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 September 30, 1995 and for the three month and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1995 and September 30, 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 and nine month periods ended
September 30, 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 $4,400,000 (three months
ended September 30, 1995), $3,300,000 (three months ended September
30, 1994), $12,500,000 (nine months ended September 30, 1995) and
$9,200,000 (nine months ended September 30, 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 November 8, 1995, CCLI has commitments (which are nonrecourse to OSG)
with an approximate aggregate unpaid cost of $965,000,000 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 October 1,
1995).  Long-term financing arrangements exist for substantially all
of the unpaid cost of these ships.  Approximately 51% of the unpaid
cost is denominated in German marks, substantially all of which is
covered by forward contracts or option contracts; this includes
approximately 32% 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 November 8, 1995, certain 50%-owned companies have commitments (which
are nonrecourse to OSG) with an aggregate unpaid cost of $99,000,000
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 $81,000,000 of progress payments and prepayments
(including $5,000,000 paid subsequent to September 30, 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.

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 $1,348,000 (three months ended September 30, 1995),
$1,232,000 (three months ended September 30, 1994), $4,056,000 (nine
months ended September 30, 1995) and $3,818,000 (nine months ended
September 30, 1994) of brokerage commissions to Maritime.  Maritime is
owned by a director of the Company; directors or officers of the
Company constitute all three of the directors and the majority of the
principal officers of Maritime.

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 $8,289,000 (three months ended September 30,
1995), $4,859,000 (three months ended September 30, 1994), $19,029,000
(nine months ended September 30, 1995) and $16,313,000 (nine months
ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September
30, 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 September 30, 1995 to $49,200,000.

Note F - Long-term Debt (continued):

As of September 30, 1995, the Company was 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.  In early November 1995, interest rate swaps with notional
amounts of $85,000,000 matured.

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 $48,734,000 (nine months ended September 30,
1995) and $34,268,000 (nine months ended September 30, 1994), excluding
capitalized interest.

1. As of November 8, 1995, the Company has commitments with an aggregate
unpaid cost of approximately $241,300,000 for the construction of six
foreign flag bulk vessels, two of which are scheduled for delivery in
early 1996, three in late 1996 and the other one in 1997.  Unpaid costs
are net of $216,000,000 of progress payments and prepayments (including
$14,000,000 paid subsequent to September 30, 1995) and of discounts
arising from such prepayments.  Long-term shipyard financing
arrangements exist for approximately $38,000,000 of the unpaid cost of
one of the vessels.

2. Net (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each period, 36,224,000 shares (three months
ended September 30, 1995), 36,204,000 shares (three months ended
September 30, 1994), 36,218,000 shares (nine months ended September 30,
1995) and 35,379,000 shares (nine months ended September 30, 1994).

Stock options have not been included in the computation of net (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 $135,000,000 for such foreign currency from
October 1, 1995 through 2004.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


Operations

Results of Vessel Operations

Revenues and results of 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 crude tanker markets were weak in the first nine
months of 1995, although, on average, crude carriers were earning more
than in the comparable period of 1994.  Spot rates for international
crude carriers trended upward during the third quarter of 1995, but
toward the end of the quarter, rates for VLCCs (over 200,000 dwt) and
Suezmaxes (120-160,000 dwt) decreased and, in the early part of the
fourth quarter of 1995, remained below their third quarter highs. Dry
bulk rates rose in the second half of 1994 and, for much of the first
nine months of 1995, were nearly double those of the same period of the
prior year.  These rates trended downward near the end of the third
quarter of 1995 and in the early part of the fourth quarter.  Demand
for U.S. flag tankers decreased during most of the first nine months of
1995 from the unsatisfactory 1994 levels.  Six of OSG's U.S. flag
tankers were unemployed for substantial portions of the 1995 period.
Five of these ships are chartered for employment beginning in October
and November 1995.

Income from vessel operations for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 was
slightly lower than in the third quarter of 1994.  Income from foreign
flag vessel operations improved approximately $7,300,000, reflecting
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.  The effect
on revenues of reduced drydockings in the 1995 third quarter compared
to 1994 is included.  Results from vessel operations of the U.S. flag
fleet declined by approximately $7,600,000 in the 1995 third quarter
compared to the corresponding 1994 period.  This reflected
significantly increased days without employment for certain of the
Company's U.S. flag crude carriers.  This was partially offset by
reduced general and administrative expenses.

Results of Vessel Operations (continued)

Income from vessel operations for the first nine months of 1995 improved by
approximately $7,100,000 from the results for the comparable period of
1994.  This increase was attributable to improved income of
approximately $22,200,000 from foreign flag vessel operations,
reflecting the favorable impact of four newly built Aframax vessels
delivered during 1994 and two modern Aframaxes purchased in 1995 and
improved rates earned by certain crude carriers and petroleum products
carriers in the 1995 nine months compared to 1994.  Dry cargo vessels
also obtained higher rates in the 1995 nine months compared to 1994.
Results from vessel operations of the U.S. flag fleet declined
approximately $15,100,000 in the 1995 first nine months from the 1994
period.  As previously mentioned, six of the Company's U.S. flag crude
carriers were without employment for substantial portions of the 1995
nine months; also, results from two U.S. flag dry bulk carriers were
less favorable in the 1995 nine months than in 1994.  Improved results
for certain U.S. flag products carriers and reduced general and
administrative expenses are also reflected.

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

The Company's share of CCLI's results were income of $1,215,000 and a loss
of $742,000 in the third quarter and first nine months of 1995,
respectively, compared with a loss of $963,000 and income of $2,551,000
in the comparable periods of 1994.  CCLI's results reflect strong
competitive pressures in the North American cruise market resulting in
reduced per diems.  These pressures have continued into the fourth
quarter.

Other Income-Net

The details of other income-net are shown in Note G.  Interest and dividends
increased in the 1995 third quarter and first nine months as compared
to the 1994 periods because of higher rates of return on interest-
bearing deposits and investments and increased amounts utilized for
such deposits and investments.  Gains on sale of securities were
$5,964,000 (1995 third quarter), $8,529,000 (1995 first nine months),
$686,000 (1994 third quarter)
and $5,304,000 (1994 first nine months). Disposal of vessels resulted in
gains of $4,303,0000 and $6,815,000 in the third quarter and first nine
months of 1994, respectively (there were no sales of vessels in the
1995 first nine months).  Other income-net also reflects the results of
foreign currency transactions and income/losses from other investments
(included in miscellaneous-net) including, in the 1995 first nine
months, a loss (all in the first quarter) of approximately $1,500,000
on an investment.

          OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                                  
Interest Expense

Interest expense increased in the third quarter and first nine months of
1995 from the corresponding periods of 1994 as a result of increases in
the average amount of debt outstanding in the 1995 periods compared to
1994, including debt incurred in connection with vessels entering the
operating fleet and increased rates on floating rate debt. Interest
cost capitalized in connection with vessel construction increased
slightly in the third quarter of 1995 compared to the 1994 third
quarter and decreased slightly in the first nine months of 1995 from
the comparable 1994 period.  Interest expense reflects approximately
$1,000,000 and $3,400,000 in the third quarter and first nine months of
1995, respectively, and $1,700,000 and $7,400,000 in the comparable
1994 periods, 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 each of the four periods as a result of
the pretax loss incurred in each of the respective periods.  The tax
credits reflect items that are not subject to tax and the dividends
received deduction.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Working capital at September 30, 1995 was approximately $180,000,000.
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 $16,000,000 at September 30, 1995.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 1995
approximated $14,000,000 (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 September 30, 1995, the Company was 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.  In early November 1995, interest rate swaps with
notional amounts of $85,000,000 matured.  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 $135,000,000 for such foreign currency
from October 1, 1995 through 2004.


<PAGE>
          OVERSEAS SHIPHOLDING GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Liquidity and Sources of Capital (continued)

The Company has an unsecured long-term credit facility of $500,000,000, of
which $382,000,000 was used at September 30, 1995, and an unsecured
short-term credit facility of $30,000,000, which was unused at that
date.  At November 8, 1995, the Company has commitments with an
aggregate unpaid cost of approximately $241,300,000 for the
construction of six foreign flag bulk vessels, two of which are
scheduled for delivery in early 1996, three in late 1996 and the other
one in 1997.  Long-term shipyard financing arrangements exist for
approximately $38,000,000 of the unpaid cost of one of the vessels.
                                  
                                  

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

There was a deficiency of earnings to fixed charges for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 of $28,383,000.  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 September 30,
1995 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations
and retained earnings for the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994 and the related condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September
30, 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 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.

September 19, 1995


Mr. Michael A. Recanati
40 East 78th Street
New York, NY 10021

Dear Mr. Recanati,

("OSG") and you in connection with your termination of employment
and your retention as a consultant to OSG, as follows:

1.   Your employment with OSG shall terminate as of September 11,
     1995.   Thereafter, you shall serve as a consultant  to  OSG
     for  a  period  of  two years, as provided in  paragraph  10

6.   Your aggregate accrued monthly retirement benefit under  the
     MOC  qualified  pension  plan  and  under  the  supplemental
     employee retirement plans will reflect two additional  years
     of service through September 11, 1997 at $765,000 per year.

7.   Your  participation in and benefits under the life insurance
     plan  and the medical and dental plan shall continue  as  at
     present  until  September 30, 1997 unless, in  the  case  of
     medical  and  dental plans, you are eligible for  equivalent
     coverage under the medical and dental plans related  to  new
     employment.

8.   Your rights with respect to any options granted to you under
     the  OSG  1989  Stock  Option Plan (As Amended),  which  are
     unvested at termination of your employment, will all  become
     vested  and  exercisable on October 9, 1995.   All  options,
     including  those  which are presently vested,  shall  remain
     exercisable until December 31, 1997 and shall expire on said
     date.

9.   Until  September  11, 1997, OSG will provide  you  with  the
     services of an Executive Secretary/Administrative Assistant,
     to  be designated by you, at the same compensation level  as
     your current Secretary/Administrative Assistant.

10.  You   agree  to  make  yourself  available  to  render  such
     consulting services as may be requested by OSG from time  to
     time  until  September  11, 1997 at no  additional  cost  or
     expense to the Company, except that OSG will reimburse  your
     ordinary  and necessary out-of-pocket expenses for  business
     travel  outside of New York City in the course of performing
     such services.

11.  You  agree  (i) not to disclose any material or  information
     which   is  treated  as  confidential  by  OSG  and/or   MOC
     (hereinafter  for the purposes of paragraphs 11  and  12  of
     this Agreement collectively referred as "OSG"), (ii) not  to
     disparage  OSG,  its  agents, or any of their  subsidiaries,
     affiliated   or   related  companies  or  their   respective
     employees, (iii) not to work prior to September 11, 1997, as
     an  employee of, or a consultant to, a shipping  company  or
     ship  broker,  in any capacity other than dealing  with  the
     development  of information systems, and (iv)  to  keep  the
     terms of this Agreement confidential and not to disclose its
     contents   to   anyone   except  your  attorney,   financial
     consultant or other professional advisor.

12.  (a) Any breach of the provisions of paragraphs 10 and 11  of
     this  Agreement  by  you during the  term  hereof  shall  be
     considered  a  material breach of this  Agreement.   In  the
     event  of  such  breach,  and due  to  the  difficulties  in
     calculating the damages that might be sustained (directly or
     indirectly)  as  a  result of such breach, you  specifically
     consent  to the entry of injunctive relief against  you,  in
     addition to any and all of OSG's remedies under the law, and
     you  further agree that OSG may obtain the foregoing  relief
     without the posting of a bond.

     (b)  In addition, in the event of a breach of the provisions
     of  paragraphs 10 and 11 of this Agreement by you, OSG shall
     be  entitled  to terminate its obligations to you  hereunder
     and   you  shall  forfeit  all  future  rights  under   this
     Agreement.

13.  This  Agreement  and  the  General Release  attached  hereto
     contains the entire agreement between you and OSG and  fully
     supersedes  any  and all prior agreements or  understandings
     with respect to the subject matter hereof and the terms  and
     provisions  of  this  Agreement  and  the  General   Release
     attached hereto may not be modified or amended except  in  a
     writing signed by both parties.

14.  You  have  the  right to consider fully the  terms  of  this
     Agreement  for twenty-one (21) days and to consult  with  an
     attorney of your choosing in connection with this Agreement.

15.  You  represent and warrant that (a) you have carefully  read
     this Agreement in its entirety and you fully understand  the
     significance  of  all of the terms and  conditions  of  this
     Agreement,   and   (b)  you  are  signing   this   Agreement
     voluntarily and of your own free will, and assent to all the
     terms and conditions contained herein.

16.  No  waiver by either party of any breach by the other  party
     of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any
     prior  or subsequent breach.  Except to the extent otherwise
     specifically provided herein, any waiver must be in  writing
     and  signed by you or an authorized officer of OSG,  as  the
     case may be.

17.  This  Agreement  shall  be governed  by  and  construed  and
     enforced  in  accordance with the laws of the State  of  New
     York applicable to contracts to be performed therein.

18.  The  parties  agree  that  OSG shall  withhold  all  amounts
     required to be withheld for federal, state and local  income
     tax purposes to the extent required by applicable law.

This Agreement and the General Release attached hereto shall  not
become  effective until the eighth day following  your  execution
thereof, and you may revoke your agreement prior to that date  by
giving written notice of such revocation to the undersigned.

If  you  are  in  agreement with the Agreement  and  the  General
Release  attached  hereto,  please  indicate  your  approval  and
acceptance  thereof by signing your name and inserting  the  date
where  indicated  below  on both copies  of  the  Agreement,  and
executing both copies of the General Release in the presence of a
Notary, and return one original copy of each thereof to me.   The
