The world tanker fleet increased by 0.9 per cent in 2002. However,
the size of the fleet remains smaller than two years ago.

The market outlook for 2003 hinges on several key

factors. On the supply side, whilst forecast deliveries for

2003 (34.2 mdwt or 11 per cent of the existing fleet)

appear large, they could be offset by two factors: typical

Characteristics of the 
offshore loading business:

• no spot market

• no speculative newbuilding ordering

• operational expertise is essential

• sophisticated technology required 

due to the harsh environment

• economies of scale are needed to

support customer requirements

• pipelines are costly and less viable 

for deepwater production 

The Offshore Loading Business

Over the past two years, Teekay has made major
investments in the offshore loading business.

Shuttle tankers are technically-enhanced vessels used 

to transport oil from offshore production installations 

to on-shore storage and refinery facilities. They are an

integral part of this logistics chain, essentially serving as

floating pipelines to the offshore sector, and are the

most cost-effective solution for transporting oil from

deepwater fields and smaller marginal wells.

Uninterrupted operations are critical to offshore oil

production installations, as a disruption in production can

result in significant financial consequences for the field

operator. Shuttle tankers are equipped with specialized

equipment and built-in redundancy that enables them to

operate in high seas and harsh weather. Operational

expertise is essential for safe and reliable operation of

these vessels.

Operators provide service either through long-term

contracts of affreightment that provide a high degree 

of flexibility to the field operator, or through time-

charter contracts where ships are dedicated to serving

particular customers.

Teekay first entered the offshore loading business in

2001 with the acquisition of Ugland Nordic Shipping

(UNS), the world’s largest owner of shuttle tankers

serving the time-charter market. With our pending

acquisition of Navion, Teekay will become the leader in

the logistically-complex contract of affreightment sector

of the offshore loading business. UNS and Navion are in

distinctly different, complementary areas of the shuttle

market. Teekay’s combined investment in these profitable

niche businesses will grow to more than $1.5 billion.

The world shuttle tanker fleet comprises 63 vessels,

with only five vessels on order – all of which are fixed on

long-term contracts. There is no speculative newbuilding

ordering in this sector.

Currently the offshore loading business is

concentrated in the North Sea. However, there are

growing markets for shuttle tankers in many areas of

active offshore oil exploration, such as the Gulf of

Mexico, the East Coast of Canada and Brazil.

floating storage and off-take vessels currently

Atlantic region, and one gas carrier on long-

Through a joint venture with Statoil, 

Navion is responsible for meeting Statoil’s

transportation needs for crude oil, condensate

and refined petroleum products. As part of this

arrangement, Navion has a right of first refusal

on Statoil’s oil transportation requirements at

may increase the utilization of its conventional

fleet. The Company also believes that the

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates a majority of its

revenues from voyage charters. Within the

shipping industry, the two methods used 

to account for voyage revenues and expenses

are the percentage of completion and the

completed voyage methods. For each method,

voyages may be calculated on either a load-to-

load or discharge-to-discharge basis. Most

shipping companies, including the Company,

use the percentage of completion method.

In applying the percentage of completion

method, management believes that the

discharge-to-discharge basis of calculating

voyages more accurately reflects voyage results

than the load-to-load basis. At the time of

cargo discharge, the Company generally has

information about the next load port and

expected discharge port, whereas at the time

of loading the Company normally is less certain

what the next load port will be.

Goodwill

The Company adopted Statement of Financial

Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS 142”),

“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and 

as a result has discontinued amortization of

goodwill since January 1, 2002. Pursuant to SFAS

142, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible

assets are tested for impairment annually or

whenever an impairment indicator arises. 

An impairment test requires the Company to

make estimates of future cash flows. If events 

or circumstances change, including reductions 

in anticipated cash flows generated by

operations, goodwill could become impaired

and require a charge to earnings. Based on the

Company’s goodwill balance at December 31,

2001, the Company estimates that application 

of SFAS 142 will result in an annual increase in

net income of approximately $4.5 million.

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”. As the exercise price of 

the Company's employee stock options

equals the market price of underlying stock

on the date of grant, no compensation

the hedged item is recognized in income.

The ineffective portion of a derivative’s

change in fair value is immediately

recognized into income (see Note 12).

the year ended December 31, 2001. 

Two customers, both international 

oil companies, individually accounted 

for 13% ($118.3 million) and 12% 

($110.2 million) of the Company’s

consolidated voyage revenues during 

the year ended December 31, 2000.

for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 and gives effect to the acquisition of 100% of

As of May 28, 2001, Teekay had purchased

the outstanding shares in UNS as if it had taken place January 1, on each of the years presented:

100% of the issued and outstanding 

shares of UNS (nine per cent of which 

was purchased in fiscal 2000 and the

remaining 91% was purchased in fiscal

2001), for $222.8 million cash, including

estimated transaction expenses of

approximately $7 million. UNS controls 

a modern fleet of 18 shuttle tankers

(including two newbuildings on order) 

that engage in the transportation of oil

from offshore production platforms to

onshore storage and refinery facilities. 

The acquisition of UNS has been

accounted for using the purchase method

of accounting, based upon estimates of fair

value. UNS’ operating results are reflected

in these financial statements commencing

March 6, 2001, the date Teekay acquired 

a majority interest in UNS. Equity income

related to the Company’s nine per cent

interest in UNS up to December 31, 2000

has been credited as an adjustment 

to retained earnings. Teekay’s interest in

UNS for the period from January 1, 2001 

to March 5, 2001 has been included in equity

income for the corresponding period.
