Global Partners LP (NYSE: GLP) said Jan. 20 that it acquired a terminal in Boston Harbor that can store 2.1 million barrels of refined petroleum products from privately held affiliate Global Petroleum Corp. for about $24 million.

The transaction will be funded through revolving credit facility capacity, Global Partners said.

The terminal enables us to continue to serve our marketing and throughput volumes in the region. We expect this transaction to be accretive in the first full year of operations.”
