K-Sea Transportation holds its officers, directors, and employees to the highest level of ethics and corporate responsibility, and believes that maintaining the trust and confidence of our unitholders, employees, customers, and others with whom we do business is critical to our success. While we strive to achieve the highest return on capital possible, we will not sacrifice financial integrity to achieve that end. Throughout our operations, we strive for excellence and a level of integrity well above what law and custom would demand.

Our Board of Director’s dedication to its fiduciary responsibility, as outlined in the Governance Guidelines, and our management and employees’ adherence to the highest ethical standards, as outlined in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, are driving forces in K-Sea’s approach to finances and financial reporting, and our relationships with investors and advisors. We invite you to review these and other governance documents throughout this section of our website.
