              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 2001



1.      Basis of Presentation/Organization

        Maritrans Inc. owns Maritrans Operating Partners L.P. ("the Operating
        Partnership"), Maritrans General Partner Inc., Maritrans Tankers Inc.,
        Maritrans Barge Co., Maritrans Holdings Inc. and other Maritrans
        entities (collectively, the "Company"). These subsidiaries, directly and
        indirectly, own and operate oil tankers, tugboats and oceangoing
        petroleum tank barges principally used in the transportation of oil and
        related products, along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.

        In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated
        financial statements of Maritrans Inc., which are unaudited (except for
        the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2000, which
        is derived from audited financial statements), include all adjustments
        (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly
        the financial statements of the consolidated entities.

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
        principles generally accepted in the United States requires management
        to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
        the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
        differ from those estimates.

        Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
        Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do
        not include all of the information and notes normally included with
        annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
        accepted accounting principles. These financial statements should be
        read in conjunction with the consolidated historical financial
        statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the
        period ended December 31, 2000.

3.      Income Taxes

        The Company's effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate
        due primarily to state income taxes and certain nondeductible items.

4.      Share Buyback Program

        On February 9, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized a share buyback
        program for the acquisition of up to one million shares of the Company's
        common stock. This amount represented approximately 8 percent of the
        12.1 million shares outstanding at the beginning of the program. In
        February 2000 and again in February 2001, the Board of Directors
        authorized the acquisition of an additional one million shares in the
        program. The total authorized shares under the program are three
        million. As of June 30, 2001, 2,258,700 shares have been repurchased
        under the plan and were financed from internally generated funds.

5.      Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
        of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
        Instruments and Hedging Activities ("Statement 133"). Statement 133
        establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
        instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
        contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives), and for hedging
        activities. The Company adopted Statement 133 on January 1, 2001, and
        the effect of adoption was not material to the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Information
---------------------------
Some of the statements in this Form 10-Q (this "10-Q") constitute
forward-looking statements under Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
including statements made with respect to present or anticipated utilization,
future revenues and customer relationships, capital expenditures, future
financings, and other statements regarding matters that are not historical
facts, and involve predictions. These statements involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of
activity, growth, performance, earnings per share or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, levels of activity, growth,
performance, earnings per share or achievements expressed in or implied by such
forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements included in this 10-Q relate to future events or
the Company's future financial performance. In some cases, the reader can
identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "believe,"
"future," "potential," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "through,"
"provide," "meet," "allow," "represent," "result," "seek," "increase," "work,"
"perform," "make," "continue," "will," "include," or the negative of such terms
or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements inherently involve
certain risks and uncertainties, although they are based on the Company's
current plans or assessments that are believed to be reasonable as of the date
of this 10-Q. Factors that may cause actual results, goals, targets or
objectives to differ materially from those contemplated, projected, forecast,
estimated, anticipated, planned or budgeted in such forward-looking statements
include, among others, the factors outlined in this 10-Q and general financial,
economic, environmental and regulatory conditions affecting the oil and marine
transportation industry in general. These factors may cause the Company's actual
results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. Given such
uncertainties, current or prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on any such forward-looking statements.

Although the Company believes that the expectations in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels
of activity, performance, growth, earnings per share or achievements. However,
neither the Company nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy
and completeness of such statements. The Company is under no duty to update any
of the forward-looking statements after the date of this 10-Q to conform such
statements to actual results.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I Item 1 of this Form
10-Q and the audited financial statements and notes thereto and Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the
year ended December 31, 2000 contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Results of Operations
---------------------
Three Month Comparison
----------------------
Revenues of $31.8 million in the second quarter of 2001 increased $3.7 million
or 13 percent compared to $28.1 million in the second quarter of 2000. Revenues
increased as a result of high utilization and market rates. Vessel utilization,
as measured by revenue days divided by calendar days available, increased from
81.5 percent in the second quarter of 2000 to 87.1 percent in the second quarter
of 2001. This increase was due primarily to the MARITRANS 244, which was working
during the second quarter of 2001 and was out of service in the second quarter
of 2000 for its double hull rebuild. The average daily rate was higher than in
the comparable period in 2000 as a result of higher market rates, which began
late in 2000 and continued through the second quarter of 2001. Barrels of cargo
transported increased from 47.5 million in the second quarter of 2000 to 48.9
million in the second quarter of 2001. Looking forward to the third quarter of
2001, the Company expects the market rates will be at a level consistent with
the same period in 2000. The OCEAN CITIES went out of service late in the second
quarter of 2001 for its double hull rebuild and is expected to return to service
late in the fourth quarter. The Company expects this out of service time to
decrease utilization and possibly cause a reduction of revenues for the
remainder of 2001.

Operating expenses decreased from $26.7 million in the second quarter of 2000 to
$26.5 million in the first quarter of 2001, a decrease of $0.2 million or 1
percent. Crew costs increased as a result of a higher volume of seminars and
training that took place in 2001 compared to 2000. Due to the increase in
utilization discussed in revenue above, port charges and fuel costs increased
compared to the same quarter of 2000. Fuel prices also increased 9% over the
comparable quarter in 2000. During the second quarter of 2001 but at different
non-overlapping times, two of the Company's tankers were under contracts that
pass through fuel and other voyage costs directly to the customer, offsetting
the above mentioned increases. The tankers were not under the same form of
contract in the comparable period of 2000. Overall maintenance expense decreased
as a result of the rebuilding of the single-hulled barges to double-hulled
barges, which allows certain procedures to be performed while the vessel is in
the shipyard for its double-hulling. In the second quarter of 2000, the Company
had incurred $0.2 million in relocation costs as a result of moving the
corporate headquarters from Philadelphia, PA to Tampa, FL.

Operating income increased as a result of the aforementioned changes in revenue
and expenses.

Other income in the second quarter of 2001 includes interest income of $0.6
million and a pre-tax gain of $0.2 million on the sale of a barge. Other income
in the second quarter of 2000 included interest income of $1.0 million offset by
a pre-tax loss of $0.7 million on the sale of Philadelphia real estate and
equipment. Interest income decreased as a result of lower interest rates and a
lower cash balance compared to the same period in 2000.

                                       10


Net income for the second quarter of 2001 increased compared to the second
quarter of 2000 due to the aforementioned changes in revenue and expenses.

Six Month Comparison
--------------------
Revenues of $63.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased
compared to $58.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of
$4.7 million or 8 percent. Vessel utilization, as measured by revenue days
divided by calendar days available, of 87.4 percent in the six months ended June
30, 2001 remained consistent with the comparable period of 2000 utilization of
86.4 percent. The average daily rate was higher than in the comparable period in
2000 as a result of higher market rates, which began late in 2000 and has
continued in the first half of 2001. Barrels of cargo transported decreased from
96.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000 to 95.1 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2001. Looking forward to the remainder of 2001, the
Company believes steady gasoline inventories and distillate demand will cause
market rates to be at a level consistent with the second half of 2000,
reflecting the continuing strong market. The OCEAN CITIES went out of service
late in the second quarter of 2001 for its double hull rebuild and is expected
to return to service late in the fourth quarter. The Company expects this out of
service time to decrease utilization and possibly cause a reduction of revenues
for the remainder of 2001.

Operating expenses decreased from $56.7 million in the six months ended June 30,
2000 to $53.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $3.5
million or 6 percent. Crew costs increased as a result of a higher volume of
seminars and training that took place in 2001 compared to 2000. During the first
half of 2001 but at different non-overlapping times, two of the Company's
tankers were under a contract that passes through fuel and other voyage costs
directly to the customer, resulting in a reduction of these expenses. The
tankers were not under the same form of contract in the comparable period of
2000. Offsetting this decrease was a 10% increase in fuel prices over the
comparable period in 2000. Overall maintenance expense decreased as a result of
the rebuilding of the single-hulled barges to double-hulled barges, which allows
certain procedures to be performed while the vessel is in the shipyard for its
double-hulling. In the first half of 2000, the Company had incurred $0.6 million
in relocation costs as a result of moving the corporate headquarters from
Philadelphia, PA to Tampa, FL.

Operating income increased as a result of the aforementioned changes in revenue
and expenses.

Other income in the six months ended June 30, 2001 includes interest income of
$1.6 million and a pre-tax gain of $0.2 million on the sale of a barge. Other
income in the six months ended June 30, 2000 included interest income of $2.0
million offset by a pre-tax loss of $0.7 million on the sale of Philadelphia
real estate and equipment.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2000 due to the aforementioned changes in revenue and
expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, funds provided by operating activities
were sufficient to meet debt service obligations and loan agreement
restrictions, to make capital acquisitions and improvements, to allow Maritrans
Inc. to pay a dividend of $0.10 per common share in the current quarter, to
prepay $6 million of long term debt and to make share repurchases. While
dividends have been made quarterly in each of the last three years, there can be
no assurance that the dividend will continue. The ratio of total debt to
capitalization is .41:1 at June 30, 2001.

Management believes that in 2001, funds provided by operating activities,
augmented by financing and investing transactions, will be sufficient to finance
operations, anticipated capital expenditures, lease payments and required debt
repayments.

On February 9, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized a share buyback program
for the acquisition of up to one million shares of the Company's common stock.
This amount represented approximately 8 percent of the 12.1 million shares
outstanding at that time. In February 2000 and again in February 2001, the Board
of Directors authorized the acquisition of an additional one million shares in
the program. The total authorized shares under the buyback program are three
million. As of June 30, 2001, 2,258,700 shares have been repurchased under the
plan and have been financed from internally generated funds. The Company intends
to hold the majority of the shares as treasury stock, although some shares will
be used for employee compensation plans and others may be used for acquisition
currency and/or other corporate purposes.

On August 17, 2000, the Company awarded a contract to rebuild a third large
single hull barge, the OCEAN CITIES, to a double hull configuration, which is
expected to have a total cost of approximately $15.5 million. As of June 30,
2001, $6.9 million has been paid to the shipyard contractor. The vessel entered
the shipyard in the second quarter of 2001 and is expected to return to service
late in the fourth quarter of 2001. The Company has and expects to continue the
financing of this project from internally generated funds.

Debt Obligations and Borrowing Facility
---------------------------------------
At June 30, 2001, the Company had $62.7 million in total outstanding debt,
secured by mortgages on most of the fixed assets of the Company. The current
portion of this debt at June 30, 2001 was $6.9 million.

The Company has a $33 million revolving credit facility with Mellon Bank, N.A.
that expires in October 2002. This facility is collateralized by mortgages on
the tankers. At June 30, 2001, $22 million was outstanding under this facility.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
------------------------------------------
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities ("Statement 133"). Statement 133 establishes accounting
and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives), and for hedging activities. The Company adopted Statement 133 on
January 1, 2001, and the effect of adoption was not material to the Company.

Part II:  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   Legal Proceedings
          -----------------

          In Maritrans Inc., et al v. United States, Maritrans sued the United
          States in 1996 alleging that the double hull requirement of the Oil
          Pollution Act of 1990 ("OPA") which requires retirement of Maritrans'
          fleet of single-hulled barges, is a "taking" under the fifth amendment
          to the U.S. Constitution. Maritrans is seeking a total of
          approximately $200 million in compensation for this taking. A trial
          was held in July 1997 on the preliminary issue of whether Maritrans
          had a cognizable property interest that could be subject to taking.
          The Court ruled in favor of Maritrans.

          In April 1999, the United States Court of Federal Claims ("the Court")
          ruled that the case was "ripe" only with respect to vessels that OPA
          had forced out of service, which would include vessels that Maritrans
          had sold, scrapped, or rebuilt. A trial was held in January 2001, with
          respect to eight of the Company's barges that are "ripe". Maritrans
          alleges that the value of these assets, for which compensation is
          currently due, is approximately $73 million. The trial concluded on
          February 13, 2001. A decision is expected from the Court by the end of
          2001. If Maritrans prevails, claims for other of the Company's barges
          will be the subject of future legal proceedings as the vessels are
          forced from service by OPA.
