               (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph

          (c)  in the event of a winding-up or dissolution of the Company,
               whether voluntary or involuntary or for the purpose of a
               reorganisation or otherwise or upon any distribution of capital,

                    thereof to any person other than another holder of Class B
                    Common Shares, automatically convert into one Class A Common
                    Share;

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

               (iii) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph
                    (d), no Class B Common Share may be converted (or will
                    convert under paragraph (d)(ii) above) if, as a result of
                    such conversion, (x) the Company would become a "controlled
                    foreign corporation" (as defined under Section 957 of the
                    Code) or (y) one or more 5% Shareholders would own, in the
                    aggregate, 50% or more of the value of the Class A Common
                    Shares;

          (e)  be subject to conversion of Class B Common Shares held, pursuant
               to Bye-law 4.4; and

          (f)  generally be entitled to enjoy all of the rights attaching to
               shares.

     4.4  If at any time the Board determines that it is necessary or advisable
          for any or all of the Class B Common Shares held by any Member to be
          converted into Class A Common Shares in order to avoid either (x) the
          Company becoming a "controlled foreign corporation" (as defined under
          Section 957 of the Code) or (y) one or more 5% Shareholders owning, in
          the aggregate, 50% or more of the value of the Class A Common Shares,
          the Board may by written notice given to such Member require the
          conversion of such number of Class B Common Shares held by such Member
          as shall be specified in the notice, and upon the notice being given
          each such Class B Common Share shall automatically convert into one
          Class A Common Share.

     4.5  Any conversion of Class A Common Shares or Class B Common Shares
          pursuant to this Bye-law 4 may be effected by way of variation of
          rights, share repurchase and issue, bonus issue, share consolidation,
          share subdivision and/or any other manner permitted by law.

     4.6  The Board is authorised to provide for the issuance of the Preference
          Shares in one or more series, and to establish from time to time the
          number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the
          designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such
          series and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof
          (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such matters and the issuance of
          such Preference Shares shall not be deemed to vary the rights attached
          to the Common Shares or, subject to the terms of any other series of
          Preference Shares, to vary the rights attached to any other series of
          Preference Shares). The authority of the Board with respect to each

               repurchaseable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such
               redemption or repurchase, including the manner of selecting

               rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of that
               series.

     4.7  Any Preference Shares of any series which have been redeemed (whether
          through the operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) or which, if
          convertible or exchangeable, have been converted into or exchanged for
          shares of any other class or classes shall have the status of
          authorised and unissued Preference Shares of the same series and may
          be reissued as a part of the series of which they were originally a
          part or may be reclassified and reissued as part of a new series of
          Preference Shares to be created by resolution or resolutions of the
          Board or as part of any other series of Preference Shares, all subject
          to the conditions and the restrictions on issuance set forth in the

          rights, securities having conversion or option rights, or obligations
          of the Company or transferee of the person or persons from exercising,
          converting, transferring or receiving the shares, option rights,
          securities having conversion or option rights, or obligations.

5.   CALLS ON SHARES

     5.1  The Board may make such calls as it thinks fit upon the Members in
          respect of any monies (whether in respect of nominal value or premium)
          unpaid on the shares allotted to or held by such Members (and not made
          payable at fixed times by the terms and conditions of issue) and, if a
          call is not paid on or before the day appointed for payment thereof,
          the Member may at the



TBS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED                                                 Page 9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          discretion of the Board be liable to pay the Company interest on the
          amount of such call at such rate as the Board may determine, from the
          date when such call was payable up to the actual date of payment. The
          Board may differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls
          to be paid and the times of payment of such calls.

     5.2  Any sum which by the terms of allotment of a share becomes payable
          upon issue or at any fixed date, whether on account of the nominal
          value of the share or by way of premium, shall for all the purposes of
          these Bye-laws be deemed to be a call duly made and payable, on the
          date on which, by the terms of issue, the same becomes payable, and in
          case of non-payment all the relevant provisions of these Bye-laws as
          to payment of interest, costs, charges and expenses, forfeiture or
          otherwise shall apply as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a
          call duly made and notified.

     5.3  The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to
          pay all calls in respect thereof.

     5.4  The Company may accept from any Member the whole or a part of the
          amount remaining unpaid on any shares held by him, although no part of
          that amount has been called up.

6.   PROHIBITION ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

     The Company shall not give, whether directly or indirectly, whether by
     means of loan, guarantee, provision of security or otherwise, any financial
     assistance for the purpose of the acquisition or proposed acquisition by
     any person of any shares in the Company, but nothing in this Bye-law shall
     prohibit transactions permitted under the Act.

7.   FORFEITURE OF SHARES

     7.1  If any Member fails to pay, on the day appointed for payment thereof,
          any call in respect of any share allotted to or held by such Member,
          the Board may, at any time thereafter during such time as the call
          remains unpaid, direct the Secretary to forward such Member a notice
          in writing in the form, or as near thereto as circumstances admit, of
          the following:

            Notice of Liability to Forfeiture for Non-Payment of Call
                    TBS International Limited (the "Company")



TBS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED                                                Page 10

          You have failed to pay the call of [amount of call] made on the [ ]
          day of [ ], 200[ ], in respect of the [number] share(s) [number in

          Company, on the [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ], the day appointed for payment
          of such call. You are hereby notified that unless you pay such call
          together with interest thereon at the rate of [ ] per annum computed
          from the said [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ] at the registered office of the
          Company the share(s) will be liable to be forfeited.

          Dated this [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ]




          ---------------------------------

          [Signature of Secretary] By Order of the Board

     7.2  If the requirements of such notice are not complied with, any such
          share may at any time thereafter before the payment of such call and
          the interest due in respect thereof be forfeited by a resolution of
          the Board to that effect, and such share shall thereupon become the
          property of the Company and may be disposed of as the Board shall
          determine.

     7.3  A Member whose share or shares have been forfeited as aforesaid shall,
          notwithstanding such forfeiture, be liable to pay to the Company all
          calls owing on such share or shares at the time of the forfeiture and
          all interest due thereon.

     7.4  The Board may accept the surrender of any shares that it is in a
          position to forfeit on such terms and conditions as may be agreed.
          Subject to those terms and conditions, a surrendered share shall be
          treated as if it had been forfeited.

8.   SHARE CERTIFICATES

     8.1  Every Member shall be entitled to a certificate under the seal of the
          Company (or a facsimile thereof) specifying the number and, where
          appropriate, the class of shares held by such Member and whether the
          same are fully paid up and, if not, specifying the amount paid on such
          shares. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
          Officer, and such other Directors and Officers as the Board shall
          determine, shall be authorized to sign any certificate. The Board may
          by resolution determine, either generally or in a particular case,
          that any or all signatures on share certificates may be printed
          thereon or affixed by mechanical means.



TBS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED                                                Page 11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     8.2  The Company shall be under no obligation to complete and deliver a
          share certificate unless specifically called upon to do so by the
          person to whom the shares have been allotted.

     8.3  If any share certificate shall be proved to the satisfaction of the
          Board to have been worn out, lost, mislaid, or destroyed the Board may
          cause a new certificate to be issued and request an indemnity for the
          lost certificate if it sees fit.

9.   FRACTIONAL SHARES

     The Company may issue its shares in fractional denominations and deal with
     such fractions to the same extent as its whole shares and shares in
     fractional denominations shall have in proportion to the respective
     fractions represented thereby all of the rights of whole shares including
     (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing) the right to vote,
     to receive dividends and distributions and to participate in a winding-up.


                             REGISTRATION OF SHARES

10.  REGISTER OF MEMBERS

     10.1 The Board shall cause to be kept in one or more books a Register of
          Members and shall enter therein the particulars required by the Act.

     10.2 The Register of Members shall be open to inspection at the registered
          office of the Company on every business day, subject to such
          reasonable restrictions as the Board may impose, so that not less than
          two hours in each business day be allowed for inspection. The Register
          of Members may, after notice has been given in accordance with the
          Act, be closed for any time or times not exceeding in the whole thirty
          days in each year.

11.  REGISTERED HOLDER ABSOLUTE OWNER

     The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any share
     as the absolute owner thereof and accordingly shall not be bound to
     recognise any equitable claim or other claim to, or interest in, such share
     on the part of any other person.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12.  TRANSFER OF REGISTERED SHARES

     12.1 An instrument of transfer shall be in writing in the form of the
          following, or as near thereto as circumstances admit, or in such other
          form as the Board may accept:

                          Transfer of a Share or Shares
                    TBS International Limited (the "Company")

          FOR VALUE RECEIVED....................[amount], I, [name of
          transferor] hereby sell, assign and transfer unto [transferee] of
          [address], [number] of shares of the Company.

          DATED this [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ]


          Signed by:                          In  the  presence of:


          ----------------------------------  ----------------------------------
          Transferor                          Witness


          ----------------------------------  ----------------------------------
          Transferee                          Witness

     12.2 Such instrument of transfer shall be signed by or on behalf of the
          transferor and transferee, provided that, in the case of a fully paid
          share, the Board may accept the instrument signed by or on behalf of
          the transferor alone. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the
          holder of such share until the same has been transferred to the
          transferee in the Register of Members.

     12.3 The Board may refuse to recognise any instrument of transfer unless it
          is accompanied by the certificate in respect of the shares to which it
          relates and by such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require
          to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer.

     12.4 The joint holders of any share may transfer such share to one or more
          of such joint holders, and the surviving holder or holders of any
          share previously held by them jointly with a deceased Member may
          transfer any such share to the executors or administrators of such
          deceased Member.

     12.5 The Board may in its absolute discretion and without assigning any
          reason therefor refuse to register the transfer of a share that is not
          fully paid. The Board shall refuse to register a transfer unless all
          applicable consents, authorisations and permissions of any
          governmental body or



TBS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED                                                Page 13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          agency in Bermuda have been obtained. If the Board refuses to register
          a transfer of any share the Secretary shall, within three months after
          the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to
          the transferor and transferee notice of the refusal.

     12.6 Shares may be transferred without a written instrument if transferred
          by an appointed agent or otherwise in accordance with the Act.

13.  TRANSMISSION OF REGISTERED SHARES

     13.1 In the case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where
          the deceased Member was a joint holder, and the legal personal
          representatives of the deceased Member where the deceased Member was a
          sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as
          having any title to the deceased Member's interest in the shares.
          Nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint
          holder from any liability in respect of any share that had been
          jointly held by such deceased Member with other persons. Subject to
          the provisions of the Act, for the purpose of this Bye-law, legal
          personal representative means the executor or administrator of a
          deceased Member or such other person as the Board may, in its absolute
          discretion, decide as being properly authorised to deal with the
          shares of a deceased Member.

     13.2 Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or
          bankruptcy of any Member may be registered as a Member upon such
          evidence as the Board may deem sufficient or may elect to nominate
          some person to be registered as a transferee of such share, and in
          such case the person becoming entitled shall execute in favour of such
          nominee an instrument of transfer in writing in the form, or as near
          thereto as circumstances admit, of the following:

     Transfer by a Person Becoming Entitled on Death/Bankruptcy of a Member

                    TBS International Limited (the "Company")

          I/We, having become entitled in consequence of the [death/bankruptcy]
          of [name and address of deceased Member] to [number] share(s) standing
          in the Register of Members of the Company in the name of the said
          [name of deceased/bankrupt Member] instead of being registered
          myself/ourselves, elect to have [name of transferee] (the
          "Transferee") registered as a transferee of such share(s) and I/we do
          hereby accordingly transfer the said share(s) to the Transferee to
          hold the same unto the Transferee, his or her executors,
          administrators and assigns, subject to the conditions on which the
          same were held at the time of the



TBS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED                                                Page 14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          execution hereof; and the Transferee does hereby agree to take the
          said share(s) subject to the same conditions.


          DATED this [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ]

          Signed by:                          In  the  presence of:


          ----------------------------------  ----------------------------------
          Transferor                          Witness


          ----------------------------------  ----------------------------------
          Transferee                          Witness

     13.3 On the presentation of the foregoing materials to the Board,
          accompanied by such evidence as the Board may require to prove the
          title of the transferor, the transferee shall be registered as a
          Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall, in any case,
          have the same right to decline or suspend registration as it would
          have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before
          such Member's death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.

     13.4 Where two or more persons are registered as joint holders of a share
          or shares, then in the event of the death of any joint holder or
          holders the remaining joint holder or holders shall be absolutely
          entitled to the said share or shares and the Company shall recognise
          no claim in respect of the estate of any joint holder except in the
          case of the last survivor of such joint holders.

                           ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

14.  POWER TO ALTER CAPITAL

     14.1 The Company may if authorised by resolution of the Members increase,
          divide, consolidate, subdivide, change the currency denomination of,
          diminish or otherwise alter or reduce its share capital in any manner
          permitted by the Act.

     14.2 Where, on any alteration or reduction of share capital, fractions of
          shares or some other difficulty would arise, the Board may deal with
          or resolve the same in such manner as it thinks fit.



TBS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED                                                Page 15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15.  VARIATION OF RIGHTS ATTACHING TO SHARES

     If, at any time, the share capital is divided into different classes of
     shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the
     terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company
     is being wound-up, be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of
     three-fourths of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a
     resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a separate general
     meeting of the holders of the shares of the class. The rights conferred
     upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other
     rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue
     of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or
     issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.


                          DIVIDENDS AND CAPITALISATION

16.  DIVIDENDS

     16.1 The Board may, subject to these Bye-laws and in accordance with the
          Act, declare a dividend to be paid to the Members, in proportion to
          the number of shares held by them, and such dividend may be paid in
          cash or wholly or partly in specie in which case the Board may fix the
          value for distribution in specie of any assets. No unpaid dividend
          shall bear interest as against the Company.

     16.2 The Board may fix any date as the record date for determining the
          Members entitled to receive any dividend.

     16.3 The Company may pay dividends in proportion to the amount paid up on
          each share where a larger amount is paid up on some shares than on
          others.

     16.4 The Board may declare and make such other distributions (in cash or in
          specie) to the Members as may be lawfully made out of the assets of
          the Company. No unpaid distribution shall bear interest as against the
          Company.



TBS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED                                                Page 16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17.  POWER TO SET ASIDE PROFITS

     The Board may, before declaring a dividend, set aside out of the surplus or
     profits of the Company, such sum as it thinks proper as a reserve to be
     used to meet contingencies or for equalising dividends or for any other
     purpose.

18.  METHOD OF PAYMENT

     18.1 Any dividend or other monies payable in respect of a share may be paid
          by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the address of
          the Member in the Register of Members (in the case of joint Members,
          the senior joint holder, seniority being determined by the order in
          which the names stand in the Register of Members), or by direct
          transfer to such bank account as such Member may direct. Every such
          cheque shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is
          sent or to such persons as the Member may direct, and payment of the
          cheque or warrant shall be a good discharge to the Company. Every such
          cheque or warrant shall be sent at the risk of the person entitled to
          the money represented thereby. If two or more persons are registered
          as joint holders of any shares any one can give an effectual receipt
          for any dividend paid in respect of such shares.

     18.2 The Board may deduct from the dividends or distributions payable to
          any Member all monies due from such Member to the Company on account
          of calls or otherwise.

     18.3 Any dividend and or other monies payable in respect of a share which
          has remained unclaimed for seven years from the date when it became
          due for payment shall, if the Board so resolves, be forfeited and
          cease to remain owing by the Company. The payment of any unclaimed
          dividend or other moneys payable in respect of a share may (but need
          not) be paid by the Company into an account separate from the
          Company's own account. Such payment shall not constitute the Company a
          trustee in respect thereof.

     18.4 The Company shall be entitled to cease sending dividend warrants and
          cheques by post or otherwise to a Member if those instruments have
          been returned undelivered to, or left uncashed by, that Member on at
          least two consecutive occasions, or, following one such occasion,
          reasonable enquiries have failed to establish the Member's new
          address. The entitlement

          conferred on the Company by this Bye-law 18.4 in respect of any Member
          shall cease if the Member claims a dividend or cashes a dividend
          warrant or cheque.


19.  CAPITALISATION

     19.1 The Board may resolve to capitalise any sum for the time being
          standing to the credit of any of the Company's share premium or other
          reserve accounts or to the credit of the profit and loss account or
          otherwise available for distribution by applying such sum in paying up
          unissued shares to be allotted as fully paid bonus shares pro-rata
          (except in connection with the conversion of shares of one class to
          shares of another class) to the Members.

     19.2 The Board may resolve to capitalise any sum for the time being
          standing to the credit of a reserve account or sums otherwise
          available for dividend or distribution by applying such amounts in
          paying up in full partly paid or nil paid shares of those Members who
          would have been entitled to such sums if they were distributed by way
          of dividend or distribution.

20.  ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGS

     deposit of the requisition not less than one-tenth of such of the paid-up
     share capital of the Company as at the date of the deposit carries the

     23.1 At least 10 days' notice of an annual general meeting shall be given
          to each Member entitled to attend and vote thereat, stating the date,
          place and time at which the meeting is to be held and that the
          election of Directors will take place thereat and, as far as
          practicable, the other business to be conducted at the meeting.

     23.2 At least 10 days' notice of a special general meeting shall be given

          the meeting.

     23.3 The Board may fix any date as the record date for determining the
          Members entitled to receive notice of and to vote at any general
          meeting of the Company.

     23.4 A general meeting of the Company shall, notwithstanding that it is
          called on shorter notice than that specified in these Bye-laws, be
          deemed to have been properly called if it is so agreed by (i) all the
          Members entitled to attend and vote thereat in the case of an annual
          general meeting; and (ii) by a majority in number of the Members
          having the right to attend and vote at the meeting, being a majority
          together holding not less than 95% in nominal value of the shares
          giving a right to attend and vote thereat in the case of a special
          general meeting.

     23.5 The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the
          non-receipt of a notice of a general meeting by, any person entitled
          to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings at that
          meeting.

24.  GIVING NOTICE

     24.1 A notice may be given by the Company to any Member either by
          delivering it to such Member in person or by sending it to such
          Member's address in the Register of Members or to such other address
          given for the purpose. For the purposes of this Bye-law, a notice may
          be sent by letter mail, courier service, cable, telex, telecopier,
          facsimile, electronic mail or other mode of representing words in a
          legible form.



TBS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED                                                Page 19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     24.2 Any notice required to be given to a Member shall, with respect to any
          shares held jointly by two or more persons, be given to whichever of
          such persons is named first in the Register of Members and notice so
          given shall be sufficient notice to all the holders of such shares.

     24.3 Save as provided by Bye-law 24.4, any notice shall be deemed to have
          been served at the time when the same would be delivered in the
          ordinary course of transmission and, in proving such service, it shall
          be sufficient to prove that the notice was properly addressed and
          prepaid, if posted, at the time when it was posted, delivered to the
          courier or to the cable company or transmitted by telex, facsimile,
          electronic mail, or such other method as the case may be.

     24.4 Mail notice shall be deemed to have been served five days after the
          date on which it is deposited, with postage prepaid, in the mail of
          any member state of the European Union, the United States, or Bermuda.

     24.5 The Company shall be under no obligation to send a notice or other
          document to the address shown for any particular Member in the
          Register of Members if the Board considers that the legal or practical
          problems under the laws of, or the requirements of any regulatory body
          or stock exchange in, the territory in which that address is situated
          are such that it is necessary or expedient not to send the notice or
          document concerned to such Member at such address and may require a
          Member with such an address to provide the Company with an alternative
          acceptable address for delivery of notices by the Company.

25.  POSTPONEMENT OF GENERAL MEETING

     The Chairman or the President may, and the Secretary on instruction from
     the Chairman or the President shall, postpone or cancel any general meeting
     called in accordance with the provisions of these Bye-laws (other than a
     meeting requisitioned under these Bye-laws) provided that notice of
     postponement or cancellation is given to each Member before the time for
     such meeting. Fresh notice of the date, time and place for the postponed
     meeting shall be given to the Members in accordance with the provisions of
     these Bye-laws.



TBS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED                                                Page 20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

26.  ATTENDANCE AND SECURITY AT GENERAL MEETINGS

     26.1 Members may participate in any general meeting by means of such
          telephone, electronic or other communication facilities as permit all
          persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other
          simultaneously and instantaneously, and participation in such a
          meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

     26.2 The Board may, and at any general meeting, the chairman of such
          meeting may make any arrangement and impose any requirement or
          restriction it or he considers appropriate to ensure the security of a
          general meeting including, without limitation, requirements for
          evidence of identity to be produced by those attending the meeting,
          the searching of their personal property and the restriction of items
          that may be taken into the meeting place. The Board and, at any
          general meeting, the chairman of such meeting are entitled to refuse
          entry to a person who refuses to comply with any such arrangements,
          requirements or restrictions.

27.  QUORUM AT GENERAL MEETINGS

     27.1 At any general meeting of the Company two or more persons present in
          person at the meeting and representing in person or by proxy in excess
          of 50% of the total issued voting shares in the Company at the start
          of the meeting shall form a quorum for the transaction of business.

     27.2 If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a
          quorum is not present, then, in the case of a meeting convened on a
          requisition, the meeting shall be deemed cancelled and, in any other
          case, the meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day one week
          later, at the same time and place or to such other day, time or place
          as the Secretary may determine. If the meeting shall be adjourned to
          the same day one week later or the Secretary shall determine that the
          meeting is adjourned to a specific date, time and place, it is not
          necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting other than by
          announcement at the meeting being adjourned. If the Secretary shall
          determine that the meeting be adjourned to an unspecified date, time
          or place, fresh notice of the resumption of the meeting shall be given
          to each Member entitled to attend and vote thereat in accordance with
          the provisions of these Bye-laws.

28.  CHAIRMAN TO PRESIDE

     Unless otherwise agreed by a majority of those attending and entitled to
     vote thereat, the Chairman, if there be one, and if not the President,
     shall act as chairman at all meetings of the Members at which such person
     is present. In their absence, the Deputy Chairman or Vice President, if
     present, shall act as chairman and in the absence of all of them a chairman
     shall be appointed or elected by those present at the meeting and entitled
     to vote.

29.  VOTING ON RESOLUTIONS

     29.1 Subject to the provisions of the Act and these Bye-laws, any question
          proposed for the consideration of the Members at any general meeting
          shall be decided by the affirmative votes of a majority of the votes
          cast in accordance with the provisions of these Bye-laws and in the
          case of an equality of votes the resolution shall fail.

     29.2 No Member shall be entitled to vote at a general meeting unless such
          Member has paid all the calls on all shares held by such Member.

     29.3 At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting
          shall, in the first instance, be voted upon by a show of hands and,
          subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being lawfully
          attached to any class of shares and subject to the provisions of these
          Bye-laws, every Member present in person and every person holding a
          valid proxy at such meeting shall be entitled to one vote and shall
          cast such vote by raising his or her hand.

     29.4 At any general meeting if an amendment shall be proposed to any
          resolution under consideration and the chairman of the meeting shall
          rule on whether the proposed amendment is out of order, the
          proceedings on the substantive resolution shall not be invalidated by
          any error in such ruling.

     29.5 At any general meeting a declaration by the chairman of the meeting
          that a question proposed for consideration has, on a show of hands,
          been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or
          lost, and an entry to that effect in a book containing the minutes of
          the proceedings of the Company shall, subject to the provisions of
          these Bye-laws, be conclusive evidence of that fact.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

30.  POWER TO DEMAND A VOTE ON A POLL

     30.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a poll may be demanded by any of the
          following persons:

          (a)  the chairman of such meeting; or

          (b)  at least three Members present in person or represented by proxy;
               or

          (c)  any Member or Members present in person or represented by proxy
               and holding between them not less than one-tenth of the total
               voting rights of all the Members having the right to vote at such
               meeting; or

          (d)  any Member or Members present in person or represented by proxy
               holding shares in the Company conferring the right to vote at
               such meeting, being shares on which an aggregate sum has been
               paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up
               on all such shares conferring such right.

     30.2 Where a poll is demanded, subject to any rights or restrictions for
          the time being lawfully attached to any class of shares (including,
          without limitation, the rights and restrictions referred to in Bye-law
          4), every person present at such meeting shall have one vote for each
          share of which such person is the holder or for which such person
          holds a proxy and such vote shall be counted by ballot as described
          herein, or in the case of a general meeting at which one or more
          Members are present by telephone, in such manner as the chairman of
          the meeting may direct and the result of such poll shall be deemed to
          be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded and
          shall replace any previous resolution upon the same matter which has
          been the subject of a show of hands. A person entitled to more than
          one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in
          the same way.

     30.3 A poll demanded for the purpose of electing a chairman of the meeting
          or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith and a poll
          demanded on any other question shall be taken in such manner and at
          such time and place at such meeting as the chairman (or acting
          chairman) of the meeting may direct and any business other than that
          upon which a poll has been demanded may be proceeded with pending the
          taking of the poll.



TBS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED                                                Page 23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     30.4 Where a vote is taken by poll, each person present and entitled to
          vote shall be furnished with a ballot paper on which such person shall
          record his vote in such manner as shall be determined at the meeting
          having regard to the nature of the question on which the vote is
          taken, and each ballot paper shall be signed or initialed or otherwise
          marked so as to identify the voter and the registered holder in the
          case of a proxy. At the conclusion of the poll, the ballot papers
          shall be examined and counted by a committee of not less than two
          Members or proxy holders appointed by the chairman for the purpose and
          the result of the poll shall be declared by the chairman.

31.  VOTING BY JOINT HOLDERS OF SHARES

     In the case of joint holders, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote
     (whether in person or by proxy) shall be accepted to the exclusion of the
     votes of the other joint holders, and for this purpose seniority shall be
     determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of
     Members.

32.  INSTRUMENT OF PROXY

     32.1 A Member may appoint a proxy by (a) an instrument appointing a proxy
          in writing in substantially the following form or such other form as
          the Board may determine from time to time:

                                      Proxy
                    TBS International Limited (the "Company")

          I/We, [insert names here], being a Member of the Company with [number]
          shares, HEREBY APPOINT [name] of [address] or failing him, [name] of
          [address] to be my/our proxy to vote for me/us at the meeting of the
          Members to be held on the [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ] and at any
          adjournment thereof. (Any restrictions on voting to be inserted here.)

          Signed this [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ]



          --------------------------------------------

          Member(s)

          or (b) such telephonic, electronic or other means as may be approved
          by the Board from time to time.

     32.2 The appointment of a proxy must be received by the Company at the
          registered office or at such other place or in such manner as is
          specified in the notice convening the meeting or in any



TBS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED                                                Page 24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          instrument of proxy sent out by the Company in relation to the meeting
          at which the person named in the appointment proposes to vote, and an
          appointment of proxy which is not received in the manner so permitted
          shall be invalid.

     32.3 A Member who is the holder of two or more shares may appoint more than
          one proxy to represent him and vote on his behalf.

     32.4 The decision of the chairman of any general meeting as to the validity
          of any appointment of a proxy shall be final.

33.  REPRESENTATION OF CORPORATE MEMBER

     33.1 A corporation which is a Member may, by written instrument, authorise
          such person or persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative
          at any meeting of the Members and any person so authorised shall be
          entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation
          which such person represents as that corporation could exercise if it
          were an individual Member, and that Member shall be deemed to be
          present in person at any such meeting attended by its authorised
          representative or representatives.

     33.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the chairman of the meeting may accept
          such assurances as he thinks fit as to the right of any person to
          attend and vote at general meetings on behalf of a corporation which
          is a Member.

34.  ADJOURNMENT OF GENERAL MEETING

     34.1 The chairman of any general meeting at which a quorum is present may
          with the consent of Members holding a majority of the voting rights of
          those Members present in person or by proxy, (and shall if so directed
          by Members holding a majority of the voting rights of those Members
          present in person or by proxy), adjourn the meeting.

     34.2 In addition, the chairman may adjourn the meeting to another time and
          place without such consent or direction if it appears to him that:

          (a)  it is likely to be impracticable to hold or continue that meeting
               because of the number of Members wishing to attend who are not
               present; or



TBS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED                                                Page 25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          (b)  the unruly conduct of persons attending the meeting prevents, or
               is likely to prevent, the orderly continuation of the business of
               the meeting; or

          (c)  an adjournment is otherwise necessary so that the business of the
               meeting may be properly conducted.

     34.3 Unless the meeting is adjourned to a specific date, place and time
          announced at the meeting being adjourned, fresh notice of the date,
          place and time for the resumption of the adjourned meeting shall be
          given to each Member entitled to attend and vote thereat in accordance
          with the provisions of these Bye-laws.

35.  WRITTEN RESOLUTIONS

     35.1 Subject to the following, anything which may be done by resolution of
          the Company in general meeting or by resolution of a meeting of any
          class of the Members may, without a meeting and without any previous
          notice being required, be done by resolution in writing signed by, or
          in the case of a Member that is a corporation whether or not a company
          within the meaning of the Act, on behalf of, all the Members who at
          the date of the resolution would be entitled to attend the meeting and
          vote on the resolution.

     35.2 A resolution in writing may be signed by, or in the case of a Member
          that is a corporation whether or not a company within the meaning of
          the Act, on behalf of, all the Members, or all the Members of the
          relevant class thereof, in as many counterparts as may be necessary.

     35.3 A resolution in writing made in accordance with this Bye-law is as
          valid as if it had been passed by the Company in general meeting or by
          a meeting of the relevant class of Members, as the case may be, and
          any reference in any Bye-law to a meeting at which a resolution is
          passed or to Members voting in favour of a resolution shall be
          construed accordingly.

     35.4 A resolution in writing made in accordance with this Bye-law shall
          constitute minutes for the purposes of the Act.

     35.5 This Bye-law shall not apply to:



TBS INTERNATIONAL LIMITED                                                Page 26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          (a)  a resolution passed to remove an auditor from office before the
               expiration of his term of office; or

          (b)  a resolution passed for the purpose of removing a Director before
               the expiration of his term of office.

     35.6 For the purposes of this Bye-law, the date of the resolution is the
          date when the resolution is signed by, or in the case of a Member that
