Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

General - As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
accompanying financial statements and footnotes, which have been
rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, have been condensed and
therefore do not contain all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles.  Reference should be made to the
Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December
31, 1994.

The statements as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 1995
and for the three month period ended March 31, 1994 are unaudited.  In
the opinion of the Company all adjustments (which were of a normal
recurring nature) have been made to present fairly the results for
such unaudited interim periods.

The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1995
are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

The Company's equity in the results of CCLI for each of the periods is
before interest expense of approximately $3,900,000 (three months
ended March 31, 1995) and $2,900,000 (three months ended March 31,
1994), estimated to have been incurred by the Company in connection
with the funding of its investment in CCLI. These amounts were
calculated based on the Company's long-term interest rates during the
respective periods.

As of May 10, 1995, CCLI has commitments (which are nonrecourse to OSG)
with an approximate aggregate unpaid cost of $930,000,000 for the
construction of three cruise ships, one scheduled for delivery in late
1995, one in late 1996 and the third in late 1997. Unpaid costs are
net of $99,000,000 of progress payments (all paid prior to April 1,
1995). Long-term financing arrangements exist for substantially all of
the unpaid cost of these ships. Approximately 57% of the unpaid cost
is denominated in German marks, substantially all of which is covered
by forward contracts or option contracts; this includes approximately
17% of the unpaid cost hedged by currency option contracts that
terminate in the event that the exchange rate of the German mark to
the dollar falls below certain levels.

As of May 10, 1995, certain 50%-owned companies have commitments (which are
nonrecourse to OSG) with an aggregate unpaid cost of $108,000,000 for
the construction of two foreign flag VLCCs (very large crude carriers)
scheduled for delivery in late 1996 and early 1997. Unpaid costs are
net of $72,000,000 of progress payments and prepayments (including
$31,000,000 paid subsequent to April 1, 1995) and of discounts
resulting from such prepayments. The joint venture companies expect to
pay the unpaid costs from their available cash resources and to utilize
existing long-term shipyard financing arrangements as needed. Upon
delivery, these vessels will commence eight-year charters to the joint
venture partner.
</TABLE>

Note D - Agency Fees and Brokerage Commissions:

All subsidiaries with vessels and certain joint ventures are parties to
agreements with Maritime Overseas Corporation ("Maritime") that
provide, among other matters, for Maritime and subsidiaries to render
services related to the chartering and operation of the vessels and
certain general and administrative services for which Maritime and
subsidiaries receive specified compensation.  Vessel and voyage
expenses include $1,446,000 (three months ended March 31, 1995), and
$1,491,000 (three months ended March 31, 1994), of brokerage
commissions to Maritime.  Maritime is owned by a director of the
Company; directors or officers of the Company constitute all four of
the directors and the majority of the principal officers of Maritime.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

Note E - Taxes:

Effective from January 1, 1987, earnings of the foreign shipping companies,
other than CCLI, are subject to U.S. income taxation currently; post-
1986 taxable income may be distributed to the U.S. parent without
further tax.  Prior thereto, tax on such earnings was deferred as long
as the earnings were reinvested in foreign shipping operations.
Foreign income, substantially all of which was earned by companies
which are not subject to income taxes in their country of
incorporation, aggregated $9,104,000 (three months ended March 31,
1995) and $7,340,000 (three months ended March 31, 1994) before any
U.S. income tax effect.  No provision for U.S. income taxes on the
undistributed income of the foreign shipping companies accumulated
through December 31, 1986 was required, since such undistributed
earnings have been reinvested or are intended to be reinvested in
foreign shipping operations so that the qualified investment therein is
not expected to be reduced below the corresponding amount at December
31, 1986. Further, no provision for U.S. income taxes on the Company's
share of the undistributed earnings of CCLI was required, since it is
intended that such undistributed earnings will be indefinitely
reinvested.

Federal income taxes paid (which related to prior periods in each case)
amounted to $600,000 and $4,200,000 in the three months ended March 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

Note F - Long-term Debt:

Agreements relating to long-term debt provide for prepayment privileges (in
certain instances with penalties), limitations on the amount of secured
debt and total borrowings, and acceleration of payment under certain
circumstances, including if any of the minimum consolidated financial
covenants contained in certain of such agreements are not met. The
amount that the Company can use for Restricted Payments, as defined,
including dividends and purchases of its capital stock, is limited as
of March 31, 1995 to $68,700,000.

As of March 31, 1995, the Company is a party to fixed to floating interest
rate swaps (designated as hedges against certain debt) with various
banks covering notional amounts aggregating $685,000,000, pursuant to
which it pays LIBOR and receives fixed rates ranging from 5.3% to 8.1%
calculated on the notional amounts. These agreements contain no
leverage features and have various maturity dates from 1995 to 2008.

Approximately 20% of the net book amount of the Company's vessels,
representing three foreign flag and nine U.S. flag vessels, is pledged
as collateral for certain long-term debt.

Interest paid approximated $13,582,000 (three months ended March 31, 1995)
and $7,510,000 (three months ended March 31, 1994), excluding
capitalized interest.

Note H - Commitments and Other Comments:

1. As of May 10, 1995, the Company has commitments with an aggregate unpaid
cost of approximately $290,400,000 for the construction of six foreign
flag bulk vessels, two of which are scheduled for delivery in 1995, two
in late 1996 and the other two in 1997. Unpaid costs are net of
$159,000,000 of progress payments and prepayments (all paid prior to
April 1, 1995) and of discounts arising from such prepayments. Long-
term shipyard financing arrangements exist for approximately
$76,000,000 of the unpaid cost of certain of the vessels.

2. Net income/(loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during each period, 36,213,000 shares (three
months ended March 31, 1995) and 33,702,000 shares (three months ended
March 31, 1994).

Stock options have not been included in the computation of net income/(loss)
per share since their effect thereon would either be antidilutive or
not material.

3. The Company has hedged its exchange rate risk with respect to contracted
future charter revenues receivable in Japanese yen by entering into
currency swaps with a major financial institution to deliver such
foreign currency at fixed rates that will result in the Company
receiving approximately $142,000,000 for such foreign currency from
April 1, 1995 through 2004.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Operations

Income from Vessel Operations

Revenues and income from vessel operations of the Company are highly
sensitive to patterns of supply and demand for vessels of the types and
sizes owned and operated by the Company and the markets in which those
vessels operate.  Freight rates for major bulk commodities are
determined by market forces including local and worldwide demand for
such commodities, volumes of trade, distances between sources and
destinations of cargoes and amount of available tonnage both at the
time such tonnage is required and over periods of projected
requirements.  Available tonnage is affected, over time, by the amount
of newbuilding deliveries and removal of existing tonnage from service.

Results in particular periods are also affected by such factors as the mix
between voyage and time charters, the timing of the completion of
voyage charters, the time and prevailing rates when charters that are
currently being performed were negotiated, the levels of applicable
rates and the business available as particular vessels come off
existing charters, and the timing of drydocking of vessels.

Rates in the international tanker markets were weak in the first quarter of
1995, although Aframax vessels (80-110,000 dwt) were earning more than
in the first quarter of 1994. Rates did not change appreciably in the
early part of the second quarter. Dry bulk rates rose in the second
half of 1994 and, in the first and early second quarters of 1995, were
nearly double those of the same periods of the prior year. Demand for
U.S. flag tankers decreased in the first quarter of 1995 from the
unsatisfactory 1994 levels. As of May 10, 1995, four of OSG's U.S. flag
tankers were idle.

Income from vessel operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 increased
by approximately $3,100,000 compared to the first quarter of 1994. This
increase was attributable to improved income of approximately
$10,500,000 from foreign flag vessel operations reflecting the positive
effect of four Aframax vessels which entered the operating fleet after
the first quarter of 1994, higher rates obtained in 1995 than in 1994
for a VLCC that commenced a long-term charter toward the end of the
first quarter of 1994 and improved rates earned by certain crude
carriers and petroleum products carriers in the 1995 period compared to
1994. Dry cargo vessels also obtained higher rates in the 1995 quarter
compared to 1994. Income from operations of the U.S. flag fleet
declined approximately $7,400,000 in the 1995 first quarter from the
1994 period. Four of the Company's U.S. flag crude carriers were idle
for significant portions of the 1995 first quarter and results from two
U.S. flag dry bulk carriers were less favorable in the 1995 first
quarter than in 1994.

Equity in Results of Celebrity Cruise Lines Inc. ("CCLI")

The Company's share of CCLI's results was a loss of approximately $1,300,000
for the first quarter of 1995 compared with income of approximately
$1,700,000 for the 1994 period. This decline reflects weaker demand in
the premium segment of the North American cruise market.

Other Income/(Expense) - Net

The details of other income/(expense) are shown in Note G. Interest and
dividends increased in the 1995 quarter as compared to 1994 because of
higher rates of return on interest-bearing deposits and investments and
increased amounts utilized for such deposits and investments. Gain on
sale of securities approximated $100,000 in the first quarter of 1995
compared to approximately $2,400,000 in the corresponding 1994 period.
In the first quarter of 1994, disposal of vessels resulted in a gain of
approximately $2,500,000 (there were no sales of vessels in the 1995
period). Other income/(expense) also reflects the results of foreign
currency transactions in both periods and a loss of approximately
$1,500,000 (included in miscellaneous - net) in the 1995 quarter from
other investments.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased in the first quarter of 1995 from the comparable
period of 1994 as a result of increases in the average amount of debt
outstanding in the 1995 period compared to 1994, including debt
incurred in connection with vessels entering the operating fleet,
increased rates on floating rate debt and decreased interest costs
capitalized in connection with vessel construction. Interest expense
reflects $1,000,000 in the 1995 period and $3,800,000 in the 1994
period, of net benefits from the interest rate swaps referred to below
in Liquidity and Sources of Capital.

Provision for Federal Income Taxes

There was an income tax credit in the first quarter of 1995 of $1,300,000 as
a result of the pretax loss, adjusted to reflect items that are not
subject to tax and the dividends received deduction. The tax provision
in the comparable period of 1994 was based on pretax income, adjusted
for the same items referred to above.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Working capital at March 31, 1995 was approximately $148,000,000. Current
assets are highly liquid, consisting principally of cash, interest-
bearing deposits and receivables. The Company also had investments in
marketable securities carried as noncurrent assets, other than
securities included in restricted funds, with a market value of
approximately $25,000,000 at March 31, 1995.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital (continued)

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of 1995
approximated $20,000,000 (which is not necessarily indicative of the
cash to be provided by operating activities for a full fiscal year).
Current financial resources, together with cash anticipated to be
generated from operations, are expected to be adequate to meet
requirements for short-term funds in the next year. The Company has
used interest rate swaps to effectively convert a portion of its fixed
rate debt to a floating rate basis, reflecting management's interest
rate outlook. As of March 31, 1995, the Company is a party to fixed to
floating interest rate swaps (designated as hedges against certain
debt) with various banks covering notional amounts aggregating
$685,000,000, pursuant to which it pays LIBOR and receives fixed rates
ranging from 5.3% to 8.1% calculated on the notional amounts. These
agreements contain no leverage features and have various maturity dates
from 1995 to 2008. The Company uses derivative financial instruments
for trading purposes from time to time. The Company has hedged its
exchange rate risk with respect to contracted future charter revenues
receivable in Japanese yen to minimize the effect of foreign exchange
rate fluctuations on reported income by entering into currency swaps
with a major financial institution to deliver such foreign currency at
fixed rates that will result in the Company receiving approximately
$142,000,000 for such foreign currency from April 1, 1995 through 2004.

The Company has an unsecured long-term credit facility of $500,000,000, of
which $277,000,000 was used at March 31, 1995, and an unsecured short-
term credit facility of $30,000,000, which was unused at that date. At
May 10, 1995, the Company has commitments with an aggregate unpaid cost
of approximately $290,400,000 for the construction of six foreign flag
bulk vessels, two of which are scheduled for delivery in 1995, two in
late 1996 and the other two in 1997. Long-term shipyard financing
arrangements exist for approximately $76,000,000 of the unpaid cost of
certain of the vessels.


Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

There was a deficiency of earnings to fixed charges for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 of $6,335,000.  This has been computed by
subtracting the sum of loss before Federal income taxes and fixed
charges from fixed charges.  Fixed charges consist of interest expense,
including the proportionate share of interest of joint venture
companies, capitalized interest and an estimate of the interest
component of an operating lease.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION


To the Shareholders
Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 1995
and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and
retained earnings and cash flows for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  A review of
interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, which will be performed for the full year
with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an
opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements
referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Overseas Shipholding
Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations and retained earnings and cash
flows for the year then ended, not presented herein, and in our report
dated February 21, 1995 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set
forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 1994, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been
derived.
