Harwood Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating potential claims against K-Sea Transportation Partners L.P. ("K-Sea" or the "Company") (NYSE: KSP) concerning the Company’s agreement to be acquired by Kirby Corporation (“Kirby”) in a transaction valued at approximately $335 million. The transaction is expected to close in the second or third quarter of this year.

On March 13, 2011, K-Sea announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with Kirby. Under the terms of the deal, K-Sea’s unitholders will have the option to receive $8.15 per partnership unit in cash or $4.075 in cash and 0.0734 of a share of Kirby common stock. Our investigation concerns whether there was a fair process to obtain fair consideration for the unitholders of K-Sea. KA First Reserve LLC and certain affiliates of Jeffries Capital Partners have already entered into support agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their K-Sea units in favor of the merger. These entities currently hold all of K-Sea’s outstanding preferred units and approximately 59.9% of its outstanding common units.

If you own common units of K-Sea and would like to learn more about these claims or if you wish to discuss this matter and have any questions or information concerning this announcement, please contact Robert I. Harwood, Esq. at rharwood@hfesq.com or Daniella Quitt, Esq. at dquitt@hfesq.com. You may also call them at (877) 935-7400.
