ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS.

     On July 25, 1997, Maritrans Inc. ("Maritrans") announced the signing of
     agreements to purchase six marine vessels from subsidiaries of Sun Company,
     Inc. ("Sun"). The purchase was completed by subsidiaries of Maritrans on
     October 14, 1997 for a total of $30.9 million. This purchase price was
     determined in an arms length transaction between Maritrans and Sun.
     Maritrans funded the acquisition from available cash and cash equivalents.

     Maritrans' acquisitions of the six vessels from Sun consisted of the
     following:

          The MT New York Sun, a 34,000 deadweight ton ("dwt") petroleum tanker
          that was on charter to the Military Sealift Command and will remain so
          in accordance with the terms of the charter. The vessel has been
          renamed the Allegiance. This transaction represents the acquisition of
          Sun's business with the Military Sealift Command, which is below the
          level of significance requiring audited financial statements of the
          predecessor company.

          The MT Philadelphia Sun, also a 34,000 dwt petroleum tanker, which had
          been utilized by Sun in its own service. This vessel has been renamed
          the Perseverance. Maritrans and Sun have entered into an agreement
          whereby Maritrans will charter the Perseverance to Sun for use in its
          lube oil trade.

          The tug Puerto Rico Sun and the barge Borinquen Sun and the tug
          Seminole Sun and the barge Caribe Sun, two tug and barge units which
          had been utilized by Sun in its Puerto Rico operations. These vessels
          will be renamed the Republic/Maritrans 61 and the
          Declaration/Maritrans 75, respectively. Maritrans and Sun have entered
          into agreements whereby Maritrans will charter these vessels to Sun
          for use in Sun's Puerto Rico operations.

     In 1996, Sun accounted for approximately 20% of Maritrans' revenues. No
     officers or directors of Maritrans or Sun serve as officers or directors of
     the other company.

               a.   The results of the underwater inspection referred to in

               b.   Buyer and Sellers or an affiliate of Sellers having
