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or CERCLA, also known as the “Superfund” law, and comparable state laws impose liability without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons responsible for the release of hazardous substances into the environment. Such classes of persons include the current and past owners or operators of sites where a hazardous substance was released, and companies that disposed or arranged for disposal of hazardous substances at offsite locations such as landfills. In the course of our operations we will generate wastes or handle substances that may fall within the definition of a “hazardous substance.” CERCLA authorizes the EPA and, in some cases, third parties to take actions in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek to recover from the responsible classes of persons the costs they incur. Under CERCLA, we could be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of 16 Table of Contents cleaning up and restoring sites where hazardous substances have been released, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. We believe that we are in material compliance with the existing requirements of CERCLA. We currently own, lease, or operate numerous properties and facilities that for many years have been used for industrial activities, including product terminaling operations. Hazardous substances, wastes, or hydrocarbons may have been released on or under the properties owned or leased by us, or on or under other locations where such substances have been taken for disposal. In addition, some of these properties have been operated by third parties or by previous owners whose treatment and disposal or release of hazardous substances, wastes, or hydrocarbons, was not under our control. These properties and the substances disposed or released on them may be subject to CERCLA, RCRA and analogous state laws. Under such laws, we could be required to remove previously disposed substances and wastes (including substances disposed of or released by prior owners or operators) or remediate contaminated property (including groundwater contamination, whether from prior owners or operators or other historic activities or spills). In connection with our acquisition of the Florida (other than Pensacola), Midwest, Brownsville, Texas, River, Southeast, and Pensacola, Florida terminals and facilities, a third party agreed to indemnify us against certain potential environmental claims, losses and expenses. Based on our current knowledge, we expect that the active remediation projects subject to the benefit of this indemnification obligation are winding down and will not involve material additional claims, losses, and expenses. Nonetheless, the forgoing environmental indemnification obligations of a third party to us remain in place and were not affected by the Take-Private Transaction. Endangered Species Act. The Endangered Species Act restricts activities that may affect endangered or threatened species or their habitats. While some of our facilities are in areas that may be designated as habitat for endangered or threatened species, we believe that we are in substantial compliance with the Endangered Species Act. However, the discovery of previously unidentified endangered or threatened species could cause us to incur additional costs or become subject to operating restrictions or bans in the affected area. Operational Hazards and Insurance. Our terminal and pipeline facilities may experience damage as a result of an accident or natural disaster. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage and suspension of operations. We maintain insurance of various types that we consider adequate to cover our operations, properties and loss of income at specified locations. Coverage for domestic acts of terrorism as defined in Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act 2007 are covered under certain of our casualty insurance policies. The insurance covers all of our facilities in amounts that we consider to be reasonable. The insurance policies are subject to deductibles that we consider reasonable and not excessive. Our insurance does not cover every potential risk associated with operating terminals, pipelines and other facilities. Consistent with insurance coverage generally available to the industry, our insurance policies provide limited coverage for losses or liabilities relating to pollution, with broader coverage for sudden and accidental occurrences. Tariff Regulation. The Razorback pipeline, which runs between Mount Vernon, Missouri and Rogers, Arkansas and the Diamondback pipeline, which runs between Brownsville, Texas and the U.S./Mexico border, transport petroleum products subject to regulation by the FERC under the Interstate Commerce Act and the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and rules and orders promulgated under those statutes. We expect to recommission the Diamondback Pipeline and resume operations on both the 8” pipeline, providing gasoline service thereon, and the previously idle 6” pipeline, providing diesel service thereon, in the second half of 2022, and have previously filed revised tariffs with the FERC to support such activities. FERC regulation requires that the rates of pipelines providing interstate service, such as the Razorback and Diamondback pipelines, be filed at FERC and posted publicly, and that these rates be “just and reasonable” and nondiscriminatory. Rates are currently regulated by the FERC primarily through an index methodology, whereby a pipeline is allowed to change its rates based on the change from year to year in the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods (PPI- FG), plus a 0.78 percent adjustment for the five-year period beginning July 1, 2021. In the alternative, interstate pipeline companies may elect to support rate filings by using a cost-of-service methodology, competitive market showings, or actual agreements (that is, negotiated rates agreements) between shippers and the oil pipeline company. 17 Table of Contents Negotiated Rates. The current rates charged by the Razorback pipeline and, upon recommencement of service, the Diamondback pipeline, are negotiated rates that were established via agreement with non-affiliated shippers and are not index rates or cost-of-service rates. Therefore, while we continue to monitor FERC’s policy changes with respect to index rates and cost-of-service rates, we do not expect such changes to have an adverse impact on the rates charged by the Razorback and Diamondback pipelines and do not discuss such changes here. The FERC generally has not investigated interstate oil pipeline rates on its own initiative when those rates have not been the subject of a protest or a complaint by a shipper. A shipper or other party having a substantial economic interest in our rates could, however, challenge our rates. In response to such challenges, the FERC could investigate our rates and require us to modify the amounts charged. In the absence of a challenge to our rates, given our ability to utilize either filed rates as annually indexed or to utilize rates tied to cost of service methodology, competitive market showing, or actual agreements between shippers and us, we do not believe that FERC’s regulations governing oil pipeline ratemaking would have any negative material monetary impact on us unless the regulations were substantially modified in such a manner so as to effectively prevent a pipeline company’s ability to earn a fair return for the shipment of petroleum products utilizing its transportation system, which we believe to be an unlikely scenario. In addition to being regulated by the FERC, we are required to maintain a Presidential Permit from the United States Department of State to operate and maintain the Diamondback pipeline, because the pipeline transports petroleum products across the international boundary line between the United States and Mexico. The Department of State’s regulations do not affect our rates but do require the agency’s approval for the international crossing. We do not believe that these regulations would have any negative material monetary impact on us unless the regulations were substantially modified, which we believe to be an unlikely scenario. Safety and Maintenance. We perform preventive and normal maintenance on the pipeline and terminal systems we operate or own and make repairs and replacements when necessary or appropriate. We also conduct routine and required inspections of the pipeline and terminal tanks we operate or own as required by code or regulation. External coatings and impressed current cathodic protection systems are used to protect against external corrosion. We conduct all cathodic protection work in accordance with National Association of Corrosion Engineers standards. We continually monitor, test, and record the effectiveness of these corrosion-inhibiting systems. We monitor or require the monitoring of the structural integrity of all of our PHMSA, regulated pipeline systems. These pipeline systems include the 67-mile Razorback pipeline; a 37-mile pipeline, known as the “Pinebelt pipeline,” located in Covington County, Mississippi that transports refined petroleum liquids between our Collins and Purvis bulk storage terminal facilities; approximately 5 miles of various diameter petroleum pipeline in and around Martinez, California; and the Diamondback pipeline. The maintenance of structural integrity includes a program of integrity management by us or required by us that conforms to Federal and State regulations and follows industry periodic inspection and testing guidelines. Beginning in 2002, PHMSA required internal inspections or other integrity testing of all PHMSA-regulated crude oil and refined product pipelines that affect or could affect high consequence areas, or HCA’s. We believe that the pipelines we own and manage meet or exceed all PHMSA inspection requirements for pipelines located in the United States. Maintenance facilities containing equipment for pipe repairs, spare parts, and trained response personnel are located along all of these pipelines. Employees participate in simulated spill response and deployment exercises on a regular basis. They also participate in actual spill response boom deployment exercises in planned spill scenarios in accordance with Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requirements. We believe that the pipelines we own and manage have been constructed and are maintained or are required to be maintained in all material respects in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and the regulations and standards prescribed by the American Petroleum Institute, PHMSA, and accepted industry practice. At our terminals, tanks designed for gasoline (or other high vapor pressure products) storage are equipped with internal or external floating roofs or alternative vapor control devices designed to minimize emissions and prevent potentially flammable vapor accumulation between fluid levels and the roof of the tank. Our terminal facilities have all required facility response plans, spill prevention and control plans and other plans and programs to respond to emergencies. 18 Table of Contents Many of our terminal loading racks are protected with fire protection systems activated by either heat sensors or an emergency switch. Several of our terminals also are protected by foam systems that are activated in case of fire. Title to Properties The Razorback and Diamondback pipelines are generally constructed on easements and rights-of-way granted by the apparent record owners of the property and in some instances these grants are revocable at the election of the grantor. Several rights-of-way for the Razorback pipeline and other real property assets are shared with other pipelines and other assets owned by third parties. In many instances, lands over which rights-of-way have been obtained are subject to prior liens that have not been subordinated to the right-of-way grants. We have obtained permits from public authorities to cross over or under, or to lay facilities in or along, watercourses, county roads, municipal streets, and state highways and, in some instances, these permits are revocable at the election of the grantor. We have also obtained permits from railroad companies to cross over or under lands or rights-of-way, many of which are also revocable at the grantor’s election. In some cases, property for pipeline purposes was purchased in fee. Some of the leases, easements, rights-of-way, permits, licenses and franchise ordinances transferred to us will require the consent of the grantor to transfer these rights, which in some instances is a governmental entity. We have obtained sufficient third-party consents, permits, and authorizations for the transfer of the facilities necessary for us to operate our business in all material respects as described in this Annual Report. With respect to any consents, permits, or authorizations that have not been obtained, we believe that these consents, permits, or authorizations will be obtained, or that the failure to obtain these consents, permits, or authorizations would not have a material adverse effect on the operation of our business. We believe that we have satisfactory title to all of our assets. Although title to these properties is subject to encumbrances in some cases, such as customary interests generally retained in connection with acquisition of real property, liens that can be imposed in some jurisdictions for government-initiated action to cleanup environmental contamination, liens for current taxes and other burdens, and easements, restrictions and other encumbrances to which the underlying properties were subject at the time of our acquisition, we believe that none of these burdens should materially detract from the value of these properties or from our interest in these properties or should materially interfere with their use in the operation of our business. Human Capital Management Employees. As a result of the TMS Contribution, we have assumed the employees and operational activities previously provided by TMS, except for our executive officers. Following the TMS Contribution, our executive officers who provide services to the Company are employed by TMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ArcLight, which also provides services to certain other ArcLight affiliates. Nonetheless, TMS continues to provide certain payroll functions and maintains all employee benefits programs on behalf of TMC pursuant to a services agreement between TMC and TMS. As of March 31, 2022, we had approximately 535 employees. Attracting, Retaining and Developing Personnel. We face a competitive talent environment, including having an aging workforce. Maintaining appropriate headcount levels is critical to the operation of our terminals and other assets. To attract and retain a successful workforce, we study market trends, benchmarking the attractiveness of our employee value proposition, and analyzing retention data. We also focus on driving employee engagement, which is key to increasing employee productivity, retention, and safety. We take a data-centric approach, including the use of quarterly surveys among management employees, to identify new initiatives that will help boost engagement and drive business results. Employee Safety and Training. Employee health and safety and community safety are at the core of our operating principles. We are continuously monitoring and seeking to improve our safety performance. We measure this performance by tracking internal metrics such as incident rates. Our internal safety-audit program incorporates a risk based, terminal specific design that helps to ensure our continuous compliance with safety regulations and industry 19 Table of Contents standards. We provide terminal personnel with ongoing safety compliance training, and we recognize our terminal employees with annual safety awards. All accident, incident, injury/lost-time and near-miss events are investigated and reviewed by our dedicated safety and health department and reported to executive management and, as applicable, to terminal managers, vendors, and employees. We use this investigation, review and reporting to translate events into safety/operational enhancements, policy changes, training, or discipline, in each case as appropriate, to mitigate the potential for recurrence. We have been recognized by the International Liquids Terminals Association (ILTA) multiple times for safety excellence. Employee Development and Retention. We also emphasize developing personnel in connection with employee attraction and retainage efforts, as well as in connection with the efficient operation of our business. We provide a range of developmental programs, opportunities, skills, and resources for our employees to work safely and be successful in their careers. For example, we have a formalized terminal manager training and career advancement process to develop and promote talent from within. We provide hands-on training and simulation training designed to improve training effectiveness and safety outcomes. We also use modern learning and performance technologies to offer robust professional growth opportunities. Through on-demand digital course offerings, custom-built learning paths, and performance-management tools, our platforms deliver a contemporary, convenient, and inclusive approach to professional development. Finally, we are committed to recruiting the most qualified, talented, and diverse people. We strive to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace where a wide range of perspectives and experiences are represented, valued, and empowered to thrive. While our current workforce reflects a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, we continue to focus on building an even more diverse workforce. Available Information We file annual, quarterly, and current reports, and other documents with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC maintains an Internet website that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The public can obtain any documents that we file at http://www.sec.gov. In addition, our annual reports on Form 10-K, as well as our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to all of the foregoing reports, are made available free of charge on or through the “Investor” section of our website at www.transmontaignepartners.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS Our business, operations and financial condition are subject to various risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors together with all of the other information set forth in this Annual Report, including the matters addressed under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” in connection with any investment in our securities. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected, which could result in investors in our securities losing all or part of their investment. Risks Inherent in Our Business We depend upon a relatively small number of customers for a substantial majority of our revenue. A substantial reduction of revenue from one or more of these customers would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We expect to derive a substantial majority of our revenue from several significant customers for the foreseeable future. Events that adversely affect the business operations of any one or more of our significant customers may adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. Therefore, we are indirectly subject to the business risks of our significant customers, many of which are similar to the business risks we face. For example, a material decline in 20 Table of Contents refined petroleum product supplies available to our customers, or a significant decrease in our customers’ ability to negotiate marketing contracts on favorable terms, could result in a material decline in the use of our tank capacity or throughput of product at our terminal facilities, which would likely cause our revenue and results of operations to decline. In addition, if any of our significant customers were unable to meet their contractual commitments to us for any reason, then our revenue and cash flow would decline. We are exposed to the credit risks of our significant customers which could affect our creditworthiness. Any material nonpayment or nonperformance by such customers could also adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We have various credit terms with virtually all of our customers, and our customers have varying degrees of creditworthiness. Although we evaluate the creditworthiness of each of our customers, we may not always be able to fully anticipate or detect deterioration in their creditworthiness and overall financial condition, which could expose us to risks of loss resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our significant customers. Some of our significant customers may be highly leveraged and subject to their own operating and regulatory risks. Any material nonpayment or nonperformance by our significant customers could require us to pursue substitute customers for our affected assets or provide alternative services. There can be no assurance that any such efforts would be successful or would provide similar revenue. These events could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our continued expansion programs may require access to additional capital. Tightened capital markets or more expensive capital could impair our ability to maintain or grow our operations. Our primary liquidity needs are to fund our approved capital projects and future expansion. Our revolving credit facility provides for a maximum borrowing line of credit equal to $150 million. At December 31, 2021, our outstanding borrowings were $nil. At December 31, 2021, the capital expenditures to complete the approved additional investments and expansion capital projects are estimated to be approximately $35 million. We expect to fund our future investments and expansion capital expenditures with cash flows from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. If we cannot obtain adequate financing to complete the approved investments and capital projects while maintaining our current operations, we may not be able to continue to operate our business as it is currently conducted. Moreover, our long term business strategies include acquiring additional energy-related terminaling and transportation facilities and further expansion of our existing terminal capacity. We will need to raise additional funds to grow our business and implement these strategies. We anticipate that such additional funds may be raised through equity contributions from ArcLight or debt financings depending on the circumstances. Any equity contributions or debt financing, if available at all, may not be on terms that are favorable to us. Limitations on our access to capital could result from events or causes beyond our control, and could include, among other factors, significant increases in interest rates, increases in the risk premium required by investors, generally or for investments in energy-related companies, decreases in the availability of credit or the tightening of terms required by lenders. If we cannot obtain adequate financing, we may not be able to fully implement our business strategies, and our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected. Our debt levels may limit our flexibility in obtaining additional financing and in pursuing other business opportunities. As of December 31, 2021, we had total long-term debt of $1.3 billion and we had an unused borrowing base availability of $150 million under our revolving credit facility. Our level of debt could have important consequences to us. For example our level of debt could: ● impair our ability to obtain additional financing, if necessary, for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes; ● require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to make principal and interest payments on our debt, reducing the funds that would otherwise be available for operations and future business opportunities; 21 Table of Contents ● make us more vulnerable to competitive pressures, changes in interest rates or a downturn in our business or the economy generally; or ● limit our flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions. If our operating results are not sufficient to service our current or future indebtedness, we will be forced to take actions such as reducing or delaying our business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our debt or seeking additional equity capital. We may not be able to affect any of these actions on satisfactory terms, or at all. Restrictive covenants in our senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility, the indenture governing our senior notes and future debt instruments may limit our ability to respond to changes in market conditions or pursue business opportunities. Our senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility and the indenture governing our senior notes contain, and the terms of any future indebtedness may contain, restrictive covenants that limit our ability to, among other things: ● incur or guarantee additional debt; ● make distributions under certain circumstances; ● make certain investments and acquisitions; ● incur certain liens or permit them to exist; ● enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; ● merge or consolidate with another company or undergo a change in control; and ● transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of assets. Our senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility also contains covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios and tests. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and there is no assurance that that we will meet any such ratios and tests. The provisions of our senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility may affect our ability to obtain future financing and pursue attractive business opportunities and our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in business conditions. In addition, a failure to comply with the provisions of our debt agreements could result in a default or an event of default that could enable our lenders to declare the outstanding principal of that debt, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable. If the payment of our debt is accelerated, our assets may be insufficient to repay such debt in full, and our security-holders could experience a partial or total loss of their investment. Please read “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” We may incur substantial additional indebtedness, which could further exacerbate the risks that we may face. Subject to the restrictions in the instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness, we may incur substantial additional indebtedness (including secured indebtedness) in the future. Although the instruments governing our outstanding indebtedness do contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions will be subject to waiver and a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. As of December 31, 2021, we had additional borrowing capacity of $150 million under our revolving credit facility, all of which would be secured if borrowed. 22 Table of Contents Any increase in our level of indebtedness will have several important effects on our future operations, including, without limitation: ● we will have additional cash requirements in order to support the payment of interest on our outstanding indebtedness; ● increases in our outstanding indebtedness and leverage will increase our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic and industry conditions, as well as to competitive pressure; and ● depending on the levels of our outstanding indebtedness, our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures and general company purposes may be limited. The obligations of our customers under their terminaling services agreements may be reduced or suspended in some circumstances, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our agreements with our customers provide that, if any of a number of events occur, which we refer to as events of force majeure, and the event renders performance impossible with respect to a facility, usually for a specified minimum period of days, our customer’s obligations would be temporarily suspended with respect to that facility. Force majeure events include, but are not limited to, wars, acts of enemies, embargoes, import or export restrictions, strikes, lockouts, acts of nature, including fires, storms, floods, hurricanes, explosions and mechanical or physical failures of our equipment or facilities or those of third parties. In the event of a force majeure, a significant customer’s minimum revenue commitment may be reduced or the contract may be subject to termination. As a result, our revenue and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. A significant portion of our operations are conducted through joint ventures, over which we do not maintain full control and which have unique risks. A significant portion of our operations are conducted through joint ventures. We are entitled to appoint members to the BOSTCO and Olympic Pipeline Company board of managers and maintain certain rights of approval over significant changes to, or expansion of, BOSTCO’s or Olympic Pipeline Company’s business, however Kinder Morgan serves as the operator of BOSTCO and is responsible for its day-to-day operations and an affiliate of BP serves as the operator of Olympic Pipeline Company and is responsible for its day-to-day operations. Although we serve as the operator of Frontera and SeaPort Midstream, and are responsible for the day-to-day operations of each, there are restrictions and limitations on our authority to take certain material actions absent the consent of our joint venture partner. With respect to our existing joint ventures, we share ownership with partners that may not always share our goals and objectives. Differences in views among the partners may result in delayed decisions or failures to agree on major matters, such as large expenditures or contractual commitments, the construction of assets or borrowing money, among others. Delay or failure to agree may prevent action with respect to such matters, even though such action may not serve our best interest or that of the joint venture. Accordingly, delayed decisions and disagreements could adversely affect the business and operations of the joint ventures and, in turn, our business and operations. From time to time, our joint ventures may be involved in disputes or legal proceedings which may negatively affect our investments. Accordingly, any such occurrences could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Competition from other terminals and pipelines that are able to supply our customers with storage capacity at a lower price could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We face competition from other terminals and pipelines that may be able to supply our customers with integrated terminaling services on a more competitive basis. We compete with national, regional and local terminal and pipeline companies, including the major integrated oil companies, of widely varying sizes, financial resources and experience. Our ability to compete could be harmed by factors we cannot control, including: 23 Table of Contents ● price competition from terminal and transportation companies, some of which are substantially larger than us and have greater financial resources and control substantially greater product storage capacity, than we do; ● the perception that another company may provide better service; and ● the availability of alternative supply points or supply points located closer to our customers’ operations. In addition, our affiliates, including ArcLight, may engage in competition with us. If we are unable to compete with services offered by our competitors, including ArcLight and its affiliates, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Many of our terminal facilities are connected to, and rely on, pipelines owned and operated by third parties for the receipt and distribution of refined petroleum products, and such pipeline operators may compete with us, make changes to their transportation service offerings or their pipeline tariffs, or suffer outages or reduced product transportation, which in each case would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our Southeast facilities include 20 active product terminals located along the Plantation and Colonial pipeline systems and primarily receive refined products from Plantation and Colonial on behalf of our customers. In addition, the Collins terminal receives from, delivers to, and transfers refined petroleum products between the Plantation and Colonial pipeline systems. In these instances, we depend on our terminals’ connections to such petroleum pipelines owned and operated by third parties to supply our terminal facilities. Our ability to compete in a particular terminal market could be harmed by factors we cannot control, including changes in pipeline service offerings at one or more of our terminals or changes in pipeline tariffs that make alternative third party terminal locations or different transportation options more attractive to our current or prospective customers. The FERC regulates the rates the pipeline operators can charge, and the terms and conditions they can offer, for interstate transportation service on refined products pipelines that connect to our terminals. Generally, petroleum products pipelines may change their rates within prescribed levels, which could lead our current or prospective customers to seek alternative delivery methods or destinations. Moreover, we cannot control or predict the amount of refined petroleum products that our customers are able to transport on the third party pipelines connecting into our terminals. The level of throughput on these pipelines can be impacted by a number of factors, including the quality or quantity of refined product produced, pipeline outages or interruptions due to weather-related or other natural causes, competitive forces, testing, line repair, damage, reduced operating pressures or other causes any of which could negatively impact our customers’ shipments to our terminals. As a result our revenue, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. Expanding our business by constructing new facilities subjects us to risks that the project may not be completed on schedule and that the costs associated with the project may exceed our estimates or budgeted costs, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. The construction of additions or modifications to our existing terminal and transportation facilities, and the construction of new terminals and pipelines, involves numerous regulatory, environmental, political, legal and operational uncertainties beyond our control and requires the expenditure of significant amounts of capital. If we undertake these projects, they may not be completed on schedule or at all and may exceed the budgeted cost. If we experience material cost overruns, we would have to finance these overruns using cash from operations, delaying other planned projects, incurring additional indebtedness or obtaining additional equity. Any or all of these methods may not be available when needed or may adversely affect our future results of operations and cash flows. Moreover, our revenue may not increase immediately upon the expenditure of funds on a particular project. For instance, if we construct additional storage capacity, the construction may occur over an extended period of time, and we will not receive any material increases in revenue until the project is completed. Moreover, we may construct additional storage capacity to capture anticipated future growth in consumption of products in a market in which such growth does not materialize. In addition, continuing supply chain issues and recent inflationary pressure that emerged during the economic recovery 24 Table of Contents following the COVID-19 pandemic are likely to impact the completion timetable and/or increase our costs for construction materials. Recent inflationary pressures could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations. The operation of our assets and the execution of expansion projects require significant expenditures for materials, property, equipment, labor and services. The high inflationary pressures that emerged during the economic recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic could result in higher operating expenses and project costs for us, as well as higher interest rates, and we may not be able to pass these increased costs on to our customers in the form of higher fees for our services. In response to rising inflation, we expect interest rates to increase, which will increase the interest expense related to our variable interest rate debt. Changes in price levels that lead to decreases in our revenue or increases in the prices we pay to operate, maintain and expand our assets could adversely affect our business. Adverse economic conditions periodically result in weakness and volatility, or higher interest rates, in the capital markets, that may limit, temporarily or for extended periods, the ability of one or more of our significant customers to secure financing arrangements adequate to purchase their desired volume of product, which could reduce use of our tank capacity and throughput volumes at our terminal facilities and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Domestic and international economic conditions affect the functioning of capital markets and the availability of credit. Adverse economic conditions periodically result in weakness and volatility in the capital markets, which in turn can limit, temporarily or for extended periods, the credit available, and/or make such credit more costly, to various enterprises, including those involved in the supply and marketing of products. As a result of these conditions, some of our customers may suffer short or long-term reductions in their ability to finance their supply and marketing activities, or may voluntarily elect to reduce their supply and marketing activities in order to preserve working capital. A significant decrease in our customers’ ability to secure financing arrangements adequate to support their historic product throughput volumes could result in a material decline in the use of our tank capacity or the throughput of product at our terminal facilities. We may not be able to generate sufficient additional revenue from third parties to replace any shortfall in revenue from our current customers, which would likely cause our revenue, results of operations and cash flows to decline. Our business involves many hazards and operational risks, including adverse weather conditions, which could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and increased operating costs. Our operations are subject to the many hazards inherent in the terminaling and transportation of products, including: ● leaks or accidental releases of products or other materials into the environment, whether as a result of human error or otherwise; ● extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes, tropical storms and rough seas, which are common along the Gulf Coast, and earthquakes, which are common along the West Coast; ● explosions, fires, accidents, mechanical malfunctions, faulty measurement and other operating errors; ● epidemic or pandemic diseases; or ● acts of terrorism or vandalism. If any of these events were to occur, we could suffer substantial losses because of personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of storage tanks, pipelines and related property and equipment, and pollution or other environmental damage resulting in curtailment or suspension of our related operations and potentially substantial unanticipated costs for the repair or replacement of property and environmental cleanup. In addition, if we suffer accidental releases or spills of products at our terminals or pipelines, we could be faced with material third-party costs and liabilities, including those relating to claims for damages to property and persons and governmental claims for natural resource damages or fines or penalties for related violations of environmental laws or regulations. We are not 25 Table of Contents fully insured against all risks to our business and if losses in excess of our insurance coverage were to occur, they could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Furthermore, events like hurricanes can affect large geographical areas which can cause us to suffer additional costs and delays in connection with subsequent repairs and operations because contractors and other resources are not available, or are only available at substantially increased costs following widespread catastrophes. We are not fully insured against all risks incident to our business, and could incur substantial liabilities as a result. We may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance of the type and amount we desire at reasonable rates. As a result of market conditions, premiums and deductibles for certain of our insurance policies have increased substantially, and could escalate further. In some instances, certain insurance could become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage. For example, our insurance carriers require broad exclusions for losses due to terrorist acts. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. In accordance with typical industry practice, we do not have any property or title insurance on the Razorback and Diamondback pipelines. Our insurance policies each contain caps on the insurer’s maximum liability under the policy, and claims made by us are applied against the caps. In the event we reach the cap, we would seek to acquire additional insurance in the marketplace; however, we can provide no assurance that such insurance would be available or if available, at a reasonable cost. A significant decrease in demand for refined products due to alternative fuel sources, new technologies or adverse economic conditions, including rising fuel prices, may cause one or more of our significant customers to reduce their use of our tank capacity and throughput volumes at our terminal facilities, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Market uncertainties, adverse economic conditions or lack of consumer confidence, in each case, may result in lower consumer spending on gasolines, distillates and travel, and higher prices of refined products could cause a reduction in demand for refined products, which could result in a material decline in the use of our tank capacity or throughput of product at our terminal facilities. Additionally, the volatility in the price of refined products may render our customers’ hedging activities ineffective, which could cause one or more of our significant customers to decrease their supply and marketing activities in order to reduce their exposure to price fluctuations. Additional factors that could lead to a decrease in market demand for refined products include: ● an increase in the market price of crude oil that leads to higher refined product prices; ● higher fuel taxes or other governmental or other regulatory actions that increase, directly or indirectly, the cost of gasolines or other refined products; ● a shift by consumers to more fuel-efficient or alternative fuel vehicles or an increase in fuel economy, whether as a result of technological advances by manufacturers, pending legislation proposing to mandate higher fuel economy, rising fuel prices or otherwise; ● an increase in the use of alternative fuel sources, such as ethanol, biodiesel, fuel cells and solar, electric and battery-powered engines (although, we do handle or would be capable of handling many renewable products at most of our terminal facilities); or ● events that impact global market demand in a way that is not presently possible to predict, including impacts from global or regional conflicts, and global health epidemics and concerns, such as the coronavirus (COVID-19). Mergers between our existing customers and our competitors could provide strong economic incentives for the combined entities to utilize their existing systems instead of ours in those markets where the systems compete. As a 26 Table of Contents result, we could lose some or all of the volumes and associated revenues from these customers and we could experience difficulty in replacing those lost volumes and revenues. Because most of our operating costs are fixed, any decrease in throughput volumes at our terminal facilities, would likely result not only in a decrease in our revenue, but also a decline in cash flow of a similar magnitude, which would adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Cyber-attacks that circumvent our security measures and other breaches of our information technology systems, or a failure of our critical information technology systems, could disrupt our operations and result in increased costs. We utilize information technology systems to operate our assets and manage our businesses. A cyber-attack or other security breach of our information technology systems could result in a breach of critical operational or financial controls and lead to a disruption of our operations, commercial activities or financial processes, including as a result of attempts to seek ransom from the Company. Additionally, we rely on third-party systems that could also be subject to cyber-attacks or security breaches, and the failure of which could have a significant adverse effect on the operation of our assets. We and the operators of the third-party systems on which we depend may not have the resources or technical sophistication to anticipate or prevent every emerging type of cyber-attack, and such an attack, or the additional security measures undertaken to prevent such an attack, could adversely affect our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In addition, we collect and store sensitive data, including our proprietary business information and information about our customers, suppliers and other counterparties, and personally identifiable information of our employees and of employees of TMC, on our information technology networks. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored therein could be accessed, publicly disseminated, lost or stolen. Any such access, dissemination or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, regulatory penalties or could disrupt our operations, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We could also face attempts to obtain unauthorized access to our information technology systems, proprietary business information, and information about our customers by targeting acts of deception against individuals with legitimate access to physical locations or information. We regularly remind our officers and the employees providing services to the Company of these risks, and we annually update our executive team as to current and evolving risks relating to a variety of cyber-attacks; however, these efforts are not guaranteed to prevent the effectiveness of these cyber-attacks or any losses that may arise as a result thereof. In addition to a cyber-attack or other security breach of our information technology systems, a failure of one or more of our critical information technology systems could result in a failure of critical operational or financial controls and lead to a disruption of our operations, commercial activities or financial processes. Such failures could disrupt our operations and/or adversely affect our business. Because of our lack of asset diversification, adverse developments in our terminals or pipeline operations could adversely affect our revenue and cash flows. We rely exclusively on the revenue generated from our terminals and pipeline operations. Because of our lack of diversification in asset type, an adverse development in these businesses would have a significantly greater impact on our financial condition and results of operations than if we maintained more diverse assets. Our operations are subject to governmental laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment that may expose us to significant costs and liabilities. Our business is subject to the jurisdiction of numerous governmental agencies that enforce complex and stringent laws and regulations with respect to a wide range of environmental, safety and other regulatory matters. We 27 Table of Contents could be adversely affected by increased costs resulting from stricter pollution control requirements or liabilities resulting from non-compliance with required operating or other regulatory permits. New environmental laws and regulations might adversely impact our activities, including the transportation, storage and distribution of petroleum products. Federal, state and local agencies also could impose additional safety requirements, any of which could affect our profitability. Furthermore, our failure to comply with environmental or safety related laws and regulations also could result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory and remedial obligations and even the issuance of injunctions that restrict or prohibit the performance of our operations. Federal, state and local agencies also have the authority to prescribe specific product quality specifications of refined products. Changes in product quality specifications or blending requirements could reduce our throughput volume, require us to incur additional handling costs or require capital expenditures. For example, different product specifications for different markets impact the fungibility of the products in our system and could require the construction of additional storage. If we are unable to recover these costs through increased revenues, our cash flows could be adversely affected. Terrorist attacks, and the threat of terrorist attacks, have resulted in increased costs to our business. Continued hostilities in the Ukraine, Middle East or other sustained military campaigns may adversely impact our cash flows. The long-term impact of terrorist attacks, such as the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, and the threat of future terrorist attacks, on the energy transportation industry in general, and on us in particular, is impossible to predict. Increased security measures that we have taken as a precaution against possible terrorist attacks have resulted in increased costs to our business. Uncertainty surrounding continued hostilities in the Ukraine, Middle East or other sustained military campaigns may affect our operations in unpredictable ways, including the possibility that infrastructure facilities could be direct targets of, or indirect casualties of, an act of terrorism. Many of our storage tanks and portions of our pipeline system have been in service for several decades and could require increased maintenance or remediation expenditures, which could adversely affect our results of operations and our cash flows. Our pipeline and storage assets are generally long-lived assets. As a result, some of those assets have been in service for many decades. The age and condition of these assets could result in increased maintenance or remediation expenditures. Any significant increase in these expenditures could adversely affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of “greenhouse gases” or setting fuel economy or air quality standards could result in increased operating costs or reduced demand for the refined petroleum products that we transport, store or otherwise handle in connection with our business. In response to findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases present an endangerment to human health and the environment, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has adopted regulations under existing provisions of the federal Clean Air Act that, among other things, establish pre-construction and operating permit requirements for certain large stationary sources. The EPA has also adopted rules requiring the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from specified onshore and offshore natural gas and oil sources in the United States on an annual basis. Although Congress has from time to time considered legislation to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, there has not been significant activity in the form of adopted legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the federal level in recent years. In the absence of such federal climate change legislation, a number of states, including states in which we operate, have enacted or passed measures to track and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, primarily through the planned development of greenhouse gas emission inventories and regional greenhouse gas cap-and-trade programs. Most of these cap-and-trade programs require major sources of emissions or major producers of fuels to acquire and surrender emission allowances, with the number of allowances available for purchase reduced each year until the overall greenhouse gas emission reduction goal is achieved. 28 Table of Contents In addition, in December 2015, over 190 countries, including the United States, reached an agreement to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions (the “Paris Agreement”). The Paris Agreement entered into force in November 2016 after more than 170 nations, including the United States, ratified or otherwise indicated their intent to be bound by the agreement. In June 2017, former President Trump announced that the United States intended to withdraw from the Paris Agreement and to seek negotiations either to reenter the Paris Agreement on different terms or a separate agreement and in November 2019, the United States formally initiated the withdrawal process. However, on January 20, 2021, President Biden announced that the United States would rejoin the Paris Agreement. To the extent that the United States and other countries implement this agreement or impose other climate change regulations on the oil and natural gas industry, it could have an adverse effect on our business. In particular, the adoption and implementation of regulations that require the reporting of greenhouse gases or otherwise limit emissions of greenhouse gases from our equipment and operations could require us to incur costs to monitor and report on greenhouse gas emissions or install new equipment to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases associated with our operations. We may be unable to include some or all of these increased costs in the fees we charge to our customers and any such recovery may depend on events beyond our control, including the provisions of any final legislation or implementing regulations. Further, these regulatory initiatives could drive down demand for the refined petroleum products, natural gas and other hydrocarbon products we transport, store or otherwise handle in connection with our business by stimulating demand for alternative forms of energy that do not rely on the combustion of fossil fuels. Such decreased demand could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, floods and other climate events. If any such effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our assets and operations. Risks Inherent in an Investment in Us ArcLight indirectly controls the conduct of our business and the management of our operations. ArcLight has conflicts of interest with and limited fiduciary duties to us, which may permit them to favor their own interests to our detriment. ArcLight is our sole equity-holder. Therefore, conflicts of interest may arise between ArcLight and its affiliates and subsidiaries, on the one hand, and us, on the other hand. In resolving those conflicts of interest, ArcLight may favor its own interests and the interests of its affiliates over the interests of the Company. These conflicts include, among others, the following potential conflicts of interest: ● ArcLight and its affiliates may engage in competition with us under certain circumstances; ● Neither our operating agreement nor any other agreement requires ArcLight or its affiliates to pursue a business strategy that favors us. This entitles ArcLight to consider only the interests and factors that it desires, and it has no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of, or factors affecting, us, our affiliates or any other security-holder. ArcLight’s directors and officers have fiduciary duties to make decisions in the best interests of ArcLight, which may be contrary to our interests or the interests of our customers; ● Our operating agreement does not restrict ArcLight from causing us to pay it or its affiliates for any services rendered to us or entering into additional contractual arrangements with any of these entities on our behalf; ● ArcLight is allowed to take into account the interests of parties other than us, such as ArcLight, or its affiliates, in resolving conflicts of interest. Specifically, in determining whether a transaction or resolution is “fair and reasonable,” ArcLight may consider the totality of the relationships between the parties involved, including other transactions that may be particularly advantageous or beneficial to us; 29 Table of Contents ● Our officers are officers of affiliates of Arclight, and we are managed by TLP Finance, our direct parent and a controlled subsidiary of ArcLight, and also devote significant time to the business of these entities and are compensated accordingly; ● ArcLight has limited its liability and reduced its fiduciary duties, and also has restricted the remedies available to any party for actions that, without the limitations, might constitute breaches of fiduciary duty. ArcLight will not have any liability to us for decisions made in its capacity as our sole equity-holder so long as it acted in good faith, meaning it believed that its decision was in the best interests of our company; ● ArcLight determines the amount and timing of acquisitions and dispositions, capital expenditures, borrowings, issuance of additional securities, and reserves, each of which can affect our cash flows; ● ArcLight determines the amount and timing of any capital expenditures by our company and whether a capital expenditure is a maintenance capital expenditure, which reduces operating surplus, or an expansion capital expenditure, which does not reduce operating surplus, which can affect our cash flows; ● ArcLight and its officers and directors will not be liable for monetary damages to us, our security-holders or assignees for any acts or omissions unless there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that ArcLight or those other persons acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud or willful misconduct; or ● ArcLight decides whether to retain separate counsel, accountants or others to perform services on our behalf. ArcLight and its affiliates may compete with us and do not have any obligation to present business opportunities to us. Neither our operating agreement nor any other agreement will prohibit ArcLight or its affiliates from owning assets or engaging in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. In addition, ArcLight and its affiliates may acquire, construct or dispose of midstream assets or other assets in the future without any obligation to offer us the opportunity to purchase any of those assets. ArcLight and its affiliates are large, established participants in the energy industry and may have greater resources than we have, which may make it more difficult for us to compete with these entities with respect to commercial activities as well as for acquisition opportunities. As a result, competition from ArcLight and its affiliates could materially adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows. 30 Table of Contents General Risks We could be negatively impacted by the continuing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In light of the uncertain and continually evolving situation relating to the coronavirus (COVID-19) and its variants, including Omicron, this public health concern could pose a continuing risk to our employees, our customers, our vendors and the communities in which we operate, which could negatively impact our business. The extent to which the coronavirus (COVID-19) may impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. We may experience, among other impacts, (a) future customer shutdowns to prevent spread of the virus, which could, among other things, have an impact on any excess throughput or ancillary services we might otherwise provide for our customers, and (b) limitations on our ability to execute on our business plan, including as a result of employee impacts from illness or school closures and other community response measures, all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We continue to monitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and practices to address the situation, and may adjust our current policies and practices as more information and guidance become available. In addition, recent economic conditions in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic have included inflationary pressure, which could result in higher operating expenses and project costs for us, as well as higher interest rates. Any acquisitions we make are subject to substantial risks, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Any acquisition involves potential risks, including risks that we may: ● fail to realize anticipated benefits, such as cost-savings or cash flow enhancements; ● decrease our liquidity by using a significant portion of our available cash or borrowing capacity to finance acquisitions; ● significantly increase our interest expense or financial leverage if we incur additional debt to finance acquisitions; ● encounter difficulties operating in new geographic areas or new lines of business; ● be unable to secure adequate customer commitments to use the acquired systems or facilities; ● incur or assume unanticipated liabilities, losses or costs associated with the business or assets acquired for which we are not indemnified or for which the indemnity is inadequate; ● be unable to hire, train or retain qualified personnel to manage and operate our growing business and assets; ● be unable to successfully integrate the assets or businesses we acquire; ● less effectively manage our historical assets because of the diversion of management’s attention; or ● incur other significant charges, such as impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets, asset devaluation or restructuring charges. If any acquisitions we ultimately consummate result in one or more of these outcomes, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. ITEM 1B.

ITEM 6. Reserved. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. OVERVIEW We are a terminaling and transportation company with assets and operations in the United States along the Gulf Coast, in the Midwest, in Houston and Brownsville, Texas, along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, in the Southeast and along the West Coast. We provide integrated terminaling, storage, transportation and related services for customers engaged in the distribution and marketing of light refined petroleum products, heavy refined petroleum products, renewable products, crude oil, chemicals, fertilizers and other liquid products. In addition, our Tacoma, Washington terminal sells refined and renewable products to major fuel producers and marketers in the Pacific Northwest. Light refined products include gasolines, diesel fuels, heating oil and jet fuels. Heavy refined products include residual fuel oils and asphalt. Renewable products include ethanol, biodiesel, renewable diesel and relevant feedstocks. Our direct exposure to changes in commodity prices is limited to product sales out of our Tacoma, Washington terminal and the value of product gains and losses arising from terminaling services agreements with certain customers, which accounts for a small portion of our revenue. We use our owned and operated terminaling facilities to, among other things: receive refined products and renewable products from the pipeline, ship, barge or railcar making delivery on behalf of our customers and transfer those products to the tanks located at our terminals; store the products in our tanks for our customers; monitor the volume of the products stored in our tanks; distribute the products out of our terminals in vessels, railcars or truckloads using truck racks and other distribution equipment located at our terminals, including pipelines; and heat residual fuel oils and asphalt stored in our tanks. We also continue to provide ethanol logistics services and other services to the growing renewable products market, as well as to engage in blending activities related to the throughput process. Following the consummation of our Take-Private Transaction in February of 2019, we are wholly owned by TLP Finance Holdings, LLC, an indirect controlled subsidiary of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VI, L.P. 32 Table of Contents NATURE OF ASSETS Gulf Coast Operations. Our Gulf Coast terminals consist of eight active product terminals and comprise the largest terminal network in Florida. These terminals have approximately 6.9 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity in ports including Port Everglades, Miami and Cape Canaveral, which are among the busiest cruise ship ports in the nation. At our Gulf Coast terminals, we handle refined and renewable products on behalf of, and provide integrated terminaling services to, customers engaged in the distribution and marketing of products and crude oil. Our Gulf Coast terminals receive products from vessels on behalf of our customers. In addition, our Jacksonville terminal also receives asphalt by rail, and our Port Everglades (North) terminal also receives product by truck. We distribute by truck or barge at all of our Gulf Coast terminals. In addition, we distribute products by pipeline at our Port Everglades and Tampa terminals. A major oil company retains an ownership interest, ranging from 25% to 50%, in specific tank capacity at our Port Everglades (South) terminal. We manage and operate the Port Everglades (South) terminal, and we are reimbursed by the major oil company for its proportionate share of our operating and maintenance costs. Midwest Terminals. In Missouri and Arkansas, we own the Razorback pipeline and terminals in Mount Vernon, Missouri, at the origin of the pipeline and in Rogers, Arkansas, at the terminus of the pipeline. We refer to these two terminals collectively as the Razorback terminals. The Razorback pipeline is a 67-mile, 8-inch diameter interstate common carrier pipeline that transports light refined product from our terminal at Mount Vernon, where it is interconnected with a pipeline system owned by a third party, to our terminal at Rogers. The Razorback pipeline has a capacity of approximately 30,000 barrels per day. The Razorback terminals have approximately 0.4 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity. Effective January 1, 2021, a third party leases the capacity, and assumed operatorship, of the Razorback pipeline and the terminals in Mount Vernon, Missouri and in Rogers, Arkansas. Our Rogers facility is the only products terminal located in Northwest Arkansas. We lease land in Cushing, Oklahoma and constructed storage tanks and associated infrastructure on the property for the receipt of crude oil by truck and pipeline, the blending of crude oil and the storage of approximately 1.0 million barrels of crude oil. We also own and operate a terminal facility in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with approximately 0.2 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity. Our Oklahoma City terminal receives gasolines and diesel fuels from pipeline systems owned by a third parties for delivery via our truck rack for redistribution to locations throughout the Oklahoma City region. Brownsville, Texas Operations. We own and operate a product terminal with approximately 1.6 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity and related ancillary facilities in Brownsville independent of the Frontera joint venture, as well as the Diamondback pipeline which handles liquid product movements between south Texas and Mexico. At our Brownsville terminal we handle refined petroleum products, chemicals, vegetable oils, naphtha, and wax on behalf of, and provide integrated terminaling services to, customers engaged in the distribution and marketing of petroleum products. Our Brownsville facilities receive products on behalf of our customers from a pipeline system owned by a third party, vessels, by truck or railcar. The Diamondback pipeline consists of an 8” pipeline that previously transported propane approximately 16 miles from our Brownsville facilities to the U.S./Mexico border and a 6” pipeline, which runs parallel to the 8” pipeline that can be used by us in the future to transport additional refined products to Matamoros, Mexico. Operations on the Diamondback pipeline were shut down in the first quarter of 2018; however, we expect to recommission the Diamondback Pipeline and resume operations on both the 8” pipeline, providing gasoline service thereon, and the previously idle 6” pipeline, providing diesel service thereon, in the second half of 2022, and have previously filed revised tariffs with the FERC to support such activities. River Operations. Our River terminals are composed of 11 active product terminals located along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers with approximately 2.2 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity. Our River operations also include a dock facility in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which is the only direct waterborne connection between the Colonial pipeline and Mississippi River waterborne transportation. At our River terminals, we handle renewable fuels, renewable fuel feedstocks, gasolines, diesel fuels, heating oil, chemicals and fertilizers on behalf of, and 33 Table of Contents provide integrated terminaling services to, customers engaged in the distribution and marketing of products and industrial and commercial end-users. Our River terminals receive products from vessels, barges and trucks on behalf of our customers and distribute products primarily to trucks and barges. Southeast Operations. Our Southeast terminals consist of 20 active product terminals located along the Colonial and Plantation pipelines in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia with an aggregate active storage capacity of approximately 12.3 million barrels. At our Southeast terminals, we handle gasolines, diesel fuels, ethanol, biodiesel, jet fuel and heating oil on behalf of, and provide integrated terminaling services to, customers engaged in the distribution and marketing of refined products. Our Southeast terminals primarily receive products from the Colonial and Plantation pipelines on behalf of our customers and distribute products primarily to trucks with the exception of the Collins terminal. The Collins terminal is the only independent terminal capable of storing and redelivering product to, from and between the Colonial and Plantation pipelines. West Coast Operations. Our West Coast terminals consist of three active product terminals with approximately 6.9 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity. Our two California terminals are well positioned with pipeline connections to three of the five local refineries and marine access to all five refineries in the San Francisco Bay area and direct connection to the Northern California products pipeline distribution system. Our Tacoma, Washington terminal is connected via pipeline to the four largest refineries in Washington and by marine to all five Washington refineries. The Tacoma terminal is the only independent terminal in the Puget Sound area with a unit train facility. The Tacoma terminal sells refined and renewable products to major fuel producers and marketers in the Pacific Northwest. At our West Coast terminals, we handle crude oil, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, gasoline blend stocks, fuel oil, Avgas, ethanol and other renewable products and feedstocks on behalf of, and provide integrated terminaling services to, customers engaged in the distribution and marketing of products. Our West Coast terminals primarily receive products from vessels, pipeline and rail facilities on behalf of our customers and distribute products primarily via vessel, pipeline, truck and rail facilities. Investment in BOSTCO. On December 20, 2012, we acquired a 42.5% Class A ownership interest in Battleground Oil Specialty Terminal Company LLC (“BOSTCO”), from Kinder Morgan Battleground Oil, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kinder Morgan. BOSTCO is a terminal facility on the Houston Ship Channel designed to handle residual fuel, feedstocks, distillates and other black oils. BOSTCO currently has fully subscribed capacity of approximately 7.1 million barrels. Our investment in BOSTCO entitles us to appoint a member to the Board of Managers of BOSTCO, to vote our proportionate ownership share on general governance matters and to certain rights of approval over significant changes in, or expansion of, BOSTCO’s business. Kinder Morgan is responsible for managing BOSTCO’s day-to-day operations. Our 42.5% Class A ownership interest does not allow us to control BOSTCO, but does allow us to exercise significant influence over its operations. Accordingly, we account for our investment in BOSTCO under the equity method of accounting. Investment in Olympic Pipeline Company. As part of the Pacific Northwest Contribution on November 17, 2021, we acquired a 30% ownership interest in the Olympic Pipeline Company LLC joint venture (“Olympic Pipeline Company”), which owns the Olympic Pipeline between Blaine, Washington and Portland, Oregon and the Bayview, Washington terminal with approximately 0.5 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity. The Olympic Pipeline is a 400-mile FERC regulated pipeline that serves as the primary refined product distribution pipeline in the Pacific Northwest. ARCO Midcon LLC, an affiliate of BP, owns the remaining 70% interest and operates both the Olympic Pipeline and the Bayview terminal. BP is responsible for managing Olympic Pipeline Company’s day-to-day operations. Our investment in Olympic Pipeline Company entitles us to appoint one member, out of two, to the Management Committee of Olympic Pipeline Company, to vote our proportionate ownership share on general governance matters and to certain rights of approval over significant changes in, or expansion of, Olympic Pipeline Company’s business. Our 30% ownership interest does not allow us to control Olympic Pipeline Company but does allow us to exercise significant influence over its operations. Accordingly, we account for our investment in Olympic Pipeline Company under the equity method of accounting. Investment in SeaPort Midstream. As part of the Pacific Northwest Contribution on November 17, 2021, we acquired a 51% ownership interest in the SeaPort Midstream Partners, LLC joint venture (“SeaPort Midstream”), which owns two terminals in Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon with approximately 1.3 million barrels of aggregate 34 Table of Contents active storage capacity. Each terminal is connected to the Olympic Pipeline and has multimodal connectivity, including rail, barge, tanker and truck. BP Mariner Holding Company LLC owns the remaining 49% interest in SeaPort Midstream. We operate the SeaPort Midstream assets under an operating and administrative agreement between us and SeaPort Midstream. Our investment in SeaPort Midstream entitles us to appoint two, out of four, of the members to the Board of Managers, to vote our proportionate ownership share on general governance matters and to certain rights of approval over significant changes in, or expansion of, SeaPort Midstream’s business. Our ownership interest does not allow us to control SeaPort Midstream but does allow us to exercise significant influence over its operations. Accordingly, we account for our investment in SeaPort Midstream under the equity method of accounting. Investment in Frontera. On April 1, 2011, we contributed approximately 1.5 million barrels of light petroleum product storage capacity, as well as related ancillary facilities, to the Frontera Brownsville, LLC joint venture (“Frontera”), in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $25.6 million and a 50% ownership interest in the Frontera joint venture. An affiliate of PEMEX, Mexico’s state owned petroleum company, acquired the remaining 50% ownership interest in Frontera for a cash payment of approximately $25.6 million. We operate the Frontera assets under an operations and reimbursement agreement between us and Frontera. Frontera has approximately 1.7 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity. Our 50% ownership interest does not allow us to control Frontera but does allow us to exercise significant influence over its operations. Accordingly, we account for our investment in Frontera under the equity method of accounting. Central Services. Our Central services segment primarily represents the costs of employees performing operating oversight functions, engineering, health, safety and environmental services to our terminals and terminals that we operate. In addition, Central services represent the cost of employees at standalone affiliate terminals that we operate or manage. We receive a fee from these affiliates based on our costs incurred. NATURE OF REVENUE AND EXPENSES We generate revenue from our terminal and pipeline transportation operations by charging fees for providing integrated terminaling, transportation and related services. In addition, our Tacoma, Washington terminal sells refined and renewable products to major fuel producers and marketers in the Pacific Northwest. We have several significant customer relationships, our top 10 customers made up approximately 60% of the total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021. The fees we charge, our other sources of revenue and our direct costs and expenses are described below. Terminaling services fees. Our terminaling services agreements are structured as either throughput agreements or storage agreements. Our throughput agreements contain provisions that require our customers to make minimum payments, which are based on contractually established minimum volume of throughput of the customer’s product at our facilities over a stipulated period of time. Due to this minimum payment arrangement, we recognize a fixed amount of revenue from the customer over a certain period of time, even if the customer throughputs less than the minimum volume of product during that period. In addition, if a customer throughputs a volume of product exceeding the minimum volume, we would recognize additional revenue on this incremental volume. Our storage agreements require our customers to make minimum payments based on the volume of storage capacity available to the customer under the agreement, which results in a fixed amount of recognized revenue. We refer to the fixed amount of revenue recognized pursuant to our terminaling services agreements as being “firm commitments.” Revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments and revenue recognized based solely on the volume of product distributed or injected are referred to as “ancillary.” In addition, ancillary revenue also includes fees received from ancillary services including heating and mixing of stored products, product transfer, railcar handling, butane blending, proceeds from the sale of product gains, wharfage and vapor recovery. Pipeline transportation fees. We earned pipeline transportation fees at our Diamondback pipeline under a capacity reservation agreement that ended on May 26, 2021. Revenue associated with the capacity reservation agreement was recognized ratably over the respective term, regardless of whether the capacity was actually utilized. We earned pipeline transportation fees at our Razorback pipeline based on an allocation of the aggregate fees charged under the capacity agreement with our customer who was contracted for 100% of our Razorback system through December 31, 2020. Effective January 1, 2021, our customer has leased 100% of our Razorback system and assumed operatorship of 35 Table of Contents the Razorback pipeline and the terminals in Mount Vernon, Missouri and in Rogers, Arkansas. Beginning in 2021, the fees associated with this lease agreement are recognized as terminaling services fees. Management fees. We manage and operate certain tank capacity at our Port Everglades South terminal for a major oil company and receive a reimbursement of its proportionate share of operating and maintenance costs. We manage and operate the Frontera joint venture and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. We lease land under operating leases as the lessor or sublessor with third parties and affiliates. We manage and operate rail sites at certain Southeast terminals on behalf of a major oil company and receive reimbursement for operating and maintenance costs. We manage and operate SeaPort Midstream and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. We also manage additional terminal facilities that are owned by affiliates of ArcLight, including Lucknow-Highspire Terminals, LLC, which operates terminals throughout Pennsylvania encompassing approximately 9.9 million barrels of storage capacity, and prior to July 1, 2019, a terminal in Baltimore, Maryland for Pike Baltimore Terminals, LLC (the “Baltimore Terminal”), and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. Our management of the Baltimore Terminal ended on July 1, 2019. Product sales. Our product sales revenue refers to the sale of refined and renewable products at our Tacoma, Washington terminal. Product sales revenue pricing is contractually specified and is recognized at a point in time when our customers take control and legal title of the commodities purchased. Product sales revenue is recorded gross of cost of product sales, which includes product supply and transportation costs. Operating costs and expenses. The operating costs and expenses of our operations include wages and employee benefits, utilities, communications, repairs and maintenance, rent, property taxes, vehicle expenses, environmental compliance costs, materials and supplies needed to operate our terminals and pipelines. General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses cover the costs of corporate functions such as legal, accounting, treasury, insurance administration and claims processing, information technology, human resources, credit, payroll, taxes and other corporate services. General and administrative expenses also include third party accounting costs associated with annual and quarterly reports and tax return preparation and distribution, and legal fees. Insurance expenses. Insurance expenses include charges for insurance premiums to cover costs of insuring activities such as property, casualty, pollution, automobile, directors’ and officers’ liability, and other insurable risks. SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS SINCE THE FILING OF OUR PRIOR YEAR FORM 10-K Contribution of Pacific Northwest assets. On November 17, 2021, Arclight contributed Pike West Coast Holdings, LLC (“Pike West Coast”) a portfolio company of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VI, L.P. to the Company. Pike West Coast is an infrastructure company with significant operations across the renewable fuels supply chain in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (the “Pacific Northwest Contribution”). Pike West Coast owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Financing, LLC. SeaPort Financing, LLC owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Sound Terminal, LLC, which owns a refined and renewable products terminal in Tacoma, Washington, a 51% ownership interest in SeaPort Midstream, which owns refined and renewable products terminals in both Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon, and a 30% ownership interest in Olympic Pipeline Company, which owns the Olympic Pipeline between Blaine, Washington and Portland, Oregon and a refined and renewable products terminal in Bayview, Washington. The Pacific Northwest Contribution has been recorded at carryover basis as a reorganization of entities under common control. As such, prior periods include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Pacific Northwest Contribution for all periods presented. COVID-19. The ongoing pandemic involving COVID-19, a highly transmissible and pathogenic coronavirus, has resulted in restrictions on, and a public response with respect to, travel and economic activity that have reduced demand for crude oil, refined petroleum products, renewable products, and other products that we handle. 36 Table of Contents Since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, we have taken proactive and sustained measures to deliver our services safely and reliably with limited negative impacts to our business. At the outset of the pandemic, we activated an Incident Support Team to execute our Infectious Disease Control Policy, and to focus on a number of priorities, including: (i) implement basic infection prevention techniques and other workplace protections in our business operations; (ii) identify and isolate individuals suspected of being infected by COVID-19; (iii) identify risk factors in our workforce that may increase the possibility of exposure to COVID-19; and (iv) develop a contingency plan for the possibility that a serious outbreak does occur in the area of any of our terminals. We continue to follow recommendations from public health authorities and maintain actions to help prevent our employees’ exposure to the spread of COVID-19, including, where practical, work-at-home plans enacted in March 2020 and the implementation of business continuity plans to enable the integrity of our operations and protect the health of our employees. To date, our operations and employees have not been materially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, thereby allowing our customers continued access and utilization of our strategic terminal network. We continue to employ all safety processes and procedures in the normal course. We provide an essential service across our markets, which has been recognized in most relevant regulatory guidance regarding COVID-19. Further, we have not experienced any material instance of our customers failing to meet their contractual commitments to us as a result of these recent developments. While many States and municipalities have recently reduced or eliminated COVID-19 related restrictions and policies, there continue to be many variables and uncertainties regarding COVID-19 — including the continued spread of the virus, or new variants thereof, the duration and severity of the outbreak and the potential for future travel restrictions and business closures, and medical advancements in treating and vaccinating against the disease and the availability and the resulting economic impact of any such advancements or vaccinations — to reasonably predict the potential longer-term impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations. We continue to monitor the situation, have actively implemented policies and practices to address the situation and actively protect our employees, and may adjust our current policies and practices as more information and guidance become available. In addition, recent economic conditions in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic have included inflationary pressure, which could result in higher operating expenses and project costs for us, as well as higher interest rates. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES A summary of the significant accounting policies that we have adopted and followed in the preparation of our historical consolidated financial statements is detailed in Note 1 of Notes to consolidated financial statements. Certain of these accounting policies require the use of estimates. In management’s opinion, the estimate of useful lives of our plant and equipment are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment and involve complex analyses. These estimates are based on our knowledge and understanding of current conditions and actions we may take in the future. Changes in these estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations (see Note 1 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). Useful lives of plant and equipment. We calculate depreciation using the straight-line method, based on estimated useful lives of our assets. These estimates are based on various factors including age (in the case of acquired assets), manufacturing specifications, technological advances and historical data concerning useful lives of similar assets. Uncertainties that impact these estimates include changes in laws and regulations relating to restoration, economic conditions and supply and demand in the area. When assets are put into service, we make estimates with respect to useful lives that we believe to be reasonable. However, subsequent events could cause us to change our estimates, thus impacting the future calculation of depreciation. Estimated useful lives are 15 to 25 years for terminals and pipelines and 3 to 25 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021, 2020 AND 2019 The Pacific Northwest Contribution has been recorded at carryover basis as a reorganization of entities under common control. As such, prior periods set forth herein and under Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report, include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Pacific Northwest Contribution for all periods presented. 37 Table of Contents We operate our business and report our results of operations in seven principal business segments: (i) Gulf Coast terminals, (ii) Midwest terminals, (iii) Brownsville terminals including management of Frontera, (iv) River terminals, (v) Southeast terminals, (vi) West Coast terminals and (vii) Central services. Our Central services segment primarily represents the costs of employees performing operating oversight functions, engineering, health, safety and environmental services to our terminals and terminals that we operate. In addition, Central services represent the cost of employees at standalone affiliate terminals that we operate or manage. We receive a fee from these affiliates based on our costs incurred. ANALYSIS OF REVENUE Terminal revenue. The majority of our revenue is derived from our terminal and pipeline transportation operations by charging fees for providing integrated terminaling, transportation and related services. The terminal revenue by category was as follows (in thousands): Terminaling services fees Management fees Pipeline transportation fees Terminal revenue Year ended Year ended Terminal Revenue by Category Year ended December 31, December 31, December 31, 2020 $ 279,672 10,942 3,519 $ 294,133 2019 $ 264,878 11,445 3,457 $ 279,780 2021 $ 276,481 12,322 638 $ 289,441 Product sales, gross margin. Our product sales revenue refers to the sale of refined and renewable products at our Tacoma, Washington terminal in our West Coast Segment. Product sales revenue pricing is contractually specified and is recognized at a point in time when our customers take control and legal title of the commodities purchased. Product sales revenue is recorded gross of cost of product sales, which includes product supply and transportation costs. The product sales, gross margin was as follows (in thousands): Product Sales, Gross Margin Year ended Year ended Year ended Product sales Cost of product sales Product sales, gross margin December 31, December 31, December 31, 2020 $ 183,555 (171,727) $ 11,828 2021 $ 231,239 (218,395) $ 12,844 2019 $ 249,711 (238,596) $ 11,115 The change in product sales and cost of product sales for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, is primarily a result of the COVID-19 impact on product prices in 2020. Included in product sales, gross margin for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 are fees charged to affiliates of approximately $nil. 38 Table of Contents The terminal revenue by business segment is presented and further analyzed below by category of revenue. Gulf Coast terminals Midwest terminals Brownsville terminals River terminals Southeast terminals West Coast terminals Central services Terminal revenue Year ended Year ended Terminal Revenue by Business Segment Year ended December 31, December 31, December 31, 2020 $ 76,907 10,267 21,969 11,700 89,520 79,133 4,637 $ 294,133 2019 $ 73,416 11,655 18,953 10,233 88,777 72,124 4,622 $ 279,780 2021 $ 77,115 10,504 23,490 13,998 78,123 80,332 5,879 $ 289,441 Terminaling services fees. Our terminaling services agreements are structured as either throughput agreements or storage agreements. Our throughput agreements contain provisions that require our customers to make minimum payments, which are based on contractually established minimum volume of throughput of the customer’s product at our facilities over a stipulated period of time. Due to this minimum payment arrangement, we recognize a fixed amount of revenue from the customer over a certain period of time, even if the customer throughputs less than the minimum volume of product during that period. In addition, if a customer throughputs a volume of product exceeding the minimum volume, we would recognize additional revenue on this incremental volume. Our storage agreements require our customers to make minimum payments based on the volume of storage capacity available to the customer under the agreement, which results in a fixed amount of recognized revenue. We refer to the fixed amount of revenue recognized pursuant to our terminaling services agreements as being “firm commitments.” Revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments and revenue recognized based solely on the volume of product distributed or injected are referred to as “ancillary.” In addition, “ancillary” revenue also includes fees received from ancillary services including heating and mixing of stored products, product transfer, railcar handling, butane blending, proceeds from the sale of product gains, wharfage and vapor recovery. The terminaling services fees by business segments were as follows (in thousands): Gulf Coast terminals Midwest terminals Brownsville terminals River terminals Southeast terminals West Coast terminals Central services Terminaling services fees Year ended Year ended Terminaling Services Fees by Business Segment Year ended December 31, December 31, December 31, 2020 $ 76,875 8,358 15,071 11,700 88,573 79,095 — $ 279,672 2019 $ 73,380 9,804 11,560 10,233 87,813 72,088 — $ 264,878 2021 $ 77,061 10,504 17,595 13,998 77,031 80,292 — $ 276,481 The increase in terminaling services fees at our Gulf Coast terminals for the year ended December 31, 2020 is primarily a result of recontracting capacity at higher rates. The increase in terminaling services fees at our Midwest terminals for the year ended December 31, 2021 is due to our customer leasing 100% of our Razorback system and assuming operatorship of the Razorback pipeline and the terminals in Mount Vernon, Missouri and in Rogers, Arkansas effective January 1, 2021. The fees associated with this lease agreement are recognized as terminaling services fees. Prior to January 1, 2021, we earned pipeline transportation 39 Table of Contents fees at our Razorback pipeline based on an allocation of the aggregate fees charged under a capacity agreement with our customer who was contracted for 100% of our Razorback system through December 31, 2020. The decrease in terminaling services fees at our Midwest terminals for the year ended December 31, 2020 is primarily a result of our capacity in Cushing, Oklahoma being off-contract in the first quarter of 2020. The increase in terminaling services fees at our Brownsville terminals for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is primarily a result of placing into service approximately 0.2 million barrels of new tank capacity and construction of gasoline railcar loading capabilities during the first quarter of 2021 and placing into service approximately 0.6 million barrels of new tank capacity in various stages throughout 2019. The increase in terminaling services fees at our River terminals for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is primarily a result of contracting available capacity. The decrease in terminaling services fees at our Southeast terminals for the year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily due to a customer terminating its terminaling services agreement effective December 31, 2020 at our Collins, Mississippi terminal. During the second and third quarters of 2021 we re-contracted a portion of the available capacity. We are currently in the process of identifying potential parties to re-contract the remaining available capacity. The increase in terminaling services fees at our West Coast terminals for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is primarily a result of contracting available capacity, re-contracting capacity at higher rates and placing into service approximately 0.1 million barrels of new tank capacity in the first quarter of 2019. Included in terminaling services fees for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 are fees charged to affiliates of approximately $12.5 million, $11.3 million and $11.2 million, respectively. The “firm commitments” and “ancillary” revenue included in terminaling services fees were as follows (in thousands): Firm commitments Ancillary Terminaling services fees Firm Commitments and Ancillary Terminaling Services Fees Year ended December 31, 2021 222,760 53,721 276,481 $ $ Year ended December 31, 2020 229,362 50,310 279,672 $ $ Year ended December 31, 2019 204,658 60,220 264,878 $ $ The remaining terms on the terminaling services agreements that generated “firm commitments” for the year ended December 31, 2021 were as follows (in thousands): Less than 1 year remaining 1 year or more, but less than 3 years remaining 3 years or more, but less than 5 years remaining 5 years or more remaining (1) Total firm commitments for the year ended December 31, 2021 $ 46,903 120,453 9,774 45,630 $ 222,760 21% 54% 4% 21% (1) We have a terminaling services agreement with a third party relating to our Southeast terminals that will continue unless and until the third party provides at least 24 months’ prior notice of its intent to terminate the agreement. Effective at any time from and after July 31, 2040, we have the right to terminate the agreement by providing at least 24 months’ prior notice of our intent to terminate the agreement. We do not believe the third party will terminate the agreement prior to July 31, 2040; therefore we have presented the firm commitments related to this terminaling services agreement in the 5 years or more remaining category in the table above. Management fees. We manage and operate certain tank capacity at our Port Everglades South terminal for a major oil company and receive a reimbursement of its proportionate share of operating and maintenance costs.

Pipeline transportation fees. We earned pipeline transportation fees at our Diamondback pipeline under a capacity reservation agreement that ended on May 26, 2021. Revenue associated with the capacity reservation agreement was recognized ratably over the respective term, regardless of whether the capacity was actually utilized. We earned pipeline transportation fees at our Razorback pipeline based on an allocation of the aggregate fees charged under the capacity agreement with our customer who was contracted for 100% of our Razorback system through December 31, 2020. Effective January 1, 2021, our customer has leased 100% of our Razorback system and assumed operatorship of the Razorback pipeline and the terminals in Mount Vernon, Missouri and in Rogers, Arkansas. Beginning in 2021, the fees associated with this lease agreement are recognized as terminaling services fees.

ANALYSIS OF COSTS AND EXPENSES The operating costs and expenses of our operations include wages and employee benefits, utilities, communications, repairs and maintenance, rent, property taxes, vehicle expenses, environmental compliance costs, materials and supplies needed to operate our terminals and pipelines. Consistent with historical trends across our terminaling and transportation facilities, repairs and maintenance expenses can vary from period to period based on project maintenance schedules and other factors such as weather. The operating costs and expenses of our operations were as follows (in thousands): Operating Costs and Expenses Wages and employee benefits Utilities and communication charges Repairs and maintenance Office, rentals and property taxes Vehicles and fuel costs Environmental compliance costs Contract services Other Operating costs and expenses Year ended Year ended Year ended December 31, December 31, December 31, 2020 $ 48,786 11,035 15,935 16,061 1,089 3,939 2,435 8,737 $ 108,017 2019 $ 48,108 12,035 15,454 15,832 1,127 3,540 2,371 9,664 $ 108,131 2021 $ 51,062 11,185 13,347 18,503 1,087 5,283 2,538 8,096 $ 111,101 The operating costs and expenses of our business segments were as follows (in thousands): Operating Costs and Expenses by Business Segment Year ended Year ended Year ended Gulf Coast terminals Midwest terminals Brownsville terminals River terminals Southeast terminals West Coast terminals Central services Operating costs and expenses $ December 31, December 31, December 31, 2020 $ 20,946 2,942 9,749 5,777 23,498 31,281 13,824 $ 108,017 2019 22,196 3,443 9,053 6,040 23,500 27,999 15,900 $ 108,131 2021 $ 22,541 2,222 9,310 6,328 24,319 31,732 14,649 $ 111,101 General and administrative expenses cover the costs of corporate functions such as legal, accounting, treasury, insurance administration and claims processing, information technology, human resources, credit, payroll, taxes and other corporate services. General and administrative expenses also include third party accounting costs associated with annual and quarterly reports and tax return preparation and distribution, and legal fees. The general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $24.8 million, $23.1 million and $25.5 million, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily attributable to higher incentive compensation costs. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 is primarily attributable to one-time costs associated with the Take-Private Transaction in the prior years. Insurance expenses include charges for insurance premiums to cover costs of insuring activities such as property, casualty, pollution, automobile, directors’ and officers’ liability, and other insurable risks. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, insurance expense was approximately $6.3 million, $5.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively. 42 Table of Contents Deferred compensation expense includes expense associated with awards granted to certain employees who provide service to us that vest over future service periods. The expense associated with deferred compensation awards was approximately $15.8 million, $2.2 million and $2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in deferred compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily attributable to our indirect parent company, Pike Petroleum Holdings, LLC, repurchasing and cancelling class B units that were granted by Pike West Coast Holdings, LLC prior to the Pacific Northwest Contribution for approximately $12.5 million. The cash payment for the repurchase and cancellation of the class B units was made by Pike Petroleum Holdings, LLC, accordingly we have accounted for this as a non-cash transaction in our consolidated statements of equity and consolidated statements of cash flows. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $68.5 million, $66.0 million and $60.5 million, respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is primarily attributable to placing terminal expansion projects in service. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $42.7 million, $46.1 million and $53.0 million, respectively. The decrease in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is primarily attributable to decreases in LIBOR based interest rates. ANALYSIS OF INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES At December 31, 2021 and 2020, our investments in unconsolidated affiliates include a 42.5% Class A ownership interest BOSTCO, a 30% ownership interest in Olympic Pipeline Company, a 51% ownership interest in SeaPort Midstream and a 50% ownership interest in Frontera. BOSTCO is a terminal facility located on the Houston Ship Channel that encompasses approximately 7.1 million barrels of distillate, residual and other black oil product storage. Class A and Class B ownership interests in BOSTCO share in cash distributions on a 96.5% and 3.5% basis, respectively. Class B ownership interests do not have voting rights and are not required to make capital investments. Olympic Pipeline Company is a 400-mile interstate refined petroleum products pipeline system running from Blaine, Washington to Portland, Oregon and a refined and renewable products terminal in Bayview, Washington. SeaPort Midstream is two terminal facilities located in Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon that encompasses approximately 1.3 million barrels of refined and renewable product storage. Frontera is a terminal facility located in Brownsville, Texas that encompasses approximately 1.7 million barrels of light petroleum product storage, as well as related ancillary facilities.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities were as follows (in thousands): Net cash provided by operating activities Net cash used in investing activities Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities 44 Year ended Year ended Year ended December 31, December 31, December 31, 2019 2020 2021 $ 125,480 $ 118,682 $ 134,401 $ (334,939) $ (81,906) $ (97,219) $ (59,126) $ (12,518) $ 212,253 Table of Contents The approximately $8.9 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily related to timing of distributions from our unconsolidated affiliates and working capital requirements. The approximately $15.7 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 is primarily related to increased revenue from recontracting activity, placing into service new tank capacity at our Brownsville and West Coast terminals and the timing of working capital requirements. The approximately $253.0 million increase in net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021, includes a distribution to Arclight of approximately $256.3 million for the Pacific Northwest Contribution and the termination of a $10.2 million short-term loan from the Company to an ArcLight affiliate in contemplation of the contribution. This was partially offset by an approximately $11.5 million decrease in construction spend in 2021. The approximately $15.3 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 is primarily related to a decrease in construction spend in 2020. Additional investments and expansion capital projects at our terminals have been approved and currently are, or will be, under construction with estimated completion dates throughout 2022. At December 31, 2021, the remaining expenditures to complete the approved projects are estimated to be approximately $35 million. These expenditures primarily relate to the construction costs associated with the expansion of our Brownsville and West Coast operations. As discussed below, the Company entered into an agreement for a $1 billion senior secured term loan on November 17, 2021. A portion of the proceeds from the $1 billion senior secured term loan were used for the repayment of debt of approximately $549.9 million, distributions to TLP Finance for debt service of approximately $174.2 million, and approximately $21.5 million of debt issuance costs. This resulted in an approximately $271.4 million change in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021. The $46.6 million change in net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes a decrease of approximately $45.0 million in net borrowings under our revolving credit facility primarily due to increased cash flows from operations and less spend on growth capital projects in 2020. Credit agreement. On November 17, 2021, the Company and TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into the Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) for a $1 billion senior secured term loan and a $150 million revolving credit facility, with a letter of credit subfacility of $35 million. The senior secured term loan will mature on November 17, 2028 and the revolving credit facility will terminate (a) on November 14, 2025 in the event our 6.125% senior notes due in 2026 are not refinanced on or prior to such date or (b) in the event the senior notes have been refinanced on or prior to November 14, 2025, the earlier of (i) the new maturity date of the refinanced senior notes and (ii) November 17, 2026. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company, TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P. and all of its subsidiaries, and secured by a first priority security interest in favor of the lenders in substantially all of the Company’s, TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P.’s and all of its subsidiaries’ assets, including our investments in unconsolidated affiliates. Proceeds from the $1 billion senior secured term loan were used as follows (in thousands): Repayment of revolving credit facility Payment for contribution of Pacific Northwest Repayment of SeaPort Financing term loan Distribution to TLP Finance for debt service Deferred debt issuance costs Proceeds from senior secured term loan $ 351,700 256,300 198,200 174,200 19,600 $ 1,000,000 We may elect to have loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at either an adjusted LIBOR rate (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus an applicable margin of 3.50% or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum. We are also required to pay (i) a letter of credit fee of 3.50% per annum on the aggregate face amount of all outstanding letters of credit, (ii) to the issuing lender of each letter of credit, a fronting fee of no less than 0.125% per annum on the outstanding amount of each such letter of credit and (iii) commitment fees of 0.50% per annum on the daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility, in each case quarterly in arrears. 45 Table of Contents The Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness, permitted investments, liens on assets, making distributions, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations, dispositions of assets and other provisions customary in similar types of agreements. The Credit Agreement requires compliance with (a) a debt service coverage ratio of no less than 1.1 to 1.0 and (b) if the aggregate outstanding amount of all revolving loans and drawn letters of credit exceeds an amount equal to 35% of the aggregate revolving commitments, a senior secured net leverage ratio of no greater than 6.75 to 1.00. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of and during the year ended December 31, 2021. If we were to fail a financial performance covenant, or any other covenant contained in the Credit Agreement, we would seek a waiver from our lenders under such facility. If we were unable to obtain a waiver from our lenders and the default remained uncured after any applicable grace period, we would be in breach of the Credit Agreement, and the lenders would be entitled to declare all outstanding borrowings immediately due and payable. The Credit Agreement replaces, in its entirety, the Third Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility, dated March 13, 2017, which provided for a maximum borrowing line of credit equal to $850 million and was set to mature in March 2022. Senior notes. On February 12, 2018, the Company and TLP Finance Corp., our wholly owned subsidiary, issued at par $300 million of 6.125% senior notes, due in 2026. The senior notes remain outstanding and the Company is voluntarily filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the covenants contained in the senior notes. The senior notes contain customary covenants (including those relating to our voluntary filing of this report and certain restrictions and obligations with respect to types of payments we may make, indebtedness we may incur, transactions we may pursue, or changes in our control) and customary events of default (including those relating to monetary defaults, covenant defaults, cross defaults and bankruptcy events). We may, at any time and from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases, open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. Contractual obligations and contingencies. See Note 11 for information regarding our debt obligations and Note 13 for information regarding our leases and other commitments. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. A principal market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk associated with borrowings under our senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility. Borrowings under our senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest at either an adjusted LIBOR rate (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus an applicable margin of 3.50% or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum. We have historically, on occasion, managed a portion of our interest rate risk with interest rate swaps, which reduced our exposure to changes in interest rates by converting variable interest rates to fixed interest rates. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, our derivative instruments were limited to interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $nil and $100 million, respectively. The interest rate swap agreements ended in November 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, we paid a blended fixed rate and received interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR. The net difference to be paid or received under the interest rate swap agreements was settled monthly and was recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was determined using a pricing model based on the LIBOR swap rate and other observable market data. At December 31, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings of $1 billion under our senior secured term loan and $nil under our revolving credit facility. Based on the outstanding balance of our variable-interest-rate debt at December 31, 2021, assuming market interest rates increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the potential annual increase or decrease in interest expense is approximately $10 million. Our Tacoma, Washington terminal sells refined and renewable products to major fuel producers and marketers in the Pacific Northwest. Our direct exposure to changes in commodity prices is limited to product sales out of our Tacoma, Washington terminal and the value of product gains and losses arising from terminaling services agreements 46 Table of Contents with certain customers, which accounts for a small portion of our revenue. We do not use derivative commodity instruments to manage the commodity risk associated with the product we may own at any given time. Generally, to the extent we are entitled to retain product pursuant to terminaling services agreements with our customers, we sell the product to our customers on a contractually established periodic basis; the sales price is based on industry indices. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA The following consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this Annual Report. TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries: Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (PCAOB ID No. 34) Consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 Consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Consolidated statements of equity for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Notes to consolidated financial statements 48 49 50 51 52 53 47 Table of Contents REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Management of TransMontaigne Partners LLC Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TransMontaigne Partners LLC and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, partners' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, effective November 17, 2021, Arclight contributed Pike West Coast Holdings, LLC (“Pike West Coast”) a portfolio company of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VI, L.P. to the Company (the “Pacific Northwest Contribution”) and was recorded at carryover basis as a reorganization of entities under common control. As such, all prior periods presented include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Pacific Northwest Contribution for all periods presented. Critical Audit Matters Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Denver, Colorado March 31, 2022 We have served as the Company's auditor since 2012 48 Table of Contents TransMontaigne Partners LLC and subsidiaries Consolidated balance sheets (in thousands) ASSETS December 31, December 31, 2021 2020 Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents Trade accounts receivable Due from affiliates Inventory Other current assets Total current assets Property, plant and equipment, net Goodwill Investments in unconsolidated affiliates Right-of-use assets, operating leases Other assets, net LIABILITIES AND EQUITY Current liabilities: Trade accounts payable Operating lease liabilities Accrued liabilities Current debt Total current liabilities Deferred revenue Long-term operating lease liabilities Long-term debt Total liabilities Commitments and contingencies (Note 13) Equity: Predecessor Member interest Total equity $ 18,273 20,028 2,397 5,333 6,492 52,523 851,483 18,586 332,692 48,522 53,146 $ 1,356,952 $ 14,568 3,665 37,751 10,000 65,984 3,334 46,643 1,263,940 1,379,901 $ 15,479 12,471 1,626 4,829 6,560 40,965 854,870 18,586 331,984 33,880 59,503 $ 1,339,788 $ 15,802 3,284 38,203 2,095 59,384 4,820 32,418 834,609 931,231 (22,949) (22,949) $ 1,356,952 — 73,264 335,293 408,557 $ 1,339,788 See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.

We conduct our operations in the United States along the Gulf Coast, in the Midwest, in Houston and Brownsville, Texas, along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, in the Southeast and along the West Coast. We were originally formed as TransMontaigne Partners L.P. (“the Partnership”) in February 2005 as a Delaware limited partnership. Through February 26, 2019, the Partnership’s common units were listed and publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TLP”. The Partnership was controlled by a general partner, TransMontaigne GP L.L.C. (“TransMontaigne GP”), which was an indirect, controlled subsidiary of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VI, L.P. (“ArcLight”). TransMontaigne GP also held the Partnership’s incentive distribution rights, which were non-voting limited partner interests with the rights set forth in the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, dated as of May 27, 2005, as amended from time to time. On February 26, 2019, an affiliate of ArcLight acquired all of the Partnership’s outstanding publicly traded common units not already held by ArcLight and its affiliates by way of our merger (the “Merger”) with a wholly owned subsidiary of TLP Finance Holdings, LLC (“TLP Finance”), an indirect controlled subsidiary of Arclight. At the effective time of the Merger, each of the Partnership’s general partner units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the acquisition effective time was converted into (i)(a) one Partnership common unit, and (b) in aggregate, a non-economic general partner interest in the Partnership, (ii) each of the Partnership’s incentive distribution rights issued and outstanding immediately prior to the acquisition effective time was converted into 100 Partnership common units, (iii) our general partner distributed its common units in the Partnership (the “Transferred GP Units”) to TLP Acquisition Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TLP Holdings”), and TLP Holdings contributed the Transferred GP Units to TLP Finance, (iv) the Partnership converted into the Company (a Delaware limited liability company) pursuant to Section 17- 219 of the Delaware Limited Partnership Act and changed its name to “TransMontaigne Partners LLC”, and all of our common units owned by TLP Finance were converted into limited liability company interests (“member interest”), (v) the non-economic interest in the Company owned by our general partner was automatically cancelled and ceased to exist and our general partner merged with and into the Company with the Company surviving, and (vi) the Company became 100% owned by TLP Finance (the transactions described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), collectively with the Merger, the “Take-Private Transaction”). As a result of the Take-Private Transaction, our common units ceased to be publicly traded, and our common units are no longer listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Our 6.125% senior unsecured notes due in 2026 remain outstanding, and we are voluntarily filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the covenants contained in those notes. Effective June 1, 2019, TLP Finance contributed all of the issued and outstanding equity of its wholly owned subsidiary, TLP Management Services LLC (“TMS” and such interest, the “TMS Interest”) to the Company, and the Company immediately contributed the TMS Interest to its 100% owned operating company subsidiary TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P. (the “TMS Contribution”). Prior to the TMS Contribution, we had no employees and all of our management and operational activities were provided by TMS. Further, TMS provided all payroll programs and maintained all employee benefits programs on behalf of our company with respect to applicable TMS employees (as well as on behalf of certain other Arclight affiliates). As a result of the TMS Contribution, we have assumed the employees and operational activities previously provided by TMS, except for our executive officers as further described below. The TMS Contribution has been recorded at carryover basis as a reorganization of entities under common control. 53 Table of Contents TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) Years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 As a result of the TMS Contribution, the omnibus agreement in place in various forms since the inception of the Partnership, and immediately prior to the TMS Contribution between TMS and us, which, among other things, governed the provision of management and operational services provided for us by TMS, is no longer relevant and was terminated. Following the TMS Contribution, the executive officers who provide services to the Company are employed by TransMontaigne Management Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ArcLight, which also provides services to certain other ArcLight affiliates. As a result, we do not directly employ any of the persons responsible for the executive management of our business. Nonetheless, TMS continues to provide certain payroll functions and maintains all employee benefits programs on behalf of TransMontaigne Management Company pursuant to a services agreement between TransMontaigne Management Company and TMS. On November 17, 2021, Arclight contributed Pike West Coast Holdings, LLC (“Pike West Coast”) a portfolio company of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VI, L.P. to the Company. Pike West Coast is an infrastructure company with significant operations across the renewable fuels supply chain in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (the “Pacific Northwest Contribution”). Pike West Coast owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Financing, LLC. SeaPort Financing, LLC owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Sound Terminal, LLC, which owns a refined and renewable products terminal in Tacoma, Washington, a 51% ownership interest in SeaPort Midstream Partners, LLC (“Seaport Midstream”), which owns refined and renewable products terminals in both Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon, and a 30% ownership interest in Olympic Pipeline Company, LLC (“Olympic Pipeline Company”), which owns the Olympic Pipeline between Blaine, Washington and Portland, Oregon and a refined and renewable products terminal in Bayview, Washington. The Pacific Northwest Contribution has been recorded at carryover basis as a reorganization of entities under common control. As such, prior periods include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Pacific Northwest Contribution for all periods presented (see Note 3 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). (b) Basis of presentation and use of estimates Our accounting and financial reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TransMontaigne Partners LLC and its controlled subsidiaries. Investments where we do not have the ability to exercise control, but do have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. In management’s opinion, the estimate of useful lives of our plant and equipment are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment and involve complex analyses. Changes in these estimates and assumptions will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Actual results could differ from these estimates. (c) Accounting for terminal and pipeline operations Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases and the series of related Accounting Standards Updates that followed (collectively referred to as “ASC 842”). The most significant changes under the new guidance include clarification of the definition of a lease, and the requirements for lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all qualifying leases in the consolidated balance sheets. 54 Table of Contents TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) Years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Further, under ASC 842, additional disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases (see Note 13 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). We generate revenue from terminaling services fees, pipeline transportation fees, management fees and product sales. Under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and ASC 842, we recognize revenue over time or at a point in time, depending on the nature of the performance obligations contained in the respective contract with our customer. The contract transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The following is an overview of our significant revenue streams, including a description of the respective performance obligations and related method of revenue recognition. Terminaling services fees. Our terminaling services agreements are structured as either throughput agreements or storage agreements. Our throughput agreements contain provisions that require our customers to make minimum payments, which are based on contractually established minimum volumes of throughput of the customer’s product at our facilities, over a stipulated period of time. Due to this minimum payment arrangement, we recognize a fixed amount of revenue from the customer over a certain period of time, even if the customer throughputs less than the minimum volume of product during that period. In addition, if a customer throughputs a volume of product exceeding the minimum volume, we would recognize additional revenue on this incremental volume. Our storage agreements require our customers to make minimum payments based on the volume of storage capacity available to the customer under the agreement, which results in a fixed amount of recognized revenue. We refer to the fixed amount of revenue recognized pursuant to our terminaling services agreements as being “firm commitments.” Our terminaling services agreements include revenue recognized in accordance with ASC 606 and ASC 842. At the time of contract inception, we evaluate each contract to determine whether the contract contains a lease. Significant assumptions used in this process include the determination of whether substantive substitution rights exist based on the terms of the contract and available capacity at the terminal at the time of contract inception or modification. Our terminaling services agreements do not allow our customers to purchase the underlying asset and vary in terms and conditions with respect to extension or termination options. If a contract is accounted for as a lease under ASC 842, we recognize the minimum payments as lease revenue and revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments as a variable payment of the lease. All other components of the contracts accounted for as a lease are treated as non-lease components (ancillary revenue) and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. The majority of our firm commitments under our terminaling services agreements are accounted for as lease revenue in accordance with ASC 842 (“ASC 842 revenue”). The remaining firm commitments under our terminaling services agreements not accounted for as lease revenue are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606 (“ASC 606 revenue”), where the minimum payment arrangement in each contract is considered a single performance obligation that is primarily satisfied over time through the contract term. Revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments and revenue recognized based solely on the volume of product distributed or injected are referred to as ancillary. The ancillary revenue associated with terminaling services include volumes of product throughput that exceed the contractually established minimum volumes, injection fees based on the volume of product injected with additive compounds, heating and mixing of stored products, product transfer, railcar handling, butane blending, proceeds from the sale of product gains, wharfage and vapor recovery. The revenue generated by these services is required to be estimated under ASC 606 for any uncertainty that is not resolved in the period of the service. We account for the majority of ancillary revenue at individual points in time when the services are delivered to the customer. The majority of our ancillary revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606 (see Note 15 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). Pipeline transportation fees. We earned pipeline transportation fees at our Diamondback pipeline under a capacity reservation agreement that ended on May 26, 2021. Revenue associated with the capacity reservation agreement was recognized ratably over the respective term, regardless of whether the capacity was actually utilized. We earned pipeline transportation fees at our Razorback pipeline based on an allocation of the aggregate fees charged under the capacity agreement with our customer who was contracted for 100% of our Razorback system through December 31, 55 Table of Contents TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) Years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 2020. Effective January 1, 2021, our customer has leased 100% of our Razorback system and assumed operatorship of the Razorback pipeline and the terminals in Mount Vernon, Missouri and in Rogers, Arkansas. Beginning in 2021, the fees associated with this lease agreement are recognized as terminaling services fees. Pipeline transportation revenue is primarily accounted for in accordance with ASC 842. Management fees. We manage and operate certain tank capacity at our Port Everglades South terminal for a major oil company and receive a reimbursement of its proportionate share of operating and maintenance costs. We manage and operate the Frontera joint venture and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. We lease land under operating leases as the lessor or sublessor with third parties and affiliates. We manage and operate rail sites at certain Southeast terminals on behalf of a major oil company and receive reimbursement for operating and maintenance costs. We manage and operate SeaPort Midstream and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. We also manage additional terminal facilities that are owned by affiliates of ArcLight, including Lucknow-Highspire Terminals, LLC, which operates terminals throughout Pennsylvania encompassing approximately 9.9 million barrels of storage capacity, and prior to July 1, 2019, a terminal in Baltimore, Maryland for Pike Baltimore Terminals, LLC (the “Baltimore Terminal”), and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. Our management of the Baltimore Terminal ended on July 1, 2019. Management fee revenue is recognized at individual points in time as the services are performed or as the costs are incurred and is primarily accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. Management fees related to lease revenue are accounted for in accordance with ASC 842. Product sales. Our product sales revenue refers to the sale of refined and renewable products at our Tacoma, Washington terminal. Product sales revenue pricing is contractually specified, and we have determined that each transaction represents a separate performance obligation. Product sales revenue is recognized at a point in time when our customers take control and legal title of the commodities purchased. Product sales revenue is recorded gross of cost of product sales, which includes product supply and transportation costs, as we are responsible for fulfilling the promise in the sales contract and maintain inventory risk. Product sales revenue is accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. (d) Cash and cash equivalents We consider all short-term investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. (e) Inventory Inventory represents refined and renewable products held for resale and are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by using the average cost method. (f) Property, plant and equipment Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are 15 to 25 years for terminals and pipelines and 3 to 25 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. All items of property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures that increase capacity or extend useful lives are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable based on expected undiscounted future cash flows attributable to that asset group. If an asset group is impaired, the impairment loss to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount of the asset group over its estimated fair value. We did not recognize any impairment charges for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. 56 Table of Contents TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) Years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (g) Investments in unconsolidated affiliates We account for our investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which we do not control but do have the ability to exercise significant influence over, using the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the investment is recorded at acquisition cost, increased by our proportionate share of any earnings and additional capital contributions and decreased by our proportionate share of any losses, distributions received and amortization of any excess investment. Excess investment is the amount by which our total investment exceeds our proportionate share of the book value of the net assets of the investment entity. We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated affiliates for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate there is a loss in value of the investment that is other than temporary. In the event of impairment, we would record a charge to earnings to adjust the carrying amount to estimated fair value. We did not recognize any impairment charges for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. (h) Environmental obligations We accrue for environmental costs that relate to existing conditions caused by past operations when probable and reasonably estimable (see Note 10 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). Environmental costs include initial site surveys and environmental studies of potentially contaminated sites, costs for remediation and restoration of sites determined to be contaminated and ongoing monitoring costs, as well as fines, damages and other costs, including direct legal costs. Liabilities for environmental costs at a specific site are initially recorded, on an undiscounted basis, when it is probable that we will be liable for such costs, and a reasonable estimate of the associated costs can be made based on available information. Such an estimate includes our share of the liability for each specific site and the sharing of the amounts related to each site that will not be paid by other potentially responsible parties, based on enacted laws and adopted regulations and policies. Adjustments to initial estimates are recorded, from time to time, to reflect changing circumstances and estimates based upon additional information developed in subsequent periods. Estimates of our ultimate liabilities associated with environmental costs are difficult to make with certainty due to the number of variables involved, including the early stage of investigation at certain sites, the lengthy time frames required to complete remediation, technology changes, alternatives available and the evolving nature of environmental laws and regulations. We periodically file claims for insurance recoveries of certain environmental remediation costs with our insurance carriers under our comprehensive liability policies (see Note 5 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). In connection with our acquisition of the Florida (other than Pensacola), Midwest, Brownsville, Texas, River, Southeast, and Pensacola, Florida terminal and facilities, a third party agreed to indemnify us against certain potential environmental claims, losses and expenses. Based on our current knowledge, we expect that the active remediation projects subject to the benefit of this indemnification obligation are winding down and will not involve material additional claims, losses, and expenses. Nonetheless, the forgoing environmental indemnification obligations of a third party to us remain in place and were not affected by the Take-Private Transaction. (i) Asset retirement obligations Asset retirement obligations are legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal use of the asset. GAAP requires that the fair value of a liability related to the retirement of long-lived assets be recorded at the time a legal obligation is incurred. Once an asset retirement obligation is identified and a liability is recorded, a corresponding asset is recorded, which is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. After the initial measurement, the liability is adjusted to reflect changes in the asset retirement obligation. If and when it is determined that a legal obligation has been incurred, the fair value of any liability is determined based on estimates and assumptions related to retirement costs, future inflation rates and interest rates. Our long-lived assets consist of above-ground storage facilities and underground pipelines. We are unable to predict if and when these long-lived assets will become completely obsolete and require dismantlement. We have not recorded an asset retirement obligation, or corresponding asset, because the future dismantlement and removal dates of our long-lived assets is indeterminable and the amount of any associated costs are believed to be insignificant. Changes in our assumptions and estimates may occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. 57 Table of Contents TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) Years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (j) Accounting for derivative instruments Generally accepted accounting principles require us to recognize all derivative instruments at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, our derivative instruments were limited to interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $nil and $100 million, respectively. The interest rate swap agreements ended in November 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, we paid a blended fixed rate and received interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR. The net difference to be paid or received under the interest rate swap agreements was settled monthly and was recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements was determined using a pricing model based on the LIBOR swap rate and other observable market data. (k) Income taxes No provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because we are treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, all income, gains, losses, expenses, deductions and tax credits generated by us flow up to our owners. (l) Comprehensive income Entities that report items of other comprehensive income have the option to present the components of net earnings and comprehensive income in either one continuous financial statement, or two consecutive financial statements. As we have no components of comprehensive income other than net earnings, no statement of comprehensive income has been presented. (m) Recent accounting pronouncements In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. Further, in January 2021, the FASB issued Update No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), which clarifies the scope of Topic 848 so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848. This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by this reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to re-measure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Entities can also elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. We are currently reviewing the effect of this ASU on our financial statements. (n) Going concern assessment and management’s plan Pursuant to FASB ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, we are required to assess our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its 58 Table of Contents TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) Years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 obligations as they become due within one year from the financial statement issuance date. We had a revolving credit facility that was set to mature in March 2022. On November 17, 2021, we entered into the Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) for a $1 billion senior secured term loan and a $150 million revolving credit facility that replaced the revolving credit facility set to mature in March 2022. With the execution of the Credit Agreement all substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern has been resolved (see Note 11 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

(3) CONTRIBUTION OF TERMINAL ASSETS Contribution of Pacific Northwest assets. On November 17, 2021, Arclight contributed Pike West Coast Holdings, LLC (“Pike West Coast”), a portfolio company of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VI, L.P. to the Company in exchange for payments to certain lenders of SeaPort Financing, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of Pike West Coast) in the amount of approximately $198.2 million and a distribution to Arclight in the amount of approximately $256.3 million. In addition, a $10.2 million short-term loan from the Company to an ArcLight affiliate was terminated in contemplation of the contribution. Pike West Coast is an infrastructure company with significant operations across the renewable fuels supply chain in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (the “Pacific Northwest Contribution”). Pike West Coast owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Financing, LLC. SeaPort Financing, LLC owns a 100% ownership interest in SeaPort Sound Terminal, LLC, which owns a refined and renewable products terminal in Tacoma, Washington, a 51% ownership interest in SeaPort Midstream, which owns refined and renewable products terminals in both Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon, and a 30% ownership interest in Olympic Pipeline Company, which owns the Olympic Pipeline between Blaine, Washington and Portland, Oregon and a refined and renewable products terminal in Bayview, Washington. The Pacific Northwest Contribution has been recorded at carryover basis as a reorganization of entities under common control. As such, prior periods include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Pacific Northwest Contribution for all periods presented. We recorded the assets at their net book value of $84.7 million with the remaining consideration paid of $181.8 million recorded as a reduction to member equity interest. The difference between the consideration we paid and the carryover basis of the net assets purchased has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statement of equity as a decrease to the member interest. 60 Table of Contents TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) Years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Our basis in the assets and liabilities of the Pacific Northwest Contribution at the time of the contribution was as follows (in thousands): Cash Trade accounts receivable Inventory Other current assets Property, plant and equipment, net Investment in unconsolidated affiliates Goodwill Other assets, net Trade accounts payable Senior secured term loan Accrued and other liabilities Equity $ $ 19,078 8,174 3,145 671 120,215 108,691 9,158 14,689 (6,062) (191,510) (1,552) 84,697 (4) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Our primary market areas are located in the United States along the Gulf Coast, in the Southeast, in Brownsville, Texas, along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, in the Midwest and along the West Coast. We have a concentration of trade receivable balances due from companies engaged in the trading, distribution and marketing of refined products, renewable products and crude oil. These concentrations of customers may affect our overall credit risk in that the customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other factors. Our customers’ historical financial and operating information is analyzed prior to extending credit. We manage our exposure to credit risk through credit analysis, credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and for certain transactions we may request letters of credit, prepayments or guarantees.

We recognize our insurance recoveries in the period that we assess the likelihood of recovery as being probable (i.e., likely to occur). At December 31, 2021 and 2020, we have recognized amounts due from insurance companies of approximately $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, representing our best estimate of our probable insurance recoveries. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we received reimbursements from insurance companies of approximately $0.3 million.

Our annual test for the impairment of goodwill is performed as of December 31. The impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units are our operating segments (see Note 16 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). The fair value of each reporting unit is determined on a stand-alone basis from the perspective of a market participant and represents an estimate of the price that would be received to sell the unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired. At December 31, 2021 and 2020 our Brownsville and West Coast terminals contained goodwill. Our estimate of the fair value of our Brownsville and West Coast terminals at December 31, 2021 and 2020 substantially exceeded the carrying amount. Accordingly, we did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. However, an increase in the assumed market participants’ weighted average cost of capital, the loss of a significant customer, the disposition of significant assets, or an unforeseen increase in the costs to operate and maintain the Brownsville and West Coast terminals, could result in the recognition of an impairment charge in the future. (8) INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES At December 31, 2021 and 2020, our investments in unconsolidated affiliates include a 42.5% Class A ownership interest in Battleground Oil Specialty Terminal Company LLC (“BOSTCO”), a 30% ownership interest in Olympic Pipeline Company, a 51% ownership interest in SeaPort Midstream and a 50% ownership interest in Frontera. BOSTCO is a terminal facility located on the Houston Ship Channel that encompasses approximately 7.1 million barrels of distillate, residual and other black oil product storage.

Other assets, net include certain customer relationships at our West Coast terminals. These customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over approximately ten to twenty years. Amortizable intangible assets are only evaluated for impairment upon a significant change in the operating environment. If an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is generally based on discounted future cash flows. We have not taken an impairment on customer relationships in the years presented. Expected future amortization expense for the customer relationships as of December 31, 2021 is as follows (in thousands): Amortization expense Years ending December 31, 2022 $ 3,195 2023 $ 3,195 2024 $ 3,195 2025 $ 3,195 2026 $ 3,195 Thereafter $ 34,642 SeaPort Midstream member loan.

The purpose of the savings and retention plan is to provide for the reward and retention of participants by providing them with awards that vest over future service periods. Awards under the plan with respect to individuals providing services to the Company generally become vested as to 50% of a participant’s annual award as of the first day of the month that falls closest to the second anniversary of the grant date, and the remaining 50% as of the first day of the month that falls closest to the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to earlier vesting upon a participant’s attainment of the age and length of service thresholds, retirement, death or disability, involuntary termination without cause, or termination of a participant’s employment following a change in control of the Company as specified in the plan. The awards are increased for the value of any accrued growth based on underlying investments deemed made with respect to the awards. The awards (including any accrued growth relating thereto) are subject to forfeiture until the vesting date. A person will satisfy the age and length of service thresholds of the plan upon the attainment of the earliest of (a) age sixty, (b) age fifty-five and ten years of service as an officer of the Company or any of its affiliates or predecessors, or (c) age fifty and twenty years of service as an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or predecessors. We have the intent and ability to settle the savings and retention plan awards in cash, and accordingly, we account for the awards as accrued liabilities. For savings and retention plan awards to employees, approximately $2.4 million, $2.2 million and $2.5 million is included in deferred compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 68 Table of Contents TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) Years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 On December 30, 2021, our indirect parent, Pike Petroleum Holdings, LLC, repurchased and cancelled class B units that were granted by Pike West Coast Holdings, LLC prior to the Pacific Northwest Contribution for approximately $12.5 million. The cancellation of the class B units was treated as a modification, where no cumulative expense was recognized prior to the cancellation, as the grant date fair value of the class B units at the time of issuance was $nil. The approximately $12.5 million repurchase and cancellation of the class B units was recognized as deferred compensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations on the cancelation date as there is no future service or performance criteria. The cash payment for the repurchase and cancellation of the class B units was made by Pike Petroleum Holdings, LLC. Accordingly, we have accounted for this as a non-cash contribution from parent entities in our consolidated statements of equity and non-cash equity-based compensation in our consolidated statements of cash flows. On December 31, 2021, an indirect parent of the Company modified existing class B units in the indirect parent of the Company to the officers of TMC. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized approximately $0.9 million of deferred compensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations, non-cash contribution from parent entities in our consolidated statements of equity and non-cash equity-based compensation in our consolidated statements of cash flows related to the portion of the class B units that vested on December 31, 2021. (13) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lessee operating lease commitments. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases and the series of related Accounting Standards Updates that followed (collectively referred to as “ASC 842”), using the modified retrospective transition method applied at the effective date of the standard. By electing this optional transition method, information prior to January 1, 2019 has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period (ASC 840). The Company elected the following practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard: 1) the option to carry forward the historical lease classifications and assessment of initial direct costs; 2) the option to not include leases with an initial term of less than twelve months in the lease assets and liabilities; and 3) the option to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. We lease property including corporate offices, vehicles and land. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and evaluate identified leases for operating or finance lease treatment at lease commencement. Operating or finance lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to 49 years, some of which have options to extend or terminate the lease. For purposes of calculating operating lease liabilities, lease terms may be deemed to include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The impact of ASC 842 on our consolidated balance sheet beginning January 1, 2019 was the recognition of right- of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. Unamortized lease incentives were reclassified into right-of-use assets on January 1, 2019. No impact was recorded to the consolidated statement of operations or beginning equity for ASC 842. Beginning January 1, 2019, operating right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Operating leases in effect prior to January 1, 2019 were recognized at the present value of the remaining payments on the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019. The additions to right-of-use assets obtained from new operating lease liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2021 of approximately $17.9 million are treated as non-cash transactions that do not impact the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We determined our incremental borrowing rate using the borrowing rate of our debt agreements. The terms of our corporate offices, vehicles and land leases are in line with the Credit Agreement, our primary finance mechanism. We have certain land and vehicle lease 69 Table of Contents TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) Years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately. Non-lease components include payments for taxes and other operating and maintenance expenses incurred by the lessor but payable by us in connection with the leasing arrangement. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 the Company was party to certain subleasing arrangements whereby the Company, as the primary obligor on the lease, has recognized sublease income for lease payments made by affiliates to the lessor.

At December 31, 2021, we have contractual commitments of approximately $23.8 million for the supply of services, labor and materials related to capital projects that currently are under development. We expect that these contractual commitments will primarily be paid within a year. Legal proceedings. We are party to various legal, regulatory and other matters arising from the day-to-day operations of our business that may result in claims against us. While the ultimate impact of any proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, our management believes that the resolution of any of our pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 70 Table of Contents TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) Years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (14) DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of higher-level inputs for valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: (1) Level 1 inputs, which are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (2) Level 2 inputs, which are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and (3) Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair values of the following financial instruments represent our best estimate of the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. Our fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects our judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments at December 31, 2021 and 2020. There were no transfers between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2021. Cash equivalents. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value is categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivative instruments. The carrying amount of our interest rate swaps was determined using a pricing model based on the LIBOR swap rate and other observable market data. The fair value is categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Debt. The estimated fair value of our $1 billion senior secured term loan at December 31, 2021 was approximately $1 billion based on observable market trades. The estimated fair value of our $299.9 million publicly traded senior notes at December 31, 2021 was approximately $296.5 million based on observable market trades. The carrying amount of our revolving credit facility debt approximates fair value since borrowings under the facility bear interest at current market interest rates. The fair value of our debt is categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. (15) REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS The majority of our terminaling services agreements contain minimum payment arrangements, resulting in a fixed amount of revenue recognized, which we refer to as “firm commitments” and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842 revenue”). The remainder is recognized in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606 revenue”). 71 Table of Contents TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) Years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 The following table provides details of our revenue disaggregated by category of revenue (in thousands): Year ended Year ended Year ended December 31, December 31, December 31, 2020 2019 2021 Terminaling services fees: Firm commitments (ASC 842 revenue) Firm commitments (ASC 606 revenue) Total firm commitments revenue Ancillary revenue (ASC 606 revenue) Ancillary revenue (ASC 842 revenue) Total ancillary revenue Total terminaling services fees Product sales (ASC 606 revenue) Pipeline transportation fees (ASC 842 revenue) Management fees (ASC 606 revenue) Management fees (ASC 842 revenue) Total management fees Total revenue $ 184,082 38,678 222,760 51,787 1,934 53,721 276,481 231,239 638 10,870 1,452 12,322 $ 520,680 $ 198,165 31,197 229,362 46,307 4,003 50,310 279,672 183,555 3,519 9,731 1,211 10,942 $ 477,688 $ 178,214 26,444 204,658 55,772 4,448 60,220 264,878 249,711 3,457 9,646 1,799 11,445 $ 529,491 The following table includes our estimated future revenue associated with our firm commitments under terminaling services fees which is expected to be recognized as ASC 606 revenue in the specified period related to our future performance obligations as of the end of the reporting period (in thousands): Estimated Future ASC 606 Revenue by Segment Gulf Coast Midwest Brownsville River Southeast West Coast Central 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Thereafter Total estimated future ASC 606 revenue $ $ $ Terminals Terminals Terminals Terminals Terminals Terminals Services Total 1,107 533 — — — — 1,640 — $ 25,625 8,281 — 1,815 — 1,651 — 404 — — — — $ 37,776 14,013 5,051 164 — — — 19,228 4,126 781 — — — — 4,907 4,270 233 — — — — 4,503 1,651 1,651 1,651 1,651 404 — 7,008 458 32 — — — — 490 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Our estimated future ASC 606 revenue, for purposes of the tabular presentation above, excludes estimates of future rate changes due to changes in indices or contractually negotiated rate escalations and is generally limited to contracts that have minimum payment arrangements.

Contract liabilities. Our contract liabilities include deferred revenue and customer advances and deposits. We have long-term terminaling services agreements with certain of our customers that provide for advance minimum payments. We recognize the advance minimum payments as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective agreements. In addition, pursuant to certain terminaling services agreements with our customers, we agreed to undertake certain capital projects. Upon completion of the projects, our customers have paid us amounts that will be recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the agreements. Collectively, the differences between amounts billed and revenue recognized under ASC 606 and ASC 842 are recorded as contract liabilities. These liabilities are presented as deferred revenue in our consolidated balance sheets. We record customer advances and deposits when payments are received from customers in advance of the terminaling services being provided, resulting in a contract liability accounted for under ASC 606 and ASC 842. This liability is presented as accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets (see Note 10 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). 73 Table of Contents TransMontaigne Partners LLC and Subsidiaries Notes to consolidated financial statements (continued) Years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 The following table presents our contract liabilities resulting from contracts with customers (in thousands): Contract liabilities at December 31, 2020 Contract liabilities at December 31, 2021 Contracts under ASC 606 1,044 1,301 $ $ ASC 842 $ 14,465 $ 12,605 Total $ 15,509 $ 13,906 Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021, from amounts included in contract liabilities at December 31, 2020, was approximately $1.0 million for contracts under ASC 606 and approximately $13.1 million for contracts under ASC 842. (16) BUSINESS SEGMENTS We provide integrated terminaling, storage, transportation and related services to companies engaged in the trading, distribution and marketing of refined petroleum products, renewable products, crude oil, chemicals, fertilizers and other liquid products. In addition, our Tacoma, Washington terminal sells refined and renewable products to producers and marketers in the Pacific Northwest. Our chief operating decision maker is the Company’s chief executive officer. The Company’s chief executive officer reviews the financial performance of our business segments using disaggregated financial information about “net margins” for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. “Net margins” is composed of revenue less cost of product sales and operating costs and expenses. Accordingly, we present “net margins” for each of our business segments: (i) Gulf Coast terminals, (ii) Midwest terminals, (iii) Brownsville terminals including management of the Frontera joint venture, (iv) River terminals, (v) Southeast terminals, (vi) West Coast terminals and (vii) Central services.

indirect parent, Pike Petroleum Holdings, LLC (“PPH”). PPH is authorized to use the proceeds of the loan to cash collateralize a letter of credit facility and/or the operations of its subsidiary Gulf Operating, LLC. The outstanding principal amount of the loan will bear interest at a market rate calculated in accordance with our Credit Agreement, plus 15%. Any unpaid interest will be added to the outstanding principal at the end of each month. The outstanding principal plus any unpaid interest can be repaid at any time and becomes immediately due upon a change in control, a sale of the Company or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. With this loan we have reached our maximum allowable loans to affiliates under the Credit Agreement. 77 Table of Contents ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our executive and principal financial officer (whom we refer to as the Certifying Officers), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The management of our sole equity-holder (TLP Finance Holdings, LLC) evaluated, with the participation of the Certifying Officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2021, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. In addition, our Certifying Officers concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The management of our sole equity-holder is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. The management of our sole equity-holder has used the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control —Integrated Framework (2013)” published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, the management of our sole equity-holder has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021. March 31, 2022 78 Table of Contents ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION No information was required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K, but not so reported, for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. ITEM 9C. DISCLOSURE REGARDING FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS THAT PREVENT INSPECTIONS None. Part III ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE TLP Finance Holdings, LLC (“TLP Finance”) is our sole equity-holder and manages our operations and activities. Further, our company’s executive officers are employees of an affiliate of ArcLight, TransMontaigne Management Company, LLC (“TMC”). As a result, our management activities are entirely conducted by affiliates of ArcLight. As we are managed by our sole equity- holder, TLP Finance, we do not have a board of directors and the decisions of TLP Finance are not governed by any specific policies. TLP Finance may adopt certain policies governing its decision-making processes with respect to our management in the future. Corporate Governance Guidelines; Code of Business Conduct and Ethics To address governance changes in connection with our being wholly owned by an indirect controlled subsidiary of ArcLight following the Take-Private Transaction, the Company adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, which includes substantially similar terms to the policies in place for our general partner prior to the Take-Private Transaction. The Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers applies to the senior financial officers of the Company, including the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the chief accounting officer, the chief operating officer and the president or persons performing similar functions. In addition, to address governance changes in connection with our being wholly owned by an indirect controlled subsidiary of ArcLight following the Take-Private Transaction, the Company adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all employees providing services to the Company and all officers of the Company. Management of the Company and Officers TLP Finance, our sole equity-holder, manages and oversees our operations. As part of its oversight function, TLP Finance monitors how management operates the Company. When granting authority to management, approving strategies and receiving management reports, TLP Finance considers, among other things, the risks and vulnerabilities we face. As of the date of this report, the Company does not have its own board of directors. In connection with the Take- Private Transaction, on February 26, 2019, TransMontaigne GP L.L.C., the general partner of the Partnership prior to its conversion to a Delaware limited liability company, merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving. In addition, as a result of the Take-Private Transaction, and the adoption of our limited liability company agreement on February 26, 2019, management of the Company was vested in TLP Finance, an indirect controlled subsidiary of ArcLight. Accordingly, the board of directors of TransMontaigne GP L.L.C. was dissolved, and each of our former independent directors, Jay A. Wiese, Steven A. Blank, and Barry E. Welch resigned from the board of directors of TransMontaigne GP L.L.C. Each of Messrs. Wiese, Blank and Welch resigned without any claims for compensation (or otherwise), or any disagreements with any matter relating to the operations, internal controls, policies, or practices of the Partnership, the general partner, or the board of directors of the general partner, and the resignation of each was solely as a result of the Take-Private Transaction. In addition, as a result of the Take-Private Transaction and our management by TLP Finance following the effective-time thereof, none of Daniel R. Revers, Kevin M. Crosby, Lucius H. Taylor, or Theodore D. Burke, each of whom previously sat on the board of directors of TransMontaigne GP L.L.C. and are employees of ArcLight, continue to serve in such capacity. 79 Table of Contents Executive Officers The following table sets forth the names, ages and titles of the executive officers of the Company, each of whom is an employee of an ArcLight affiliate, as of March 31, 2022: Name Frederick W.

Mr. White received a B.S. in Civil Engineering from the United States Military Academy at West Point and a J.D. and M.B.A. from the University of Denver. Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) requires the executive officers and directors of our general partner, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities (collectively, “Reporting Persons”) to file with the SEC and the NYSE initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common units and our other equity securities. No Section 16(a) filings were required during the relevant time period. Committees of the Board of Directors and Management following the Take-Private Transaction Prior to the Take-Private Transaction, the board of directors of our general partner had three standing committees: an audit committee, a conflicts committee and a compensation committee. Following the Take-Private Transaction, we no longer have a board of directors and are instead managed by our sole equity-holder. The Company is not required to have, and does not have, a separately designated standing audit committee composed of independent directors, as its securities are not listed on a national securities exchange that requires such independence. The Company has determined that it is not necessary to designate, and has not designated, an “audit committee financial expert” as it is privately held and solely a voluntary filer with the Securities and Exchange Commission following the Take-Private Transaction as required by the covenants contained in the Company’s outstanding senior notes. As we do not have a board of directors, there are no applicable board nomination procedures to report. ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION We do not directly employ any of the persons responsible for the executive-level management of our business. Instead, we are managed by ArcLight, and our executive officers are employees of an affiliate of ArcLight, TMC, which also provides services to other ArcLight affiliates. As a result, we do not incur any direct compensation costs for our executive officers. Prior to the TMS Contribution, in accordance with the Omnibus Agreement, we paid ArcLight and its affiliates, an annual administration fee intended to compensate ArcLight and its affiliates for providing services related to the management of our business, including services provided to us by our executive officers. Following the TMS Contribution, pursuant to a services agreement, we pay TMC a fee intended to reimburse TMC for the services provided to us by our executive officers (each of whom are employed by TMC). For additional information, refer to the discussion under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence Relationship and Agreements With our Affiliates—TMS Contribution and TMC Services Agreement.” Employment and Other Agreements We have not entered into any employment agreements with any of our officers. Compensation Committee Report Following the Take-Private Transaction, we do not have a compensation committee. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS Following the Take-Private Transaction, we are managed by our sole equity-holder, TLP Finance, and we do not have a board of directors. 81 Table of Contents Prior to the Take-Private Transaction, employees of our general partner or its affiliates (including employees of ArcLight and its affiliates) who also served as directors of our general partner did not receive additional compensation. Pursuant to our independent director annual compensation program in place prior to the Take-Private Transaction, the independent directors received annual compensation consisting of: (i) $60,000 annual cash retainer; paid quarterly in arrears, and (ii) common units valued at $90,000 and issued pursuant to the TLP Management Services long-term incentive plan, which common units were immediately vested and were not subject to forfeiture. For each annual award of common units issued to the independent directors under the TLP Management Services long-term incentive plan prior to the Take- Private Transaction, the awards were made on the third Friday of October (or the next trading day if the NYSE is closed), based on the closing sales price during normal trading hours of the common units on the NYSE. In addition, each director was reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with attending meetings of the board of directors or committees. In 2019, and as a result of the Take-Private Transaction closing on February 26, 2019, we paid the independent directors (i) a pro rata portion of the annual cash retainer and (ii) the pro rata portion of the $90,000 compensation previously settled by issuing common units pursuant to the TLP Management Services long-term incentive plan, settled in cash, in each case for their services prior to the closing of the Take-Private Transaction. In addition, each of our independent directors received additional compensation in connection with their review, evaluation, regulation, and approval of the Take-Private Transaction, as duly approved by the board of directors of our general partner on July 27, 2018. For their additional services in the fourth quarter of 2018 (paid in 2019) and 2019, Messrs. Blank and Wiese received an additional $144,055, and Mr. Welch received an additional $166,555. No additional consideration was paid to the independent directors for service on any committee of the board of directors of our general partner or for service as a committee chairperson unless approved by the board in advance for a specific engagement or transaction. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION Following the Take-Private Transaction, we do not have a compensation committee. SAVINGS AND RETENTION PLAN On February 26, 2016, the board of directors approved the savings and retention program, which constituted a “program” under, and be subject to, the TLP Management Services long-term incentive plan in place prior to the Take- Private Transaction, for employees who provide services with respect to our business. TLP Management Services LLC (“TMS”) adopted an amended and restated savings and retention plan on February 25, 2019, which, among other items, accounted for the closing of the Take-Private Transaction. The purpose of the plan is to provide for the reward and retention of participants by providing them with awards that vest over future service periods. Following the Take-Private Transaction, our executive officers, other than Matthew B. White who was appointed as our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary in September 2021, no longer receive awards under the plan. Awards under the plan vest as to 50% of a participant’s annual award on the first day of the month containing the second anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 50% on the first day of the month containing the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to earlier vesting upon a participant’s attainment of certain age or length of service thresholds as specified in the plan. Awards are payable as to 50% of a participant’s annual award in the month containing the second anniversary of the grant date, and the remaining 50% in the month containing the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to earlier payment upon the participant’s retirement after achieving the age or service thresholds, death or disability, involuntary termination without cause or termination of a participant’s employment following a change in control, each as specified in the plan. The awards are increased for the value of any accrued growth based on underlying “investments” deemed made with respect to the awards. The awards (including any accrued growth relating thereto) are subject to forfeiture until the vesting date. The Take-Private Transaction did not accelerate the vesting of any of the awards. Pursuant to the provisions of the plan, once participating employees of TMS reach the age and length of service thresholds set forth below, awards are immediately vested and become payable as set forth above, and such vested awards remain subject to forfeiture as specified in the plan. A person will satisfy the age and length of service thresholds of the plan upon the attainment of the earliest of (a) age sixty, (b) age fifty-five and ten years of service as an officer of TMS or its affiliates, including us, or (c) age fifty and twenty years of service as an employee of TMS or its affiliates. Generally, only senior level management employees of TMS receive awards under the savings and retention plan. Although no assets are segregated or otherwise set aside with respect to a participant’s account, the amount ultimately 82 Table of Contents payable to a participant shall be the amount credited to such participant’s account as if such account had been invested in some or all of the investment funds selected by the plan administrator. As a result of the TMS Contribution, we have assumed the employees and operational activities previously provided by TMS, including liabilities with respect to awards granted under the savings and retention plan. In connection with the Take-Private Transaction, the awards that were previously allocated to the common units fund (tracking the performance of the Partnership’s common units on the New York Stock Exchange) were reallocated to a different investment fund and will be settled in cash, rather than via the issuance of common units. For the vested awards paid in 2019, as a result of the Take-Private Transaction, the Company did not issue common units; instead the plan paid out an aggregate cash amount of approximately $2.7 million, which included $467,087 for Mr. Boutin, $225,839 for Mr. Fuller, $236,867 for Mr. Dugan, $204,917 for Mr. Hammell (who served as our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary until September 2021) and $381,636 for Mr. Huff. Following the Take-Private Transaction and the TMS Contribution, we index our award obligations to other forms of investments set forth in the plan and pay them out in cash. ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED UNITHOLDER MATTERS As a result of the Take-Private Transaction, TLP Finance is the beneficial owner of 100 percent of our outstanding equity interests. EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION Following the Take-Private Transaction, the Company does not have an equity compensation plan. ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE RELATIONSHIP AND AGREEMENTS WITH OUR AFFILIATES Following the Take-Private Transaction, TLP Finance, an indirect controlled subsidiary of ArcLight, has acquired 100 percent of the equity interests in the Company, and the Company is no longer listed on the NYSE and our equity is no longer publicly traded. Certain related party agreements and other related party transactions, in each case with ArcLight, are set forth below. TMS Contribution and TMC Services Agreement. Effective June 1, 2019, TLP Finance contributed all of the issued and outstanding equity of its wholly owned subsidiary, TLP Management Services LLC (“TMS” and such interest, the “TMS Interest”) to the Company, and the Company immediately contributed the TMS Interest to its 100% owned operating company subsidiary TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P. (the “TMS Contribution”). Prior to the TMS Contribution, we had no employees and all of our management and operational activities were provided by TMS. Further, TMS provided all payroll programs and maintained all employee benefits programs on behalf of our company with respect to applicable TMS employees (as well as on behalf of certain other Arclight affiliates). As a result of the TMS Contribution, we have assumed the employees and operational activities previously provided by TMS. The TMS Contribution has been recorded at carryover basis as a reorganization of entities under common control. As such, prior periods include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of TMS for all periods presented. As a result of the TMS Contribution, the omnibus agreement in place in various forms since the inception of the Partnership, and immediately prior to the TMS Contribution between TMS and us, which, among other things, governed the provision of management and operational services provided for us by TMS, is no longer relevant and was terminated. Following the TMS Contribution, our executive officers who provide services to the Company are employed by TMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ArcLight, which also provides services to certain other ArcLight affiliates. As a result, we do not directly employ any of the persons responsible for the executive management of our business. Nonetheless, TMS continues to provide certain payroll functions and maintains all employee benefits programs on 83 Table of Contents behalf of TMC pursuant to a services agreement between TMC and TMS. Aggregate fees paid with respect to the services agreement for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $3.2 million, $2.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Central Services. We manage and operate terminals that are owned by affiliates of ArcLight, including SeaPort Midstream in Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon and prior to November 17, 2021, SeaPort Sound Terminal, LLC (“SeaPort Sound”) in Tacoma, Washington and, receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. Our management of SeaPort Sound ended on November 17, 2021 with the Pacific Northwest Contribution. Aggregate annual fees received with respect to services provided for SeaPort Midstream for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $3.8 million, $3.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Aggregate annual fees received with respect to services provided for SeaPort Sound for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, were approximately $6.4 million, $7.7 million and $7.2 million, respectively. We also manage additional terminal facilities that are owned by affiliates of ArcLight, including Lucknow- Highspire Terminals, LLC, which operates terminals throughout Pennsylvania encompassing approximately 9.9 million barrels of storage capacity, and prior to July 1, 2019, a terminal in Baltimore, Maryland for Pike Baltimore Terminals, LLC (the “Baltimore Terminal”), and receive a management fee based on our costs incurred. Our management of the Baltimore terminal ended on July 1, 2019. Aggregate annual fees received with respect to services performed for Lucknow-Highspire Terminals, LLC and the Baltimore Terminal for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $2.1 million, $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Terminaling Services Agreements. We have entered into terminaling services agreements with affiliates of ArcLight, which is discussed under Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 2 of Notes to consolidated financial statements "Transactions with Affiliates”. Affiliate Loan. On March 30, 2022, the Company and TransMontaigne Operating Company L.P., our wholly owned subsidiary, made a $25 million intercompany loan to our indirect parent, Pike Petroleum Holdings, LLC (“PPH”). PPH is authorized to use the proceeds of the loan to cash collateralize a letter of credit facility and/or the operations of its subsidiary Gulf Operating, LLC. The outstanding principal amount of the loan will bear interest at a market rate calculated in accordance with our Credit Agreement, plus 15%. Any unpaid interest will be added to the outstanding principal at the end of each month. The outstanding principal plus any unpaid interest can be repaid at any time and becomes immediately due upon a change in control, a sale of the Company or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. With this loan we have reached our maximum allowable loans to affiliates under the Credit Agreement. ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES Deloitte & Touche LLP is our independent auditor.
