PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
THE COMPANY
Teekay Shipping Corporation ("Teekay"), together with its subsidiaries (the
"Company"), is a leading provider of international crude oil and petroleum
product transportation services through the world's largest fleet of medium size
oil tankers. The Company's modern fleet of tankers provides 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
"Indo-Pacific Basin").
The Company pursues an intensively customer and operations-oriented
business strategy, emphasizing market concentration and service quality to
achieve superior operating results. The Company believes that it has five key
competitive strengths: (i) market concentration in the Indo-Pacific Basin, which
facilitates comprehensive coverage of charterer requirements and provides a base
for efficient operation and a high degree of capacity utilization, (ii)
full-service marine operations capabilities and experienced management in all
functions critical to its operations, which affords a focused marketing effort,
tight quality and cost controls, improved capacity utilization and effective
operations and safety monitoring, (iii) a modern, high-quality fleet that
operates with high fuel efficiency and low maintenance and operating costs and
affords greater acceptance among charterers in an environment of increasingly
stringent operating and safety standards, (iv) a large, uniform-size fleet of
Aframax (75,000-115,000 dwt) tankers, many of which are in sister vessel series
(substantially identical vessels), which facilitates scheduling flexibility due
to vessel substitution opportunities, permitting greater responsiveness to
customer demands and enhanced capacity utilization, and which results in lower
operating costs than those experienced by smaller operators and (v) a strong
network of customer relationships and a reputation for transportation excellence
among quality-sensitive customers. As a result of its business strategy, the
Company has achieved consistently higher operating cash flow per vessel as
compared to an average of certain other publicly traded shipping companies. The
Company's growth strategy is to leverage its existing competitive strengths to
continue to expand its business. The Company anticipates that the continued
upgrade and expansion of its Aframax tanker business in the Indo-Pacific Basin
will continue to be a key component of its strategy. In addition, the Company
believes that its full-service marine operations capabilities, reputation for
safety and quality and strong customer orientation provide it with the
opportunity to expand its business by providing additional value-added and
innovative services, in many cases to existing customers. Finally, the Company
intends to identify expansion opportunities in new tanker market segments,
geographic areas and services to which the Company's competitive strengths are
well suited. The Company may choose to pursue such opportunities through
internal growth, joint ventures or business acquisitions.
The Company's fleet consists of 46 vessels: 42 Aframax oil tankers
(including three vessels time-chartered-in) and oil/bulk/ore carriers
("O/B/Os"), three smaller oil tankers, and one Very Large Crude Carrier
("VLCC"). The Company's vessels are all of Liberian, Singaporean, Australian or
Bahamian registry. The Company's fleet has a total cargo capacity of
approximately 4.6 million tonnes and its Aframax vessels represent approximately
7.8% of the total tonnage of the world Aframax fleet. The Company intends to
continue to supplement its fleet by selective orders of newbuilding vessels and
selective purchases of modern, second-hand, high-quality tankers.
The Company's fleet is one of the most modern fleets in the world, with an
average age of approximately 7.8 years, compared to an average age for the world
oil tanker fleet of approximately 13.7 years and for the world Aframax tanker
fleet of approximately 12.2 years. The Company has been recognized by customers
and rating services for safety, quality and service. For example, in each of the
last eight years, Tanker Advisory Center, Inc. (New York) has rated the
Company's fleet a "meritorious tanker fleet," a designation which, in the latest
publication (January 1998), placed it in the top 5% of all fleets containing
five or more tankers. Given the age profile of the world tanker fleet,
increasing emphasis by customers on quality as a result of stringent
environmental regulations, and heightened concerns
3
4
about liability for oil pollution, the Company believes that its modern fleet
and its emphasis on quality and safety provide it with a favorable competitive
profile.
Through wholly owned subsidiaries located worldwide, the Company provides
substantially all of the operations, ship maintenance, crewing, technical
support, shipyard supervision, insurance and financial management services
necessary to support its fleet.
The Company has a worldwide chartering staff located in Vancouver, Tokyo,
London and Singapore. Each office serves the Company's clients headquartered in
such office's region. Fleet operations, vessel positions and charter market
rates are monitored around the clock. Management believes that monitoring such
information is critical to making informed bids on competitive brokered
business. During fiscal 1998, approximately 84% of the Company's net voyage
revenues were derived from spot voyages or time charters and contracts of
affreightment priced on a spot market basis.
The Teekay organization was founded in 1973 to manage and operate oil
tankers. Prior to 1985, the Company chartered-in most of the tonnage that it
subsequently provided to its transportation customers. As the availability of
acceptable chartered-in tonnage declined, management began an expansion of its
owned fleet. Since 1985, the Company has significantly expanded and modernized
its owned fleet by taking delivery of 40 new vessels and acquiring 31 vessels in
the second-hand market, as well as disposing of 12 older tankers over the past
four years.
Teekay is incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Liberia and
maintains its principal executive headquarters at the 4th Floor, Euro Canadian
Centre, Marlborough Street & Navy Lion Road, P.O. Box SS 6293, Nassau,
Commonwealth of the Bahamas. Its telephone number at such address is (242)
322-8020. The Company's principal operating offices are located at Suite 1400,
One Bentall Centre, 505 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7X
1M5. Its telephone number at such address is (604) 683-3529.
COMPETITION
International seaborne oil and other petroleum products transportation
services are provided by two main types of operators: captive fleets of major
oil companies (both private and state-owned) and independent ship owner fleets.
Many major oil companies and other oil trading companies, the primary charterers
of the vessels owned or controlled by the Company, also operate their own
vessels and transport their own oil as well as oil for third party charterers in
direct competition with independent owners and operators. Competition for
charters is intense and is based upon price, location, the size, age, condition
and acceptability of the vessel, and the vessel's manager. Competition in the
Aframax segment is also affected by the availability of other size vessels that
compete in the Company's markets. Suezmax (115,000 to 200,000 dwt) size vessels
and Panamax (50,000 to 75,000) size vessels can compete for many of the same
charters for which the Company competes. Because of their large size, Ultra
Large Crude Carriers (320,000+ dwt) ("ULCCs") and VLCCs (200,000 to 320,000 dwt)
rarely compete directly with Aframax tankers for specific charters; however,
because ULCCs and VLCCs comprise a substantial portion of the total capacity of
the market, movements by such vessels into Suezmax trades and of Suezmax vessels
into Aframax trades would heighten the already intense competition.
The Company competes principally with other Aframax owners through the
global tanker charter market, comprised of tanker broker companies which
represent both charterers and ship owners in chartering transactions. Within
this market, some transactions, referred to as "market cargoes," are offered by
charterers through two or more brokers simultaneously and shown to the widest
possible range of owners; other transactions, referred to as "private cargoes,"
are given by the charterer to only one broker and shown selectively to a limited
number of owners whose tankers are most likely to be acceptable to the charterer
and are in position to undertake the voyage. Management estimates that the
Company transacts approximately one-third of its spot voyages from market
cargoes, the remainder being either private cargoes or direct cargoes transacted
directly with charterers outside this market.

5
Other large operators of Aframax tonnage include Shell International
Marine, a subsidiary of Royal Dutch/Shell Petroleum Corporation, with
approximately 21 vessels trading globally (11 of which are on charter), Neptune
Orient Lines Ltd. (owned partially by the Singapore government), with
approximately 16 vessels, and Bona Shipholding Limited, which controls 15
vessels; each of the latter two fleets trade exclusively in the Atlantic Basin.
Management believes that it has significant competitive advantages in the
Aframax tanker market as a result of the age, quality, type and dimensions of
its vessels and its large market share in the Indo-Pacific Basin. Some
competitors of the Company, however, may have greater financial strength and
capital resources than the Company.
As part of its growth strategy, the Company will continue to consider
strategic opportunities, including business acquisitions. To the extent the
Company enters new geographic areas or tanker market segments, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully therein. New
markets may involve competitive factors which differ from those of the Aframax
market segment in the Indo-Pacific Basin and may include participants which have
greater financial strength and capital resources than the Company.
REGULATION
The business of the Company and the operation of its vessels are materially
affected by government regulation in the form of international conventions,
national, state and local laws and regulations in force in the jurisdictions in
which the vessels operate, as well as in the country or countries of their
registration. Because such conventions, laws, and regulations are often revised,
the Company cannot predict the ultimate cost of complying with such conventions,
laws and regulations or the impact thereof on the resale price or useful life of
its vessels. Additional conventions, laws and regulations may be adopted which
could limit the ability of the Company to do business or increase the cost of
its doing business and which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operations. The Company is required by various governmental and
quasi-governmental agencies to obtain certain permits, licenses and certificates
with respect to its operations. Subject to the discussion below and to the fact
that the kinds of permits, licenses and certificates required for the operations
of the vessels owned by the Company will depend upon a number of factors, the
Company believes that it has been and will be able to obtain all permits,
licenses and certificates material to the conduct of its operations.
The Company believes that the heightened environmental and quality concerns
of insurance underwriters, regulators and charterers will impose greater
inspection and safety requirements on all vessels in the tanker market and will
accelerate the scrapping of older vessels throughout the industry.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION--INTERNATIONAL MARITIME ORGANIZATION ("IMO"). On
March 6, 1992, the IMO adopted regulations which set forth new and upgraded
requirements for pollution prevention for tankers. These regulations, which went
into effect on July 6, 1995 in many jurisdictions in which the Company's tanker
fleet operates, provide that (i) tankers between 25 and 30 years old must be of
double-hull construction or of a mid-deck design with double side construction,
unless they have wing tanks or double-bottom spaces, not used for the carriage
of oil, which cover at least 30% of the length of the cargo tank section of the
hull or are capable of hydrostatically balanced loading which ensures at least
the same level of protection against oil spills in the event of collision or
stranding, (ii) tankers 30 years old or older must be of double-hull
construction or mid-deck design with double-side construction, and (iii) all
tankers will be subject to enhanced inspections. Also, under IMO regulations, a
tanker must be of double-hull construction or a mid-deck design with double side
construction or be of another approved design ensuring the same level of
protection against oil pollution in the event that such tanker (i) is the
subject of a contract for a major conversion or original construction on or
after July 6, 1993, (ii) commences a major conversion or has its keel laid on or
after January 6, 1994, or (iii) completes a major conversion or is a newbuilding
delivered on or after July 6, 1996.
Under the current regulations, the vessels of the Company's existing fleet
will be able to operate for substantially all of their respective economic lives
before being required to have double-hulls. Although three of the Company's
vessels are 15 years or older, the oldest of such vessels is only 18 years old
and,
5
6
therefore, the IMO requirements currently in effect regarding 25 and 30 year-old
tankers will not affect the Company's fleet in the near future. However,
compliance with the new regulations regarding inspections of all vessels may
adversely affect the Company's operations. The Company cannot at the present
time evaluate the likelihood or magnitude of any such adverse effect on the
Company's operations due to uncertainty of interpretation of the IMO
regulations.
The operation of the Company's vessels is also affected by the recently
adopted requirements set forth in the IMO's International Management Code for
the Safe Operation of Ships and Pollution Prevention (the "ISM Code"). The ISM
Code requires shipowners and bareboat charterers to develop and maintain an
extensive "Safety Management System" that includes the adoption of a safety and
environmental protection policy setting forth instructions and procedures for
safe operation and describing procedures for dealing with emergencies. The
failure of a shipowner or bareboat charterer to comply with the ISM Code may
subject such party to increased liability, may decrease available insurance
coverage for the affected vessels, and may result in a denial of access to, or
detention in, certain ports. Currently, each of the Company's applicable vessels
is ISM code-certified. However, there can be no assurance that such
certification will be maintained indefinitely.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS--THE UNITED STATES OIL POLLUTION ACT OF 1990
("OPA 90"). OPA 90 established an extensive regulatory and liability regime for
the protection and cleanup of the environment from oil spills. OPA 90 affects
all owners and operators whose vessels trade to the United States or its
territories or possessions or whose vessels operate in United States waters,
which include the United States' territorial sea and its two hundred nautical
mile exclusive economic zone.
Under OPA 90, vessel owners, operators and bareboat (or "demise")
charterers are "responsible parties" and are jointly, severally and strictly
liable (unless the spill results solely from the act or omission of a third
party, an act of God or an act of war) for all containment and clean-up costs
and other damages arising from discharges or threatened discharges of oil from
their vessels. These other damages are defined broadly to include (i) natural
resources damages and the costs of assessment thereof, (ii) real and personal
property damages, (iii) net loss of taxes, royalties, rents, fees and other lost
revenues, (iv) lost profits or impairment of earning capacity due to property or
natural resources damage, (v) net cost of public services necessitated by a
spill response, such as protection from fire, safety or health hazards, and (vi)
loss of subsistence use of natural resources. OPA 90 limits the liability of
responsible parties to the greater of $1,200 per gross ton or $10 million per
tanker that is over 3,000 gross tons (subject to possible adjustment for
inflation). These limits of liability would not apply if the incident was
proximately caused by violation of applicable United States federal safety,
construction or operating regulations or by the responsible party's gross
negligence or willful misconduct, or if the responsible party fails or refuses
to report the incident or to cooperate and assist in connection with the oil
removal activities. The Company currently plans to continue to maintain for each
of its vessels pollution liability coverage in the amount of $700 million per
incident. A catastrophic spill could exceed the insurance coverage available, in
which event there could be a material adverse effect on the Company.
Under OPA 90, with certain limited exceptions, all newly built or converted
tankers operating in United States waters must be built with double-hulls, and
existing vessels which do not comply with the double-hull requirement must be
phased out over a 25-year period (1990-2015) based on size, age and hull
construction. Only three of the Company's vessels are over 15 years old, and the
oldest of such vessels, the single-hulled Mendana Spirit, would not be
phased-out under the double-hull regulations until 2003. Notwithstanding the
phase-out period, OPA 90 currently permits existing single-hull tankers to
operate until the year 2015 if their operations within United States waters are
limited to discharging at the Louisiana Off-Shore Oil Platform, or off-loading
by means of lightering activities within authorized lightering zones more than
60 miles off-shore.
OPA 90 requires owners and operators of vessels to establish and maintain
with the United States Coast Guard (the "Coast Guard") evidence of financial
responsibility sufficient to meet their potential liabilities under OPA 90. In
December 1994, the Coast Guard implemented regulations requiring evidence of
financial responsibility in the amount of $1,500 per gross ton for tankers,
coupling the OPA limitation on
6
7
liability of $1,200 per gross ton with the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act liability limit of $300 per gross ton. Under the
regulations, such evidence of financial responsibility may be demonstrated by
insurance, surety bond, self-insurance, or guaranty. Under OPA 90, an owner or
operator of a fleet of tankers is required only to demonstrate evidence of
financial responsibility in an amount sufficient to cover the tanker in the
fleet having the greatest maximum liability under OPA 90.
The Coast Guard's regulations concerning certificates of financial
responsibility provide, in accordance with OPA 90, that claimants may bring suit
directly against an insurer or guarantor that furnishes certificates of
financial responsibility; and, in the event that such insurer or guarantor is
sued directly, it is prohibited from asserting any contractual defense that it
may have had against the responsible party and is limited to asserting those
defenses available to the responsible party and the defense that the incident
was caused by the willful misconduct of the responsible party. Certain
organizations, which had typically provided certificates of financial
responsibility under pre-OPA 90 laws, including the major protection and
indemnity organizations, declined to furnish evidence of insurance for vessel
owners and operators if they are subject to direct actions or required to waive
insurance policy defenses.
The Coast Guard's financial responsibility regulations may also be
satisfied by evidence of surety bond, guaranty or by self-insurance. Under the
self-insurance provisions, the ship owner or operator must have a net worth and
working capital, measured in assets located in the United States against
liabilities located anywhere in the world, that exceeds the applicable amount of
financial responsibility. The Company has complied with the Coast Guard
regulations by providing a financial guaranty from a related company evidencing
sufficient self-insurance.
OPA 90 specifically permits individual states to impose their own liability
regimes with regard to oil pollution incidents occurring within their
boundaries, and some states have enacted legislation providing for unlimited
liability for oil spills. In some cases, states which have enacted such
legislation have not yet issued implementing regulations defining tanker owners'
responsibilities under these laws. The Company intends to comply with all
applicable state regulations in the ports where the Company's vessels call.
Owners or operators of tankers operating in United States waters are
required to file vessel response plans with the Coast Guard, and their tankers
are required to operate in compliance with their Coast Guard approved plans.
Such response plans must, among other things, (i) address a "worst case"
scenario and identify and ensure, through contract or other approved means, the
availability of necessary private response resources to respond to a "worst case
discharge," (ii) describe crew training and drills, and (iii) identify a
qualified individual with full authority to implement removal actions. The
Company has filed vessel response plans with the Coast Guard for the tankers
owned by the Company and has received approval of such plans for all vessels in
its fleet to operate in United States waters.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION--OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES. The European
Union is considering legislation that will affect the operation of tankers and
the liability of owners for oil pollution. It is impossible to predict what
legislation, if any, may be promulgated by the European Union or any other
country or authority.
Although the United States is not a party thereto, many countries have
ratified and follow the liability scheme adopted by the IMO and set out in the
International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, 1969, as
amended (the "CLC"), and the Convention for the Establishment of an
International Fund for Oil Pollution of 1971, as amended. Under these
conventions, a vessel's registered owner is strictly liable for pollution damage
caused on the territorial waters of a contracting state by discharge of
persistent oil, subject to certain complete defenses. Approximately one-quarter
of the countries that have ratified the CLC have increased the liability limits
through a 1992 Protocol to the CLC which has recently become effective. The
liability limits in the countries that have ratified this Protocol are currently
approximately $4.0 million plus approximately $566.0 per gross registered tonne
above 5,000 gross tonnes with an approximate maximum of $80.5 million, with the
exact amount tied to a unit of account
7
8
which varies according to a basket of currencies. The right to limit liability
is forfeited under the CLC where the spill is caused by the owner's actual fault
or privity and, under the 1992 Protocol, where the spill is caused by the
owner's intentional or reckless conduct. Vessels trading to contracting states
must provide evidence of insurance covering the limited liability of the owner.
In jurisdictions where the CLC has not been adopted, various legislative schemes
or common law govern, and liability is imposed either on the basis of fault or
in a manner similar to the CLC.
RISK OF LOSS AND INSURANCE
The operation of any ocean-going vessel carries an inherent risk of
catastrophic marine disasters and property losses caused by adverse weather
conditions, mechanical failures, human error, war, terrorism, piracy and other
circumstances or events. In addition, the transportation of crude oil is subject
to the risk of crude oil spills, and business interruptions due to political
circumstances in foreign countries, hostilities, labor strikes, and boycotts.
Any such event may result in loss of revenues or increased costs.
The Company carries insurance to protect against most of the
accident-related risks involved in the conduct of its business and it maintains
environmental damage and pollution insurance coverage. The Company does not
carry insurance covering the loss of revenue resulting from vessel off-hire
time. There can be no assurance that all covered risks are adequately insured
against, that any particular claim will be paid or that the Company will be able
to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the
future. More stringent environmental regulations at times in the past have
resulted in increased costs for, and may result in the lack of availability of,
insurance against the risks of environmental damage or pollution.
OPERATIONS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
The operations of the Company are primarily conducted outside of the United
States and, therefore, may be affected by currency fluctuations and by changing
economic, political and governmental conditions in the countries where the
Company is engaged in business or where its vessels are registered. During the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, the Company derived approximately 92% of its
total revenues from its operations in the Indo-Pacific Basin. In the past,
political conflicts in such regions, particularly in the Arabian Gulf, have
included attacks on tankers, mining of waterways and other efforts to disrupt
shipping in the area. Vessels trading in such regions have also been subject to,
in limited instances, acts of terrorism and piracy. Future hostilities or other
political instability in the region could affect the Company's trade patterns
and adversely affect the Company's operations and performance.
CREWING AND STAFF
The Company employs approximately 300 captains, chief engineers, chief
officers and first engineers, approximately 1,450 additional personnel at sea
and approximately 200 personnel ashore. Management anticipates hiring additional
senior management and staff personnel in connection with any further expansion
of its operations.
The Company places great emphasis on attracting, through its recruiting
offices in Manila, Glasgow, Sydney and Mumbai, qualified crew members for
employment on the Company's tankers. Recruiting has become an increasingly
difficult task for operators in the tanker industry. The Company pays
competitive salaries and provides competitive benefits to its personnel and
tries to promote, when possible, from within their ranks. Management believes
that the well maintained quarters and equipment on the Company's vessels help to
attract and retain motivated and qualified seamen and officers. During fiscal
1996, the Company entered into a Collective Bargaining Agreement with the
Philippine Seafarers' Union (PSU), an affiliate of the International Transport
Workers' Federation (ITF), and a Special Agreement
8
9
with ITF London, which covers substantially all of the Company's junior officers
and seamen. The Collective Bargaining Agreement and the Special Agreement did
not result in any significant increase in the levels of wages paid or benefits
provided to members of the vessel crews. The Company is also a party to
Enterprise Bargaining Agreements with three Australian maritime unions, covering
officers and seamen. The time charters covering the Australian vessels provide
that increases in wages or benefits for the Company's Australian-crewed vessels
will be passed on to the customer.
The Company has a cadet training program, the purpose of which is to
develop a cadre of future senior officers for the Company, with one specially
equipped vessel staffed with an instructor and trainees. In addition to the
basic training that all seamen are required to undergo to achieve certification,
the Company provides additional training of as much as one month for all newly
hired seamen and junior officers at training facilities in the Philippines.
Safety procedures are a critical element of this training and continue to be
emphasized through the Company's onboard training program. Management believes
that high quality manning and training policies will play an increasingly
important role in distinguishing larger independent tanker companies which have
in-house (or affiliate) capabilities, from smaller companies that must rely on
outside ship managers and crewing agents.
CUSTOMERS
Customers of the Company include major oil companies, major oil traders,
large oil consumers and petroleum product producers, government agencies, and
various other entities dependent upon the tanker transportation trade. During
fiscal 1998, one customer (an international oil company) accounted for $56.5
million, or approximately 14%, of the Company's consolidated voyage revenues for
such period. Another customer, also an international oil company, accounted for
$48.7 million, or approximately 13%, of the Company's fiscal 1997 voyage
revenues. No more than one customer has accounted for more than 10% of the
Company's consolidated voyage revenues in any of the three fiscal years ended
March 31, 1998.
TAXATION OF THE COMPANY
The legal jurisdictions of the countries in which the Company and the
majority of its subsidiaries are incorporated do not impose income taxes upon
shipping-related activities.

Many of the Company's vessels have been designed and constructed as
substantially identical sister ships. Such vessels can, in many situations, be
interchanged, providing scheduling flexibility and greater capacity utilization.
In addition, spare parts and technical knowledge can be applied to all the
vessels in the particular series, thereby generating operating efficiencies.
The Company has disposed of several vessels as part of its ongoing fleet
modernization program. The Company sold a total of three of its older Aframax
tankers during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, and acquired a total of six
newer Aframax tankers (including two time-chartered-in vessels) and two modern
product tankers during the same period. As a result, the Company's average fleet
size increased by two vessels, or 4.9%, in fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997,
following an earlier increase of two vessels, or 4.6%, in fiscal 1997 compared
to fiscal 1996. The Company currently has two double-hull newbuildings on order
(subject to certain conditions to be satisfied by the builder), with deliveries
scheduled for July and September 1999. The estimated delivered price for each
vessel, including all related charges, is approximately $38.0 million. The
Company has the option to purchase further newbuildings under similar terms.
See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information with
respect to major encumbrances against vessels of the Company.
CLASSIFICATION AND INSPECTION
All of the Company's vessels have been certified as being "in class" by
their respective classification societies: Nippon Kaiji Kyokai, Lloyds Register,
Det Norske Veritas or American Bureau of Shipping. Every commercial vessel's
hull and machinery is "classed" by a classification society authorized by its
country of registry. The classification society certifies that the vessel has
been built and maintained in accordance with the rules of such classification
society and complies with applicable rules and regulations of the country of
registry of the vessel and the international conventions of which that country
is a member. Each vessel is inspected by a surveyor of the classification
society every year ("Annual Survey"), every two to three years ("Intermediate
Survey") and every four to five years ("Special Survey"). Vessels also may be
required, as part of the Intermediate Survey process, to be dry-docked every 24
to 30 months for inspection of the underwater parts of the vessel and for
necessary repair related to such inspection. Many of the Company's vessels have
qualified with their respective classification societies for drydocking every
five years in connection with the Special Survey and are no longer subject to
the Intermediate Survey drydocking process. To so qualify, the Company was
required to enhance the resiliency of the underwater coatings of each such
vessel as well as to install apparatus on each vessel to accommodate thorough
underwater inspection by divers.
In addition to the classification inspections, many of the Company's
customers, including the major oil companies, regularly inspect the Company's
vessels as a precondition to chartering voyages on such vessels. In each of the
last eight years, Tanker Advisory Center, Inc. (New York) has rated the
Company's fleet a "meritorious tanker fleet," a designation which, in the latest
publication (January 1998), placed it in the top 5% of all fleets containing
five or more tankers. Management believes that the Company's well-maintained,
high quality tonnage should provide it with a competitive advantage in the
current environment of increasing regulation and customer emphasis on quality of
service.
Company employees perform much of the necessary ordinary course maintenance
and regularly inspect all of the Company's vessels, both at sea and while the
vessels are in port. The Company inspects its vessels two to four times per year
using predetermined and rigorous criteria. Each vessel is examined and specific
notations are made, and recommendations are given for improvements to the
overall condition of the vessel, maintenance, safety and crew welfare.
The Company has obtained through Det Norske Veritas, the Norwegian
classification society, a document of compliance with the ISO 9000 standards of
total quality management. ISO 9000 is a series of international standards for
quality systems which includes ISO 9002, the standard most commonly used in the
shipping industry. The Company has also completed the implementation of the
International
11
12
Safety Management (ISM) code. The Company has obtained Documents of Compliance
(DOC) for its offices and Safety Management Certificates (SMC) for its
applicable vessels, as required by the IMO prior to July 1, 1998.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time the Company has been, and expects to continue to be,
subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of its business,
principally personal injury and property casualty claims. Such claims, even if
lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and
managerial resources. The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or
claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material
adverse effect on the Company or on its financial condition or results of
operations.

(1) For the 12 months ended March 31, 1994, voyage revenues were $345.0
million; income from vessel operations was $64.4 million; net income was
$32.0 million; cash earnings were $121.6 million; and EBITDA was $162.3
million. For the eleven-month period ended March 31, 1994, EBITDA for the
12 months ended March 31, 1994 was used for purposes of computing total
debt to EBITDA, in order to facilitate comparisons to other periods.
(2) Cash earnings represents income from continuing operations before foreign
exchange gains (losses) and before depreciation and amortization expense.
Cash earnings is included because it is used by certain investors to
measure a company's financial performance as compared to other companies in
the shipping industry. Cash earnings is not required by generally accepted
accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to net
income or any other indicator of the Company's performance required by
generally accepted accounting principles.
(3) EBITDA represents net income from continuing operations before interest
expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense,
minority interest, and gains or losses arising from prepayment of debt,
foreign exchange translation and disposal of assets. EBITDA is included
because such data is used by certain investors to measure a company's
financial performance. EBITDA is not required by generally accepted
accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to net
income or any other indicator of the Company's performance required by
generally accepted accounting principles.
(4) For purposes of computing EBITDA to interest expense, interest expense
includes capitalized interest but excludes amortization of loan costs.
(5) Net debt represents total debt less cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities.
(6) Includes vessels time-chartered-in, but excludes vessels of discontinued
operations and a former joint venture.
(7) Average age of Company's Aframax fleet is the average age, at the end of
the relevant period, of all the vessels owned, leased or time-chartered-in
by the Company, excluding vessels of discontinued operations and a former
joint venture.
(8) TCE (or "time charter equivalent") is a measure of the revenue performance
of a vessel, which, on a per voyage basis, is generally determined by
Clarkson Research Studies Inc.'s ("Clarkson") and other industry data
sources by subtracting voyage expenses (except commissions) which are
incurred in transporting cargo from gross revenue per voyage and dividing
the remaining revenue by the total number of days required for the
round-trip voyage. Voyage expenses comprise all expenses relating to
particular voyages, including bunker fuel expense, port fees and canal
tolls. For purposes of calculating the Company's average TCE for the year,
TCE has been calculated consistent with Clarkson's method, by deducting
total voyage expenses (except commissions) from total voyage revenues and
dividing the remaining sum by the Company's total voyage days in the year.
(9) To facilitate comparison to prior years' results, excludes the results from
the Company's Australian-crewed vessels, which comprised four of the
Company's vessels during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. Vessel
operating expenses for the Australian-crewed vessels are substantially
higher than those for the rest of the Company's fleet on a per ship basis,
primarily as a result of higher crew costs, with correspondingly higher
charter rates associated with the charter arrangements for those vessels.
See "Item 9. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition--General."
(10) Vessel operating expenses consist of all expenses relating to the operation
of vessels (other than voyage expenses), including crewing, repairs and
maintenance, insurance, stores and lubes, and miscellaneous expenses
including communications. Ship days are calculated on the basis of a
365-day year multiplied by the average number of vessels in the Company's
fleet for the respective year. Vessel operating expenses exclude vessels
time-chartered-in.
(11) Operating cash flow represents income from vessel operations plus
depreciation and amortization expense (other than drydock amortization
expense). Ship days are calculated on the basis of a 365-day fiscal year
multiplied by the average number of vessels in the Company's fleet for the
respective year. Operating cash flow is not required by generally accepted
accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to net
income or any other indicator of the Company's performance required by
generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM 9.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
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 from the Red Sea to the U.S. West
Coast. The Company's current operating fleet consists of 46 vessels, including
42 Aframax oil tankers (including three vessels time-chartered-in) and O/B/O
carriers, three smaller oil tankers, and one VLCC, for a total cargo-carrying
capacity of approximately 4.6 million tonnes.
During fiscal 1998, approximately 66% of the Company's net voyage revenue
was derived from spot voyages. The balance of the Company's revenue is generated
primarily by two other modes of employment: time charters, whereby vessels are
chartered to customers for a fixed period; and contracts of affreightment
("COAs"), whereby the Company carries an agreed quantity of cargo for a customer
over a specified trade route over a given period of time. In fiscal 1998, 18% of
net voyage revenues was generated by time charters and COAs priced on a spot
market basis. In the aggregate, approximately 84% of the Company's net voyage
revenue during fiscal 1998 was derived from spot voyages or time charters and
COAs priced on a spot market basis, with the remaining 16% being derived from
fixed-rate time-charters and COAs. This dependence 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 markets have
historically exhibited seasonal variations in charter rates. Tanker markets are
typically stronger in the winter months as a result of increased oil consumption
in the northern hemisphere and unpredictable weather patterns which tend to
disrupt vessel scheduling.
In December 1997, the Company acquired two vessels and related shore
support services from an Australian affiliate of Caltex Petroleum. These two
tankers, together with one of the Company's existing Aframax tankers, have been
time chartered to the Caltex affiliate in connection with the Company's
provision of Caltex's oil transportation requirements formerly provided by that
affiliate. The Company has converted one of its existing vessels to a floating
storage and off-loading vessel, which is sharing crews with the vessels employed
in the Caltex arrangement (together with the other three vessels involved in
this arrangement, the "Australian Vessels"). Vessel operating expenses for the
Australian Vessels are substantially higher than those for the rest of the
Company's fleet, primarily as a result of higher costs associated with employing
an Australian crew. The time-charter rates for the Australian Vessels are
correspondingly higher to compensate for these increased costs. During fiscal
1998, the Australian Vessels earned net voyage revenues and an average TCE rate
of $8.4 million and $25,347, respectively, and incurred vessel operating
expenses of $3.2 million, or $10,276 on a per ship per day basis. The results of
the Australian Vessels are included in the Company's Consolidated Financial
Statements included herein.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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 voyage 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.
17
18
FISCAL 1998, FISCAL 1997, AND FISCAL 1996
Operating results for the past three years reflect the improvement in
average TCE rates experienced by the Company's fleet during this period, as well
as the increase in the size of the Company fleet. The Company sold a total of
seven of its older Aframax tankers during the three fiscal years ended March 31,
1998, and acquired a total of twelve newer Aframax tankers (including two
time-chartered-in vessels) and two modern product tankers during the same
period. As a result, the Company's average fleet size increased by two vessels,
or 4.9%, in fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997, following an earlier increase
of two vessels, or 4.6%, in fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996.
Net voyage revenues increased 8.9% to $305.3 million in fiscal 1998 from
$280.2 million in fiscal 1997, and increased 14.0% in fiscal 1997 from $245.7
million in fiscal 1996, reflecting a combination of improvement in TCE rates and
an increase in the Company's fleet size. The Company's average TCE rate in
fiscal 1998, excluding the Australian Vessels, was up 5.0% to $21,373 from
$20,356 in fiscal 1997, and up 10.4% in fiscal 1997 from $18,438 in fiscal 1996,
in part due to lower bunker fuel prices.
In spite of the increase in fleet size, vessel operating expenses decreased
2.9% to $70.5 million in fiscal 1998 from $72.6 million in fiscal 1997,
primarily as a result of a reduction in insurance premiums as well as more
favorable foreign exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and certain Asian
currencies, particularly the Japanese Yen and the Korean Won, for spare parts
and supplies purchased during the latter half of fiscal 1998. In fiscal 1997,
vessel operating expenses increased 7.0%, from $67.8 million in fiscal 1996,
primarily as a result of the increase in the size of the Company's owned fleet.
As a result of a more competitive market for qualified sea-going personnel,
adjustments were made to crew wage rates and salaries effective April 1, 1998,
which will increase vessel operating expenses by approximately $300 per ship per
day, or $4.3 million per year in aggregate, commencing in fiscal 1999.
Time-charter hire expense was $10.6 million in fiscal 1998, up from $3.5
million in fiscal 1997 and $2.5 million in fiscal 1996, as a result of two
vessels time-chartered-in by the Company during fiscal 1998 as compared to only
one vessel time-chartered-in during the latter part of fiscal 1996 and part of
fiscal 1997.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 4.6% to $94.9 million in
fiscal 1998 from $90.7 million in fiscal 1997, and increased by 10.1% in fiscal
1997 from $82.4 million in fiscal 1996, as a result of the increase in the
average size of the Company's owned fleet, an increase in the average cost base
of the fleet resulting from the replacement of some of the Company's older
vessels with newer vessels, and a larger than usual number of scheduled
drydockings during the past two fiscal years. Depreciation and amortization
expense included amortization of drydocking costs of $11.7 million, $10.9
million, and $8.6 million in fiscal years 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively.
General and administrative expenses rose 12.1% to $21.5 million in fiscal
1998 from $19.2 million in fiscal 1997, and increased 14.7% in fiscal 1997 from
$16.8 million in fiscal 1996, primarily as a result of the cost of compliance
with increasingly stringent tanker industry regulations, increases in senior
management compensation, and the start-up cost and additional ongoing personnel
and facility costs associated with expanding the Company's Australian office in
December 1997. Management anticipates hiring additional senior management and
staff personnel in connection with the further expansion of the Company's
operations.
Income from vessel operations increased 14.2% to $107.6 million in fiscal
1998 from $94.3 million in fiscal 1997, and increased 23.6% in fiscal 1997 from
$76.3 million in fiscal 1996, due to improved TCE rates and relatively stable
costs.
Interest expense decreased by 7.4% to $56.3 million in fiscal 1998 from
$60.8 million in fiscal 1997, following a 3.3% decrease in fiscal 1997 from
$62.9 million in fiscal 1996, reflecting the reduction in the Company's average
debt balance and a lower average interest rate on debt borrowings, in each case
compared to the prior fiscal year. The Company anticipates using the net
proceeds it receives from a proposed public offering of its Common Stock to
redeem a portion of its 9 5/8% First Preferred Ship
18
19
Mortgage Notes due 2003. Interest income of $7.9 million in fiscal 1998, $6.4
million in fiscal 1997, and $6.5 million in fiscal 1996, largely reflected
increasing cash balances, offset in fiscal 1997 by lower interest rates.
Other income of $11.2 million in fiscal 1998 consisted primarily of $14.4
million in gains on the sale of three vessels, offset partially by $3.5 million
in losses related to the prepayment of debt. Other income of $2.8 million in
fiscal 1997 and $9.2 million in fiscal 1996 consisted primarily of gains on the
sale of vessels.
As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company's net income was $70.5
million in fiscal 1998, which included $14.4 million in gains on asset sales. In
comparison, the Company's net income was $42.6 million in fiscal 1997, which
included $2.7 million in gains on assets sales, and $29.1 million in fiscal
1996, which included $8.8 million in gains on asset sales.
The following table illustrates the relationship between fleet size
(measured in ship-days), TCE performance, and operating results per calendar
ship-day. To facilitate comparison to the prior years' results, the figures in
the table below exclude the results from the Company's Australian Vessels.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's total liquidity, including cash, marketable securities and
undrawn long-term lines of credit, was $186.3 million as at March 31, 1998, down
from $258.6 million as at March 31, 1997, and $197.3 million as at March 31,
1996. The Company's total liquidity had been increasing as a result of
internally generated cash and debt refinancings, but declined during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1998 due to the purchase of two vessels which were paid for
using existing cash balances and borrowings under the Revolver (as defined
below). Net cash flow from operating activities was $161.1 million in fiscal
1998, compared to $139.2 million and $98.4 million in fiscal years 1997 and
1996, respectively, reflecting an improvement in tanker charter market
conditions accompanied by a relatively stable cost environment, the increase in
the size of the Company's fleet, and a reduction in interest expense.
In January 1998, the Company replaced its existing revolving credit
facility with a new revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") providing for
borrowing of up to $200.0 million. The amount available under the Revolver
reduces by $10.0 million semi-annually commencing in July 1999, with a final
balloon reduction in January 2006. Interest payments are based on LIBOR plus a
margin depending on the financial leverage of the Company; at March 31, 1998 the
margin was +0.50%.
Scheduled debt repayments were $33.9 million during fiscal 1998, compared
to $16.0 million in fiscal 1997 and $57.9 million in fiscal 1996. In addition to
scheduled debt repayments, the Company prepaid long-term debt of $150.7 million
in fiscal 1998, primarily representing prepayments out of the
19
20
proceeds of the Revolver and repurchases of $26.3 million of its 9 5/8% First
Preferred Ship Mortgage Notes due 2003.
Dividends declared during fiscal 1998 were $24.6 million, or $0.86 per
share, of which $16.0 million was paid in cash and $8.6 million was paid in the
form of shares of Common Stock issued under the Company's dividend reinvestment
plan.
Three vessels were sold in fiscal 1998, resulting in net proceeds of $33.9
million. Subsequent to March 31, 1998, the Company sold an additional vessel for
net proceeds of approximately $10.5 million. In fiscal 1997, the Company sold
its remaining 50%-owned vessel, resulting in net proceeds of $6.4 million which
the Company received in the early part of fiscal 1998.
During fiscal 1998, the Company incurred capital expenditures for vessels
and equipment of $197.2 million, primarily as a result of taking delivery of two
newbuilding double-hull Aframax tankers, two modern second-hand Aframax tankers,
and two modern second-hand product tankers. Capital expenditures for drydocking
were $18.4 million in fiscal 1998, $16.6 million in fiscal 1997, and $7.4
million in fiscal 1996, reflecting a larger than usual number of scheduled
drydockings during the last two fiscal years. Subsequent to March 31, 1998, the
Company entered into an agreement for the construction of two newbuilding
double-hull Aframax tankers, with deliveries scheduled for July and September
1999, with the option to purchase further newbuildings under similar terms. The
agreement is subject to certain conditions that must be satisfied by the
tankers' builder. The estimated delivered price for each vessel, including all
related charges, is approximately $38.0 million. The Company intends to pay for
these purchases by using existing cash balances, borrowings under the Revolver
or other debt financing.
As part of its growth strategy, the Company will continue to consider
strategic opportunities, including the acquisition of additional vessels and the
expansion into new markets. The Company may choose to pursue such opportunities
through internal growth, joint ventures, or business acquisitions. The Company
intends to finance any future acquisitions through various sources of capital,
including internally generated cash flow, existing credit lines, additional debt
borrowings, and the issuance of additional shares of capital stock.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Company relies on computer systems and software to operate its
business, including applications used in chartering, shipping, communications,
finance and various administrative functions. To the extent that the Company's
software applications contain source code that is unable to appropriately
interpret the calendar year 2000 and subsequent years, some level of
modification or replacement of such applications will be necessary. The Company
is reviewing all of its systems in order to verify that they are "Year 2000
compliant" and believes, with limited exceptions, that they will require only
minor modification. Accordingly, management does not expect Year 2000 compliance
costs to have a material adverse effect on the Company. No assurance can be
given, however, that all of the Company's systems will be Year 2000 compliant or
that compliance costs or the impact of the Company's failure to achieve full
Year 2000 compliance will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. In
addition, the Company could be adversely affected by the failure of one or more
of its customers, lenders, suppliers or other organizations with which it
conducts business to become fully Year 2000 compliant.

AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Shareholders of
TEEKAY SHIPPING CORPORATION
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TEEKAY
SHIPPING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES as of March 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related consolidated statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 1998. Our audits also
included the financial schedule listed in the Index: Item 19(a). These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Teekay Shipping Corporation and subsidiaries as at March 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended March 31, 1998, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our
opinion, the related schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material aspects
the information set forth therein.

TEEKAY SHIPPING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 are 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 Liberia, 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 generally
accepted accounting principles 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.
Investment
The Company's 50% interest in Viking Consolidated Shipping Corp. ("VCSC")
is carried at the Company's original cost plus its proportionate share of the
undistributed net income. On March 12, 1997, VCSC sold its one remaining vessel
and it is not anticipated that the operating companies of VCSC will have active
operations in the near future. The disposal of this vessel and the related gain
on sale has been reflected in these consolidated financial statements (see Note
10 -- Other Income).
Operating revenues and expenses
Voyage revenues and expenses are recognized on the percentage of completion
method of accounting. 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 and lubes, and miscellaneous expenses including communications.
Marketable securities
The Company's investments in marketable securities are classified as
available-for-sale securities and are carried at fair value. Net unrealized
gains or losses on available-for-sale securities, if material, are reported as a
separate component of stockholders' equity.
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
F-5
36
TEEKAY SHIPPING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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)
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, estimated by the Company to be twenty years from
the date a vessel is initially placed in service.
Interest costs capitalized to vessels and equipment for the years ended
March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 aggregated $283,000, $232,000, and $106,000,
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 years ended March
31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 aggregated $11,737,000, $10,941,000, and $8,617,000
respectively.
Vessels acquired pursuant to bareboat hire purchase agreements are
capitalized as capital leases and are amortized over the estimated useful life
of the acquired vessel.
Other assets
Loan costs, including fees, commissions and legal expenses, are capitalized
and amortized 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 is accrued as interest rates change
and is recognized as an adjustment to interest expenses. 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
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 flows
Cash interest paid during the years ended March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996
totaled $55,141,000, $57,400,000, and $59,021,000, respectively.
The Company classifies all highly liquid investments with a maturity date
of three months or less when purchased as cash and cash equivalents.
Income taxes
The legal jurisdictions of the countries in which the Company and the
majority of its subsidiaries are incorporated do not impose income taxes upon
shipping-related activities.
Earnings per share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 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

TEEKAY SHIPPING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

earnings ending after December 15, 1997 for all entities with complex capital
structures. The Company's EPS for all periods presented herein are in conformity
with SFAS 128 (see Note 8--Capital Stock).
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Effective April 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." SFAS 123 requires expanded disclosures of stock-based
compensation arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not require)
companies 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 8--Capital Stock).
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.
A single customer, an international oil company, accounted for
approximately 14% ($56,537,000) of the Company's consolidated voyage revenues
for fiscal 1998. Another customer, also an international oil company, accounted
for approximately 13% ($48,696,000), of consolidated voyage revenues for fiscal
1997. No more than one customer accounted for over 10% of the Company's
consolidated voyage revenues in any of the last three fiscal years.

In January 1998, the Company refinanced approximately $105.0 million of its
floating rate debt and replaced the previous 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 $10.0 million semi-annually commencing in July 1999, with a final balloon
reduction in January 2006. Interest payments are based on LIBOR plus a margin
depending on the financial leverage of the Company; at March 31, 1998 the margin
was +0.50%. As at March 31, 1998, the undrawn amount available under the
Revolver was $71.0 million. The Revolver is collateralized by first priority
mortgages granted on eight of the Company's Aframax tankers, together with
certain other related collateral, and a guarantee from the Company for all
amounts outstanding under the Revolver.
The 8.32% First Preferred Ship Mortgage Notes due February 1, 2008 (the
"8.32% Notes") are collateralized by first preferred mortgages on seven of the
Company's Aframax tankers, together with certain other related collateral, and
are guaranteed by seven subsidiaries of Teekay that own the mortgaged vessels
(the "8.32% Notes Guarantor Subsidiaries") to a maximum of 95% of the fair value
of their net assets. As at March 31, 1998, the fair value of these net assets
approximated $252.0 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.
Upon the 8.32% Notes achieving Investment Grade Status and subject to
certain other conditions, the guarantees of the 8.32% Notes Guarantor
Subsidiaries will terminate, all of the collateral securing the obligations of
the Company and the 8.32% Notes Guarantor Subsidiaries under the Indenture and
the Security Documents 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.

The 9 5/8% First Preferred Ship Mortgage Notes due July 15, 2003 (the

Company's Aframax tankers, together with certain other related collateral, and

fund, which will retire $25.0 million principal amount of the 9 5/8% Notes on
each July 15, which commenced on July 15, 1997. During fiscal 1998, the Company
repurchased a principal amount of $26.3 million of the 9 5/8% Notes. During
fiscal 1996, the Company repurchased $23.8 million of these notes, which was
applied to reduce the July 15, 1997 sinking fund requirement. The 9 5/8% Notes
are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, on or after
July 15, 1998 at the following redemption prices expressed as a percentage of
principal:
JULY 15 REDEMPTION PRICE
------- ----------------
1998................................................ 104.813%
1999................................................ 102.406%
2000................................................ 100.000%
Upon a Change of Control, each 9 5/8% Note holder and 8.32% Note holder has
the right, unless the Company elects to redeem these Notes, to require the
Company to purchase these Notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued
interest.
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.
All floating rate loans are collateralized by first preferred mortgages on
the vessels to which the loans relate, together with certain other collateral,
and guarantees from Teekay.
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 penalties), 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 March 31,
1998, to $74.0 million.
As at March 31, 1998, the Company was committed to a series of interest
rate swap agreements whereby $150 million of the Company's floating rate debt
was swapped with fixed rate obligations having an average remaining term of 7.5
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 5.86%. The
Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counter
parties to the interest rate swap agreements; however, the Company does not
anticipate non-performance by any of the counter parties.
The aggregate annual long-term debt principal repayments required to be
made for the five fiscal years subsequent to March 31, 1998 are $52,932,000
(fiscal 1999), $53,058,000 (fiscal 2000), $53,191,000 (fiscal 2001), $62,332,000
(fiscal 2002), and $72,199,000 (fiscal 2003).

7. 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 -- The fair value of interest rate swaps,
used for hedging purposes, is the estimated amount that the Company would
receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into
account current interest rates and the current credit worthiness of the swap
counter parties.
The estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments is as
follows:

8.10 years.
The Company applies APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and
related Interpretations in accounting for its employee stock options (see Note
1--Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation). Under APB 25, because the exercise
price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
Had the Company recognized compensation costs for the Grants consistent
with the methods recommended by SFAS 123 (see Note 1--Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation), the Company's net income and earnings per share for those fiscal
years would have been stated at the pro forma amounts as follows:

1997; and 24,902,000 shares at March 31, 1996.
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 6.29%, 6.44%, and 6.14% for fiscal 1998, fiscal 1997
and fiscal 1996, respectively; dividend yield of 3.0%; expected volatility of
