              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.      Basis of Presentation/Organization
        ----------------------------------
        Maritrans Inc. owns Maritrans Operating Partners L.P. ("the Operating
        Partnership") and Maritrans Holdings Inc. (collectively, the "Company").
        These subsidiaries, directly and indirectly, own and operate tugs and
        barges principally used in the transportation of oil and related
        products, and own and operate petroleum storage facilities.

        In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated
        financial statements of Maritrans Inc., which are unaudited (except for
        the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1994, which
        is derived from audited financial statements), include all adjustments
        (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly
        the financial statements of the consolidated entities.

        Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
        Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do
        not include all of the information and notes normally included with
        annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
        accepted accounting principles. It is suggested that these financial
        statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated historical
        financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form
        10-K for the period ended December 31, 1994.

2.      Earnings per Common Share
        -------------------------
        The potential effect of outstanding stock options on earnings per common
        share is not dilutive.

3.      Income Taxes
        ------------
        The Company's effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate
        due primarily to state income taxes.

4.      Treasury Stock
        --------------
        Treasury stock of $5,034,000 representing 872,206 shares is included as
        a reduction to stockholders' equity at September 30, 1995.




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

          Liquidity  and Capital  Resources
          ---------------------------------

          For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, funds provided by
          operating activities were, and, for the remainder of the year, are
          expected to be sufficient to fully meet debt service obligations and
          loan agreement restrictions and fund investing activities.
          Additionally, the Company paid a dividend of $0.02 per share in each
          of the first three quarters of 1995. At the most recent meeting of the
          Board of Directors of Maritrans Inc., a dividend of $0.05 per share
          was approved for payment on December 13, 1995, to shareholders of
          record on November 27, 1995.

          On May 10, 1995, the Company announced a stock buy-back plan to
          reacquire up to 1.8 million shares of its common stock over the course
          of the next two years, depending on market conditions. This amount
          represents approximately 15 percent of the 12.5 million shares then
          outstanding. Maritrans intends to hold the majority of the shares as
          treasury stock, although some shares may be used for acquisition
          currency, employee compensation plans, and/or other corporate
          purposes. Maritrans expects to finance the purchase of any reacquired
          shares from internally generated funds. As of September 30, 1995 the
          Company has purchased 872,206 shares at a cost of approximately $5.0
          million.

          On September 22, 1995, a subsidiary of Maritrans Holdings Inc.
          purchased a 530,000-barrel petroleum product terminal located in
          Baltimore, Maryland, increasing petroleum terminal capacity to

                                        6

<PAGE>



          1.6 million barrels. The subsidiary will offer this terminal for
          product storage, both under product throughput agreements and under
          product exchange agreements as part of a distribution arrangement
          which includes marine transportation.

          Management believes capital expenditures in 1995 for improvements to
          its currently operating vessels and existing marine terminals will be
          approximately $3 million compared to $4 million in 1994. In 1994,
          Maritrans also spent $10 million to purchase the MARITRANS 300, an
          oceangoing, double-hulled petroleum tank barge, and will have spent
          approximately $8 million on modifications to the vessel before placing
          it in service in October. However, the Company will continue to
          evaluate the potential purchase of marine storage terminals and other
          investments consistent with its long-term strategic interests, and the
          potential sources of funds for those potential investments. Total
          capital expenditures of the Company through September 30, 1995 were
          $8.2 million, including the purchase of the aforementioned terminal
          facility in Baltimore.

          On November 13, 1995, the Company announced plans to lead a venture
          that would build up to six new double-hulled petroleum tankers over
          the next three to four years for use in United States coastwise trade.
          Construction is subject to obtaining a satisfactory shipyard contract
          and financing. The Company is seeking, through a newly-formed
          subsidiary, government-guaranteed financing under Title XI of the
          Merchant Marine Act, where the government guarantees loans for up to
          87.5 percent of the vessels' construction cost. The Company, and
          potentially another investor, would provide equity to the venture for
          approximately 12.5 percent of the cost of the vessels. The approximate
          cost of each vessel is $45 million.

          Liquidity and Capital Indicators
          --------------------------------
          As of September 30, 1995:
          Ratio of current assets to current liabilities         2.35
          Working capital (in thousands)                      $40,096 
          Ratio of total debt to the sum of total debt
           and stockholders' equity                               .59

          Working Capital Position
          ------------------------
          Working capital decreased by $2.8 million from December 31, 1994 to
          September 30, 1995. Current assets decreased as a result of decreases
          in investments held-to-maturity and in trade accounts receivable which
          were offset by an increase in prepaid expenses, resulting from
          installment payments to the shipyard that has been preparing the
          MARITRANS 300 for service. These payments will be capitalized in the
          fourth quarter when the vessel is placed in service. Current
          liabilities increased $2.1 million due primarily to currently maturing

                                        7

<PAGE>



          debt and an increase in accrued interest. The ratio of current assets
          to current liabilities decreased from 2.56 at December 31, 1994 to
          2.35 at September 30, 1995.

          Debt Obligations and Borrowing Facility
          ---------------------------------------
          At September 30, 1995, the Company had $113.4 million in total
          outstanding debt, secured by mortgages on substantially all of the
          fixed assets of the subsidiaries of the Company. The current portion
          of this debt at September 30, 1995 is $8.7 million. The Company has a
          $10 million working capital facility, secured by its receivables and
          inventories, which expires June 30, 1996. There were no borrowings
          against this facility for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------
          Three Month Comparison
          ----------------------
          Revenues
          --------
                
          Revenues of $29.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
          1995, decreased by $1.0 million, or 3.3%, from revenues of $30.1
          million for the three months ended September 30, 1994. Barrels of
          cargo transported decreased by 7 million barrels, from 60 million for
          the three months ended September 30, 1994 to 53 million for the three
          months ended September 30, 1995. The decrease in revenue and volume is
          the result of refinery maintenance shut-downs and short term changes
          in customer delivery patterns and sourcing decisions. Additionally,
          vessel productivity was disrupted in the third quarter by the
          unusually severe tropical storm season. Revenue from sources other
          than marine transportation decreased from 5.7% of total revenue, for
          the three months ended September 30, 1994, to 4.6% for the three
          months ended September 30, 1995, due to the sale of the contingency
          management business during the fourth quarter of 1994.


          Results
          -------

          Operating expenses of $26.8 million for the three months ended
          September 30, 1995, increased by $1.1 million, or 4.4%, from

                                        8

<PAGE>



          operating expenses of $25.7 million for the three months ended
          September 30, 1994. The increase in expenses is principally the result
          of higher costs in anticipation of Maritrans' increasing fleet
          capacity which included employee training. Additionally, corporate
          communication programs were higher during the quarter than are
          expected on an ongoing basis.

          Other income in the three months ended September 30, 1995 increased
          $0.3 million from other income for the three months ended September
          30, 1994 due to an increase in interest income resulting from a rise
          in interest rates and an increase in funds available for investment.

          Net income of $0.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1995
          decreased by $1.1 million from $1.5 million for the quarter ended
          September 30, 1994 as the result of the aforementioned decrease in
          revenue and increases in operating expenses.


          Nine Month Comparison
          ---------------------
          Revenues
          --------
          Revenues of $92.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
          decreased $0.7 million, or 0.8% from revenues of $92.7 million for the
          nine months ended September 30, 1994. Barrels of cargo transported
          decreased by 11 million barrels, 7 million of which are attributable
          to the third quarter, as discussed above, from 179 million barrels at
          September 30, 1994 to 168 million at September 30, 1995. Revenue held
          steady while volume dropped off, for the nine months ended September
          30, 1995 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994 as the
          result of increasing average trip lengths and changes in customer
          sourcing decisions and delivery patterns. Revenue from sources other
          than marine transportation decreased from 5.9% of total revenue, for
          the nine months ended September 30, 1994, to 4.0% for the nine months
          ended September 30, 1995, due to the sale of the contingency
          management business during the fourth quarter of 1994.

          Results
          -------
          Operating expenses of $81.6 million for the nine months ended
          September 30, 1995 increased by $2.1 million, or 2.7% from operating
          expenses of $79.5 million for the nine months ended September 30,

                
                                        9

<PAGE>



          1994. This increase is primarily due to increases in expenses
          associated with chartering vessels from others and employee
          compensation and the aforementioned training and communication
          programs.

          Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 of $2.7
          million increased $1.3 million from $1.4 million for the nine months
          ended September 30, 1994 primarily from higher interest rates and an
          increase in the average cash balance available for investment.

          Net income of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
          1995, decreased $0.8 million from the $4.5 million for the nine months
          ended September 30, 1994. The decrease is the result of decreased
          revenues and the increase in operating expenses as described above.

          While the combination of events that caused volumes to decline in the
          third quarter are unlikely to recur in the fourth quarter, management
          believes that competitive pressures in its markets will continue to be
          intense.
