Review Report of Independent Accountants

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF CALIFORNIA PETROLEUM TRANSPORT
CORPORATION

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of California
Petroleum Transport Corporation as of June 30, 2002 and the related condensed
statements of income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002
and 2001 and the condensed statement of cash flows for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with United States generally accepted auditing
standards, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of
expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with United States generally
accepted auditing standards, the balance sheet of California Petroleum
Transport Corporation as at December 31, 2001, and the related statements of
income and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein, and in
our report dated March 27, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to balance sheet from which it
has been derived.

California Petroleum Transport Corporation
Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. GENERAL

Organization and history

California Petroleum Transport Corporation was incorporated under the
laws of the state of Delaware on May 18, 1994. The company is a special
purpose corporation that has been organized solely for the purpose of
issuing as agent Serial Mortgage Notes and Term Mortgage Notes as full
recourse obligations of the company and loaning the proceeds of the sale
of the Notes to four vessel-owning companies. The Serial Mortgage Notes
and the Term Mortgage Notes were issued on April 5, 1995.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. The principal accounting policies used in the
preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accountancy
principles for complete financial statements.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following are the
significant accounting policies adopted by the Company:

Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, all demand
and time deposits and highly liquid, low risk investments with original
maturities of three months or less are considered equivalent to cash.

Revenue and expense recognition
Interest receivable on the Serial Loans and on the Term Loans is accrued
on a daily basis. Interest payable on the Serial Mortgage Notes and on
the Term Mortgage Notes is accrued on a daily basis. General and
administrative expenses incurred by the company are reimbursed by the
vessel-owning companies.

Deferred charges
Deferred charges represent the capitalisation of debt issue costs. These
costs are amortised over the term of the Notes to which they relate.



3. SERIAL LOANS

The principal balances of the Serial Loans earn interest at rates ranging
from 7.55% to 7.62% and mature over a four-year period beginning April 1,
2003. The loans are reported net of the related discounts, which are
amortised over the term of the loans.

4. TERM LOANS
The principal balances of the Term Loans earn interest at a rate of 8.52%
per annum and are to be repaid over a twelve-year period beginning April
1, 2004. The loans are reported net of the related discounts, which are
amortised over the term of the loans.

5. SERIAL MORTGAGE NOTES

The Serial Mortgage Notes bear interest at rates ranging from 7.55% to
7.62% through maturity. The Notes mature over a four-year period
beginning April 1, 2003. Interest is payable semi-annually.

6. TERM MORTGAGE NOTES

The Term Mortgages Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.52% per annum.
Principal is repayable on the Term Mortgage Notes in accordance with a
twelve-year sinking fund schedule commencing April 1, 2004. Interest is
