   Item 1.   Financial Statements.

        The interim financial statements contained herein reflect all
   adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
   statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the
   periods presented.  They have been prepared in accordance with the
   instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and
   footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
   complete financial statements.

        Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
   1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
   for the year ending December 31, 1998. In the opinion of management, the
   information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet is fairly stated
   in all material respects.

        These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with

                                  JUNE 30, 1998

        The accompanying unaudited financial statements include all
   adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which the Company
   considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations
   for the periods shown.  The financial statements have been prepared in
   accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not
   include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
   financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity
   with generally accepted accounting principles.  The results of operations
   for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
   expected for the full year.  For further information, refer to the
   Company's audited financial statements for the three years ended December
   31, 1997 that appear in the Form 10-K.

   2.  PRO FORMA INFORMATION

        Pro Forma Adjustments.  Upon closing of the Company's initial public
   offering, the Company's status as an S Corporation terminated.  The pro
   forma adjustments reflect a provision for income taxes that would have
   been incurred had the Company not been organized under Subchapter S of the
   Internal Revenue Code.  The effective rate differs from the statutory rate
   of 34% due to state income taxes (net of Federal income tax benefits),
   amortization of goodwill and other nondeductible expenses and due to the
   utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards of a corporation
   acquired in 1992.  

        Pro Forma Net Income Per Share.  Pro forma net income per share
   reflects a 15,700-for-1 stock split that became effective with the
   Company's stock offering.

        Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                  and Results of Operations.


   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

   Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
   -----------------------------------------

        The Company had total revenue of $18,408,322 for the three months
   ended June 30, 1998, an increase of $2,237,635 or 13.8% compared to the
   three months ended June 30, 1997.  Core trailer volume to Puerto Rico
   increased 29.2% compared to the year earlier period and total car and
   other vehicle volume was up 21.6% compared to the year earlier period.  As
   a result, core trailer revenue to Puerto Rico increased $1,559,341 or
   19.5% compared to the year earlier period and car and other vehicle
   revenue increased $692,766 or 20.8% compared to the year earlier period.
   Revenue from shipper owned or leased equipment moving to Puerto Rico
   increased $183,380 or 17.0% primarily due to an increase in flatbed
   volume.   While trailer volume from Puerto Rico increased 22.1%, related
   revenue increased only $170,120 or 7.8% compared to the year earlier
   period due to continued rate pressure on the limited volumes moving
   inbound from Puerto Rico.  Non-Puerto Rico revenue of $1,080,454
   represented a decrease of 24.2% from the year earlier period as available
   tractor capacity was utilized more in Puerto Rico traffic lanes.
    
        For the three month period ending June 30, 1998 operating income
   was $410,872, a decrease of $1,384,368 or 77.1% from the $1,795,240
   operating income before a non-recurring charge in the year earlier period. 
   Operating income was lower primarily because, while total revenue was up
   13.8%, the Company incurred additional costs related to the operation of
   54% more vessel capacity during most of the period.  In addition, the
   continuing competitive pressures on overall freight rates mitigated the
   favorable effect that would have otherwise resulted from the 32.2% and
   22.1% increases in total trailer volume to and from Puerto Rico.  As a
   result, The Company's operating ratio was 97.8% during the second quarter
   of 1998 compared to the 88.9% operating ratio during the year earlier
   period, exclusive of the non-recurring charge.   Net interest expense of
   $203,100 was down $56,465 or 21.8% compared to the year earlier period as a
   result of an increase in earnings from temporary investments and the
   capitalization of interest related to the construction of five new
   vessels.  During the period, the Company also had a gain of $100,455
   related to the sale of older trailer equipment.

        Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30,
   1998 was $308,227, a decrease of $1,229,124 or 80.0% from the year earlier
   period, exclusive of the non-recurring charge.  After income taxes, net
   income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $149,098, or 84.0%
   below pro forma net income of $933,785, for the year earlier period,
   exclusive of the non-recurring charge, during which Trailer Bridge
   operated as an S Corporation.  Net income per share was $.02 for the
   second quarter compared to $.14 for the year earlier period, exclusive of
   the non-recurring charge.
      
        For the three month period ending June 30, 1998 total volume to and
   from Puerto Rico including cars and other vehicles grew 27.1% compared to
   the year earlier period, roughly one-half the 54% increase in vessel
   capacity growth.  Total Puerto Rico revenue only increased 17.8% over the
   year earlier period, implying a 7.5% reduction in the overall average
   yield on the Company's Puerto Rico business compared to the same period
   last year due to heightened rate activity in all segments. 

   Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
   ---------------------------------------

        Operating revenue increased $2.1 million or 6.6%, from $32.6 million
   for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $34.8 million for the six months
   ended June 30, 1998. The increase was primarily due to increased trailer
   and new vehicle volume to Puerto Rico partially offset by lower rates. 

        Salaries, wages and benefits increased $859,857 or 12.3%, from $6.9
   million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, excluding a non-recurring
   compensation charge, to $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
   1998. The increase was primarily due to an overall increase in healthcare
   expenses, increased administrative headcount and more company truck
   drivers.  

        Rent and purchased transportation increased $2.7 million or 32.0%,
   from $8.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $11.2 million
   for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase was primarily due to
   the increased tug charter hire required for the two additional vessels and
   to a lesser extent the increase in the number of partner carrier trucks
   employed to service the additional inland transportation requirements.

        Fuel expense decreased $212,465 or 7.2%, from $2.9 million for the
   six months ended June 30, 1997 to $2.7 million for the six months ended
   June 30, 1998. The decrease was directly related to lower fuel prices.
   Overall fuel consumption increased due to the additional tugs. 

        Operating and maintenance expenses increased $1.0 million or 15.6%,
   from $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $7.2 million
   for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase was primarily a
   result of the increased volume, mostly marine terminal related expense
   resulting from the increase to twice weekly Puerto Rico service.

        Taxes and licenses increased $16,155 or 7.0%, from $231,927 for the
   six months ended June 30, 1997 to $248,082 for the six months ended June
   30, 1998. The increase relates to property taxes incurred during 1998 at
   the new facility completed in the third quarter of 1997.
    
        Insurance and claims expense decreased $25,339 or 2.7%, from $934,579
   for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $909,240 for the six months
   ended June 30, 1998. The decrease primarily relates to lower claim volume
   on used vehicles. 

        Communications and utilities expense increased $84,019 or 31.1%, from
   $270,447 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $354,466 for the six
   months ended June 30, 1998. The increase relates to increased voice
   communication volume associated with increased headcount in addition to
   increased utilities associated with operating the new facility.

        Depreciation and amortization expense increased $276,842 or 20.5%,
   from $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.6 million
   for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase relates to the two
   new vessels and related revenue equipment, primarily containers and
   chassis. 

        Other operating expenses increased $299,003 or 17.9%, from $1.7
   million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $2.0 million for the six
   months ended June 30, 1998. The increase relates to increased sales
   expenses and professional fees. The increase in professional fees is
   primarily related to Year 2000 compliance. 

        Interest expense net of interest income decreased $134,284 or 25.7%,
   from $522,981 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $388,697 for the
   six months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease was a result of an increase
   in earnings from temporary investments and the capitalization of interest
   related to the construction of five new vessels.  

        Trailer Bridge also had a gain of $128,965 related to the sale of
   older trailer equipment for the six months ended June 30, 1998. 

   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Company's financial condition remained strong. At June 30, 1998,
   available cash amounted to $4.2 million, working capital was $4.7 million
   and stockholders equity was equal to $34.1 million.  

        Net cash provided by operating activities was $345,818 for the first
   six months of 1998, compared with $5.1 million in 1997. 

        Net cash used in investing activities was $10.4 million in 1998 and
   $13.4 million in 1997. The investment spending was primarily for the two
   new vessels and the related revenue equipment, primarily 53' containers 
   and chassis. 

        The vessels were funded primarily from Title XI financing and the
   revenue equipment was funded primarily from the remaining proceeds of the
   Company's IPO in 1997. On July 21, 1998, BankBoston approved a $25 million
   revolving credit/term loan facility that can be utilized for general
   corporate purposes. 

        Management believes that cash flow from operations combined with the
   Company's borrowing capacity under it's revolving credit/term loan
   facility will be adequate to meet the Company's debt service requirements,
   fund continued growth, and meet working capital needs.

   YEAR 2000 

        The Company developed a plan during 1997 to deal with the Year 2000
   problem. The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being
   written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.
   The Company's plan provides for the conversion efforts to be completed by
   the end of 1998. The total cost of the project is currently estimated to
   be $200,000 and is being funded through operating cash flows. The Company
   is expensing all costs associated with these systems changes as the costs
   are incurred. As of June 30, 1998, approximately $45,000 had been expensed
   since the project was initiated.

   looking or predictions concerning future operations. Such statements are
