                     Report of Independent Accountants


June 22, 1994


To the Savings Plan Committee and Participants
of the CONSTAR International
Salaried Employees' Savings Incentive Plan


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan 
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan 
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available 
for plan benefits of CONSTAR International Salaried Employees' Savings
Incentive Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in
its net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1993
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's administrator; our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on 
our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with 
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform 
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test 
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates 
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed 
above.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial 
statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included in Schedules
I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required 
part of the basic financial statements but is additional information required 
by ERISA.  Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures 
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is 
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial 
statements taken as a whole.

                          CONSTAR International
               Salaried Employees' Savings Incentive Plan

                      Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1 - Summary of Significant
 Accounting Policies:

     Plan Description

The CONSTAR International Salaried Employees' Savings Incentive Plan (the
"Plan") became effective September 1, 1983.  The purpose of the Plan is to
encourage voluntary savings and to assist employees in meeting their retirement
income objectives.  All salaried employees of CONSTAR International (the
"Employer") with at least one year of service, as defined, are eligible to
participate in the Plan.  All of the outstanding common stock of CONSTAR
International, Inc. was acquired by Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. during 1992.

The Plan is administered by the CONSTAR International Savings Plan Committee 
(the "Committee").  The Committee has appointed American National Bank and 
Trust Company to serve as the trustee of the Plan.

     Basis of Accounting

The Plan maintains its financial records and prepares its financial statements 
using the accrual basis of accounting.  Investments in securities listed on a 
national exchange are valued on the basis of year end closing prices.  Other
investments not having an established market are valued at fair value as 
determined by the trustee.

All expenses for the administration of the Plan, except for brokerage
commissions and related expenses on security transactions, are paid by the
Employer.

Note 2 - Contributions and Withdrawals:

Participants may make a basic contribution of 2% to 6% of their compensation 
through payroll deductions.  Participants may also make a supplemental 
contribution of 1% to 11% of their compensation in addition to the full 6%
basic contribution, subject to certain limitations.  The aggregate of these 
contributions may not exceed 17% of the participant's compensation, subject to 
certain limitations.

The Employer makes a matching contribution equal to one-half of the first 6% of 
aggregate employee basic and added value contributions. 
Participants are immediately fully vested in allocations of Employer 
contributions. 

The basic, supplemental, profitability and the portion of the participant's 
added value contributions matched by the Employer can only be withdrawn from
the participant's account upon retirement, death, disability, separation of 
employment, attainment of age 59 1/2 or through a loan approved by the
Committee.  However, the Plan allows for financial hardship withdrawals,
subject to certain limitations.  Payment of any income tax liabilities generated
by withdrawals from the Plan are the responsibility of the employee.

Note 3 - Tax Status of the Plan:

The trust established under the Plan is qualified under the Internal Revenue 
Code as exempt from federal income taxes.  Although the Plan has received a 
favorable determination letter from the IRS, it has not yet been updated for 
plan amendments necessary to meet certain requirements of the Tax Reform Act of 
1986.  However, the plan sponsor is of the opinion that the Plan meets the IRS 
requirements and therefore the trust continues to be tax exempt.

Note 4 - Investment Programs:

The Plan currently comprises four investment funds.  Prior to May 1, 1993, the 
Plan comprised five investment funds.

The Stock Fund was invested in the common stock of CONSTAR International, Inc. 
until Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc., via tender offer, acquired all of the 
CONSTAR International, Inc. common stock.  The proceeds from the sale
of the common stock were invested in the Sun Trust Retirement Reserve Fund where
they remained at the end of 1992.  The Stock Fund began investing in the common
stock of Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. in 1993.

The Fixed Income Fund is presently investing in guaranteed investment contracts
with New England Mutual Life Insurance Company.  The annual yields on these
funds were 6.6% in 1993 and 8.0% in 1992.

The Windsor Fund was an equity fund holding shares of Windsor.  Windsor is a 
no-load fund which invests primarily in common stocks. During 1993, a decision 
was made to liquidate this fund and transfer its assets among the other funds, 
primarily the Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. stock fund.  Since the Windsor 
Fund no longer has any assets, nor is it an investment option to participants
of the Plan, it has been removed from the Statement of Net Assets Available for 
plan Benefits.  The current year's activity is however, presented in the 
Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits for the year 
ended December 31, 1993.

The Diversified Equity Fund includes shares of the AIM Weingarten Fund, shares 
of the Investment Company of America as well as shares of Windsor.  All three 
funds are equity funds.

The Government Securities Fund holds shares in the Vanguard Fixed Income 
Securities Fund, which comprises government bonds with one to four year 
maturities.

Additionally, the Plan includes the PASOP Fund, which, until the aforementioned 
acquisition by Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc., invested in the common stock of 
CONSTAR International, Inc..  The fund currently has 99% of its assets invested 
in common stock of Crown Cork & Seal Co., Inc.  The Tax Reform Act of 1986 
eliminated the payroll tax credit which had been the source of funding for the 
PASOP fund.  At that time, the Employer discontinued all contributions to the 
PASOP Fund.

A participant's contribution to the Plan may be invested solely in any one of 
the above funds, other than the PASOP Fund, or may be divided among any of the 
available funds in 5% increments.  The investment election may be changed by 
participants at the beginning of a Plan quarter.

Contributions to and cash dividends or other earnings from any fund may be 
temporarily invested at money market rates prior to the purchase of investment 
securities.  The investments held by the funds may be changed from time to time 
as determined by the Plan Committee as is consistent with the respective fund's 
objectives.

Note 5 - Loans to Participants:

At December 31, 1993 and 1992, receivables from employees consisted primarily 
of loans from the Fixed Income Fund to participants in accordance with the
terms set forth in the Plan agreement.  Interest rates on these loans at 
December 31, 1993 were 7.0% throughout the year, and for 1992, rates ranged
from 7.0% to 11.5%.
