</TABLE>

Note 5 - Net Loss per Common Share

Net loss per common share is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Shares
issuable upon the exercise of stock options have not been included in the
computation because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 6 - Credit Lines

OMI has available four lines of credit with banks at variable rates based on
LIBOR aggregating a total of $67,000,000; $58,000,000 was unused at
September 30, 1995.  During October 1995, OMI drew down an additional
$8,000,000 on one of its lines of credit.

Note 7 - Commitments

OMI and a joint venture partner are constructing a vessel in the Peoples
Republic of China for a cost of approximately $56,000,000.  The vessel is
scheduled to be delivered in 1996.  OMI guarantees 49 percent, through a
joint venture subsidiary, of the shipbuilding contract as a backup guarantor
to the joint venture partner.

Note 8 - Guaranteed Debt

OMI acts as a guarantor for a portion of the debt incurred by joint ventures
with affiliates of two of its joint venture partners.  Such debt was
approximately $90,079,000 at September 30, 1995, with OMI's share of such
guarantees being approximately $44,313,000.  OMI also is a guarantor for one
of its joint venture's revolving line of credit of $4,000,000, with a
guarantee to OMI from its joint venture partner of $2,000,000.

The Company and its joint venture partners have committed to fund any
working capital deficiencies which may be incurred by their joint venture
investments.  At September 30, 1995, no such deficiencies have occurred
which have required funding.

Note 9 - Subsequent Event

On October 26, 1995, OMI entered into an agreement with Hvide Marine
Incorporated ("Hvide") for the sale of two U.S. flag chemical carriers for
$37,350,000.  Hvide will also acquire a vessel which is currently under a
long-term operating lease to OMI. OMI will make a payment to the lessor of
the vessel of $25,000,000 and be released from the lease agreement.  The
Company anticipates a loss on the net transaction of approximately
$7,000,000.  The transaction is contingent upon  Hvide successfully
completing its initial public offering of common stock.  In the event Hvide
does not acquire the vessels, OMI will acquire the leased  vessel for
approximately $55,000,000.

Item. 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 versus
September 30, 1994

OMI Corp. ("OMI" or the  "Company") is a diversified major bulk shipping
company operating in both the U.S. flag  and international markets.  OMI's
operating fleet currently totals 42 vessels including ten joint venture
vessels, one leased and five chartered-in vessels.  A Suezmax tanker is
currently under construction and scheduled for delivery in 1996 to a 49
percent owned joint venture.  The Company  also is involved in other marine
related activities, including lightering of crude carriers and workboat
supply services in the Gulf of Mexico and ship management for the U.S.
Government.

Results of operations of OMI  include operating activities of the Company's
domestic and foreign vessels.  The discussion that follows explains the
Company's operating results in terms of net voyage revenue, which is voyage
revenue less vessel and voyage expenses, because fluctuations in voyage
revenues and expenses occur based on the nature of a charter.  The Company's
vessels  currently operate, or have operated in prior years, on time
charters, short-term time charters ("STC"), bareboat or  voyage ("spot")
charters.   Each type of charter denotes a method by which revenue and
expenses are recorded.  Under a time charter, revenue is measured based on a
daily or monthly rate and the charterer assumes certain operating expenses,
such as bunkers and port charges.  Bareboat charters are similar to time
charters but the charterer assumes all operating expenses.  The revenue rate
is likely to be lower than a time charter since the costs are covered by the
charterer.  Under a voyage charter, revenue is calculated based on the
amount of cargo carried, most expenses are for the ship owner's  account and
the length of the charter is one voyage.  Revenue may be higher in the spot
market as the owner is responsible for most of the costs of the voyage.

Net voyage revenues of $21,953,000  for the nine months ended September 30,
1995, decreased $15,579,000 or 42 percent, as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1994.  The decrease was primarily attributable to the
U.S. flag fleet, which accounted for $10,928,000 of the decline.   In
comparison to the first nine months of 1994, decreases in 1995 domestic
operations primarily resulted from the following: (1)    three vessels,
which had contributed close to four million dollars in 1994 net voyage
revenue were sold July 21, 1994,  (2) four vessels were drydocked in the
first nine months of 1995 resulting in an aggregate of 150 offhire days and
increases in drydock expense (3)  three vessels were adversely affected by
the decline in the PL480 program under which the  U.S. Government sells or
donates surplus grain for export to developing countries,  (4)   another
vessel, the OMI Columbia, earned lower rates in 1995 and underwent extensive
repairs and upgrades and  (5)  OMI's 80 percent owned subsidiary, OMI
Petrolink Corporation, generated less revenue due to depressed rates for
lightering operations in the Gulf of Mexico.

Seven domestic vessels share four Operating Differential Subsidy ("ODS")
contracts, which are contracts issued by the Marine Subsidy Board of the U.
S. Department of Transportation to provide subsidy for a portion of the
difference in the costs of operating a U.S. Flag vessel versus a foreign
vessel in foreign trades.  Effective July 1, 1995, tanker and bulker subsidy



<PAGE>

 rates received by the Company increased from three to twelve percent per
vessel over 1994 rates.  In 1994, four product carriers operated in the spot
market  and received ODS.  Two of these vessels are still receiving ODS in
1995 with slightly better earnings  due to improved  trading patterns. The
other two product carriers began time charters in April 1995 to the Military
Sealift Command ("MSC") and were not eligible for subsidy after that date.
Prior to the commencement of the charters with MSC, these vessels were
offhire an aggregate of 107 days while in drydock undergoing upgrades.  New
charters with MSC replaced expiring ones in October 1995 at an eight percent
increase over the previous rate for a 17 month period with an option to
cancel one charter in six months.  Two other  vessels included in the ODS
pool are dry bulk carriers which were operating under PL480 programs until
1994, when less cargo became available under these programs. The decline in
cargoes available in these programs continues, with no expected increase in
the foreseeable future. In 1995, the bulkers operated in the  foreign spot
market through June and July, and then each began time charters in foreign
markets for approximately  ten and twelve month periods. While the vessels
are operating in foreign markets, they are eligible for subsidy.   The
Platte, a dry bulk carrier not eligible for ODS,  has carried PL480 cargoes
but has experienced a significant number of offhire days in both 1994 and
1995.  This vessel is currently operating on a six month commercial time
charter expiring in November. The Company is supporting legislation  to
reflag this vessel under foreign registry so that it may compete more
effectively in the foreign market.

The OMI Columbia has incurred significant offhire days due to the periodic
lay-up of the vessel  between 1992 and  1995 because of the lack of
business.   Alaskan crude oil production has decreased in the last three
years, and distribution favors shorter hauls.  In 1994, the OMI Columbia
operated on four consecutive voyage charters in the Alaskan North Slope
trade.  Since late 1994, the vessel has been employed sporadically carrying
cargo under PL480 programs at rates significantly lower than rates in crude
oil trade.  During the third quarter of 1995 the OMI Columbia  operated
under a voyage charter carrying crude oil, then subsequently went to the
yard for repair work and drydock  prior to beginning a charter for at least
90 days carrying crude oil.  Legislation to lift the ban on exporting
Alaskan oil was voted on and approved in Congress.  A conference report of a
joint House and Senate committee must still be approved by the Senate and
forwarded to the President for signature.  When this process is completed,
it is expected that  the demand for vessels such as the OMI Columbia will
improve.

On October 26, 1995, OMI entered into an agreement with Hvide Marine
Incorporated ("Hvide") for the sale of two U.S. flag chemical carriers for
$37,350,000.  Hvide will also acquire a vessel which is currently under a
long-term operating lease to OMI. OMI will make a payment to the lessor of
the vessel of $25,000,000 and be released from the lease agreement.  The
Company anticipates a loss on the net transaction of approximately
$7,000,000.  The transaction is contingent upon  Hvide successfully
completing its initial public offering of common stock.  In the event Hvide 
does not acquire the vessels, OMI will acquire the leased  vessel for
approximately $55,000,000.


The net decrease in foreign net voyage revenues of $4,651,000 was primarily
the result of  drydocking seven vessels  during the nine months ended
September 30, 1995  for an aggregate of 218 days compared to four vessels
drydocked in the same period  in 1994 for an aggregate of 116 days.


                                          12



<PAGE>

Another factor contributing to the decrease in revenues was that three
vessels, currently operating in the spot market, were operating on bareboat
and time charters at slightly better rates in 1994.  OMI operates 17  wholly
owned vessels in its foreign fleet that comprises  a VLCC, a Liquid
Petroleum Gas Carrier,  and Suezmax and Product Tankers.  In 1995, the spot
markets for all these vessels have shown significant improvements in
comparison to 1994; however, time charter rates in 1994 were still better in
comparison. The improvements in the market are a result of  increased demand
in the Far East specifically, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China, due to the
improving economies of these countries.   Although rates  improved
substantially in the third quarter, especially in the crude market,  costs
to operate and maintain  some of the Company's  older  vessels  have also
increased which has decreased  net voyage revenue.

In September 1995,  OMI exchanged  a crude oil carrier and a product carrier
built 1982 and 1987, respectively,  for two  30,000 dwt. product carriers
built 1990 and 1991  in accordance with  an agreement entered  into on June
27, 1995 with Dampskibsselskabet Torm  A/S and partners to acquire three
30,000 dwt. product tankers.  One vessel is being acquired for cash  in the
amount of $18,000,000 and the other two in a like-kind exchange. As of
September 30, 1995, the two vessels have been exchanged.  The third vessel
is to be delivered by  November 30, 1995.  The transaction is in line with
OMI's marketing strategy to expand its position in small product carriers,
while turning over its older vessels for a younger fleet. 

Results of operations for the three months ended  September 30, 1995 versus
September 30, 1994

Net voyage revenue decreased $2,284,000 or 23 percent, for the three months
ended September 30, 1995, as compared to the same period in 1994.  Net
decreases in foreign net voyage revenues of  $3,777,000  were offset in part
by a net increase in domestic  operations of $1,493,000.  The primary
reasons for the net decrease in the third quarter of 1995 were from the
decline in net voyage revenues of $1,186,000 resulting from  the sale of a
foreign vessel in June 1995, additional expenses, such as stores, spares and
other expenses, to maintain vessels to adhere to OMI's corporate policy of
safety and efficiency and a decrease in  net voyage revenues received for
lightering operations in the Gulf of Mexico.   Domestic net voyage revenues
increased  primarily  due to better spot charter rates and trading
strategies for two product carriers.  In addition, in the third quarter in
1994, one of these vessels incurred 35 days in offhire due to drydocking and
the other was idle for 29 days resulting in a decline in revenue.
    
Other Income

Other income consists primarily of management fees and dividend income on
investments.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, other income
increased $280,000 or seven percent as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1994.  The increase in 1995 was primarily from fees received
from the management of vessels for the U.S. government, fees received from
joint ventures for  insurance purposes, offset by less dividends received in
1995 then in 1994 on investments and  the absence of  management fees  from
a company  OMI provided services for until December 31, 1994.

Other income increased $138,000 or ten percent in  the third quarter of 1995
primarily because of the management fees mentioned above and income received
from a prior bankruptcy claim.

Other Operating Expenses

The Company's operating expenses, other than vessel and voyage expenses,
consist of depreciation and amortization, operating lease expense and
general and administrative expenses.  For the nine months ended September
30, 1995, these expenses decreased  an aggregate of  $5,684,000 or 12
percent.  The  primarily  reason  for the decrease  was a reduction in
depreciation expense of $2,724,000, resulting principally from the sale of
three domestic vessels during the third quarter of  1994.  Operating lease
expense is less in 1995 compared to the first nine months of 1994, because
of reduced lease expense for a vessel lease for which an impairment loss was
recorded in December 1994.  Decreases in  general and administrative
expenses  of $1,861,000 or 15 percent  include a decline in  employee
benefits compared to the nine months ended 1994  primarily due to 1994
adjustments to ESOP expense,  decreases in  professional fees and reductions
in various expenses compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994.




Other operating expenses decreased $1,478,0000 or 10 percent  for the three
months ended September 30, 1995, compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1994.   See the previous paragraph for explanations  for
decreases in depreciation  expense,  operating lease expense and  general
and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 1995.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) consists of gain on disposal of assets-net, interest
expense-net, minority interest in (income) loss of subsidiary and other-net.

<PAGE>

The net decrease of $32,000  in net other expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, compared  to the same period in 1994 was primarily due
to the decrease in interest expense of $1,963,000 in connection with the
repayment of outstanding debt including repurchasing  $7,900,000 of 10.25
percent Senior Notes,  increase in Other-net of $1,436,000 due to net gain
on repurchase of Senior Notes in 1995 compared to the net gain  on Senior
Notes in 1994 offset by losses incurred on early termination of OMI Columbia
debt.  These increases in net other expense were offset by decreases in gain
on disposal of assets-net due primarily to the loss on the sale of a foreign
vessel of $1,423,000 in June 1995, a smaller gain on the  sale of Noble
Drilling Corporation stock in 1995 than the 1994 gain of $4,992,000 and the
gain on sale aggregating $7,178,000 for three domestic vessels during July
1994.

Net other expense increased $4,983,000  in the third quarter 1995 compared
to the third quarter 1994  primarily  due to the gain on the sale of three
vessels in  July 1994 offset in 1995 by a gain on the sale of  SEACOR
Holdings Inc. stock, a net gain on the repurchase of Senior Notes and a
decrease in interest expense.

Benefit for Income Taxes

The benefit for income taxes of $8,296,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 varied from statutory rates primarily because deferred
taxes are not recorded for equity in operations of joint ventures, net of
dividends declared,  other than Amazon Transport, Inc. and White Sea
Holdings Ltd., as management considers such earnings to be permanently
invested.

The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 1995,
was $3,101,000.

Equity in Operations of Joint ventures

Equity in operations of joint ventures of $5,493,000 increased $2,737,000 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1995, from $2,756,000 in the first nine

                                       14

months in 1994.  Increases were  primarily attributable to four joint
ventures.  One 50 percent owned joint venture that operates as technical
manager for vessels recorded significant profits. A 49.9 percent owned joint
venture sold a vessel in the first quarter of 1995 for a gain and  earnings
from its other vessel that was delivered in 1994 increased in 1995.  Two
other joint ventures contributed to an increase in equity in 1995 due to
losses in operations in the first nine months of 1994.  One vessel  received
higher rates due to an improved market in 1995, while in 1994 it was in
drydock 28 days and incurred losses in the spot market.  The other joint
venture  incurred operating losses that resulted in wrapping-up its business
by the end of 1994.  Increases were offset in part by decreases in two 49
percent owned joint ventures, one that operated one of its vessels on a time
charter in 1994 which was less profitable in the spot market in 1995 and was
also offhire 34 days due to  drydocking and the vessel in the other joint
venture earned less revenue and incurred higher technical expenses.

Equity in operations of joint ventures decreased $1,103,000 or 55 percent in
the third quarter of 1995 compared to the same  period in 1994.  Decreases
were primarily due to the  two 49 percent owned joint ventures mentioned
above,  in addition to a 49.9 percent owned joint venture which operated two
vessels during the third quarter 1994 and sold one in the second quarter
1995, reducing operating profits in the third quarter 1995.  Decreases in
equity in operations of joint ventures were offset in part by increases
relating to a  joint venture that incurred losses in 1994 and wrapped-up its
operations in December 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents of $28,943,000 decreased $2,854,000 or nine
percent from the balance of $31,797,000 at December 31, 1994.  The Company's
working capital of $2,263,000 at September 30, 1995, decreased $20,898,000
or 90 percent from $23,161,000 at December 31, 1994.    For the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, net cash provided by operating activities was
$2,154,000 which was an increase of $2,641,000 from net cash used by
operating activities of $487,000 for the nine  months ended September 30,
1994.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, sources of liquidity, other
than from operating activities were primarily from proceeds of $14,867,000
received from the sale of investments, proceeds of $8,763,000 from the sale
of a vessel, proceeds of $9,000,000 received from a line of credit,
$5,200,000 received in qualified withdrawals from the CCF fund and
$1,260,000 from the issuance of common stock by exercising of stock options.

The primary uses of cash other than for operating activities during the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, were for payments of  $23,870,000 of
long-term debt,  ( which includes $6,775,000 for repurchases of Senior
Notes)  purchase of a vessel  for $9,623,000 and other capital expenditures
for improvements on vessels and costs relating to the exchange of  OMI/Torm
vessels of $10,181,000.

The Company has four bank lines of credit aggregating $67,000,000  at
September 30, 1995, of which $58,000,000 was unused.  During October 1995,
OMI drew down an additional $8,000,000 on one of its lines of credit. OMI
believes it is in the position to meet its current and future obligations.
The Company will continue to access its lines of credit to meet operational
needs if necessary.

COMMITMENTS
                                        15



<PAGE>

OMI and a joint venture partner have committed to construct a vessel being
built in the Peoples Republic of China for a cost of approximately
$56,000,000.  The vessel is scheduled to be delivered in 1996.  OMI
guarantees 49 percent through a joint venture partner.  OMI acts as a
co-guarantor for a portion of the debt incurred by joint ventures with
affiliates of two of its joint venture partners.  The portion of debt
guaranteed by the partners was approximately $90,079,000 at September 30,
1995, with OMI's share of such guarantees being approximately $44,313,000.
OMI also is guarantor for one of its joint venture's revolving line of
credit of up to $4,000,000 at September 30, 1995, with a guarantee to OMI
from its joint venture partner of 50 percent of the amount guaranteed by
OMI.

The Company and its joint venture partners have committed to fund any
working capital deficiencies that may be incurred by their joint venture
investments.  At  September 30, 1995, no such deficiencies have occurred
which have required funding.
