The notes were issued to term out short-term borrowings associated with the February 2008 acquisitions of marine transportation businesses. In addition, Standard&amp;Poor's affirmed the 'BBB-' corporate credit rating on the pipeline and midstream energy company. The outlook is stable. The company had about $2.2 billion of total debt outstanding as of March 2008. The rating on TEPPCO reflects its satisfactory business risk profile and its aggressive financial profile. Key credit factors include the company's relatively stable cash flows, a diverse customer mix, and limited commodity risk.

These are offset by a focused midstream growth strategy, weak distribution coverage, and slightly high debt leverage metrics. The rating on TEPPCO is not consolidated with those of its ultimate parent EPCO Holdings Inc. (not rated) because of a few legal and qualitative factors that reduce the likelihood that the master limited partnership (MLP) would be directly affected or implicated in a general partner insolvency.

TEPPCO's existing refined products and crude oil transportation and storage assets complement the Cenac businesses, while the transition operating services agreement will provide stability as the company enters a new, but related, business line.
