PRESS RELEASE


M/V SEABULK PRIDE struck by Ice Floe


Fort Lauderdale, Florida
February 2, 2006

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - At approximately 5:25 a.m. local Alaska time today, the
M/V SEABULK PRIDE, a 1998 built double hull tanker, owned and operated by a
subsidiary of Seabulk International, Inc. (the Company) and on charter to Tesoro
Corporation, was struck by an ice floe and before loading was completed broke
away from the Tesoro dock in Nikiski, Alaska. At the time, the M/V SEABULK PRIDE
was loading heavy vacuum gas oil (HVGO) and unleaded gasoline. Some product was
released during this incident. The Company does not have an estimate as to the
amount of product released, and there are no reports of oil near the vessel at
this time. No injuries were reported by the ship or the dock. The vessel is
currently aground approximately a half mile north of the dock. The vessel has
confirmed that the tanks in the vessel are currently secure.

The Company has initiated responsive action to secure the ship, and has notified
the U.S. Coast Guard and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation
(ADEC) of the incident. Tesoro has activated its Unified Command System in
response to the incident and the Company is actively engaged in those efforts as
well. Questions relating to Tesoro's response should be directed to Sarah
Simpson at 210-862-2243.
