   EARNINGS RELEASE


   TEEKAY SHIPPING CORPORATION
REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS


3rd Quarter Highlights

Nassau, The Bahamas, October 22, 2003 — Teekay Shipping Corporation today reported net income of $20.3 million, or $0.50 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, compared to net income of $643,000, or $0.02 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. The results for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 include $5.8 million, or $0.14 per share, in non-cash charges relating to five vessels sold during the third quarter and $4.0 million, or $0.10 per share, in deferred income tax expense relating to unrealized foreign exchange gains. Excluding these non-cash charges, the Company would have reported net income of $30.2 million, or $0.74 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Net voyage revenues for the quarter were $274.9 million, compared to $122.8 million recorded for the same period in 2002, while income from vessel operations increased to $49.6 million from $15.3 million. The results for the current quarter reflect primarily the increase in spot tanker charter rates which averaged $18,318 per day in the third quarter of 2003, compared to $13,833 per day in the same period last year for Teekay’s Aframax spot fleet, as well as the inclusion of the results of the Company’s acquisition of Navion AS in April 2003, which added a further 49 vessels to the spot and fixed-rate segments.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $170.8 million, or $4.21 per share, compared to $20.3 million, or $0.50 per share, for the same period last year. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 included $36.3 million, or $0.90 per share, in non-cash charges relating to the sale of 12 vessels, $3.0 million, or $0.07 per share, in deferred income tax expense relating to unrealized foreign exchange gains, and a $4.9 million, or $0.12 per share, write-down in the carrying value of certain marketable securities. Excluding these non-cash charges, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 would have been $215.0 million, or $5.30 per share. Net voyage revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 were $840.8 million, compared to $388.7 million for the same period last year, while income from vessel operations increased to $285.5 million from $70.7 million. The results for the first nine months of 2003 compared to the same period last year mainly reflects the inclusion of two quarters of Navion’s results and an increase in Teekay’s average Aframax spot rates from $15,959 per day in the first nine months of 2002 to $24,743 per day in the first nine months of 2003.

During the past quarter, Teekay concluded several strategic transactions which demonstrate the strength of the Company’s integrated franchise in the shuttle tanker, floating storage and conventional tanker businesses:

During the past 12 months, the Company has extensively renewed its fleet by acquiring and/or taking delivery of 21 new double hull tankers and selling 16 older non-double hull tankers. The average age of Teekay’s owned and in-chartered fleet has declined from approximately 10 years at the beginning of 2003, to the current age of approximately 7 years and over 75% of Teekay’s fleet consists of double hull vessels.

In July 2003, the Company purchased a 16 percent stake in A/S Dampskibsselskabet TORM, a leading operator of product tankers, for $37.3 million. The market value of this investment as at September 30, 2003 was $60.2 million.

Operating Results

Fixed-Rate Segment

During the past few years, the Company’s fixed-rate segment has grown significantly, particularly with the recent acquisition of Navion AS in April 2003.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, EBITDA from the Company’s fixed-rate segment increased to $45.8 million from $21.9 million in the third quarter of 2002, primarily due to the inclusion of the results of Navion’s shuttle tanker operations. However, EBITDA from the fixed-rate segment in the third quarter was lower compared with EBITDA of $56.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, primarily as a result of lower shuttle tanker utilization caused by scheduled seasonal maintenance of oil production facilities in the North Sea.

During the third quarter of 2003, the Company took further steps to grow its fixed-rate segment, which it expects will provide approximately $25 million in additional annualized operating cash flow:

In September 2003, the Company took delivery of the first two of five newbuilding tankers on 12-year fixed-rate charter contracts to ConocoPhillips, with the remaining three vessels scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2003 and early 2004.

Upon the commencement of the contracts mentioned above, the Company expects the fixed-rate segment to generate annualized operating cash flow of approximately $285 million by the fourth quarter of 2004.

Tanker Market Overview

Average tanker charter rates declined in the third quarter of 2003 from the very high levels in the previous quarter, mainly as a result of seasonal factors normally experienced in the summer months, and an increase in oil supplies from short-haul sources. However, charter rates increased in the first three weeks of October 2003, averaging over $27,000 per day for Aframaxes, as reported by Clarkson.

During the third quarter, global oil supply increased by 1.5 million barrels per day (mb/d) from the previous quarter to 79.5 mb/d as non-OPEC producers increased their oil production by 1.2 mb/d. Iraqi oil production rebounded during the third quarter to an average of 1.1 mb/d compared to 0.3 mb/d in the previous quarter, with most of the exports routed out of the Middle East. The increase in Iraqi oil production was partially offset as other Middle East OPEC oil producers reduced their production to make room for the resumption of Iraqi exports. In September 2003, OPEC members (excluding Iraq) voted to cut oil production by 0.9 mb/d effective November 1, 2003 in anticipation of further increases in Iraqi oil production.

Global oil demand, an underlying driver of tanker demand, was estimated by the International Energy Agency (IEA) to be 77.6 mb/d during the third quarter of 2003, a 1.2 mb/d increase from the preceding quarter and 0.7 mb/d higher than in the third quarter of 2002. As of October 10, 2003, the IEA was projecting global oil demand of 80.2 mb/d for the fourth quarter of 2003, a 3.4% increase over the third quarter. The IEA projection for global oil demand in 2004 is 79.4 mb/d, a 1.3% increase over the forecast for 2003.

The size of the world tanker fleet increased to 314.0 million deadweight tonnes (mdwt) as of September 30, 2003, up 0.3% from the end of the previous quarter and up 2.1% compared to the end of 2002. Deliveries of tanker newbuildings during the third quarter totaled 8.0 mdwt, compared to 7.6 mdwt in the previous quarter, while a total of 7.0 mdwt was sold for demolition or otherwise removed from the world tanker fleet during the third quarter, compared to 8.3 mdwt in the previous quarter.

As of September 30, 2003 the world tanker orderbook stood at 71.4 mdwt, representing 22.7% of the total world fleet, up from 70.3 mdwt, or 22.5%, of the total world fleet as of June 30, 2003. The pace of ordering slowed in the third quarter with 9.2 mdwt in new contracts recorded compared to 12.4 mdwt in the previous quarter.

The new European Union regulations pertaining to the accelerated phase-out of single hull tankers became effective on October 21, 2003, and immediately banned approximately 11 percent of the existing world tanker fleet from trading in European waters. In July 2003, the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the global maritime regulatory body, agreed to an early phase-out schedule for Category 1 tankers, which mandates what is expected to be the removal of approximately 12 percent of the existing world tanker fleet by the end of 2005. The IMO is set to meet in December 2003 to finalize the phase-out dates for Categories 2 and 3 tankers on a worldwide basis.

Teekay Fleet

As of September 30, 2003, the Teekay fleet (excluding vessels managed for third parties) consisted of 149 vessels, including 46 time-chartered-in vessels and 13 newbuilding tankers on order. During the quarter, the Company sold three Panamax OBO vessels as well as the SUDONG SPIRIT (1987-built Aframax tanker), and the SINGAPORE SPIRIT (1987-built Aframax tanker). The Company took delivery of four newbuildings during the quarter, the following three of which delivered onto long-term contracts: the AMERICAS SPIRIT (Aframax tanker) and the EUROPEAN SPIRIT (Suezmax tanker) delivered on charter to ConocoPhillips and the NORDIC STAVANGER (Suezmax shuttle tanker) was added to Navion’s shuttle tanker fleet. In the spot tanker segment, an Aframax tanker, the FUJI SPIRIT, was delivered under a capital lease.

The following is a summary of the Teekay fleet as of September 30, 2003:

  Total  90   46   13   149  

(1) Includes one Aframax to be converted to an FSO commencing on long-term contract during the second quarter of 2004.
(2) Includes one 67%-owned OBO carrier.
(3) Includes four shuttle tankers of which the Company’s ownership interest ranges from 50% to 89%.


Subsequent to September 30, 2003, the Company sold five additional vessels from its spot tanker fleet: its remaining four Panamax OBO vessels, and the COOK SPIRIT (1987-built Aframax tanker), for total gross proceeds of approximately $28.6 million. There will be a nominal gain recorded in the fourth quarter resulting from the sale of these vessels.

Liquidity and Capital Expenditures

As of September 30, 2003, the Company had total liquidity of $697.2 million, comprising $335.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $361.3 million in undrawn medium-term revolving credit facilities.

At the end of the third quarter, the Company had approximately $460 million in remaining capital commitments relating to its 13 newbuildings on order. Of this, $37 million is due in the fourth quarter of 2003, $305 million in 2004, and $118 million in 2005. Long-term financing arrangements totaling $342 million exist for 11 of the 13 newbuildings scheduled for delivery.

Dividend Increase

On October 7, 2003, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had voted to increase its quarterly dividend by 16 percent to $0.25 per share. The dividend increase was primarily due to the Company’s continued growth in its long-term fixed-rate business, which provides both a large stable base of cash flow and an increase in earnings power throughout the shipping cycle. The Company intends to evaluate potential future dividend increases based on cash generation, earnings growth and other factors.

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 anticipated EBITDA for the Company’s fixed-rate segment in 2004; anticipated increased operating cash flow for the fixed-rate segment as a result of transactions entered into during the third quarter of 2003; tanker charter rates; newbuilding delivery dates; applicable industry regulations and their effect on the size of the world tanker fleet; potential expansion of SPT’s business into geographic regions beyond the Gulf of Mexico; potential increases in future dividends paid by the Company; 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 or less than anticipated levels of tanker newbuilding orders or greater or less than anticipated rates of tanker scrapping; changes in trading patterns significantly impacting overall tanker tonnage requirements; changes in applicable industry laws and regulations and the timing of implementation of new laws and regulations; changes in the typical seasonal variations in tanker charter rates; changes in the offshore production of oil; the potential for early termination of long-term contracts; shipyard production delays; the Company’s future capital expenditure requirements; the Company’s inability to renew or replace long-term contracts; and other factors discussed in Teekay’s Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, 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 forward-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.
