By Patrick Danner, The Miami Herald Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News

Jan. 15--Denver-based TransMontaigne, a major natural-gas pipeline owner, has agreed to acquire El Paso Corp.'s Florida petroleum terminals and tug-and-barge operations in a deal valued at $155 million.

The transaction will nearly quadruple TransMontaigne's presence at Port Everglades, where its storage capacity now is about 422,000 barrels, according to company Chief Executive Donald H. Anderson.

It will also give TransMontaigne a foothold at Fisher Island, where El Paso can store 660,000 barrels. A six-tug operation at Fisher Island is included in the deal.
