                  TEEKAY SHIPPING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            (all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars)
          (Information as at December 31, 1997, and for the Three-Month
      and Nine-Month Periods Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 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, 1997. 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 nine-month  periods ended December 31, 1997 are
         not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

         Certain of the prior period comparative  figures have been reclassified
         where  necessary to conform with the  presentation  used in the current
         period.

2.       Marketable Securities

         Investments in marketable securities have been classified by management
         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  nine-month  periods ended  December 31,
         1997 and  1996  totalled  approximately  $33,782,000  and  $35,063,000,
         respectively.

4.       Income Taxes

         The legal  jurisdictions  of the countries in which the Company and its
         subsidiaries   are   incorporated  do  not  impose  income  taxes  upon
         shipping-related   activities,   except  for  three  of  the  Company's
         Australian  subsidiaries  which are subject to an annual  effective tax
         rate  of  approximately  36%.  Income  taxes  for the  interim  periods
         presented  are not  material  and  therefore,  have not  been  included
         herein.

5.       Long-Term Debt (cont'd)

         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  December
         31, 1997, the fair value of these net assets approximated $278 million.

         The 9 5/8% First  Preferred  Ship Mortgage Notes due July 15, 2003 (the
         "9 5/8% Notes") are collateralized by first preferred  mortgages on six
         of the Company's  Aframax tankers,  together with certain other related
         collateral,  and are guaranteed by six  subsidiaries of Teekay that own
         the mortgaged vessels (the "9 5/8% Notes Guarantor  Subsidiaries") to a
         maximum of 95% of the fair value of their net  assets.  As at  December
         31, 1997, the fair value of these net assets approximated $190 million.

         During the nine months ended December 31, 1997, the Company repurchased
         $24.3 million of the 9 5/8% Notes.

         Condensed financial information regarding the Company, the 9 5/8% Notes
         Guarantor  Subsidiaries,  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  December  31,  1997 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 10.5  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 5.85%.  The
         Company is exposed to credit  loss in the event of  non-performance  by
         the  counter  parties  to the  interest  rate swap and cap  agreements;
         however, the Company does not anticipate  non-performance by any of the
         counter parties.

         exercise   prices  ranging  from  $21.50  to  $33.50  per  share.   All

         Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128 ("SFAS  128"),
         "Earnings  per Share".  SFAS 128 requires  dual  presentation  of basic
         earnings  per  share  ("EPS")  and  diluted  EPS  on  the  face  of all
         statements of earnings  ending after December 15, 1997 for all entities
         with complex capital  structures.  The Company's EPS has been presented
         in conformity with SFAS 128.

8.       Commitments and Contingencies

         As at December 31, 1997, the Company was committed to the purchase of a
         modern second-hand  Aframax tanker and a newbuilding Aframax tanker for
         a total cost of $72.4 million, both of which are scheduled for delivery
         in March 1998. These  acquisitions will be financed with existing lines
         of  credit  and  cash  balances.  The  Company  was also  committed  to
         time-charter-in  a modern  second-hand  Aframax  tanker for a period of
         three years, commencing in the summer of 1998.

9.       Subsequent Events

         Subsequent  to  December  31,  1997,  the  Company  entered  into a new
         revolving  credit facility (the  "Revolver") with nine commercial banks
         providing  for  borrowings  of up to $200 million in order to refinance
         $105 million of existing floating rate debt and to replace the existing
         revolving  credit  facility.  The Revolver is  collateralized  by first
         priority mortgages granted on eight of the Company's vessels,  together
         with certain other related collateral, and a guarantee from the Company
         for all amounts  outstanding  under the Revolver.  The amount available
         under the Revolver reduces by $20 million annually  commencing  January
         1999, together with a final balloon reduction coincident with the final
         annual reduction in January 2006.  Interest payments are based on LIBOR
         plus a  margin  ranging  from  0.50%  to  0.75%  which  depends  on the
         financial leverage of the Company.

                                December 31, 1997
                         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  current
operating  fleet  consists of 44 tankers,  including  39 Aframax oil tankers and
oil/bulk/ore  carriers (including two vessels  time-chartered-in),  four smaller
tankers, and one VLCC, for a total cargo-carrying  capacity of approximately 4.3
million tonnes.  The Company is also committed to the purchase of two additional
Aframax tankers, which are scheduled for delivery in March 1998.

Approximately  70% of the Company's net voyage revenue is currently derived from
spot  voyages.  The balance of the  Company's  revenue is generated by two other
modes of employment:  time charters,  whereby vessels are chartered to customers
for a fixed period; and 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  aggregate,  approximately  87% of the
Company's  net voyage  revenue is  currently  derived  from spot voyages or spot
market-  related COAs and  time-charters.  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. Management believes that the
Company has a competitive advantage over other tanker owners in the Aframax spot
market.  Management  also  believes  that the  Company's  dependence on the spot
market will decrease by  approximately  10%  commencing in the fourth quarter of
fiscal  1998 as a result  of the  long-term  Australian  contracts  the  Company
entered  into in December  1997 (see Item 5 of Part II below).  The Company will
operate three vessels on time-charter at fixed rates for periods ranging from 10
to 13 years and one floating  storage off loading (FSO) facility on time-charter
at fixed rates for a period of 8 to 14 years.

Historically, the tanker industry has been cyclical,  experiencing volatility in
profitability  resulting  from  changes in the supply of and demand for tankers.
Additionally,  tanker  markets have  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.

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 December 31, 1997 versus Three Months Ended December 31, 1996

The Company's net income was $28.6 million,  or 99 cents per share, in the third
quarter of fiscal 1998, which includes  $10.5  million,  or 36 cents per share, 
in gains on asset  sales.  In comparison, the Company earned $9.9 million, or 35
cents per share, in the third quarter  of  fiscal  1997,  which did not  include
any gains or losses on asset sales.  A  combination of firm freight  rate levels
for Aframax tankers in the Indo-Pacific basin and lower bunker fuel costs during
the third quarter of fiscal 1998 contributed to a stronger quarter in comparison
to one year ago.

Income from Vessel Operations

The  improvement  in freight rates  resulted in a 27.0%  increase in income from
vessel  operations,  from $24.4  million in the third  quarter of fiscal 1997 to
$31.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.

The  Company's  fleet was 3.9% larger on average in the third  quarter of fiscal
1998 than in the third  quarter of fiscal 1997.  During the first nine months of
fiscal  1998,  the Company  added four modern  Aframax  tankers  (including  two
time-chartered-in  vessels) and two product tankers to its fleet, and sold three
older Aframax tankers.

Net voyage  revenues  increased  15.0% to $80.7  million in the third quarter of
fiscal  1998,  from $70.1  million in the third  quarter  of fiscal  1997.  This
reflects the increase in average fleet size as well as higher TCE rates,  as the
Company's  fleet  earned an average TCE rate of $22,613 in the third  quarter of
fiscal 1998, up 12.6% from $20,076 in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.

Total operating expenses increased by 8.6% to $49.9 million in the third quarter
of fiscal  1998,  from  $45.8  million  in the  third  quarter  of fiscal  1997,
primarily as a result of the two  time-chartered-in  vessels  which were part of
the  current   quarter's   fleet,   as  well  as  an  increase  in  general  and
administrative  expenses  associated  with  the  negotiation  of  the  long-term
Australian contracts the Company entered into during the third quarter of fiscal
1998 (see  Items 5 of Part II  below).  Depreciation  and  amortization  expense
included  amortization of drydocking  costs of $2.8 million in the third quarter
of fiscal 1998 and $2.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased 12.9% to $13.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal
1998,  from $15.5  million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997,  reflecting  the
reduction in the Company's average debt balance which was partly attributable to
the  repurchase of $24.3 million of 9 5/8% First  Preferred  Ship Mortgage Notes
during fiscal 1998. In addition,  the fiscal 1997 amount includes  approximately
$400,000  in  prepayment  penalties  incurred  as a result of debt  refinancings
completed in October 1996;  no such  prepayment  penalties  were incurred in the
current  quarter.  The Company's  total debt increased at the end of the current
quarter  to  approximately  the same  level as one year ago,  as a result of the
acquisition of vessels near the end of the quarter. See "--Liquidity and Capital
Resources".

Nine Months Ended December 31, 1997 versus Nine Months Ended December 31, 1996

The Company's  net income was $54.9  million,  or $1.92 per share,  in the first
nine months of fiscal 1998, up from $24.4 million, or 87 cents per share, in the
first  nine  months of fiscal  1997,  reflecting  an  improvement  in the tanker
charter market  accompanied by a relatively stable cost environment . Net income
for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 included  gains on asset sales of $14.4
million,  or 50 cents per share,  while  there  were no asset  sales in the same
period of the prior year.

Income from Vessel Operations

The combination of increased average TCE rates and a larger fleet operating in a
relatively  stable cost environment  resulted in a 17.9% increase in income from
vessel operations, to $79.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 from
$67.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1997.

In the first nine months of fiscal 1998,  the Company  chartered-in  two Aframax
tankers,  added a new Aframax tanker and three modern second-hand tankers to its
fleet,  and sold three older Aframax tankers.  As a result, the  Company's fleet
was 4.4% larger on average in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 in comparison
to the first nine months of fiscal 1997.

Net voyage revenues were $226.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1998,
an increase of 10.7% as  compared  to the first nine months of fiscal  1997.  In
addition  to the  increase  in the  Company's  fleet  size,  this  reflects  the
improvement in tanker charter market  conditions,  as the Company's fleet earned
an average TCE rate of $21,211 in the first nine months of fiscal 1998,  up 7.5%
from $19,732 in the first nine months of fiscal 1997.

Total  operating  expenses  increased  7.2% to $147.7  million in the first nine
months of fiscal  1998,  from $137.8  million in the first nine months of fiscal
1997,  primarily as a result of the increase in the size of the Company's fleet.
In addition,  depreciation  and amortization  expense  included  amortization of
drydocking  costs of $9.2  million  in the first nine  months of fiscal  1998 in
comparison  to $7.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1997,  reflecting
the larger than usual number of scheduled drydockings during the past two fiscal
years.

Interest Expense

Interest  expense  decreased  8.9% to $42.2  million in the first nine months of
fiscal  1998,  from  $46.3  million  in the first  nine  months of fiscal  1997,
reflecting the reduction in both the Company's  average debt balance and average
interest rate which resulted from debt refinancings and principal prepayments.

The following table illustrates the relationship between fleet size (measured in
ship-days),  time charter  equivalent  ("TCE") per  revenue-generating  ship-day
performance, and operating results per calendar ship-day:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's  total  liquidity,  including  cash,  marketable  securities,  and
undrawn  long-term lines of credit,  was $254.4 million as at December 31, 1997,
virtually  unchanged from $258.6 million as of the beginning of the fiscal year.
The  Company  has used its  operating  cash flow during the first nine months of
fiscal 1998 for capital expenditures.

Net cash flow from  operating  activities  was $126.9  million in the first nine
months of fiscal  1998,  compared to $106.1  million in the first nine months of
fiscal 1997, reflecting an improvement in tanker charter market conditions,  the
increase in the size of the  Company's  fleet,  and a reduction  in net interest
expense.

During  the first nine  months of fiscal  1998,  the  Company  incurred  capital
expenditures for vessels and equipment of $123.7 million,  primarily as a result
of the acquisition of two Aframax tankers, the newbuilding HAMANE SPIRIT and the
1990-built TORRES SPIRIT,  and two second-hand  product tankers,  the BARRINGTON
and PALMERSTON.  These vessel  acquisitions  were financed with $79.6 million of
additional  bank debt,  and the balance  with  surplus  operating  cash flow and
proceeds  from the sale of three of its older Aframax  tankers  during the first
nine  months  of  fiscal  1998,   which  amounted  to  $33.9  million.   Capital
expenditures  for drydocking  were higher than average,  at $14.7 million in the
first nine  months of fiscal  1998,  reflecting  a larger  than usual  number of
scheduled drydockings. The Company is also committed to the purchase of a modern
second-hand  Aframax tanker and a newbuilding  Aframax tanker, both of which are
scheduled to be delivered  during the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1998,  for $72.4
million in  aggregate  cost.  It is  intended  that these  acquisitions  will be
financed  through  operating  cash  flow,  existing  lines of  credit,  and cash
balances.

Scheduled  debt  repayments  were $32.7 million  during the first nine months of
fiscal 1998, up from $13.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1997, as a
result of debt  refinancings  which have occurred over the past fifteen  months.
During the first nine  months of fiscal  1998,  in addition  to  scheduled  debt
repayments, the Company repurchased a principal amount of $24.3 million of its 9
5/8% First  Preferred  Ship  Mortgage  Notes and  prepaid  $18.0  million of its
floating rate debt.

Subsequent to December 31, 1997,  the Company  refinanced  approximately  $105.0
million of its floating rate debt and replaced the existing corporate  revolving
credit facility with a new $200 million corporate revolving credit facility (the
"Revolver") at improved rates and credit terms.  The amount  available under the
Revolver reduces by $20.0 million  annually  commencing in January 1999, and the
Revolver has a final  maturity  date in January  2006.  As at the end of January
1998, the undrawn amount available under the Revolver was $95.0 million.

Dividend  payments  during  the first  nine  months of  fiscal  1998 were  $18.4
million,  or 64.5 cents per share,  of which $10.2  million was paid in cash and
$8.2 million was paid in the form of common  shares  issued under the  Company's
dividend reinvestment plan.


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This  Report  on Form 6-K for the  quarterly  period  ended  December  31,  1997
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 certain  future events and financial  performance,  in particular the
statements  regarding  the  Company's  competitive  advantage  over other tanker
owners in the Aframax spot market, seasonal variations in the tanker market, and
the Company's future  dependence on the spot market.  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;  greater  than
anticipated  levels of tanker  newbuilding orders or less than anticipated rates
of tanker scrapping; changes in trading patterns significantly impacting overall
tanker tonnage

requirements;  unanticipated  changes in laws and  regulations and the Company's
ability to comply with all existing and future laws and regulations;  changes in
demand for modern,  high quality  vessels;  risks incident to vessel  operation,
including  pollution;  whether,  as is typical,  oil consumption in the northern
hemisphere will increase in the fall and winter months and unpredictable weather
patterns in the winter months will tend to disrupt  vessel  scheduling,  factors
that  historically have resulted in increased oil price volatility and increased
oil trading activity; significant changes in the Company's fleet size; and other
risks  detailed from time to time in the Company's  periodic  reports filed with
the U.S.  Securities  and Exchange  Commission.  Certain of these factors affect
whether oil consumption growth is met by increased production in the Mideast, or
by suppliers  closer to markets,  a variable  which  affects  tonne-mile  demand
growth.  The  Company  may  issue  additional  written  or oral  forward-looking
statements  from  time to time  which are  qualified  in their  entirety  by the
cautionary  statement  contained in this paragraph and in other reports filed by
the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

         On December 10,  1997,  the Company  entered into a long-term  contract
with  Apache  Energy  Limited  ("Apache")  to  provide a  floating  storage  and
offloading  (FSO)  facility for their Stag Field  development,  which is located

1989-built  BARRINGTON and the 1990-built  PALMERSTON.  The Company is operating
these  two  vessels,  along  with one of its  existing  Aframax  tankers,  under
long-term  time-charter  contracts  with  APPL.  In  addition,  the  Company  is
operating an APPL Aframax tanker under a management agreement.
