                  TEEKAY SHIPPING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            (all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars)
         (Information as at September 30, 1998, and for the Three-Month
      and Six-Month Periods Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 is unaudited)


  1.     Basis of Presentation

         The   accompanying    unaudited    interim    consolidated    financial
         statements  have  been  prepared in accordance with generally  accepted
         accounting   principles  in   the  United  States  and  the  rules  and
         regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange   Commission.   Certain
         information  and footnote  disclosures  required by generally  accepted
         accounting    principles   for  complete  annual  financial  statements
         have   been   omitted  and,  therefore,  it  is  suggested  that  these
         interim   financial   statements   be  read  in  conjunction  with  the
         Company's   audited  financial  statements  for  the fiscal  year ended
         March  31,   1998.   In  the  opinion  of management,  these statements
         reflect  all   adjustments   (consisting   only  of  normal   recurring
         accruals), necessary to present fairly, in all material  respects,  the
         Company's  consolidated  financial  position, results of operations and
         cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations
         for the three-month and six-month periods ended  September 30, 1998 are
         not necessarily  indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

  2.     Marketable Securities

         The  Company's  investments in marketable  securities are classified as
         available-for-sale  securities  and are  carried  at  fair  value.  Net
         unrealized  gains  or  losses  on   available-for-sale  securities,  if
         material, are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
         The Company  classifies  all marketable securities with a maturity date
         of twelve months or less under current assets.

  3.     Cash Flows

         Cash  interest  paid  during  the six-month periods ended September 30,
         1998  and  1997  totalled  approximately  $28,316,000  and $28,826,000,
         respectively.

  4.     Income Taxes

         The legal jurisdictions of the  countries in which the Company and  the
         majority  of  its  subsidiaries  are  incorporated do not impose income
         taxes upon shipping-related activities.

                  TEEKAY SHIPPING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            (all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars)
         (Information as at September 30, 1998, and for the Three-Month
      and Six-Month Periods Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 is unaudited)


  5.      Long Term Debt (cont'd)

         In August 1998, the Company  redeemed the  remaining  $98.7  million of
         the  9 5/8% First  Preferred  Ship  Mortgage Notes ("the 9 5/8% Notes")
         which  resulted in an extraordinary  loss of $7.3 million,  or 23 cents
         and  24  cents   per share   for   the  three  and  six   months  ended
         September 30,  1998, respectively.  The redemption  of the 9 5/8% Notes
         was  financed  by  a public offering of Common Stock  in June 1998 (see
         Note 6 - Capital Stock) and existing cash balances.

         The Company has a long-term  Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolver")
         available which, as at September 30, 1998,  provided for borrowings  of
         up  to  $190.0  million.  Interest  payments  are based on LIBOR plus a
         margin   depending  on  the  financial  leverage  of  the  Company;  at
         September   30,   1998,  the  margin  was  +  0.50%.  The  Revolver  is
         collaterized by  first  priority  mortgages  granted  on  eight  of the
         Company's   Aframax   tankers,   together   with  certain other related
         collateral,   and   a  guarantee  from  the  Company  for  all  amounts
         outstanding under the Revolver.

         The 8.32% First Preferred Ship  Mortgage  Notes  due  February  1, 2008
         (the "8.32% Notes")  are collateralized  by first  preferred  mortgages
         on  seven  of  the  Company's  Aframax  tankers,  together with certain
         other related  collateral,  and are  guaranteed  by seven  subsidiaries
         of Teekay that own the mortgaged  vessels (the "8.32%  Notes  Guarantor
         Subsidiaries")  to  a  maximum  of  95%  of the fair value of their net
         assets. As at  September 30, 1998,  the fair value of these net  assets
         approximated $201.5 million.

         Condensed   financial  information  regarding  the  Company,  the 8.32%
         Notes  Guarantor  Subsidiaries  and non-guarantor  subsidiaries  of the
         Company  is  set  out in  Schedule  A of these  consolidated  financial
         statements.

         As  at  September 30,  1998,  the Company  was committed to a series of
         interest  rate  swap  agreements  whereby $150 million of the Company's
         floating  rate  debt  was swapped with fixed rate obligations having an
         average   remaining  term  of 1.5 months.  The swap  agreements  expire
         between  October 1998 and December 1998. These arrangements effectively
         change  the  Company's  interest  rate exposure on $150 million of debt
         from a  floating  LIBOR  rate to an average  fixed  rate of 5.86%.  The
         Company is exposed to credit loss in the event  of  non-performance  by
         the  counter  parties to the interest  rate  swap  agreements; however,
         the  Company  does not anticipate non-performance by any of the counter
         parties.

         In  June 1998,  the Company  completed a public  offering of  7,000,000
         shares of Common  Stock,  of which 2,800,000  shares  were  offered  by
         the  Company  and   4,200,000  shares   were  offered  by   a   selling
         shareholder.  The  Company used its net  proceeds from the offering  of
         approximately  $68.8  million, together with other funds, to redeem the
         outstanding 9 5/8% Notes. (See Note 5 - Long Term Debt).

         The Company has reserved 1,841,750  shares of Common Stock for issuance
         upon exercise of options  granted pursuant to the Company's  1995 Stock
         Option Plan.  As at September 30, 1998,  options to purchase a total of
         1,728,866  shares of the Company's  Common Stock were  outstanding,  of
         which  731,460  options  were then exercisable  at prices  ranging from
         $21.50 to $33.50 per share.  The options  will expire  between July 19,
         2005 and June 13, 2008, ten years after the date of the grant.

         The  Company's  basic  earnings  per  share is based upon the following
         weighted   average  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock  outstanding:
         31,647,505  shares   and 30,481,906 shares for the three and six months

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

Teekay   Shipping   Corporation   (the  "Company")  is  a  leading   provider of
international  crude  oil  and  petroleum  product  transportation  services  to
major  oil  companies,  major oil traders, and government agencies,  principally
in the region spanning from the Red Sea to the U.S. West  Coast.  The  Company's
fleet   consists  of  47  tankers,  including   43   Aframax  oil  tankers   and
oil/bulk/ore   carriers   (including   five  vessels  time-chartered-in),  three
smaller  tankers,  and  one  Very  Large  Crude  Carrier  ("VLCC"),  for a total
cargo-carrying  capacity of approximately 4.7 million  tonnes. In addition,  the
Company  has  entered  into  an  agreement to purchase two  newbuilding  Aframax
tankers, which are scheduled for delivery in July and September 1999.

During the first half of fiscal  1999, approximately  59% of the  Company's  net
voyage  revenue were derived from spot  voyages.  The balance of  the  Company's
revenue is generated primarily by two other modes of  employment: time charters,
whereby vessels are chartered to customers for a fixed period;  and by contracts
of  affreightment ("COAs"),  whereby  the  Company carries an agreed quantity of
cargo  for  a  customer over a specified trade route over a specified  period of
time. In the first half of fiscal 1999, 15% of net voyage revenues was generated
by time charters  and COA's  priced on a spot market  basis.  In the  aggregate,
approximately  74% of the  Company's  net voyage  revenues during the first half
of  fiscal  1999  was  derived  from  spot  voyages or time  charters  and COA's
priced on a spot market basis,  with  the remaining 26% being derived from fixed
rate  time-charters  and  COA's.  This  dependence  on the spot market, which is
within   industry   norms,   contributes   to  the   volatility of the Company's
revenue, cash flow from operations, and net income.

Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical, experiencing  volatility in
profitability  and asset values  resulting  from  changes in the supply  of, and
demand for,  vessel  capacity.  Additionally,  tanker markets  have historically
exhibited seasonal  variations in charter rates.  Tanker markets  are  typically
stronger in the winter months as a result of increased  oil  consumption  in the
northern  hemisphere  and  unpredictable  winter  weather patterns which tend to
disrupt vessel scheduling.

In   December  1997,   the   Company   acquired   two vessels and related  shore
support   services   from  an  Australian affiliate of Caltex  Petroleum.  These
two  tankers,  together  with  one  of the Company's  existing  Aframax tankers,
have  been  time  chartered  to  the Caltex  affiliate  in  connection  with the
Company's   provision  of  Caltex's  oil  transportation  requirements  formerly
provided  by  that   affiliate.  The  Company  has converted one of its existing
vessels  to  a  floating   storage  and   off-loading  vessel,  which is sharing
crews with the vessels  employed in the Caltex  arrangement  (together  with the
other three vessels involved  in  the  arrangement,  the  "Australian Vessels").
Vessel  operating expenses for the Australian  Vessels are substantially  higher
than those for the rest of the Company's  fleet, primarily as a result of higher
costs  associated with employing an Australian  crew. The TCE rates (as  defined
below) for the  Australian  Vessels  are  correspondingly  higher to  compensate
for these increased  costs. During the first half of fiscal 1999, the Australian
Vessels  earned  net voyage  revenues and an average  TCE rate of $18.7  million
and  $25,855   respectively,  and  incurred  vessel  operating  expenses of $7.5
million or $10,250 on a per ship per day  basis. The results of the  Australian
Vessels   are   included   in  the  Company's  Consolidated Financial Statements
included herein.

Bulk shipping  industry  freight  rates are commonly  measured at the net voyage
revenue  level in terms of "time charter  equivalent" (or "TCE") rates,  defined
as  voyage  revenues less voyage  expenses  (excluding  commissions), divided by
revenue-generating  ship-days for the  round-trip  voyage.  Voyage  revenues and
voyage  expenses are a function of the type of charter,  either spot  charter or
time charter,  and port, canal and fuel costs depending on the trade  route upon
which  a  vessel  is  sailing,   in addition to being a function of the level of
shipping  freight rates.  For this reason, shipowners  base  economic  decisions
regarding  the  deployment  of their  vessels upon  anticipated  TCE rates,  and
industry  analysts  typically  measure  bulk  shipping  freight  rates in  terms
of TCE rates.  Therefore, the discussion of revenue below focuses  on net voyage
revenue and TCE rates.

Three  Months  Ended  September 30, 1998 versus Three Months Ended September 30,
1997

The  Company's  net income  before  extraordinary  items was $20.3  million,  or
64 cents per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, up from $12.3 million,
or 43 cents per share,  in the second  quarter of fiscal 1998. Net income  after
extraordinary  items was $13.0 million,  or 41 cents per  share, for the current
quarter, which included  an   extraordinary  loss of $7.3  million , or 23 cents
per   share,   arising   from  the   redemption   of the Company's  9 5/8% First
Preferred Ship Mortgage Notes (the "9 5/8%  Notes").  There were no asset  sales
in  the  current   quarter,   in  comparison to a gain on sale of assets of $3.9
million, or 14 cents per share, for the same quarter last year. The  improvement
in  earnings  is primarily the result of higher TCE rates and an increase in the
Company's fleet size. In the second  quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company  earned
an  average TCE rate of $22,187, up 11.9% from $19,834 in the second  quarter of
fiscal  1998.  The   Company's  average fleet size was 7.7% larger in the second
quarter of fiscal 1999 than in the second  quarter of fiscal 1998, as four older
tankers  were  sold  and  eight  newer vessels were added to the Company's fleet
(including three time-chartered-in  vessels) since the end of the second quarter
of fiscal 1998.

Aframax TCE rates on the  Gulf-East  routes  remained  firm  throughout  most of
the current  quarter but declined significantly  near the end of September 1998.
At  October  31, 1998,  average  Aframax TCE rates on the  Gulf-East routes,  as
published   by  industry  sources,  had dropped  nearly 50% from their peaks for
the  second   quarter  of fiscal 1999, and had declined to approximately  55% of
the average rates for the entire quarter. In the near-term, the Company believes
that  TCE  rates  will  remain  weak  as a result of a reduction  in oil demand,
particularly   in  Asia,   relatively high world oil inventories,  and the large
number of newbuilding  tankers that are expected to be delivered  over  the next
twelve  to  eighteen  months.  As a result of the  Company's  dependence  on the
tanker  spot  market, any decline in Aframax TCE rates will adversely affect the
Company's revenues and earnings.

Income from Vessel Operations

Income  from  vessel   operations   increased   36.1% from $21.9  million in the
second  quarter of fiscal 1998 to $29.8 million in the second  quarter of fiscal
1999,  mainly  as  a  result of the increase in TCE rates and an increase in the
Company's fleet size.

Net voyage  revenues were $88.6  million in the second  quarter of fiscal  1999,
an  increase of 22.9% from $72.1 million in the second  quarter of fiscal  1998.
The increase  mainly reflects a  combination  of the  Company's increased  fleet
size  and an improvement in TCE rates,  including the effect of higher TCE rates
earned by the four Australian Vessels.

Vessel   operating   expenses   include   crewing,    repairs  and  maintenance,
insurance,   stores   and   lubes,   and   miscellaneous   expenses,   including
communications.  Vessel  operating  expenses increased 12.9% to $21.0 million in
the  second  quarter of fiscal 1999 from $18.6 million in the second  quarter of
fiscal 1998, primarily as a result of higher crewing costs  associated  with the
Australian   Vessels  and  increases  in  crew  wage  rates and salaries for the
non-Australian crew, effective April 1, 1998.

Time-charter   hire   expense was $8.4  million in the second  quarter of fiscal
1999,  up from $2.8  million in the  second  quarter of fiscal 1998, as a result
of  an  average  of  5.0  vessels  time-chartered-in  by the Company  during the
second  quarter of fiscal  1999 as  compared  to an average of only 1.6  vessels
time-chartered-in  during the second quarter of fiscal 1998.

Depreciation   and   amortization  expense  decreased 1.2% from $23.9 million in
the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  1998 to $23.6 million in the second quarter of
fiscal  1999,  due  to lower  amortization  of  drydocking  costs in the current
quarter,   partially   offset by an  increase in average  cost of the  Company's
owned  vessels  resulting  from the modernization  of  the fleet during the past
year.  Depreciation  and   amortization   expense   included    amortization  of
drydocking   costs  of  $2.2   million  in  the  second  quarter of fiscal  1999
compared  to $3.1  million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998.

General  and  administrative  expenses  increased  18.2% to $5.8  million in the
second   quarter  of  fiscal  1999  from  $4.9 million in the second  quarter of
fiscal  1998,  mainly  as  a  result  of the hiring of  additional  personnel in
connection  with  the  expansion  of  the  Company's operations, particularly in
Australia.

Interest Expense

Interest  expense  decreased  25.9%  to  $10.9  million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1999, from $14.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1998, reflecting
a  combination  of  a  reduction  in the Company's total debt and lower interest
rates. In June 1998, the Company completed a public offering of its Common Stock
resulting in net proceeds to the Company of  approximately $69.0  million. These
net   proceeds,   together   with  other  funds,  were applied in August 1998 to
redeem the Company's outstanding 9 5/8% Notes.

Six  Months  Ended September 30, 1998 versus Six Months Ended September 30, 1997

Net  income  for the first half of fiscal  1999 before  extraordinary  items was
$45.7  million,  or $1.50 per share, compared to a net income of $26.3  million,
or  92  cents  per  share,  in the first half of fiscal  1998.  Net income after
extraordinary  items  was $38.4  million,  or $1.26  per  share,  for the  first
half of fiscal  1999.  This included an extraordinary  loss of $7.3 million,  or
24 cents per share,  arising from the redemption of the 9 5/8% Notes. Net income
for  the  first  half  of  fiscal  1999   included  gains on asset sales of $7.1
million,  or  23  cents  per  share,  compared to $3.9 million of gains on asset
sales,  or 14 cents per share,  for the same period one year ago.  The  increase
in earnings is mainly the result of an improvement  in TCE rates and an increase
in the size of the Company's  fleet.  The Company  earned an average TCE rate of
$22,146 in the first half of fiscal 1999, up 8.0% from $20,508 in the first half
of fiscal  1998.  Since  September  1997,  the Company  sold four older  vessels
and  added eight newer vessels to the fleet  (including three  time-chartered-in
vessels).  As  a  result,  the Company's fleet was 8.8% larger on average in the
first half of fiscal 1999 than during the first half of fiscal 1998.

Income from Vessel Operations

The combination of increased average TCE rates and a larger fleet  resulted in a
26.5%  increase  in  income  from vessel  operations,  to $60.8  million  in the
first half of fiscal 1999 from  $48.0  million in the first half of fiscal 1998.

Net  voyage   revenues  were  $175.2  million in the first half of fiscal  1999,
an   increase  of  20.0% from  $146.0 million in the first half of fiscal  1998.
This again reflects the  increase in the Company's fleet size and an improvement
in  TCE  rates,  including  the  effect  of  higher TCE rates earned by the four
Australian Vessels.

Vessel operating expenses  increased 14.2% to $41.8 million in the first half of
fiscal 1999  from  $36.6 million in the first half of fiscal  1998,  mainly as a
result  of  an  increase  in  crewing  costs  related to the  Australian Vessels
and  increases  in  crew  wage  rates  and salaries for the non-Australian crew,
effective April 1, 1998.

Time-charter   hire   expense  increased  to $13.6  million in the first half of
fiscal  1999  from $4.1 million in the first half,  as a result of an average of
4.0  vessels  time-chartered-in  by the Company  during the first half of fiscal
1999 as compared to an average of only 1.2 vessels time-chartered-in, during the
same period last year.

Depreciation  and  amortization   expense  for the first half of fiscal 1999 was
$47.9 million, up slightly from $47.6 million over the same period one year ago,
as  a  result of an increase in the average  cost per vessel and average size of
the Company's owned fleet,  partially offset by lower amortization of drydocking
costs during the current period. Depreciation and amortization expense  included
amortization  of  drydocking  costs  of $4.6 million in the first half of fiscal
1999 in comparison to $6.3 million in the first half of fiscal 1998.

General and administrative expenses  rose  14.4% to $11.1  million  in the first
half  of  fiscal   1999  from $9.7 million  in the  first  half of fiscal  1998,
mainly as a result of the expansion  of the  Company's  operations, particularly
in Australia.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased  13.5% to $24.9  million  in the first half of fiscal
1999 from $28.8  million in the first half of fiscal 1998,  primarily reflecting
a  reduction  in  the  Company's total debt as well as lower interest rates.  In
August 1998,  the Company  applied the net proceeds from its public  offering of
Common Stock, together with other funds, to redeem its outstanding 9 5/8% Notes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's  total  liquidity,  including  cash,  marketable  securities,  and
undrawn  long-term lines of credit, decreased to $179.9  million as at September
30, 1998 from $186.3  million as at  March 31, 1998.  The decrease was primarily
the result of the Company's  redemption of  its 9 5/8% Notes in  August 1998 and
progress  payments on the Company's two newbuildings,  offset in  part by, among
other  things,  proceeds  from  the Company's public offering of Common Stock in
June  1998,  cash  from  operations,  and proceeds from the  disposition  of two
older vessels. The Company received net proceeds of  approximately $69.0 million
in the public  offering,  which were used,  together with other funds, to redeem
the  outstanding  balance of the 9 5/8% Notes.  The redemption  resulted  in the
release  of   mortgages  on  the  six vessels  which  collateralized  the 9 5/8%
Notes,  making  a total of twelve  unencumbered vessels in the  Company's  fleet
as  at  September  30, 1998.

Net  cash  flow from  operating  activities  rose to $85.8  million in the first
half  of  fiscal  1999 as  compared to $74.5 million in the first half of fiscal
1998,  reflecting  the higher average TCE rates earned during the current fiscal
period and an increase in the size of the Company's fleet.

The Company's  scheduled  debt  repayments  were $40.0 million  during the first
half  of  fiscal  1999, up from $19.1 million in the first half of fiscal  1998,
mainly as a result of a $25 million  sinking fund payment on the 9 5/8% Notes in
July 1998.

<PAGE>18


Dividend  payments  during the first half of fiscal 1999 were $13.0 million,  or
43 cents per share, of which $12.6 million  was paid in cash and  the  remainder
was paid in  the form of  shares  of  Common  Stock  issued  under the Company's
dividend reinvestment plan.

During the first half of fiscal 1999, the Company incurred  capital expenditures
for vessels and  equipment of $41.9  million, consisting   mainly  of   payments
made  towards the two  newbuilding  double-hull  Aframax  tankers scheduled  for
delivery in July and September of 1999 and costs related  to the  conversion  of
a floating  storage  and off-loading  Australian Vessel. The Company intends  to
pay for the remaining cost of approximately $44 million for the two newbuildings
by using existing cash balances,  borrowings under the  Revolver or  other  debt
financing. Cash  expenditures for drydocking were $6.0 million in the first half
of fiscal 1999 compared to $9.6  million in  the  same   period  one  year  ago,
reflecting   a  reduction   in   scheduled drydockings.  Two older  vessels were
sold  during  the  first half of fiscal 1999, resulting in net proceeds of $23.4
million.

As part of its growth  strategy, the Company will continue to consider strategic
opportunities,   including   the  acquisition   of  additional  vessels  and the
expansion into new  markets. The Company may choose to pursue such opportunities
through internal growth, joint ventures, or business  acquisitions.  The Company
intends to finance any future  acquisitions  through various sources of capital,
including internally generated cash flow, existing credit lines, additional debt
borrowings, and the issuance of additional shares of capital stock.


YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The  Company  relies  on  computer systems and software to operate its business,
including applications used in chartering, shipping, communications, finance and
various  administrative  functions.   Because  certain software applications are
unable  to  appropriately interpret the calendar year 2000 and subsequent years,
some  level  of  modification  or  replacement  of  such  applications  will  be
necessary.

Since  December  1997,  the  Company has been actively engaged in achieving Year
2000  compliance  and  has formed a Year 2000 Compliance Task Force comprised of
employees  from  various  areas  of  the  organization.  The Company's Year 2000
compliance  project  has  been  divided into several phases.  First, the Company
completed  the  risk  prioritization phase to prioritize its efforts.  Second, a
full  inventory  of  all hardware and software applications, both shore-side and
ship-side,  has  been  completed  and only a few applications were found to have
Year  2000  issues,  none  of  which  the  Company  believes are critical to its
operations.  The  Company   is  undertaking   remedial   action   planning   and
implementation  to  modify or replace these applications.  Third, the Company is
undertaking  a  Year  2000  readiness  survey  with  its top customers, lenders,
suppliers and other organizations with which it conducts business.  The  Company
anticipates completion of the survey by December 1998.  Finally, the Company  is
currently  testing  remediated  systems  and  preparing  contingency plans as no
assurance can be given that all of the Company's systems will be Year 2000
compliant   or   that   its  customers,  lenders  or  suppliers  or  the   other
organizations  with  which  it  conducts  business  will  become fully Year 2000
compliant.

An  outside consultant has been hired to assist with the Year 2000 compliance of
the  Company's  shore-side  applications  while  ship-side  compliance  will  be
performed  primarily  by existing staff.  The target date for full compliance is
April 16, 1999.

Management does not expect Year 2000 compliance costs to have a material adverse
effect  on  the  Company.  Should  the  Company not achieve full compliance in a
timely  manner  or  complete  its  Year  2000  project  within  its current cost
estimates, the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations
could  be  adversely  affected.  However, in the event that the Company fails to
meet  the  deadlines  above, the Company believes that the financial impact will
not  be  material  since all systems believed by the Company to be critical have
already been identified as Year 2000 compliant.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This  Report  on  Form 6-K  for  the  quarterly  period ended September 30, 1998
contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange  Act  of 1934,  as amended)  which reflect  management's  current views
with  respect  to  future  events and financial  performance,  in particular the
statements   regarding   Aframax   TCE   rates in the near-term;  future capital
expenditures,  including expenditures for newbuilding vessels; and the Company's
growth strategy and expansion. The following  factors are among those that could
cause actual results to differ  materially  from the  forward-looking statements
and that should be  considered  in  evaluating  any such  statement:  changes in
production of or demand for oil and petroleum  products,  either generally or in
particular regions  including  Asia; the cyclical  nature of the tanker industry
and its  dependence on  oil markets;  greater than anticipated  levels of tanker
newbuilding  orders or less  than  anticipated  rates of tanker  scrapping;  the
supply of tankers available to meet the demand for transportation  of  petroleum
products;  changes in  trading patterns  significantly  impacting overall tanker
tonnage requirements;  changes in demand for modern, high quality  vessels;  the
Company's  dependence on spot oil voyages;  the  Company's  potential  inability
to achieve and manage growth; and  other  risks  detailed  from  time to time in

<PAGE>19


the  Company's  periodic  reports  filed  with the U.S. Securities and  Exchange
Commission.  The Company  may issue  additional written or oral  forward-looking
statements  from  time  to  time  which  are qualified in their  entirety by the
cautionary   statements  contained  in  this  paragraph  and  in  other  reports
hereafter filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
