Since January 2008, Mr. Dugan, age 59, has served as the Senior Vice President, Engineering and Operations for the General Partner and the subsidiaries of the Partnership. Mr. Dugan joined TransMontaigne Inc. as Engineering Manager in 1998. He has over 16 years of experience in senior leadership positions overseeing domestic and international petroleum marine terminals, pipelines and engineering divisions. Mr. Dugan began his career as a Project Engineer for Gulf Interstate Energy in 1983 and in 1993 he joined Louis Dreyfus Energy as a Project Engineer.
