EX-99.1: WRITTEN AGREEMENT


Table of Contents

     This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D is filed by Louis Dreyfus S.A.S., a corporation organized under the laws of France (“LDSAS”), Louis Dreyfus Holding Company Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LDHC”), and Louis Dreyfus Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“LDC” and together with LDSAS and LDHC, the “Louis Dreyfus Group”) relating to the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of TransMontaigne Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), amends and terminates the Schedule 13D filed November 6, 1998, and should be read in conjunction with the Schedule 13D filed November 6, 1998, as amended by Amendment No. 5, filed on April 12, 2005, and other previously filed Amendments and Restatements (as so amended and restated, the “Schedule 13D”).
     Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Schedule 13D.
Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction
     Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
     LDC and LDHC acquired an aggregate 4,500,000 shares of the Common Stock as partial consideration of LDC’s sale of the LDEC Shares to the Issuer. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer agreed, for so long as LDC and its affiliates maintain an equity ownership interest in the Issuer equal to or greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, to use its reasonable best efforts to nominate to the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board of Directors”) a person designated by LDC who is reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors. Peter B. Griffin, President of LDC, who was so designated by LDC and appointed to the Board of Directors, resigned from the Board of Directors effective January 28, 2004 and LDC has not requested that a person designated by LDC be nominated to the Board of Directors as his successor.
     In Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D, the Louis Dreyfus Group stated that it was in the process of reexamining its investment in the Issuer, and depending on market considerations and other factors, might sell any or all of its shares of Common Stock, if appropriate opportunities to do so are available, on such terms and at such time as it considers advisable.
     As stated in Amendments No. 4 and 5, LDC, from March 30, 2005 through April 7, 2005, sold an aggregate of 1,599,600 shares of Common Stock. As a result, LDC no longer maintained an equity ownership interest in the Issuer equal to or greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and no longer had the right to cause the Issuer to use its reasonable best efforts to nominate to the Board of Directors a person designated by LDC who was reasonably acceptable to the Board of Directors. In addition, during this period LDC had disposed of more than 1% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock
     Further to the foregoing, LDC, from July 11, 2005 through July 22, 2005, sold an aggregate of 648,600 shares of Common Stock. As a result, LDC has, since the filing of Amendment No. 5, disposed of more than 1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. In addition, this Amendment No. 6 terminates the filing obligations of the Louis Dreyfus Group because it is no longer the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Table of Contents

     The statement in Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D referred to above remains true as to the remaining shares of the Common Stock held by the Louis Dreyfus Group.
     Subject to the foregoing, none of LDSAS, LDHC, or LDC has any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in:
     (a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer;
     (b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
     (c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries;
     (d) Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;
     (e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;
     (f) Any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure;
     (g) Changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;
     (h) Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;
     (i) A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or
     (j) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer
     The first paragraph of Paragraph (a) of Item 5 is hereby amended and restated, in part, as follows:
     (a) As of the date hereof and subject to the arrangements described in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D, LDC is the direct beneficial owner of 2,102,880 shares of the Common Stock, representing approximately 4.8% of the 43,459,487 issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock as of May 2, 2005, as reported by Issuer. LDHC is the indirect beneficial owner of such 2,102,880 shares, representing approximately 4.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock. LDSAS is the indirect beneficial owner of the 2,102,880 shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by LDHC, representing approximately 4.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock.

     The foregoing transactions are the only transactions conducted since the transactions listed in Schedule 13D Amendment No. 5 filed April 12, 2005.
     Paragraph (e) of Item 5 is amended and restated as follows:
     (e) As of July 22, 2005, the Louis Dreyfus Group ceased to own more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock and accordingly, its obligation to file amendments to Schedule 13D has terminated.
Item 7.   Material to be Filed as Exhibits
     1. Written Agreement of LDSAS, LDHC and LDC relating to the filing of this Amendment as required by Rule 13d-l(k).
