Re-contracting / Customer Diversification
8
TLP has made significant progress in diversifying its customer base in the short time since the completion of Morgan Stanley’s sale of the general partner on July 1, 2014.
Morgan Stanley represented 62% of our revenue on June 30, 2014.
Today, Morgan Stanley represents only 13% of our revenues, primarily at our Collins/Purvis bulk storage terminal.
Much of the capacity that NGL assumed from Morgan Stanley has been re-contracted to third-parties.
With additional growth opportunities anticipated for 2015, our customer base should continue to diversify.
Our Bostco and Frontera joint ventures further diversify TLP’s sources of distributable cash flow.
Bostco Overview Bostco is a newly constructed black oil terminal in the Houston Ship Channel with approximately
7.1 million barrels of capacity (Phase I and Phase II) with a total capital investment of approximately $535 million.
Phase I commercial operations commenced in October of 2013. As of September 2014, all Phase I and Phase II tanks have been placed into service and are fully operational.
In February 2014 we received our first distribution from Bostco, and expect the quarterly Bostco distributions to continue to increase in 2015.
TLP owns 42.5% of Bostco and Kinder Morgan owns 55%. TLP’s investment in Phases I and II is approximately $235 million.
Phases I and II are fully contracted for on a long-term basis.
Multiple alternatives for Phase III being evaluated and could be equivalent in size to Phases I and II combined.

Houston Ship Channel Refinery Complex
10
Texas’s 26 petroleum refineries have a capacity of over 4.7 million barrels of crude oil per day and account for approximately 27 percent of total U.S. refining capacity. This capacity results in the need to handle residual fuels, blend stocks and other products Bostco is specifically designed to handle.
11
Other Growth Opportunities
Bostco Phase III expansion.
Collins/Purvis expansion projects. Butane blending at multiple locations.
Available capacity at Florida and River terminals. Future projects with Frontera JV.
12
Recent Developments Effective July 1st, Morgan Stanley completed its sale of TransMontaigne
Inc. to NGL Energy Partners LP (NGL), which resulted in a change in control of our general partner. ― NGL acquired Morgan Stanley’s and TransMontaigne’s outstanding
common units, which represent 20% of the total outstanding common units.
― The transaction did not involve the sale of any of our common units held by the public, and our common units continue to trade on the NYSE.
― NGL assumed Morgan Stanley’s rights pursuant to TLP’s light products terminaling services agreements in Florida and the Southeast, excluding the Collins Purvis tankage.
― Our omnibus agreement with TransMontaigne Inc. did not change.
Recent Developments (Continued) Effective November 19th, we contracted our bunker capacity at Cape Canaveral to a third
party. ― Capacity had previously been unutilized since Morgan Stanley left the space on June
1st.
Effective September 4th, we contracted 100% of our light oil capacity at Cape Canaveral, Port Everglades South and Port Manatee to RaceTrac. ― Replaced NGL as the customer. ― Includes butane blending options, following terminal improvements at Tampa (which
had previously been contracted to RaceTrac in September 2013).
Effective June 1st, we contracted our bunker capacity at Fisher Island and Port Everglades North to Chemoil. ― Replaced Morgan Stanley as the customer. ― Continue to market unsubscribed bunker capacity at Port Manatee.
Effective March 1st, we contracted our Razorback System to Magellan. ― Replaced Morgan Stanley as the customer. ― 10-year agreement. ― TLP continues to operate the system. ― Similar revenue stream to the prior Morgan Stanley agreement.
13
Recent Developments (Continued) Bostco Phases I and Il are complete.
In the third quarter we received $2.9 million in distributions for Bostco’s 2nd quarter operations and expect continued increases in distributions in 2015.
