              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.      Basis of Presentation/Organization
        ----------------------------------
        Maritrans Inc. owns Maritrans Operating Partners L.P. (the "Operating
        Partnership"), Maritrans Barge Co. 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, along the Gulf and Atlantic
        Coasts, and own and operate petroleum storage facilities on the Atlantic
        Coast.

        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, 1995, 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.

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
        accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
        assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
        and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
        estimates.

        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 Corporation's
        Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 1995.

2.      Earnings per 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.




ITEM 2.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                ---------------------------------------------
                Liquidity and Capital Resources
                -------------------------------
                For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, funds provided by
                operating activities were sufficient to fully meet debt service
                obligations and loan agreement restrictions, and fund investment
                activities. In addition, the Company paid a dividend of $.05 per
                share during the quarter.

                Management believes that in 1996 funds provided by operating
                activities, augmented by financing and investing transactions,
                will be sufficient to provide the funds necessary for
                operations, anticipated capital expenditures, lease payments,
                required debt repayments, and anticipated common stock
                repurchases. Dividends are expected to be made quarterly during
                1996.

                Barring changes in its current plans, management believes
                capital expenditures in 1996 for improvements to its current
                fleet of vessels and existing marine terminals will be
                approximately $3 million compared to $15 million in 1995.
                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. In
                1995 cash was used for the purchase of marine vessels, terminals

                                        5

                and equipment including modifications to the MARITRANS 300, the
                acquisition of the Baltimore terminal facility, and improvements
                to the existing fleet. Total capital expenditures of the Company
                through March 31, 1996 were $1.6 million.

                During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company announced plans
                to construct up to six new double-hulled petroleum tankers.
                During the first quarter of 1996, the delivery dates for such
                tankers, the construction of which is subject to receipt of U.S.
                Maritime Administration financing guarantees, were extended from
                1998 to 2000 to allow the Company to be more flexible in
                responding to developing market conditions in the future. This
                extension would be shortened by passage of the Organization for
                Economic Cooperation and Development (the "OECD") shipyard
                subsidy legislation currently being considered by the U.S.
                Congress.

                Liquidity and Capital Indicators
                --------------------------------
                As of March 31, 1996:
                Ratio of current assets to current liabilities           2.4:1
                Working capital (in thousands)                         $39,734
                Ratio of total debt to the sum of total debt
                 and stockholders' equity                                  .58

                Working Capital Position
                ------------------------
                Working capital increased approximately $3.6 million from
                December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996. Current assets increased
                due to cash generated by operating activities offset by
                reductions in other current assets. Current liabilities
                decreased due to a decline in other accrued liabilities and
                accrued wages and benefits, although these decreases were
                substantially offset by an increase in accrued interest due to
                the timing of the required payment. The ratio of current assets
                to current liabilities increased from 2.2:1 at December 31, 1995
                to 2.4:1 at March 31, 1996.

                Debt Obligations and Borrowing Facility 
                --------------------------------------- 

                At March 31, 1996, the Company had $112.6 million in total

                                        6

<PAGE>



                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 March 31, 1996 is $8.6 million. The
                Company has a $10 million working capital facility, secured by
                its receivables and inventories, which expires June 30, 1996 and
                which is expected to be renewed. There were no borrowings
                against this facility during the three months ended March 31,
                1996.

                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                ---------------------
                Three Month Comparison
                ----------------------
                Revenues
                --------
                Revenues of $31.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
                1996, decreased by $1.2 million, or 3.7%, from revenues of $32.8
                million for the three months ended March 31, 1995. Barrels of
                cargo transported of 55.0 million for the three months ended
                March 31, 1996, decreased 5.1 million from 60.1 million for the
                three months ended March 31, 1995. The decline in revenue and
                barrels resulted primarily from refinery shut downs in the
                Philadelphia area. Revenue from sources other than marine
                transportation were constant at 3.6% of total revenue, for the
                three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

                Results
                -------
                Operating expenses of $28.6 million for the three months ended
                March 31, 1996, increased by $1.2 million, or 4.4%, from
                operating expenses of $27.4 million for the three months ended
                March 31, 1995. The increase in operating expenses resulted
                primarily from the MARITRANS 300 unit being in service for the
                three months ended March 31, 1996 (the MARITRANS 300 was in the
                shipyard for modifications during most of 1995). Increased
                professional fees, related to consulting for new business
                opportunities, also contributed to the rise in operating
                expenses.

                Other income in the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
                is primarily interest income.

                                        7

<PAGE>



                Net income of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31,
                1996, is $1.6 million less than the net income of $2.3 million
                for the three months ended March 31, 1995. This is due primarily
                to the decline in revenues and the increase in operating
                expenses.


                In early 1996, BP Oil Company completed the sale of its
                northeastern U.S. retail outlets, terminal facilities and its
                Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, refinery to Tosco Corporation
                ("Tosco"). The refinery was turned over to Tosco in a
                non-operating state, and plans to reopen the refinery by Tosco
                are still uncertain. This development negatively impacts
                financial results as it lowers both crude lightering volumes
                into, and refined product movements out of, refineries along the
                Delaware River. Maritrans continues to take actions to replace
                the revenues that had been associated with the refinery's
                output, including relocating certain vessels, and continues to
                evaluate other steps to mitigate the financial impact. The
                refinery's output does not represent the only source of
                Maritrans' revenue from BP Oil Shipping Company.
