Financial Overview

Henry Flinter
Chief Financial Officer

Financial Highlights    Income Statement

Increase in time charter revenues primarily reflect
additional revenue days and higher rates for Jones Act
Product carriers delivered after 3Q08

TCE revenues were adversely impacted by a reduction
in international product spot rates and by the lay up of
vessels

1See Appendix for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.   

Lower equity income considers 2 fewer vessels under
management compared with 2008

Higher vessel expenses are due to an increase in
operating days resulting from 4 new product carriers and
the switch of the OSG 400 to bareboat charter from time
charter, somewhat offset by lower expenses for vessels
in lay up

Higher charter hire expense reflects delivery of 3 new
product carriers on bareboat from AMSC

Impairment in 2009 for 2 vessels

Financial Highlights   Balance Sheet

Safely within debt covenants

Total debt levels have
declined by $17.2 million
over the first nine months of
2009

$170 million available under
revolver

Distributable Cash Flow1

Distribution coverage was 74%
for the third quarter and 110% for
the first nine months  of 2009

1See Appendix for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.   

2009 Forecast

Fiscal 2009 coverage distribution is expected to be 103%

Full year coverage improved slightly from August due to the grain voyage
performed by the Galena Bay which was not anticipated in the prior guidance  

2009 coverage guidance has declined from 117% (March) to 103%
(November)

*Reflects add back of loss on sale or impairment of vessel

Newbuild Fleet & Option Vessels

Notes:

Newbuild vessels were contributed by OSG to OSG America at the time of its initial public offering; option vessels are
those that the Partnership has the right to acquire from OSG at to-be-negotiated purchase prices prior to the first
anniversary of the delivery of each vessel to OSG.  

On October 14, 2008, American Shipping Company ("AMSC") notified OSG that AMSC was reversing the building
sequence of these two vessels.  OSG disputes AMSC's ability to make this change without OSG’s consent, and OSG
has objected and requested that this dispute be arbitrated expeditiously to avoid or reduce any harm to OSG or its
ultimate customers.

Reconciliation Tables

EBITDA

EBITDA represents operating earnings, which is before interest expense, plus other income and depreciation and amortization expense.
EBITDA is presented to provide investors with meaningful additional information that management uses to monitor ongoing operating
results and evaluate trends over comparative periods.  EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income or cash flow from
operating activities prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of
profitability or liquidity.  While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating results and performance, it is not necessarily
comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

TCE Revenue

Consistent with general practice in the shipping industry, the Partnership uses time charter equivalent revenues, which represents shipping
revenues less voyage expenses, as a measure to compare revenue generated from a voyage charter to revenue generated from a time charter.  
Time charter equivalent revenues, a non-GAAP measure, provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with shipping revenues, the
most directly comparable GAAP measure, because it assists the Partnership’s management in making decisions regarding the deployment and
use of its vessels and in evaluating their financial performance.
