CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Matters discussed in this report may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.

California Petroleum Transport Corporation, or the Company, desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. This report and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. When used in this report, the words "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "may," "should," "expect" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this report are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

In addition to these important factors and matters discussed elsewhere herein and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charterhire rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the tanker market, including changes in demand resulting from changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels and world wide oil consumption and storage, changes in the Company's operating expenses, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, and other important factors described from time to time in the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission.

We caution readers of this report not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. These forward looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance, and actual results and future developments may vary materially from those projected in the forward looking statements. Please see our Risk Factors in Item 3 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

California Petroleum Transport Corporation (the "Company"), which is incorporated in Delaware, is a special purpose corporation that was organized solely for the purpose of issuing, as agent on behalf of CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas I) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas II) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited and CalPetro Tankers (IOM) Limited (each an "Owner" and, together the "Owners"), $167,500,000 Serial First Preferred Mortgage Notes, or the Serial Notes, and $117,900,000 8.52% First Preferred Mortgage Notes due in 2015, which we refer to as the Term Notes and together with the Serial Notes as the Notes. The Serial Notes were fully repaid April 1, 2006. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes were applied by way of long-term loans, being Serial Loans in respect of the Serial First Preferred Mortgage Notes and Term Loans in respect of the First Preferred Mortgage Notes due in 2015, to the Owners to fund the acquisition of four vessels (the "Vessels") from Chevron Transport Corporation ("Chevron").
 
 
Currently, the Owners charter three of the Vessels to Chevron under bareboat charters that are expected to provide sufficient payments to cover the Owners' obligations to the Company. CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas I) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas II) Limited and CalPetro Tankers (IOM) Limited received no notice from Chevron to terminate their bareboat charters by the required dates. Consequently, the charters will continue until April 1, 2015.

The fourth Vessel (the "Front Voyager") was chartered under a bareboat charter to Front Voyager Inc. (the "Charterer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Frontline Ltd. (the "Front Voyager Charter"). Pursuant to the Front Voyager Charter, the Charterer agreed to charter the Front Voyager as of April 1, 2006 for an initial two-year period (the "Initial Period") with a further seven annual optional periods. The charterhire payable for the Initial Period was $5.05 million. This was prepaid in full on March 31, 2006. On March 25, 2009, the Charterer exercised its option to extend the charter for the second one-year optional period beginning April 1, 2009 at a cost of $1.8 million. On January 5, 2010, the Charterer gave notice that it would terminate the charter and paid a termination fee of $4.9 million on April 1, 2010 in accordance with the bareboat charter. A Memorandum of Agreement, dated March 15, 2010, was signed regarding the sale of the Front Voyager for $8.3 million and delivery to the buyer occurred on April 8, 2010. After the sale of Front Voyager, the Owner, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited, will continue in existence but will not actively engage in any business other than in connection with ongoing corporate affairs.

The Company's only source of funds with respect to the Term Notes is the payment of the principal and interest on the Term Loans by the Owners. The Company does not have any other source of capital for payment of the Term Notes. The Owners' only sources of funds with respect to their obligations to the Company are the payments by Chevron. The Owners do not have any other source of capital for payment of the Term Loans.

The interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of a full year's results.

2.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)           Revenue and expense recognition

Interest receivable on the Term Loans is accrued on a daily basis.  Interest payable on the Term Notes is accrued on a daily basis. The Owners reimburse the Company for general and administrative expenses incurred on their behalf.

(b)           Deferred charges
 
Deferred charges represent the capitalization of debt issue costs. These costs are amortized over the term of the Term Notes to which they relate on a straight line basis, which is not materially different to the effective interest rate method.

(c)           Reporting and functional currency

 The reporting and functional currency is the United States dollar.

(d)           Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities on the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
(e)           Other Comprehensive Income
 
The Company does not have any Other Comprehensive Income.
 
(f)           Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There were no new accounting standards implemented in the first quarter of 2012 that had an impact on our results or new accounting standards to be implemented in the future that we expect to have an impact on our results when adopted.
 
3.
TERM LOANS

The principal balances of the Term Loans earn interest at a rate of 8.52% per annum and are to be repaid in full over four years.

4.
TERM LOANS COLLATERAL

The Term Loans are collateralized by first preferred mortgages on the Vessels to the Company. The earnings and insurance relating to the Vessels subject to the charters with Chevron have been collaterally assigned pursuant to an assignment of earnings and insurance to the Company, which in turn has assigned such assignment of earnings and insurance to The Bank of New York Mellon as the collateral trustee (the "Trustee"). The charters with Chevron and the Chevron Guarantees (where the obligations of Chevron are guaranteed by Chevron Corporation) relating to the Vessels have been collaterally assigned pursuant to the assignment of initial charter and assignment of initial charter guarantee to the Company, which in turn has assigned such assignments to the collateral trustee.  The capital stock of each of the Owners has been pledged to the Company pursuant to stock pledge agreements which have also been collaterally assigned to the Trustee.

On October 3, 2011, pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement, excess funds held by the Trustee in the amount of $6.7 million allocable to CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited became available for release from the relevant trust account as a result of sufficient funds remaining on deposit at the Trustee for the payment in full of principal and interest on the Term Notes as they become due and were released to CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited on the same date. CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited paid a dividend of $6.7 million on December 15, 2011.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Fair values
 
The carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument;

Cash and cash equivalents - the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Term Loans – the estimated fair value of the Term Loans is based on the quoted market prices of the Term Notes.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the estimated fair values of the 8.52% Term Notes are based on the market price achieved in the last significant trading of the notes.

Concentrations of risk

The Company's only source of funds for the repayment of the principal and interest on the Term Notes are the repayments from the Owners. The Owners only source of funds for the repayment of the principal and interest on the Term Loans due to the Company is the charterhire payments from Chevron as well as investment income and the proceeds, if any, from the sale of any of the Vessels. Accordingly, the Company's ability to service its obligations on the Term Notes is wholly dependent upon the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows from the Owners.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2012 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2011
