Bjorn Moller 
President and CEO 

“In my report last year I stated our belief that the tanker market was poised
for an upturn from its then depressed levels. As it turned out, we were correct
about  the  direction  of  the  market  but  we  certainly  could  not  have  predicted
freight rates soaring to levels not seen in more than 25 years!”

Strong Financial Performance

While  the  strong  rise  in  tanker  rates  was  certainly 
the highlight of the year, it was satisfying to see the
payoff  for  our  considerable  efforts  in  recent  years
positioning Teekay for just such a market upswing.
These efforts included: increasing our exposure to the
market  with  well-timed  fleet  growth;  increasing  our
fleet  utilization  by  building  a  portfolio  of  attractive
contracts  of  affreightment;  and  continuous  improve-
ment initiatives aimed at optimizing operational per-
formance and cost efficiency. The combined effect of
these resulted in an outstanding year 2000 for Teekay.

Maintaining significant exposure to the spot market
meant that the effect of the rising market on Teekay's

earnings  was  both  immediate  and  dramatic. Time

charter equivalent (TCE) rates per calendar day for

our international Aframax tanker fleet rose through-

out the year, averaging $17,500 in the first quarter

and  increasing  to  an  average  of  $33,400  in  the 

fourth quarter. For the year, we averaged over $25,000

compared with $12,300 in the previous fiscal period.

Our Australian fleet, including our Floating Storage

and Offtake (FSO) vessel performed well and main-

tained attractive earnings under long term contracts.

Our OBO segment enjoyed strengthening rates and

generated  good  cash  flow  during  the  year. This

increase in  TCE  rates  resulted  in  strong  financial

performance.  Net  income  for  the  fiscal  year  ended
December 31, 2000 was $270.0 million, or $6.86 per
share fully diluted, compared to a net loss of $19.6
million,  or  $0.54  per  share  for  the  shortened  nine-
month  fiscal  period  ended  one  year  earlier.  Return
on shareholders’ equity for the year was 25%. 

EBITDA for the year was $449.2 million. The strength
of our cash flow had a positive effect on our balance
sheet,  bringing  net  debt  down  to  34.3%  of  total 
capitalization by the end of the year.

Strong Market Fundamentals

When analyzing the rise in rates it is interesting to
note  that  the  market  was  not  only  driven  by 
transitory  cyclical  events  but  also  by  positive 
structural developments in the tanker industry.

Global oil production rose by 2.6 million barrels per
day  or  3.5%  in  2000.  Most  of  this  incremental 
production originated from the Middle East, marking
a  significant  shift  from  the  1990s.  Because  of  their
requirement  for  long  haul  tanker  transportation,
Middle  East  oil  exports  are  particularly  good  for
tanker  demand.  On  the  supply  side,  the  world's
tanker fleet grew by a modest 2.2%, insufficient to
keep pace with demand growth. The net effect was
to  stretch  tanker  capacity  utilization  close  to  its
practical limit for the first time since the early 1970s,
causing  freight  rates  to  rise  dramatically.  In  early
2001,  we  have  seen  production  cuts  by  OPEC  in
anticipation  of  seasonal  post-winter  weaknesses  in
oil demand. OPEC will almost certainly reverse these
cuts, and possibly raise production further later this
year as world oil consumption continues to grow.

Another structural development driving the freight
market higher was the increasing 'flight to quality'
by charterers this past year. A spate of high profile 
casualties  involving  old  tankers  increased  the 
preference  for  modern,  high  quality  tankers  and,
consequently,  the  freight  differential  willing  to  be

paid  to  charter  these  ships.  Teekay  was  a  major 
beneficiary  of  this  trend  due  to  the  high  quality 
reputation of our modern fleet.

Positioned to Deliver

Since the last cycle, we have improved and reposi-
tioned Teekay's fleet. In 2000, we were rewarded for
our  timely  acquisition  of  Bona  Shipholding  during
the  weak  market  in  1999,  increasing  our  fleet  by
almost 50%. This proved to be significantly accretive
to our earnings per share last year. In the early part
of 2000, we added to our fleet through a combination
of second-hand purchases and in-chartering of third
party  tonnage.  Disciplined  timing  of  fleet  growth
over  the  past  few  years  has  steadily  lowered  our
average cost of assets and reduced TCE net income
breakeven from $16,100 in 1995 to $13,100 per day

in 2000. Our 75-ship fleet ensures considerable oper-
ating leverage: each $1,000 per day TCE we generate
above  our  net  income  breakeven  translates  into  an
additional  57  cents  per  share  in  annual  earnings,
fully diluted. 

To  maximize  charter  revenues  we  concentrate  our
tonnage in the world's most quality sensitive regions
and  pursue  a  backhaul  and  parceling  strategy  that
generates superior capacity utilization for our fleet.
Recent  consolidation  among  oil  companies  has
resulted in a market with fewer, larger customers. As
these  customers  streamline  their  procurement
processes they are increasingly looking to suppliers

capable  of  delivering  reliable  service  on  a  global
basis at competitive prices. Our large, uniform fleet
is ideally suited to service this need. During 2000,
we  further  increased  the  number  of  high  volume
contracts that maximize our fleet utilization.

This past year we continued our aggressive pursuit
of  optimized  fleet  operations  and  cost  efficiency.
Our  integration  of  the  Bona  fleet  was  successfully
completed  with  realized  cost  synergies  exceeding
the  target  of  $10  million  per  year.  Our  cross-func-
tional Ship Teams, now in their second year, raised
the efficiency of our fleet, while our Standards and

a great deal of time recruiting resources to

our  organization.  In  particular, we  made

some  important  additions  to  our  global

management  team  in  a  variety of  regions

over the past year."

Policy Teams reduced costs through innovation and
through leveraging Teekay's buying power, resulting
in a 10% cost reduction in per-day vessel operating
expenses in 2000 versus the previous year.

Positive Outlook

The market outlook for the next three to five years is
bright  for  our  industry  in  general,  and  for  global,
high  quality  service  providers  like  Teekay  in 
particular.  A  major  milestone  is  expected  in  April
2001  when  the  IMO,  the  international  maritime
regulatory  body,  is  scheduled  to  vote  on  a  bill  to
accelerate  the  mandatory  phase-out  of  old  tankers,
which  could  force  the  scrapping  of  approximately
28% of the existing world fleet during the next five
years. Such a massive phase-out would finally remove
the mid-1970s tanker delivery boom that has created
a  supply  overhang  for  our  industry  for  the  past  25

years.  Replacing  this  tonnage  and  meeting  growing
demand  for  oil  transportation  will  stretch  the  capa-
bilities of the world's shipbuilding yards, which are
already substantially full through mid-2003.

Building Teekay’s Brand

We believe that we are in the early stage of a trans-
formation in which oil companies will offer a growing
proportion of their business to large, well capitalized,
full service tanker companies. As an acknowledged
industry leader, Teekay is in an excellent position to
more  fully  develop  what  is  already  a  recognized
brand  of  quality  and  service.  In  keeping  with  this
focus, we announced on March 6, 2001 our acquisi-
tion  of  a  controlling  interest  in  Norway's  Ugland
Nordic  Shipping  ASA,  one  of  the  world's  largest
operators of shuttle tankers with a fleet of 14 vessels
plus four newbuildings on order. 

We  have  identified  the  shuttle  tanker  market  as  an
area  of  significant  opportunity  consistent  with
Teekay's operationally intensive and customer-focused
strategy. Further expansion of our services in the off-
shore marine market is a natural extension of our core
competencies and  will  allow  us  to  further  broaden
the services that we can offer to our customers on a
global basis. This is consistent with our mission to
be the first choice of our customers and will provide
us with a solid growth platform.

I wish to thank all my colleagues in Teekay, ashore
and on board ship, for their hard work and commit-
ment to building Teekay into a leader in our industry.
I am pleased that all our groundwork is paying off.
You  have  every  right  to  be  proud  of  the  role  you
have played in making sure that "Teekay is here", at
the right place, at the right time.

Tanker Supply/Demand Dynamics 

The oil tanker market is governed by the demand for
sea-based  oil  transportation  and  the  supply  of  oil
tankers, the balance of which is reflected in tanker
TCE rates. Volatility in these rates is created by rapid
fluctuations in demand in response to changes in the
world oil markets, while oil tanker supply responds
much slower due to shipyard lead times. For the past
25  years  the  effect  of  these  fluctuations  has  been
cushioned by a surplus of tanker supply. This surplus,
although  difficult  to  measure,  appears  to  have
diminished significantly, causing a sharp increase in
the volatility of tanker rates in 2000.

Tanker demand is, in the short term, driven by the
growth in oil consumption and the level of oil pro-
duction. In the medium term, oil production reverts
to  tracking  oil  demand.  As  a  result,  oil  demand
growth is a good indicator of future tanker demand

growth.  As  can  be  seen  in  the  graph  below,  oil
demand is  closely  linked  to  world  GDP.    Another
factor  affecting  tanker  demand  is  the  average dis-
tance  over  which  crude  oil  is  carried  by  sea  from
the production wellhead to the refinery. The further
the  oil  travels  the  more  tonnage  required  to  move
the oil.

Tanker  supply  is  affected  by  the  number  of  new-
buildings delivered into the market and by the rate
at  which  older  vessels  are  being  scrapped. The
decision by  a  tanker  owner  to  scrap  a  vessel  is  in
large  part  driven  by  its  age,  current/projected
income and the cost of any modifications required as
it goes through periodic special surveys. Older vessels,
which  are  more  expensive  to  maintain,  eventually
reach  a  point  where  it  is  no  longer  economic  for
them to be maintained.

The 2000 tanker market was characterized by high
capacity utilization, with little or no spare tonnage,
particularly modern tonnage, in the existing world
fleet  to  transport  increases  in  oil  production. The
"Erika" oil spill incident was a catalyst that height-
ened the awareness of environmental risk associated
with  chartering  the  large  number  of  ageing  1970’s
built tankers still in the world fleet, increasing the
demand for modern tonnage. As a result, charterers
were  willing  to  pay  a  premium  for  young,  high 
quality  tonnage.  Aframax TCE  rates  which  started
the  year  at  a  low  of  $15,000  per  day,  climbed 
dramatically to over $50,000 per day by year end. 

in  March,  700  mbpd  in  June,  800  mbpd  in

September  and  500  mbpd  in  November.  Overall,

OPEC had increased production by 3.7 mbpd during

2000. Global oil production increased from an aver-

age 74.1  mbpd  in  1999  to  76.7  mbpd  in  2000.  Oil

production in the fourth quarter of 2000 peaked at

78.2 mbpd. In addition to increases in OPEC produc-

tion, a disproportionately large share of incremental

oil  production  originated  in  the  Middle  East,  the

source  of  the  world's  only  meaningful  spare  oil 

production  capacity.  This  boosted  tanker  demand,

as the transportation of the Middle East oil exports

is tanker intensive.

In 1999, oil production cutbacks by OPEC producers
resulted  in  a  significant  drawdown  of  world  oil
inventory levels, lowering tanker demand and TCE
rates,  and  causing  scrapping  of  old  tonnage  to
reach its highest level in 14 years. In 2000, increased
oil  demand  and  replenishment  of  low  inventory
levels  supported  production  increases  throughout
the  year.  OPEC  responded  to  this  escalating oil
demand  by  increasing  production  four  times 
during the year: 1.7 mbpd (million barrels per day)

Total  tanker  supply  grew  by  6.7  mdwt  (million 

dead  weight  tonnes)  or  2.2%  in  2000  over  1999.

Newbuilding tanker  deliveries  rose  to  21.2  mdwt

from  20.3  mdwt  in  1999.  Strong  TCE  rates  caused

scrapping to decrease to 14.7 mdwt in 2000 compared

to  17.8  mdwt  in  1999.  There  were  23  Aframaxes

delivered  in  2000  compared  to  51  in  1999,  while

scrapping decreased from 34 Aframaxes in 1999 to 20

Aframaxes in 2000.

On the tanker demand side, we face low oil inventories, grow-

ing oil demand, spare oil reserves located in long haul locations

and a flight to quality increasing competition for tankers. On

the supply side, there is little spare capacity, an ageing world

fleet and full orderbooks through mid-2003.

Proposed IMO Phase-Out= 85mdwt or 28% of
World tanker fleet from 2002 to 2005
Existing IMO Regulations= 25 mdwt or 8% of
World tanker fleet from 2002 to 2005

In summary, the world tanker fleet is currently operating at close to full

capacity. New IMO regulations could significantly decrease tanker supply

through 2005 with insufficient newbuilds on order to cover the ensuing

shortfall.  Meanwhile,  oil  demand  is  growing  and  spare  oil  capacity  is 

confined to remote long haul locations in the Middle East.

The Year Ahead

OPEC decreased production in early 2001 in antici-
pation  of  seasonally  weaker  demand  in  the  second
quarter. However, the world economy, which is the
main  driver  of  oil  demand,  is  still  growing,  albeit
not  as  rapidly  as  in  2000.  The  IEA  (International
Energy  Agency)  estimates  that  global  oil  demand
will increase by 2% in 2001 compared with 1% in
2000,  while  world  oil  inventory  levels  at  year-end
were  still  well  below  normal  levels.  Much  of  the
incremental  production  required  to  meet  this
increase  in  oil  demand  is  expected  to  come  from
Middle East OPEC, which requires long haul tanker
transportation to markets.

Newbuilding deliveries into the world fleet in 2001
are expected to be 16.9 mdwt - well below the 21.2
mdwt  delivered  in  2000.  With  the  newbuilding
orderbook  full  for  2001  and  2002,  the  typical  lead
time  for  delivery  of  a  new  vessel  is  now  into  mid-
2003.  Both  of  these  elements  will  continue  to 
constrain  tanker  supply.  In  October  2000  the  IMO

(International  Maritime  Organization  –  The  UN’s
specialized  agency  responsible  for  improving  mar-
itime safety  and  preventing  pollution  from  ships)
passed a draft proposal accelerating the phase-out of
single hull tankers. Under the old regulations, ships
were forced out of the fleet at age 30. This accelerated
phase-out  will  place  pressure  on  tanker  supply  as
1970’s built tankers are removed from the fleet. 

Under  the  old  IMO  regulations,  8%  of  the  world
tanker  fleet  effectively  faces  scrapping  by  2005.
Under  the  proposed  regulations,  this  increases  to
28%. Although the draft proposals have faced little
opposition, there have been discussions surrounding
a  change  in  the  effective  scrapping  dates  from
January 1 in any given year to the anniversary date
of a vessel’s delivery. Such a change would extend
the phase-out by approximately six months for the
average vessel. The final legislation is to be passed at
the  IMO’s  46th  MEPC  (Marine  Environmental
Protection Committee) meeting in April 2001.

The cargo:

80,000 tonnes of heavy

crude loading in Dumai, Indonesia for discharge

at a port in Western Australia. The oil company

(charterer) calls a number of brokers to obtain

offers from suitable suppliers (shipowners).

Brokers then contact shipowners who may

have vessels meeting the charterer’s require-

ments. Teekay Singapore receives brokers’

requests for offers and establishes that Teekay’s

MV Palmstar Rose meets the optimum criteria,

including port constraints and cargo space.

Currently, MV Palmstar Rose is en route to

South Korea with a cargo of fuel oil loaded 

in Los Angeles and San Francisco, estimated

discharge date June 5 and departure date of

June 6. Teekay Singapore selects the most

appropriate broker and submits an offer.

Negotiations are concluded and the
voyage is awarded to MV Palmstar
Rose subject to management
approval, cargo deal and terminal
acceptance within 24 hours.
Twenty-four hours later the charter-
er lifts these subjects and confirms
the fixture on MV Palmstar Rose.
The vessel is now fully fixed for her
next voyage.

Teekay Singapore sends fixture 
information to Team Lynx, the ship
team in Vancouver responsible for
MV Palmstar Rose. Upon arrival 
in the office, team members work
together with the vessel Master and
senior officers to coordinate a voy-
age plan that incorporates loading
bunkers, taking on stores, crew
changes, vessel spare parts delivery,
maintenance plans and also takes
into account tank preparation required
for the next cargo.

The voyage plan requires MV
Palmstar Rose to make a six-hour 
port stop in Singapore prior to
loading in Dumai in order to take
on bunkers, make a crew change
and receive supplies. Team Lynx 
in Vancouver contacts: staff in
Glasgow to arrange the crew
changeover (who then coordinate
this with Teekay India and Teekay
Philippines); the purchasing depart-
ment in Vancouver regarding spare
parts to be delivered; and the local
port agent in Singapore to assist
with and optimize the in-port 
logistics when the vessel is in
port. Meanwhile, MV Palmstar Rose
continues en route to South Korea. 

Team Lynx receives a report from
MV Palmstar Rose that the ship 
will be delayed berthing in South
Korea due to bad weather. This will
in turn mean a delay leaving, there-
fore, MV Palmstar Rose will 
not be able to meet the Dumai load
date. Teekay Singapore chartering
examines the location of Teekay’s
fleet for another vessel that can be
substituted to fulfill the fixture.
(Teekay’s homogenous fleet of simi-
lar-sized tankers makes this possi-
ble.) It appears MV Palmstar Orchid,
a sister ship, would be able to
make the load date in Dumai. This
option is offered to the charterer
who screens the MV Palmstar
Orchid to ensure the vessel meets
their stringent criteria and confirms
this is an acceptable replacement.

MV Palmstar Orchid is managed
by the same ship team, Team
Lynx. The team produces another
voyage plan for the new vessel
through discussions with each
other and the Master of MV
Palmstar Orchid. Unlike the pre-
vious plan, MV Palmstar Orchid
doesn’t need a port stop in
Singapore to take on bunkers,
crew or supplies; she is able to
sail directly to Dumai. Details of
new voyage plan are confirmed
to charterer.  

Further new developments.
The charterer contacts the
Marine Manager who provides
local support in Teekay
Singapore, advising that two
different grades of heavy
crude are to be loaded at
Dumai. The Marine Manager
discusses the requirement
with Team Lynx and the vessel
then confirms to the charterer
that this can be done.
Subsequently, voyage orders 
are issued confirming cargo
requirements and ordering the
vessel to proceed to Kwinana,
W. Australia for discharge.

MV Palmstar Orchid arrives in
Dumai on schedule. Pre-load
meetings are conducted
between the crew and terminal
staff to validate the prepared
load plan. Safety checks and
documentation are completed.
The required quantities of the
two different cargos are loaded
and the ship sails for Kwinana.
Throughout the voyage, the
ship is in constant contact
with Team Lynx to update the
charterer about location and
estimated arrival time.

In the meantime, Teekay
Singapore is again active in
arranging a backhaul cargo 
of crude oil to be loaded from
offshore terminal at Griffin
Venture, W. Australia bound
for Ulsan, S. Korea. The team
also notifies the Captain that
an annual vetting inspection
by one of the oil majors will
take place during discharge 
of cargo at Kwinana.

Pre-arrival checks are conducted
aboard MV Palmstar Orchid prior
to berthing at Kwinana. After
berthing, the crew discusses the
discharge plan with the terminal
and discharging of cargo com-
mences. Crude oil washing of
cargo tanks takes place during
discharge to reduce residues. An
independent tank inspector con-
ducts a thorough vessel inspec-
tion for one of the oil majors.
After discharging, documentation
is completed and the vessel
leaves Kwinana bound for Griffin
Venture to load another cargo
bound for Ulsan, South Korea.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 

and Results of Operations

Teekay  changed  its  fiscal  year  end  from  March  31  to
December 31, effective December 31, 1999, in order to
facilitate comparison of its operating results to those of
other companies in the transportation industry.

General

Teekay  is  a  leading  provider  of  international  crude
oil and petroleum product transportation services to
major  oil  companies,  major  oil  traders  and  govern-
ment  agencies  worldwide.  The  Company’s  fleet
consists  of  75  vessels  (including  five  vessels  time-
chartered-in  and  three  vessels  owned  by  a  joint
venture),  for  a  total  cargo-carrying  capacity  of
approximately 7.5 million tonnes.

During the year ended December 31, 2000, approxi-
mately  68%  of  the  Company’s  net  voyage  revenues
were  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 within a given
period of time. In the year ended December 31, 2000,
approximately 14% of net voyage revenues were gen-
erated  by  time  charters  and  COAs  priced  on  a  spot
market basis. In the aggregate, approximately 82% of
the  Company’s  net  voyage  revenues  during  the  year
ended  December  31,  2000  were  derived  from  spot
voyages  or  time  charters  and  COAs  priced  on  a  spot
market basis, with the remaining 18% being derived
from fixed-rate time-charters and COAs. This depend-
ence  on  the  spot  market,  which  is  within  industry
norms, contributes to the volatility of the Company’s
revenues, 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. In addition, tanker mar-
kets  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 weather patterns that tend to disrupt
vessel scheduling.

Acquisition of Bona Shipholding Ltd.

On  June  11,  1999,  the  Company  acquired  Bona
Shipholding  Ltd.  (“Bona”)  for  aggregate  considera-
tion  (including  estimated  transaction  expenses  of
$19.0 million) of $450.3 million, consisting of $39.9
million in cash, $294.0 million of assumed debt (net
of cash acquired of $91.7 million) and the balance of
$97.4  million  in  shares  of  the  Company’s  common
stock.  Bona  was  the  third  largest  operator  of
medium-size  tankers,  controlling  a  fleet  of  vessels
consisting  of  fifteen  Aframax  tankers,  eight  oil/
bulk/ore carriers and, through a joint venture, 50%
interests in one additional Aframax tanker and two
Suezmax tankers. Bona engaged in the transportation
of  oil,  oil  products,  and  dry  bulk  commodities,
primarily in the Atlantic region. Through this acqui-
sition,  the  Company  has  combined  Bona’s  market
strength in the Atlantic region with the Company’s
franchise in the Indo-Pacific Basin. 

The  acquisition  of  Bona  has  been  accounted  for
using  the  purchase  method  of  accounting.  Bona’s
operating  results  are  reflected  in  the  Company’s
financial statements commencing June 11, 1999.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations

Historically, the Company has depreciated its vessels
for accounting purposes over an economic life of 20
years down to estimated residual values. Bona depre-
ciated  its  vessels  over  an  economic  life  of  25  years
down to estimated scrap values, the method used by
the majority of companies in the shipping industry.
Effective  April  1,  1999,  the  Company  revised  the
estimated useful life of its vessels to 25 years and also
replaced the estimated residual values with estimat-
ed scrap values. Since such changes, the Company’s
average depreciation expense per vessel has decreased
from historical levels.

All  oil/bulk/ore  carriers  (“O/B/O”)  owned  by  Bona
have been operated through an O/B/O pool managed
by a subsidiary of Bona. Net voyage revenues from
the  O/B/O  pool  are  currently  included  on  a  100%
basis in the Company’s consolidated financial state-
ments. Where the Company owns less than 50% of a
vessel, the minority participants’ share of the O/B/O
pool’s net voyage revenues is reflected as a time char-
ter  hire  expense.  These  O/B/Os  have  earned  lower
average “time charter equivalent” (or TCE) rates than
the rest of the Teekay fleet as these vessels command
lower rates than modern Aframax tankers under typ-
ical market conditions, which reflects the lower cap-
ital cost of these vessels.

Results of Operations

Bulk  shipping  industry  freight  rates  are  commonly
measured  at  the  net  voyage  revenue  level  in  terms  of
TCE  rates,  defined  as  voyage  revenues  less  voyage
expenses (excluding commissions), divided by voyage
ship-days  for  the  round-trip  voyage. Voyage  revenues
and voyage expenses are a function of the type of char-
ter, either spot market 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.

Year Ended December 31, 2000 versus Nine
Months Ended December 31, 1999 

As  a  result  of  the  Company’s  change  in  fiscal  year
end  from  March  31  to  December  31,  commencing
December  31,  1999,  the  current  fiscal  year’s  results
are for the twelve month period ended December 31,
2000,  while  the  comparative  fiscal  period’s  results
are  for  the  nine  month  period  ended  December  31,
1999. Where indicated in the following discussions,
percentage  change  figures  reflect  the  annualized
results  for  the  nine  month  period  ended  December
31, 1999. The annualized results for the nine month
period ended December 31, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

The  results  for  the  nine  month  period  ended
December  31,  1999  include  the  results  of  Bona
commencing June 11, 1999. On an annualized basis,
the  Company’s  average  fleet  size  increased  9.0%  in
the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to the
nine month period ended December 31, 1999.

Average Aframax TCE rates increased significantly in
2000,  compared  to  the  nine  month  period  ended
December  31,  1999,  due  to  increased  demand  for
modern  tankers,  arising  from  increased  oil  produc-
tion  and  discrimination  against  older  tankers  by

charterers. TCE rates are dependent on oil production
levels, oil consumption growth, the number of vessels
scrapped, the number of newbuildings delivered and
charterers’ preference for modern tankers. As a result
of  the  Company’s  dependence  on  the  tanker  spot
market,  any  fluctuations  in  Aframax  TCE  rates  will
impact the Company’s revenues and earnings. 

Net voyage revenues were $644.3 million in the year
ended  December  31,  2000,  as  compared  to  $248.4
million  in  the  nine  month  period  ended  December
31, 1999, representing a 94.6% increase on an annu-
alized  basis  from  the  nine  month  period  ended
December  31,  1999.  This  is  mainly  the  result  of  a
81.2% increase in the average TCE rate earned by the
Company’s  fleet,  to  $25,661  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 2000, from $14,165 for the nine month
period ended December 31, 1999. As of December 31,
1999, the Company changed its process of estimating
net  voyage  revenues  from  a  load  port-to-load  port
basis  to  a  discharge  port-to-discharge  port  basis,
which is consistent with most other shipping compa-
nies. This change in voyage estimate resulted in a one-
time  increase  in  net  voyage  revenues  of  $5.7 million
for the nine month period ended December 31, 1999.

Vessel  operating  expenses,  which  include  crewing,
repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, lubes, and
communication expenses, increased to $125.4 million
in the year ended December 31, 2000 from $98.8 mil-
lion  in  the  nine  month  period  ended  December  31,
1999, representing a 4.8% decrease on an annualized
basis.  This  decrease  was  mainly  the  result  of  lower
per-day  operating  expenses  arising  from  the  appli-
cation  of  the  Company’s  lower  cost  structure  to  the
Bona  fleet. This  decrease  was  partially  offset  by  the
increase in the Company’s average fleet size.

Time charter hire expense was $53.5 million in the year
ended  December  31,  2000,  up 
from  $30.7 
million in the nine month period ended December 31,
1999, representing a 30.7% increase on an annualized
basis. This increase is primarily due to an increase in
the minority participants’ share of the O/B/O pool’s net
voyage revenues, which was $26.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 2000, compared to $10.5 million in
the nine month period ended December 31, 1999. This
was caused by an improvement in the average TCE rate
earned in the O/B/O pool and the inclusion of Bona’s
operating results, which includes the O/B/O vessels, for
only  part  of  the  previous  fiscal  period  from  June  11,
1999. The average number of vessels time-chartered-in
by the Company, excluding the O/B/Os, was five in the
year ended December 31, 2000, compared to four in the
nine month period ended December 31, 1999.

Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  increased  to
$100.2  million  in  the  year  ended  December  31,  2000,
from  $68.3  million  in  the  nine  month  period  ended
December 31, 1999, representing a 10.0% increase on
an annualized basis. This increase primarily reflects the
increase in the Company’s average fleet size arising from
the acquisition of Bona. Depreciation and amortization
expense included amortization of drydocking costs of
$9.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2000, com-
pared to $6.3 million in the nine month period ended
December 31, 1999.

General  and  administrative  expenses  were  $37.5  mil-
lion in the year ended December 31, 2000, as compared
to  $27.0  million  in  the  nine  month  period  ended
December 31, 1999, representing a 4.0% increase on an
annualized basis. This increase is primarily a result of
the  acquisition  of  Bona,  partially  offset  by  overhead
cost savings related to the acquisition.

Interest expense increased to $74.5 million in the year
ended  December  31,  2000  from  $45.0  million  in  the
nine month period ended December 31, 1999, repre-
senting a 24.2% increase on an annualized basis. This
increase reflects an increase in interest rates and the
additional debt assumed as part of the Bona acquisition. 

Interest income increased to $13.0 million in the year
ended  December  31,  2000  from  $5.8  million  in  the
nine month period ended December 31, 1999. On an
annualized basis, interest income increased by 67.2%
as a result of increased interest rates and higher cash
and marketable securities balances. 

Other  income  of  $3.9  million  in  the  year  ended
December  31,  2000  consisted  primarily  of  equity
income  from  a  50%-owned  joint  venture,  partially
offset  by  future  income  taxes  related  to  the
Company’s Australian ship-owning subsidiaries, and
losses  on  the  sale  of  two  vessels.  Other  loss  of
$4.0 million  in  the  nine  month  period  ended
December  31,  1999  consisted  primarily  of  future
income  taxes  related  to  the  Company’s  Australian
ship-owning  subsidiaries  and  one-time  employee
and  severance-related  costs,  partially  offset  by
equity  income  from  the  50%-owned  joint  venture. 

As  a  result  of  the  foregoing  factors,  net  income
was $270.0 million in the year ended December 31,
2000, compared to a net loss of $19.6 million in the
nine  month  period  ended  December  31,  1999.  The
results for the year ended December 31, 2000 include
losses  on  the  disposition  of  assets  of  $1.0  million.
There  were  no  extraordinary  items  and  no  asset
dispositions  in  the  nine  month  period  ended
December 31, 1999. 

Nine Months Ended December 31, 1999 versus
Year Ended March 31, 1999

As  a  result  of  the  Company’s  change  in  fiscal  year
end  from  March  31  to  December  31,  the  results  for
the nine month period ended December 31, 1999, are
compared to the results for the twelve month period
ended  March  31,  1999.  Where  indicated  in  the
following  discussions,  percentage  change  figures
reflect  the  annualized  results  for  the  nine  month
period  ended  December  31,  1999.  The  annualized
results  for  the  nine  month  period  ended  December
31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of those for a
full fiscal year.

The  results  for  the  nine  month  period  ended
December  31,  1999  include  the  results  of  Bona
commencing June 11, 1999. On an annualized basis,
the  Company’s  average  fleet  size  increased  39.5%
in the nine month period ended December 31, 1999,
compared to the year ended March 31, 1999.

Net voyage revenues were $248.4 million in the nine
month  period  ended  December  31,  1999,  as  com-
pared to $318.4 million in the year ended March 31,
1999, representing a 4.0% increase on an annualized
basis  from  the  year  ended  March  31,  1999.  This  is
mainly the result of an increase in fleet size, partially
offset by a 29.8% decrease in the Company’s average
TCE  rate,  to  $14,165  for  the  nine  month  period
ended December 31, 1999, from $20,185 for the year
ended March 31, 1999. Aframax TCE rates declined
during  the  second  half  of  1998  and  1999  due  to  a
reduction in tanker demand, oil production cutbacks
and a large number of newbuilding deliveries. As of
December  31,  1999,  the  Company  changed  its
process  of  estimating  net  voyage  revenues  from  a

load  port-to-load  port  basis  to  a  discharge  port-to-
discharge port basis, which is consistent with most
other  shipping  companies.  This  change  in  voyage
estimate resulted in a one-time increase in net voyage
revenues  of  $5.7  million  for  the  nine  month  period
ended December 31, 1999.

the year ended March 31, 1999, respectively. Had the
Company  retained  its  previous  depreciation  policy
and applied this policy to the Bona fleet, depreciation
expense would have been $22.5 million higher in the
nine month period ended December 31, 1999. 

Vessel operating expenses increased to $98.8 million
in the nine month period ended December 31, 1999
from $84.4 million in the year ended March 31, 1999,
representing  a  56.1%  increase  on  an  annualized
basis. This increase was mainly the result of the addi-
tion of the Bona vessels, which had higher operating
expenses than the remainder of Teekay’s fleet.

Time  charter  hire  expense  was  $30.7  million  in  the
nine month period ended December 31, 1999, up from
$29.7  million  in  the  year  ended  March  31,  1999,
primarily  due  to  the  Bona  acquisition. The  minority
pool  participants’  net  voyage  revenues  in  the  O/B/O
pool managed by a Bona subsidiary is reflected as time
charter hire expense. The average number of Aframax
vessels time-chartered-in by the Company was four in
the nine month period ended December 31, 1999, the
same as in the year ended March 31, 1999.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to
$68.3  million  in  the  nine  month  period  ended
December  31,  1999,  from  $93.7  million  in  the  year
ended March 31, 1999, representing a 2.8% decrease
on  an  annualized  basis.  This  reflects  the  change  in
estimated  useful  life  of  the  vessels  from  20  to  25
years, partially offset by the increase in fleet size aris-
ing  from  the  acquisition  of  Bona.  Depreciation  and
amortization  expense  included  amortization  of  dry-
docking costs of $6.3 million and $8.6 million in the
nine month period ended December 31, 1999 and in

General and administrative expenses were $27.0 mil-
lion  in  the  nine  month  period  ended  December  31,
1999, as compared to $25.0 million in the year ended
March  31,  1999,  representing  a  44.1%  increase  on
an annualized  basis  primarily  as  a  result  of  the
acquisition of Bona. 

Interest  expense  increased  to  $45.0  million  in  the
nine  month  period  ended  December  31,  1999  from
$44.8 million in the year ended March 31, 1999, rep-
resenting  a  33.9%  increase  on  an  annualized  basis.
This increase reflects the $386.0 million in additional
debt assumed as part of the Bona acquisition and an
increase in interest rates.

Interest income decreased to $5.8 million in the nine
month  period  ended  December  31,  1999  from  $6.4
million  in  the  year  ended  March  31,  1999.  On  an
annualized  basis,  interest  income  increased  by
20.8%  as  a  result  of  increased  interest  rates  and
higher cash and marketable securities balances. 

Other loss of $4.0 million in the nine month period
ended  December  31,  1999  consisted  primarily  of
future  income  taxes  related  to  the  Company’s
Australian  ship-owning  subsidiaries  and  one-time
employee and severance-related costs, partially offset
by  equity  income  from  the  50%-owned  joint  ven-
ture. Other income of $5.5 million in the year ended
March 31, 1999 consisted primarily of gains on the
sale of vessels.

As a result of the foregoing factors, net loss was $19.6
million  in  the  nine  month  period  ended  December
31, 1999, compared to a net income of $45.4 million
in the year ended March 31, 1999. The results for the
year  ended  March  31,  1999  included  an  extraordi-
nary  loss  of  $7.3  million  on  the  redemption  of  the
Company’s  9  5/8%  First  Preferred  Ship  Mortgage
Notes (the “9 5/8% Notes”), and gains on asset sales
of  $7.1  million. There  were  no  extraordinary  items
and  no  asset  sales  in  the  nine  month  period  ended
December 31, 1999. 

The  following  table  illustrates  the  relationship
between  fleet  size  (measured  in  ship-days),  TCE
performance,  and  operating  results  per  calendar

and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s total liquidity, including cash, restrict-
ed cash, marketable securities and undrawn long-term
lines of credit, was $373.1 million as at December 31,
2000, up from $237.4 million as at December 31, 1999,
and $143.3 million as at March 31, 1999. The increase
in liquidity during the year ended December 31, 2000
was primarily the result of an increase in net cash flow
from  operating  activities  due  to  higher TCE  rates.  In
the  Company’s  opinion,  working  capital  is  sufficient
for the Company’s present requirements. 

Net cash flow from operating activities increased to
$333.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2000,
compared to $51.5 million in the nine month period
ended December 31, 1999, and $137.7 million in the
year  ended  March  31,  1999. This  primarily  reflects
the change in TCE rates during these periods.

The Company applied most of this increased operat-
ing cash flow, for the year ended December 31, 2000,
toward  the  repayment  of  debt.  Scheduled  debt
repayments  were  $63.8  million  during  the  year
ended December 31, 2000, compared to $32.3 million
during the nine month period ended December 31,
1999, and $50.6 million in the year ended March 31,
1999.  Debt  prepayments  during  the  year  ended
December 31, 2000 totalled $429.9 million, of which
$35.7  million  represented  the  repurchase  of  the
Company’s  8.32%  First  Preferred  Ship  Mortgage
Notes (the “8.32% Notes”) and the balance of $394.2
million was used to reduce the Company’s two long-
term  Revolving  Credit  Facilities. (the “Revolvers”).
Debt  prepayments  during  the  nine  months  ended
December 31, 1999 totalled $10.0 million.

As at December 31, 2000, the Company’s total debt
was $797.5 million, compared to $1,085.2 million as
at December 31, 1999. The Company’s Revolvers pro-
vide  for  borrowings  of  up  to  $565.8  million  as  at
December 31, 2000. The amount available under the
Revolvers  reduces  semi-annually  with  final  balloon
reductions  in  2006  and  2008. The  8.32%  Notes  are
due  February  1,  2009  and  are  subject  to  a  sinking
fund,  which  will  retire  $45.0  million  principal
amount  of  the  8.32%  Notes  on  each  February  1,
commencing 2004. The Company’s outstanding term
loans  reduce  in  quarterly  or  semi-annual  payments
with varying maturities through 2009. The aggregate
long-term  debt  principal  repayments
annual 
required  to  be  made  subsequent  to  December  31,
2000  are  $72.2  million  (2001),  $70.0  million  (2002),
$112.1  million  (2003),  $94.1  million  (2004),  $109.0
million (2005) and $340.1 million thereafter to 2009.

Among other matters, the long-term debt agreements
generally  provide  for  such  items  as  maintenance  of
certain vessel market value to loan ratios and mini-
mum consolidated financial convenants, prepayment
privileges (in some cases with penalties), and restric-
tions  against  the  incurrence  of  new  investments  by
the individual subsidiaries without prior lender con-
sent. The amount of Restricted Payments, as defined,
that  the  Company  can  make,  including  dividends
and purchases of its own capital stock, is limited as
of December 31, 2000, to $316.6 million. Certain of
the loan agreements require a minimum level of free
cash  be  maintained.  As  at  December  31,  2000,  this
amount was $26.0 million.

The  Company  manages  the  impact  of  interest  rate
changes  on  earnings  and  cash  flows  through  its

interest rate structure. For the Revolvers, the interest
rate  structure  is  based  on  LIBOR  plus  a  margin
depending on the financial leverage of the Company.
Interest  payments  on  the  term  loans  are  based  on
LIBOR plus a margin. As at December 31, 2000, the
interest rate swap agreements effectively change the
Company’s  interest  rate  exposure  on  $100.0  million
of debt from a floating LIBOR rate to an average fixed
rate  of  6.71%.  The  interest  rate  swap  agreements
expire between December 2001 and December 2002.

Funding and treasury activities are conducted with-
in  corporate  policies  to  minimize  borrowing  costs
and maximize investment returns while maintaining
the safety of the funds and appropriate liquidity for
Company  purposes.  Cash  and  cash  equivalents  are
held  primarily  in  U.S.  dollars  with  some  balances
held  in  Japanese  Yen,  Singapore  Dollars,  Canadian
Dollars,  Australian  Dollars,  British  Pound  and
Norwegian Kroner.

The Company is exposed to market risk from foreign
currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates.
The  Company  uses  forward  foreign  currency  con-
tracts and interest rate swaps to manage these risks,
but does not use financial instruments for trading or
speculative purposes. As at December 31, 2000, the
Company  had  $62.1  million  in  forward  foreign 
currency  contracts,  which  expire  between  January
2001 and December 2003. 

Dividends declared during the year ended December
31, 2000 were $33.0 million, or $0.86 per share.  

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2000,  the
Company  incurred  capital  expenditures  for  vessels
and equipment of $43.5 million, consisting mainly of
the  purchase  of  a  modern  second-hand  Aframax
tanker and the conversion of an Aframax tanker to a
floating  storage  and  off-take  vessel  (“FSO”).  Cash
expenditures  for  drydocking  were  $11.9  million  in
the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to $6.6
million  in  the  nine  month  period  ended  December
31, 1999 and $11.7 million in the year ended March
31, 1999.

As part of its growth strategy, the Company will con-
tinue  to  consider  strategic  opportunities,  including
the  acquisition  of  additional  vessels  and  expansion
into new markets. The Company may choose to pur-
sue  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 gen-
erated  cash  flow,  existing  credit  lines,  additional
debt  borrowings,  and  the  issuance  of  additional
shares of capital stock.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 

and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements            

The Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the
year  ended  December  31,  2000  and  this  Annual
Report to Shareholders for 2000 contain certain for-
ward-looking statements (as such term is defined in
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as amend-
ed, and Sections 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) concerning future events and
the Company's operations, performance and financial
condition,  including,  in  particular,  statements
regarding:  Aframax  TCE  rates  and  the  market  out-
look  in  the  near-term;  tanker  supply  and  demand;
supply  and  demand  for  oil;  the  Company’s  market
share;  future  capital  expenditures;  the  Company’s
growth  strategy  and  measures  to  implement  such
strategy;  the  Company’s  competitive  strengths;  and
future  success  of  the  Company.  Words  such  as
“expects,”  “intends,”  “plans,”  “believes,”  “antici-
pates,” “estimates” and variations of such words and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-
looking statements. These statements involve known
and unknown risks and are based upon a number of
assumptions and estimates which are inherently sub-
ject  to  significant  uncertainties  and  contingencies,
many  of  which  are  beyond  the  control  of  the
Company. Actual results may differ materially from
those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause actual results to
differ  materially  include,  but  are  not  limited  to:

changes  in  production  of  or  demand  for  oil  and
petroleum products, either generally or in particular
regions;  the  cyclical  nature  of  the  tanker  industry
and  its  dependence  on  oil  markets;  the  supply  of
tankers available to meet the demand for transporta-
tion  of  petroleum  products;  charterers’  preference
for modern tankers; greater than anticipated levels of
tanker  newbuilding  orders  or  less  than  anticipated
rates  of  tanker  scrapping;  changes  in  trading  pat-
terns significantly impacting overall tanker tonnage
requirements; changes in typical seasonal variations
in  tanker  charter  rates;  the  Company’s  dependence
on spot oil voyages; competitive factors in the mar-
kets in which the Company operates; environmental
and  other  regulation  including  the  imposition  of
freight taxes and income taxes; the Company’s poten-
tial  inability  to  achieve  and  manage  growth;  risks
associated with operations outside the United States;
the  potential  inability  of  the  Company  to  generate
internal  cash  flow  and  obtain  additional  debt  or
equity  financing  to  fund  capital  expenditures;  and
other  factors  detailed  from  time  to  time  in  the
Company’s  periodic  reports  filed  with  the  U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company
expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to
release publicly any updates or revisions to any for-
ward-looking  statements  contained  herein  to  reflect
any  change  in  the  Company’s  expectations  with
respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Auditor’s Report

To the Shareholders of TEEKAY SHIPPING CORPORATION 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Teekay Shipping Corporation and subsidiaries as

of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity

and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2000, the nine month period ended December 31, 1999 and the year

ended March 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our respon-

sibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those stan-

dards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial state-

ments are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts

and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and

significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We

believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  consolidated

financial position of Teekay Shipping Corporation and subsidiaries as at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the consoli-

dated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2000, the nine month period

ended  December  31,  1999  and  the  year  ended  March  31,  1999, in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally

accepted in the United States.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share or per share data)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally  accepted  in  the  United  States.  They  include  the  accounts  of  Teekay  Shipping  Corporation  (“Teekay”),  which  is

incorporated  under  the  laws  of  the  Republic  of  the  Marshall  Islands,  and  its  wholly  owned  or  controlled  subsidiaries  (the

“Company”). Significant intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States

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.

Certain of the comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current period.
Reporting  currency  The  consolidated  financial  statements  are  stated  in  U.S.  dollars  because  the  Company  operates  in

international shipping markets which utilize the U.S. dollar as the functional currency.

Change in fiscal year end The Company changed its fiscal year end from March 31 to December 31, effective December
31,  1999.  The  following  is  a  summary  of  selected  financial  information  for  the  comparative  twelve  month  periods  ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998.

Operating revenues and expenses Voyage revenues and expenses are recognized on the percentage of completion method
of accounting. Effective December 31, 1999 the Company refined its estimation process from a load-to-load basis to a dis-
charge-to-discharge  basis  under  the  percentage  of  completion  method  to  more  precisely  reflect  net  voyage  revenues.  This
refinement in accounting estimate resulted in a one-time increase in net voyage revenues of $5.7 million, or 16 cents per share,
for the nine month period ended December 31, 1999.

Estimated losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses become evident. The consolidated balance

sheets reflect the deferred portion of revenues and expenses applicable to subsequent periods.

Voyage expenses comprise all expenses relating to particular voyages, including bunker fuel expenses, port fees, canal tolls,

and brokerage commissions. Vessel operating expenses comprise all expenses relating to the operation of vessels, including

crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, lubes, communications, and miscellaneous expenses.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont’d)
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share or per share data)

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 component

of other comprehensive income.

Vessels and equipment All pre-delivery costs incurred during the construction of newbuildings, including interest costs and
supervision and technical costs, are capitalized. The acquisition cost and all costs incurred to restore used vessel purchases

to the standard required to properly service the Company’s customers are capitalized. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-

line basis over a vessel’s useful life from the date a vessel is initially placed in service.

Effective April 1, 1999, the Company revised the estimated useful life of its vessels from 20 years to 25 years, consistent
with most other public tanker companies. This change in accounting estimate resulted in a reduction of depreciation expense
of $22.5 million, or 62 cents per share, for the nine month period ended December 31, 1999.

Interest costs capitalized to vessels and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2000, the nine month period ended

December 31, 1999 and the year ended March 31, 1999 aggregated $Nil, $1,710,000, and $3,018,000, respectively.

Expenditures incurred during drydocking are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period until the
next anticipated drydocking. When significant drydocking expenditures recur prior to the expiry of this period, the remaining

balance of the original drydocking is expensed in the month of the subsequent drydocking. Drydocking expenses amortized
for the year ended December 31, 2000, the nine month period ended December 31, 1999 and the year ended March 31, 1999
aggregated $9,208,000, $6,275,000, and $8,583,000, respectively.

Investment in joint venture The Company has a 50% participating interest in the joint venture (Soponata-Teekay Limited),
which owns two Suezmax vessels and one Aframax vessel. The joint venture is accounted for using the equity method where-

by the investment is carried at the Company’s original cost plus its proportionate share of undistributed earnings.

Investment in the Panamax O/B/O Pool All oil/bulk/ore carriers (“O/B/O”) owned by the Company are operated through a
Panamax O/B/O Pool. The participants in the Pool are the companies contributing vessel capacity to the Pool. The voyage revenues
and expenses of these vessels have been included on a 100% basis in the consolidated financial statements. The minority pool
participants’ share of the result has been deducted as time charter hire expense.

Loan costs Loan costs, including fees, commissions and legal expenses, which are presented as other assets are capital-
ized and amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant loan. Amortization of loan costs is included in interest

expense.

Interest rate swap agreements The differential to be paid or received, pursuant to interest rate swap agreements, is accrued
as interest rates change and is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. Premiums and receipts, if any, are recognized

as adjustments to interest expense over the lives of the individual contracts.

Forward contracts The Company enters into forward contracts as a hedge against changes in certain foreign exchange rates.
Market value gains and losses are deferred and recognized during the period in which the hedged transaction is recorded in the

accounts.

Cash and cash equivalents The Company classifies all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or

less when purchased as cash and cash equivalents.

Cash interest paid during the year ended December 31, 2000, the nine month period ended December 31, 1999 and the

year ended March 31, 1999 totaled $77,073,000, $63,086,000, and $48,527,000, respectively.

Income taxes The legal jurisdictions of the countries in which Teekay and the majority of its subsidiaries are incorporated
do not impose income taxes upon shipping-related activities. The Company’s Australian ship-owning subsidiaries are subject
to  income  taxes  (see  Note 11).  The  Company  accounts  for  such  taxes  using  the  liability  method  pursuant  to  Statement  of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont’d)
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share or per share data)

Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation Under  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 123 (“SFAS  123”),
“Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation”,  disclosures  of  stock-based  compensation  arrangements  with  employees  are

required  and  companies  are  encouraged  (but  not  required)  to  record  compensation  costs  associated  with  employee  stock

option awards, based on estimated fair values at the grant dates. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-
based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”) “Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees” and has disclosed the required pro forma effect on net income and earning per share as if the fair value method
of accounting as prescribed in SFAS 123 had been applied (see Note 9).

Comprehensive income The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive
Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the consoli-

dated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, which establishes new standards for recording derivatives in

interim and annual financial statements. This statement requires recording all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities,
measured at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a

hedge, depending upon the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are either offset against the fair

value of assets, liabilities or firm commitments through income, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged

item is recognized in income. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in
income. Statement No. 133, as amended by FASB Statements No. 137 and No. 138, is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000.

Based  upon  the  Company’s  derivative  position  at  December  31,  2000,  the  Company  estimates  that  upon  adoption  of
Statement 133 it will recognize the fair value of all derivatives as assets of $2,252,000 and liabilities of $1,297,000 on its
consolidated balance sheet. These amounts will be recorded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity through other compre-
hensive income. There was no impact on net income. In addition, a deferred gain of $3,200,000 on the unwound interest rate
swap  agreements  presented  as  other  long-term  liabilities  at  December 31,  2000,  will  be  reclassified  to  accumulated  other
comprehensive income and will be recognized into earnings over the hedged term of the debt. 

2. BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of petroleum cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation

of a fleet of tankers. All of the Company’s revenues are earned in international markets.

Two customers, both international oil companies, individually accounted for 13% ($118,306,000) and 12% ($110,241,000)
of the company’s consolidated voyage revenues during the year ended December 31, 2000. During the nine months ended
December 31, 1999 a single customer, also an international oil company, accounted for 13% ($48,140,000), of the Company’s
consolidated voyage revenues. During the year ended March 31, 1999, three customers, all international oil companies, indi-
vidually  accounted  for  12%  ($51,411,000),  12%  ($50,727,000)  and  10%  ($42,797,000),  respectively,  of  the  Company’s
consolidated  voyage  revenues.  No  other  customer  accounted  for  more  than 10%  of  the  Company’s  consolidated  voyage
revenues during the fiscal periods presented herein.

3. ACQUISITION OF BONA SHIPHOLDING LTD.

On  June 11,  1999,  Teekay  purchased  Bona  Shipholding  Ltd.  (“Bona”)  for  aggregate  consideration  (including  estimated
transaction expenses of $19.0 million) of $450.3 million, consisting of $39.9 million in cash, $294.0 million of assumed debt
(net of cash acquired of $91.7 million) and the balance of $97.4 million in shares of Teekay’s Common Stock. Bona’s operating
results are reflected in these financial statements commencing the effective date of the acquisition.

The Company has two long-term Revolving Credit Facilities (the “Revolvers”) available, which, as at December 31, 2000,
provided for borrowings of up to $565.8 million. Interest payments are based on LIBOR (December 31, 2000: 6.4%; December
31, 1999: 6.0%) plus a margin depending on the financial leverage of the Company; at December 31, 2000, the margins ranged
between  0.50%  and  0.85%  (December 31,  1999:  between  0.60%  and 0.90%).  The  amount  available  under  the  Revolvers
reduces  semi-annually  with  final  balloon  reductions  in 2006  and  2008. The  Revolvers  are  collateralized  by  first  priority
mortgages granted on thirty-four of the Company’s vessels, together with certain other related collateral, and a guarantee from

the Company for all amounts outstanding under the Revolvers.

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, 2000, the fair value of these net assets approximated $231.5
million. The 8.32% Notes are also subject to a sinking fund, which will retire $45.0 million principal amount of the 8.32% Notes
on each February 1, commencing 2004. During June 2000, the Company repurchased a principal amount of $35.7 million of the
8.32% Notes outstanding.

Upon  the 8.32%  Notes  achieving  Investment  Grade  Status  (as  defined  in  the  Indenture)  and  subject  to  certain  other
conditions, the guarantees of the 8.32% Notes Guarantor Subsidiaries will terminate, all of the collateral securing the obliga-
tions of the Company and the 8.32% Notes Guarantor Subsidiaries under the Indenture and the Security Documents (as defined
in  the  Indenture)  will  be  released  (whereupon  the  Notes  will  become  general  unsecured  obligations  of  the  Company)  and

certain covenants under the Indenture will no longer be applicable to the Company.

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 24 cents per share, for the year ended March 31, 1999.
The  Company  has  several  term  loans  outstanding,  which,  as  at  December 31,  2000,  totalled  $192.4  million.  Interest
payments are based on LIBOR plus a margin. At December 31, 2000, the margins ranged between 0.55% and 1.25%. The term
loans reduce in quarterly or semi-annual payments with varying maturities through 2009. All term loans of the Company are
collateralized by first preferred mortgages on the vessels to which the loans relate, together with certain other collateral, and
guarantees from Teekay.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont’d)
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, other than share or per share data)

As at December 31, 2000, the Company was committed to a series of interest rate swap agreements whereby $100.0 million
of the Company’s floating rate debt was swapped with fixed rate obligations having an average remaining term of 1.5 years,
expiring between December 2001 and December 2002. These arrangements effectively change the Company’s interest rate expo-
sure on $100.0 million of debt from a floating LIBOR rate to an average fixed rate of 6.71%. 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.

Among other matters, the long-term debt agreements generally provide for such items as maintenance of certain vessel

market value to loan ratios and minimum consolidated financial covenants, prepayment privileges (in some cases with penal-

ties), and restrictions against the incurrence of additional debt and new investments by the individual subsidiaries without

prior lender consent. The amount of Restricted Payments, as defined, that the Company can make, including dividends and
purchases  of  its  own  capital  stock,  is  limited  as  of  December  31,  2000,  to  $316.6 million.  Certain  of  the  loan  agreements
require a minimum level of free cash be maintained. As at December 31, 2000, this amount was $26.0 million.

The  aggregate  annual  long-term  debt  principal  repayments  required  to  be  made  for  the  five  fiscal  years  subsequent
to December  31,  2000 are  $72,170,000 (2001),  $70,017,000 (2002),  $112,131,000 (2003),  $94,052,000 (2004),  and
$109,025,000 (2005).

7. LEASES

Charters-out Time charters to third parties of the Company’s vessels are accounted for as operating leases. The minimum
future revenues to be received on time charters currently in place are $82,791,000 (2001), $71,993,000 (2002), $53,199,000
(2003), $42,634,000 (2004), $39,035,000 (2005), and $93,028,000 thereafter.

The minimum future revenues should not be construed to reflect total charter hire revenues for any of the years.
Charters-in Minimum  commitments  under  vessel  operating  leases  are  $32,576,000 (2001),  $15,632,000 (2002),

$11,755,000 (2003), $6,771,000 (2004) and $1,665,000 (2005).

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Carrying amounts of all financial instruments approximate fair market value except for the following:
Long-term debt — The fair values of the Company’s fixed rate long-term debt are based on either quoted market prices or
estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining

maturities.

Interest rate swap agreements and foreign exchange contracts — The fair value of interest rate swaps and foreign exchange
contracts, used for hedging purposes, is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agree-

ments at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates, the current credit worthiness of the swap counter parties

and foreign exchange rates.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is as follows:

Cash, cash equivalents and 
marketable securities

9. CAPITAL STOCK

The authorized capital stock of the Company at December 31, 2000 is 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par
value of $1 per share and 725,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. At December 31, 2000
the Company had 39,145,219 shares of Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

The Company’s shareholders approved amendments to the Company’s 1995 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the
number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for future grants of options under the Plan by an additional 1,800,000
shares in September 1998, and 2,350,000 shares in March 2000. As of December 31, 2000, the Company had reserved 4,911,622
shares of Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the Plan. During the year ended December
31, 2000, the nine month period ended December 31, 1999 and the year ended March 31, 1999, the Company granted options
under the Plan to acquire up to 889,500, 1,463,500, and 573,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Grants”), respectively, to cer-
tain eligible officers, employees (including senior sea staff ), and directors of the Company. The options have a 10-year term and
had initially vested equally over four years from the date of grant. Effective September 8, 2000, the Company amended the Plan
which reduced the vesting period for all subsequent stock option grants from four years to three years. In addition, the Company
also accelerated the vesting period for the existing grants by one year. The impact of the accelerated vesting for the existing
grants on compensation expense was not material for the year ended December 31, 2000.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity, and related information for the year ended December 31, 2000, the nine

month period ended December 31, 1999 and the year ended March 31, 1999 is as follows:

31,063,357 shares for the year ended March 31, 1999. Diluted earnings per share, which gives effect to the aforementioned
stock options, is based upon the following weighted average number of common shares outstanding: 39,368,253 shares for
the year ended December 31, 2000; 36,405,089 shares for the nine month period ended December 31, 1999; and 31,063,357
shares for the year ended March 31, 1999.

The fair values of the Grants were estimated on the dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following assumptions: risk-free average interest rates of 6.6% for the year ended December 31, 2000; 5.8% for the nine month
period ended December 31, 1999; and 5.4% for the year ended March 31, 1999, respectively; dividend yield of 3.0%; expected
volatility of 30% for the year ended December 31, 2000 and 25% for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 and the year
ended March 31, 1999; and expected lives of 5 years.

As of March 6, 2001, the Company had purchased a 56% interest in Ugland Nordic Shipping ASA (UNS), (9% of which was 

purchased in 2000), for approximately $117 million cash, or an average price of approximately NOK 134 per share. UNS controls

a modern fleet of eighteen shuttle tankers (including four newbuildings) that engage in the transportation of oil from offshore

production platforms to refineries. Shares of UNS are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange.

The Company will promptly launch a mandatory bid for the remaining shares in UNS at NOK 140 per share (for a total cost of

approximately $100 million) as required by Norwegian law.

The acquisition of UNS will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as required by accounting principles

generally accepted in the United States.
