                                 MARITRANS INC.
              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, 1996, 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 Company's
        Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 1996.

2.      Earnings per Share
        ------------------

        The potential effect of outstanding stock options on earnings per common
        share is not dilutive.

        In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
        Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which is required to be adopted
        on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to
        change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to
        restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating
        primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be
        excluded. The impact of Statement 128 is not expected to be material.

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 
         ---------------------------------------------

         This report contains, in addition to historical information, statements
         by the Company with regard to its expectations as to financial results
         and other aspects of its business that involve risks and uncertainties
         and may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
         Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements
         include statements regarding the Company's liquidity and capital
         resources, expected dividends, and expected capital expenditures. Such
         statements are based on management's current expectations and are
         subject to a number of uncertainties and risks that could cause actual
         results to differ materially from those described in the statements.
         Factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited
         to, the continuation of federal law restricting United States
         point-to-point maritime shipping to U.S. vessels (the Jones Act),
         domestic oil

                                        5

         consumption - particularly in Florida and the northeastern U.S.,
         environmental laws and regulations, oil companies' operating and
         sourcing decisions, competition, labor and training costs, liability
         insurance costs, and those described under "Item 1. BUSINESS" in the
         Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
         1996.


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

         For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, 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 $.075 per share during the
         quarter.

         Management believes that in 1997 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 paid
         quarterly during 1997.

         On May 7, 1997 the Company authorized a one year extension to its stock
         buy-back program which was originally announced in May 1995. Under the
         program the Company is authorized to purchase up to a total of 1.8
         million shares depending on market conditions, and has acquired
         approximately 880,000 shares to date. The Company has financed and
         expects that additional share purchases, if made, would be financed
         with internally generated funds.

         Barring changes in its current plans, management believes capital
         expenditures in 1997 for improvements to its current fleet of vessels
         and existing marine terminals will be approximately $3 million to $4
         million compared to $3 million in 1996. However, the Company will
         continue to evaluate potential investments consistent

                                        6

         with its long-term strategic interests, and the potential sources of
         funds for those potential investments.

         Liquidity and Capital Indicators
         --------------------------------

         As of March 31, 1997:

         Ratio of current assets to current liabilities                 1.86:1
         Working capital (in thousands)                                $35,291
         Ratio of total debt to the sum of total debt
          and stockholders' equity                                         .52

         Working Capital Position
         ------------------------

         Working capital increased approximately $3.3 million from December 31,
         1996 to March 31, 1997. This increase was due to cash generated by
         operating activities, equipment sales, and an increase in the current
         portion of deferred income tax benefit, offset by the purchase of
         marine vessels and equipment, dividend payments and the repayment of
         long-term debt. Current liabilities primarily increased due to an
         increase in debt due within one year and accrued interest. The current
         ratio of current assets to current liabilities decreased from 1.95:1 at
         December 31, 1996 to 1.86:1 at March 31, 1997.

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

         At March 31, 1997, the Company had $88.9 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
         March 31, 1997 is $15.3 million. On April 1, 1997, the Company made a
         scheduled repayment of principal of $8.5 million. The Company has a $10
         million working capital facility, secured by its receivables and
         inventories. There were no borrowings against this facility during the
         three months ended March 31, 1997.

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         ---------------------
         Three Month Comparison
         ----------------------
         Revenues
         --------

         Revenues of $31.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
         increased by $0.2 million, or 0.6%, from revenues of $31.6 million for
         the three months ended March 31, 1996. Barrels of cargo transported of
         56.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, increased 1.1
         million from 55.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
         Although owned vessel capacity declined between the comparable periods,
         the small increases in barrels transported and in revenue resulted
         primarily from fleet redeployments made in response to shifting market
         conditions, particularly the closing of a portion of Delaware Valley
         refining capacity in the first quarter of 1996. Revenue from sources
         other than marine transportation decreased from 3.6% of total revenue,
         for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to 2.8% for the three months
         ended March 31, 1997.

         Results
         -------

         Operating expenses of $26.6 million for the three months ended March
         31, 1997, decreased by $2.0 million, or 7.0%, from operating expenses
         of $28.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The
         decrease in operating expenses resulted primarily from reductions in
         owned capacity which Maritrans considered excess to its long-term
         business needs due to its sizes and operating characteristics, thereby
         reducing all major categories of operating expenses.

         For the three months ended March 31, 1997, other income, which is
         primarily interest income, was almost entirely offset by a loss on the
         sale of the Company's Baltimore terminal. March 31, 1996, other income
         of $0.6 million is primarily interest income.

         Net income of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
         is $1.2 million greater than the net income of $0.7 million

         for the three months ended March 31, 1996. This is due primarily to the
         decline in operating expenses.
