                               PROXY STATEMENT 

   This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of 
proxies by the Board of Directors of Maritrans Inc. (hereinafter called the 
"Company") for use at the 1995 Annual Meeting to be held on Wednesday, May 
10, 1995 at 10 a.m., local time, in the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, 
20th Floor, One Logan Square, 18th & Cherry Streets, Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania 19103. Each proxy which is properly executed and returned in 
time for use at the meeting will be voted at the Annual Meeting and any 
adjournments or postponements thereof in accordance with the choice 
specified. Each proxy may be revoked by the person giving the same at any 
time prior to its exercise by notice in writing received by the Secretary. 

   The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. 
Solicitation will be made by mail. Additional solicitation may be made by 
means of follow-up letter, telephone or telegram by officers and employees of 
the Company, who will not be specially compensated for such services. Proxy 
forms and materials also will be distributed to beneficial owners through 
brokers, custodians, nominees and similar parties, and the Company intends to 
reimburse such parties, upon request, for reasonable expenses incurred by 
them in connection with such distribution. 

   The Proxy Statement and the enclosed Proxy Form are first being mailed to 
stockholders on or about March 30, 1995. The address of the principal 
executive offices of the Company is: Maritrans Inc., One Logan Square, 26th 
Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. 

   The Company's annual report to stockholders for the year ended December 
31, 1994, including audited financial statements, is being mailed to 
stockholders with this Proxy Statement, but does not constitute a part of 
this Proxy Statement. 

                   MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING 

   As indicated in the Notice of Meeting, at the Annual Meeting two directors 
will be elected to serve for three-years terms. The other three members of 
the Board of Directors who are not standing for election at the meeting, 
because their terms have not expired, will continue to serve on the Board. 

                            VOTING AT THE MEETING 

   Holders of the shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value 
("Common Stock"), of record at the close of business on March 14, 1995, are 
entitled to vote at the meeting. As of that date 12,529,628 shares of the 
Common Stock were outstanding. Each stockholder entitled to vote shall have 
the right to one vote for each share outstanding in such stockholder's name. 
The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of 
the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum. 

   The Company presently has no other class of stock outstanding and entitled 
to be voted at the meeting. The holders of a majority of the shares entitled 
to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum. The 
affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present in person or 
represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required for the 
election of directors. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares 
present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote 
is required to take action with respect to any other matter as may be 
properly brought before the meeting. 

   With regard to the election of a director, votes may be cast in favor or 
withheld. Votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and 
will have no effect. 

                                      1 

<PAGE> 4

   Brokers that are member firms of the New York Stock Exchange and who hold 
shares in street name for customers have the authority to vote those shares 
with respect to the election of directors if they have not received 
instructions from a beneficial owner. A failure by brokers to vote shares 
will have no effect in the outcome of the election of a director because such 
shares will not be considered shares present and entitled to vote with 
respect to such matters. 

   Shares cannot be voted at the meeting unless the holder of record is 
present in person or represented by proxy. The enclosed Proxy Form is a means 
by which a stockholder may authorize the voting of his or her shares at the 
meeting. The shares of Common Stock represented by each properly executed 
Proxy Form will be voted at the meeting in accordance with each stockholder's 
directions. Stockholders are urged to specify their choices by marking the 
appropriate boxes on the enclosed Proxy Form; if no choice has been 
specified, the shares will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors. 
If any other matters are properly presented to the meeting for action, the 
proxy holders will vote the proxies (which confer discretionary authority to 
vote on such matter) in accordance with their best judgment. 

   Execution of the accompanying Proxy Form will not affect a stockholder's 
right to revoke it by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of 
the Company before the proxy is voted, by voting in person at the meeting, or 
by executing a later-dated proxy that is received by the Company before the 
meeting. 

   Your proxy vote is important to the Company. Accordingly, you are asked to 
complete, sign and return the accompanying Proxy Form whether or not you plan 
to attend the meeting. If you plan to attend the meeting to vote in person 
and your shares are registered with the Company's transfer agent (American 
Stock Transfer and Trust Company) in the name of a broker, bank or other 
custodian, nominee or fiduciary, you must secure a proxy from such person 
assigning you the right to vote your shares. 

                            ELECTION OF DIRECTORS 

   The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the 
Board of Directors of the Company is classified into three classes of 
directors having staggered terms of office. 

   The Board currently is comprised of five directors serving staggered terms 
of office. The term of two current directors, Mr. James H. Sanborn and Mr. 
Bruce C. Lindsay, will expire at the 1995 Annual Meeting. The Board of 
Directors of the Company has nominated Mr. Sanborn and Mr. Robert J. 
Lichtenstein for election as directors of the Company for terms of office 
which would expire in 1998. Mr. Lindsay is not standing for re-election to 
the Board of Directors. The remaining three directors will continue to serve 
in accordance with their prior election. 

   Unless instructed otherwise, the persons named in the enclosed proxy, or 
their substitutes, will vote signed and returned proxies FOR the nominees 
listed below. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve if elected. The two 
directors are to be elected by a plurality of the shares present in person or 
represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote. 

   If for any reason not presently known, either of the nominees is not 
available for election, another person or persons may be nominated by the 
Board of Directors and voted for in the discretion of the persons named in 
the enclosed proxy. Vacancies on the Board of Directors occurring after the 
election will be filled by Board appointment to serve as provided by the 
Company's By-Laws. 

   The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR each of the nominees: 

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADVANCE NOTIFICATION OF NOMINEES 

   Section 4.13(b) of the Company's by-laws provides that any stockholder 
entitled to vote for the election of directors at a meeting may nominate a 
director for election if written notice of the stockholder's intent to make

14 days nor more than 50 days prior to any meeting of the stockholders called

   Each eligible employee who has completed 1,000 hours of service in an 
eligibility computation period becomes a participant in the Maritrans Inc. 
Retirement Plan. The Retirement Plan is a noncontributory defined benefit 
pension plan under which the contributions are actuarially determined each 
year. Retirement benefits are calculated, for those employees who commenced 
participation on or after August 14, 1984, as 48% of the average basic 
monthly compensation reduced by 1/30th for each year of service at retirement 
which is under 30 years of service, or for those employees who commenced 
participation before August 14, 1984, the greater of (i) the foregoing 
benefit or (ii) 38.5% of average basic monthly compensation reduced by 1/15th 
for each year of service at retirement which is under 15 years of service. 
Average basic monthly compensation is determined by averaging compensation 
for the five consecutive plan years that will produce the highest amount. 

   Benefits are paid in the form of a joint and survivor annuity for married 
participants and in the form of a ten-year certain single life annuity for 
unmarried participants, unless an actuarially equivalent payment option is 
selected. The preceding table shows estimated annual retirement benefits, 
payable in the form of a ten-year certain single life annuity, at the normal 
retirement age of 65 for specified compensation and years of credited service 
classifications. 

   The Internal Revenue Code limits annual benefits that may be paid under 
tax qualified plans. Benefits under the Retirement Plan which exceed such 
limitations are payable under the Excess Benefit Plan. The Excess Benefit 
Plan pays a monthly benefit to the participant equal to the amount by which 
monthly benefits under the Retirement Plan would exceed the Internal Revenue 
Code limitations. 

   Annual compensation taken into account under the foregoing plans in 1994 
for the officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table was $275,600 for 
Mr. Van Dyck, $160,000 for Mr. Sheridan, $125,000 for Mr. Flood, $124,098 for 
Mr. Schaefer, $118,196 for Mr. Newcomb and $100,000 for Mr. York. Pension 
amounts are not subject to reduction for Social Security benefits. 

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION 

   During fiscal 1994, the members of the Compensation Committee were 
responsible for determining executive compensation. Messrs. Boni and Lindsay 
comprised the Compensation Committee during this period. Neither of these 
individuals received compensation as an officer of the Company during fiscal 
1994. No officer of the Company presently serves on the Compensation 
Committee. 

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION 

I. Compensation Philosophy and Strategy 

   Maritrans strives to increase its earnings and to enhance shareholder 
value by assuring an appropriate return on its assets and equity. Two 
elements of the business strategy critical to achieving growth in earnings 
are minimizing the risks and costs of the traditional marine transportation 
business and offering new, value-added distribution services to customers. 

                                      11 

<PAGE> 14

   The business environment in the core business continues to be intensely 
competitive and subject to many rigid environmental laws and operating 
regulations. Maritrans believes that navigating the transition from the more 
traditional commodity barge business to its distribution services vision 
requires great ingenuity, continuous learning and personal dedication in its 
key impact employees. Therefore, it is critical that Maritrans' total 
compensation program attract and retain the caliber of people necessary to 
generate success for the Company and its shareholders. 

   Maritrans' philosophy for its executive compensation programs is to reward 
the most relevant factors which drive the return to shareholders. Maritrans 
identifies these factors to be: 

   o  preservation of the business through safe operations, especially in 
      light of the provisions of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and subsequent 
      state oil pollution laws; 

   o  achievement of annual financial goals; and 

   o  achievement of long-term shareholder value. 

   The Compensation Committee of Maritrans Inc.'s Board of Directors (the 
"Committee") and Maritrans' executives have recognized the need to review 
continuously the Company's executive compensation program to ensure that it: 

   o  is effective in driving performance to achieve financial and safety 
      goals; 

   o  results in increased shareholder value; 

   o  is cost-efficient while balancing shareholder interests with employee 
      rewards; 

   o  is well communicated and understood by program participants; 

   o  reflects Maritrans' unique, quality-oriented, entrepreneurial, 
      customer-focused orientation; and 

   o  is competitive with other similar industry organizations. 

   Maritrans regularly consults with compensation and benefit consultants. In 
1994 Maritrans engaged an independent compensation and benefits consulting 
firm to review the executive compensation and benefits program. Reviewed were 
the program's alignment with business strategy, with comparative peer 
companies and with the interests of shareholders, customers, communities, 
management, employees, the physical environment and other stakeholders in 
Maritrans' success. 

II. Program Description 

   A. Total Compensation Approach 

   Maritrans' compensation strategy is to place a substantial amount of 
executive total cash compensation at risk in the form of performance-based 
programs. Therefore, in conjunction with base salary, Maritrans' executives 
participate in three incentive-based plans: an annual incentive plan, a stock 
option plan and a long-term, stock-related performance unit plan. Maritrans' 
executives can achieve total compensation levels significantly above peer 
comparison group levels when annual and long-term performance significantly 
exceeds established goals and shareholders are rewarded through stock price 
growth and dividends. Likewise, total executive compensation could fall 
substantially below average levels when established goals for safe 
operations, financial achievement and shareholder return are not achieved. 

   Peer companies included in the competitive labor market analysis during 
1994 are not necessarily the same group as those companies included in the 
performance graph of Maritrans' total shareholder returns (stock price growth 
and dividend reinvestment) accompanying this report. 

   B. Base Salaries 

   Executive base salaries are determined according to job responsibilities, 
strategic contribution level, market compensation data, performance and 
experience criteria. Base salary bands are set at appropriate levels to 

                                      12 

<PAGE> 15

attract high-performing people into a high-risk business. Salary bands are
currently set at approximately the median level of published survey data and are
reviewed annually, with adjustments based on the labor market analyses.
Individual base salaries are also reviewed annually, with adjustments based on
performance against objectives.

   In 1994, the named executives other than Mr. Van Dyck received an average 
one percent base salary increase. Mr. Van Dyck's compensation information is 
available in the "Summary Compensation Table" and also, Section III, "Chief 
Executive Officer Compensation." 

   C. Annual Incentive Plan 

   Based on its review of external surveys and market data for similarly 
performing companies, during 1994 the Committee lowered executive annual 
incentive bonus targets as a percentage of base salaries and increased the 
percentage of performance-based, long-term compensation. At this time the 
Committee also began awarding one-quarter of annual bonus opportunity based 
on the safety and financial results achieved by each executive's division and 
three-quarters of annual bonus opportunity based on total-company results. 

   The Committee believes that the Plan is designed to relate executive 
compensation directly to Company performance so that such bonuses will 
provide a financial reward only for the achievement of substantial business 
results. Bonuses were awarded to executive officers based upon the 
recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer and the determination by the 
Committee that such bonuses were an appropriate reward for the economic and 
operating performance results achieved by the Company during 1994. 

   Safety and oil spill results, where Maritrans' employees could affect the 
outcome, represent half of the total bonus opportunity. Combined safety 
losses decreased another 16 percent from 1993 and by over 65 percent since 
1992. Similarly, oil spills continue at virtually zero, in 1994 representing 
only .0000007 percent of total barrels moved, well below the incentive goal 
of .00001 percent of total barrels moved. These improvements translate into 
substantial insurance deductible savings and improved operations, both of 
which directly benefit the shareholders. The other half of total bonus 
opportunity is based on achievement of annual financial goals. Prior to 1994 
financial achievement was measured by earnings before interest, taxes and 
depreciation (EBITD). The 1994 fiscal year was the first in which division 
results were calculated based on gross operating income and company-wide 
results were based on economic value added (EVA). EVA is calculated by 
subtracting from the net operating profits after tax, the cost of capital 
times the capital employed in the business. The real benefit in using the EVA 
measure is that its focal point is improving shareholder value by advocating 
decisions that will lead to a higher market value for a company's shares. 

   Thus, the level of bonuses for the 1994 fiscal year ranged from 81 percent 
to 92 percent of total opportunity for executive management, depending on 
their division's performance. Bonuses earned for the fiscal year, as a 
percent of each executive's base salary, were 42 percent for Mr. Van Dyck, 34 
percent for Mr. Sheridan, 23 percent for Mr. Flood, 23 percent for Mr. 
Schaefer, 24 percent for Mr. Newcomb and 26 percent for Mr. York. 

   D. Long Term Incentives 

   As noted previously, the Committee's strategy during 1994 was to award an 
increasing portion of each executive's total compensation in the form of 
long-term incentives. While base salaries were held relatively stable and 
annual cash incentives decreased as a percent of base salary, additional 
long-term incentives were offered. Compensation from these incentive plans is 
based on increasing shareholder value through stock price and improving the 
long-term financial results of the Company. 

   The Committee believes that stock ownership by executive officers is 
important as it aligns a portion of each executives' compensation with the 
economic interest of the stockholders of the Company. The Committee believes 
that stock option grants provide opportunities for capital accumulation, 
promote long-term retention and foster an executive officer's proprietary 
interest in the company. Under the Stock Option Plan, options are issued at a 
price equal to the fair market value of a share on the date of grant, and the 
options expire after ten years. The grant of stock options is discretionary; 
however, it is the Committee's current policy to grant options biannually, 
absent special circumstances. For the current option position of each 
executive, refer to the table, "Aggregated Options Exercises in 1994 and 1994 
Year-end Options Values." Because the Company and the Committee believe that 
stock options are a valuable incentive, stock options have been extended to 
other individuals employed by the Company. 

                                      13 

<PAGE> 16

   The Committee also believes that a long-term cash incentive plan is an 
important portion of an executive's compensation package and, accordingly, 
all named executives were also participants in the Performance Unit Plan. The 
objectives of the Plan are to provide a meaningful long-term incentive to 
senior executives and encourage their continued employment by the Company. 
The Plan determines the amount of compensation based upon the economic 
performance of the Company over succeeding three-year periods of time. 
Because the Company and the Committee believe that performance units are a 
valuable incentive, such units have been granted to other individuals 
employed by the Company. 

III. Chief Executive Officer Compensation 

   The salary, annual bonus, stock option and performance unit awards of the 
Chief Executive Officer are determined by the Committee in conformance with 
the policies described above. Mr. Van Dyck was paid a base salary for the 
fiscal year ending December 31, 1994, of $275,600, a 12 percent reduction 
over the prior year. The Committee initiated this decrease in order for Mr. 
Van Dyck's salary to be consistent with published salary data provided by its 
consultants. At the same time, Mr. Van Dyck's annual bonus opportunity was 
increased and additional long-term incentives were granted to ensure that Mr. 
Van Dyck's total compensation remained competitive with salaries paid to 
chief executive officers of comparable companies. In this way, the 
Committee's philosophy of placing a greater portion of an executive's 
compensation at risk, dependent upon the Company's performance, is achieved. 

IV. Internal Revenue Code Considerations 

   Payments made during 1994 to the Chief Executive Officer and the other 
named officers under the plans discussed above were made without regard to 
the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as 
amended. That section restricts the federal income tax deduction that may be 
claimed by a "public company" for compensation paid to the chief executive 
officer and any of the four most highly compensated other officers to $1.0 
million except to the extent that any amount in excess of such limit is paid 
pursuant to a plan containing a performance standard or a stock option plan 
that meets certain requirements. The stock option plan and stock option 
grants made on and after April 1, 1993, were approved by shareholders in 
April 1994 and meet the requirements of Section 162(m). The Committee does 
not believe that the provisions of Section 162(m) will have any adverse 
effect on the Company's other incentive plans at the current levels of 
compensation being paid to the executive officers.

TOTAL STOCKHOLDER RETURN GRAPH 

   The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that the Company's total 
return to its stockholders be compared to a relevant market index and a 
similar industry index for the last five years. 

   The following chart shows a five year comparison of cumulative total 
returns for the Company's Common Stock (including Units of Maritrans Partners 
L.P. through March 31, 1993) during the five fiscal years ended December 31, 
1994 with the Dow Jones Equity Market Index and the Dow Jones Marine 
Transportation Index. The comparison assumes an investment of $100 on 
December 31, 1989 in each index and the Company's Common Stock and that all 
dividends and distributions were reinvested.

                             CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS 

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS 

   On October 5, 1993, the Company or one of its affiliates entered into 
Employment Agreements with Messrs. Van Dyck, Flood-deceased, Sheridan, 
Telford, and Ward, to take effect on April 1, 1993, the date on which those 
individuals were first employed. The terms of the Employment Agreements 
continue until written notice of termination is given by one of the parties. 
The contracts provide for base salaries at the annual rate of $312,900 for 
Mr. Van Dyck, $118,000 for Mr. Flood, $160,000 for Mr. Sheridan, $120,000 for 
Mr. Telford, and $108,375 for Mr. Ward. Base salaries may be adjusted by the 
Company's Board of Directors pursuant to its normal review policies. The 
Employment Agreements also provide for the payment of bonuses in accordance 
with the terms of the Annual Incentive Plan of the Company, and for 
retirement and other benefits in accordance with the Company's current 
policies for senior executive officers. A lump sum severance payment equal to 
36 months of base salary for Mr. Van Dyck, and 12 months of salary for the 
other executives, plus incentive compensation would be payable if any such 
officer is terminated without cause. In the event any such officer is 
terminated for cause, only such compensation as has already been accrued will 
be paid. In the event of termination of the officer's employment upon a 
change of control, a payment equal to 2.99 multiplied by the officer's 
average annual total compensation over the five years preceding the change of 
control will be paid in a lump sum. Termination of employment upon a change 
of control is broadly defined to include involuntary terminations as well as 
constructive terminations. Mr. Van Dyck's Employment Agreement provides for a 
death benefit equal to 12 months of base salary plus a pro rata portion of 
any bonus due in addition to any insurance benefits otherwise provided by the 
Company for its senior executive officers. The Employment Agreement for Mr. 
Van Dyck also provides for 24 months of base salary plus bonuses in the event 
of disability, which amounts are reduced by any amounts paid under the 
Company's Long-Term Disability Plan. 

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENTS 

   In addition to the employment agreements discussed above, on October 4, 
1993, the Company entered into agreements with Messrs. Newcomb and Schaefer 
that provide for a payment equal to 1.5 multiplied by their total cash 
remuneration in the prior year if any such officer is terminated (actually or 
constructively) within 2 years following a change of control of the Company.

              STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 1996 ANNUAL MEETING 

   Proposals of stockholders proposed to be presented at the 1996 Annual 
Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Company at the offices shown 
on the first page of the Proxy Statement on or before December 1, 1995, in 
order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy material to be issued in 
connection with such meeting. Proposals should be directed to the attention 
of the Secretary of the Company. 

                           SECTION 16 REQUIREMENTS 

   Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires 
the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 
10% of a registered class of the Company's Common Stock to file initial 
reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the Securities 
and Exchange Commission. Such persons are required to furnish the Company 
with copies of all such reports they file. 

   Based solely on written representations of purchases and sales of the 
Company's Common Stock from certain reporting persons, the Company believes 
that all filing requirements applicable to its directors, executive officers 
and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock have been 
observed in respect of fiscal 1994.
