                 REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER PROFIT OF $31.2 MILLION


4TH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

o    Net income of $31.2 million, or $0.78 per share
o    International Fleet TCE earnings of $21,203 per day
o    Completed $100 million add-on Senior Notes issue
o    Repurchased, as of December 31, 2001, a total of 512,800 shares

Nassau, The Bahamas, February 20, 2002 - Teekay Shipping Corporation today
reported net income of $31.2 million, or $0.78 per share, for the quarter ended
December 31, 2001, compared to net income of $122.5 million, or $3.04 per share,
for the quarter ended December 31, 2000. Net voyage revenues for the quarter
were $152.2 million, compared to $206.7 million recorded in the same period last
year, while income from vessel operations decreased to $46.1 million, from
$133.5 million. The results for the current quarter over the same period last
year reflect a significant decline in tanker charter rates from the record high
levels experienced during the first half of 2001, partially offset by the
acquisition of Ugland Nordic Shipping ASA in March 2001.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $336.5 million, or $8.31 per
share, compared to $270.0 million, or $6.86 per share, for the same period last
year. The results for the year ended December 31, 2001 include a $10.2 million,
or $0.25 per share, gain on sale of three vessels that were sold by a joint
venture, in which Teekay owns a 50% interest. Net voyage revenues for the year
ended December 31, 2001 were $789.5 million, compared to $644.3 million in the
same period last year, while income from vessel operations increased to $383.5
million from $327.7 million.

The following key indicators serve to highlight changes in operating
performance:

TANKER MARKET

Tanker charter rates declined during the fourth quarter and have continued to
weaken into the first quarter of 2002. In response to slowing economic growth,
OPEC implemented a series of oil production cutbacks during 2001, which caused a
reduction in the demand for crude oil transportation services. OPEC oil
production was 2.7 million barrels per day ("mb/d") lower in the fourth quarter
of 2001 compared to the corresponding period in the previous year, while
non-OPEC production rose by 1.1 mb/d over that same period. Since a large
proportion of OPEC oil production is exported via long-haul tanker routes, this
shift from OPEC to non-OPEC oil production, which is primarily exported via
short-haul tanker routes, further reduced tanker demand.

The International Energy Agency ("IEA") estimates that global oil demand, an
underlying driver of tanker demand, averaged 76.3 mbpd during the fourth
quarter, up 0.9% over the preceding quarter, but 0.7% lower than the fourth
quarter of last year. Annual global oil demand growth during 2001 was only
marginally positive at 0.1% as a result of negative year-on-year growth in the
second half of 2001. As of February 8, 2002, the IEA was forecasting oil demand
of 76.5 mbpd for 2002, a 0.7% increase over 2001.

The size of the world tanker and OBO fleet decreased to 304.2 million deadweight
tonnes ("mdwt") as of December 31, 2001, down 2.3% from the end of the previous
quarter. This decrease was due to a high pace of scrapping of older tankers
which are experiencing poor earnings, rising maintenance costs and near-term
regulatory phase-out. A total of 7.6 mdwt was sold for demolition in the fourth
quarter, compared to 2.9 mdwt in the previous quarter, while deliveries of
tanker newbuildings during the fourth quarter totalled 2.1 mdwt, down from 2.8
mdwt in the previous quarter. Overall for 2001, the tanker fleet declined by 6.2
mdwt, or 2.0%, the largest net reduction in tanker supply in over a decade.

The world tanker and OBO orderbook decreased to 63.7 mdwt at December 31, 2001,
representing 20.9% of the total world tanker and OBO fleet, down from 65.0 mdwt
at September 30, 2001. The Aframax tanker orderbook decreased from 125 vessels
at September 30, 2001 to 120 vessels as of December 31, 2001, or from 19.8% to
19.1% of the world Aframax fleet (including Aframax-size OBOs).

TEEKAY FLEET

As of December 31, 2001, the Teekay fleet (excluding vessels managed for third
parties) consisted of 96 vessels, including six time-chartered-in Aframax
tankers and eight newbuilding tankers on order.

 The following is a summary of the Teekay fleet as of this date:

                           FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS


This release contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) which reflect management's
current views with respect to certain future events and performance, including
statements regarding tanker charter rates, and the balance of supply and demand
in the crude tanker market. The following factors are among those that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements,
which involve risks and uncertainties, and that should be considered in
evaluating any such statement: changes in production of or demand for oil and
petroleum products, either generally or in particular regions; greater than
anticipated levels of tanker newbuilding orders or less than anticipated rates
of tanker scrapping; changes in trading patterns significantly impacting overall
tanker tonnage requirements; changes in applicable industry regulations; changes
in the typical seasonal variations in tanker charter rates.
