DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TransMontaigne Partners, a leading provider of terminaling, storage, transportation and related services to the energy industry, today announced that Randal “Randy” Maffett has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective October 1, 2023.

“TransMontaigne’s strategic asset footprint will enable the Company to continue to grow with its customers, including to support energy transition related projects. Mr. Maffett’s longstanding track record, and alignment with our long-term objectives, makes him an ideal choice to lead this transformation,” said Angelo Acconcia, a Board member and a partner at ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC, which invested in the business in 2016. “We are grateful for Fred’s significant contributions to TransMontaigne over the years. Under his leadership, the Company has experienced significant growth while maintaining exemplary health and safety credentials and providing superb reliability to customers.”

“I am honored by the opportunity to serve as TransMontaigne’s next CEO. The Company’s 54 state-of-the-art terminals are ideally situated to meet our customers’ evolving demand requirements. As the use of renewable fuels becomes more common, our terminals are primed to take on the logistical needs of bulk liquid suppliers across the United States,” said Mr. Maffett. “I look forward to working with the leadership team to continue to create superior value for all our stakeholders and employees.”
