Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
         ------------------------------------

         On December 22, 1999, Maritrans Inc. completed the sale of ten barges,
         ranging in size from 55,000 to 155,000 barrels of capacity, and eight
         tugboats to K-Sea Transportation LLC. The total proceeds from the
         transaction were $34 million comprised of $29 million of cash and $5
         million in the form of a note. The selling price of the vessels was
         based on the fair market value of those vessels at the time of the
         sale.

         This transaction and the transaction discussed in Item 5. below
         represent approximately 15% of the Company's net fixed asset value as
         of September 30, 1999, 25% of the Company's cargo-carrying capacity and
         22% of the Company's total revenue for the nine months ended September
         30, 1999.

Item 5.  Other Events
         ------------

         The Company also disposed of assets on December 8, 1999, which did not
         exceed 10% of the total assets of the Company. The sale consisted of
         five barges, ranging in size from 32,000 to 53,000 barrels of capacity,
         and three tugboats to Vane Line Bunkering Inc. The total proceeds from
         the transaction were $14 million, based on the fair market value of
         those vessels, and were comprised of $10 million of cash and $4 million
         in the form of a note. As a non-material transaction, the disposition
         on December 8, 1999 is voluntarily reported as additional information.

  NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
         FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

(1) To eliminate the revenue and direct expenses associated with the vessels
    that were sold by the Company assuming such disposition occurred as of the
    beginning of the period presented.

    No pro forma adjustment has been made to general and administrative expenses
    as there were no direct reductions in these expenses associated with the
    transactions; however, the Company expects general and administrative
    expense to decrease in the future as a result of these transactions.

    Because the vessels sold were a portion of a pool of vessels in a fleet
    mortgage under the Company's indenture, no pro forma allocation of interest
    expense has been made. Further, the Company has not reflected pro forma
    earnings on the proceeds of the sales.

(2) The Company's pro forma tax provision reflects an effective tax rate of 38%
    and 43% for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the nine months ended
    September 30, 1999, respectively, which represents the federal and state
    income taxes associated with the pro forma adjustments.

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1999


(1) To reflect the sale of assets to K-Sea Transportation LLC and Vane Line
    Bunkering Inc. as if such dispositions had occurred as of September 30,
    1999. The total proceeds of the sale were $48 million ($39 million in cash
    and $9 million in notes receivable from the buyer) of which $0.5 million is
    contingent upon certain contractual obligations and will be recognized when
    these conditions are achieved. Additionally, the Company recorded a reserve
    of $4.5 million against the notes as the Company believes the collectibility
    of a certain portion of the notes is uncertain.

    The allocation of the consideration received is as follows:
