BUSINESS. Unless otherwise noted, references to "the Company", "we", "our" or "us" means Crowley Maritime Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries. Our principal executive offices are located at 155 Grand Avenue, Oakland, California 94612, and our telephone number is (510) 251-7500. The Company's web site is http://www.crowley.com. Information contained on the Company's web site is not a part of this Form 10-K. COMPANY OVERVIEW We provide diversified transportation services in domestic and international markets. We also provide fuel transportation and distribution services domestically. Our primary operations are located in the continental United States, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean Islands, Russia, and other international markets. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company implemented a corporate reorganization. As a result of this reorganization, the Company reevaluated its operating segments and reporting segments and retroactively changed them to be aligned with the Company's new structure. The Company now has four reporting segments: Liner Services; Logistics Services; Marine Services; and Petroleum Services. - Liner Services provides ocean transportation services between designated ports, as well as a broad range of cargo transportation services including the carriage of containers, trailers, vehicles and oversized cargo. - Logistics Services provides freight forwarding, ocean transportation services, airfreight services, warehousing and distribution services, customs clearance, trucking and other logistics optimization activities intended to create efficiencies in the carriage of goods for third parties. - Marine Services provides ship assist and escort services (including ship assist, tanker escort, docking and related services, fire fighting, emergency towing and oil spill response) and specialized services on a worldwide basis to companies engaged in the exploration, production and distribution of oil and gas. In addition, Marine Services also provides worldwide marine salvage and marine wreck removal services as well as vessel management services to third parties. - Petroleum Services transports crude oil, petroleum products and chemicals among ports on the east and west coasts of the United States, Alaska, and the Gulf of Mexico. Petroleum Services also operates a refined petroleum products distribution business in Alaska which utilizes, among other things, owned or leased tank farms, fuel distribution centers, gas stations and retail delivery. Petroleum Services also provides vessel management services to third parties. The Company supports all four of its segments by providing corporate services, supervising construction of new vessels and owning vessels which are chartered for use in our Liner Services, Marine Services and Petroleum Services segments. The Company arranges most of the insurance required for its operations through its captive insurance company. The Company employs approximately 4,300 people and provides its services using a fleet of more than 280 vessels, consisting of RO/RO (roll on roll off) vessels, LO/LO (lift on lift off) vessels, tankers, tugs and barges. Our land-based facilities and equipment include terminals and container yards, warehouses, tank farms, office buildings, gas stations, trucks, trailers, containers, chassis and other specialized vehicles. The grandfather of our current President, Mr. Thomas B. Crowley, Jr., began our business in the San Francisco Bay in 1892. The business was incorporated in the State of Delaware as "Crowley Maritime Corporation" on December 1, 1972. The present structure, in which the Company is a holding company for our lines of businesses, was put in place in 1992. The Company is predominantly owned by certain members of the Crowley family and Company employees and its shares do not trade on any national securities exchange or in any established trading market. 2 See "Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities" and "Item 1A. Risk Factors." The following table lists the Company's owned, chartered and managed vessels as of December 31, 2005:

From time to time, the Company may transfer vessels between the Company's segments to meet changing business needs. Specifically, the Marine Services and Petroleum Services use tugs and barges for their operations which, depending upon market conditions, may be shifted and redeployed by the Company among different geographical locations. It is the Company's practice to regularly monitor the demands for the services of each of these segments and to transfer tugs and barges among them based upon prevailing market conditions. For additional information about the Company's segments, see "Item 1. Business -- Liner Services", "Item 1. Business -- Logistics Services", "Item 1. Business -- Marine Services", and "Item 1. Business -- Petroleum Services" below. For segment financial information concerning our revenues, operating income and long-lived assets, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note 23 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data". LINER SERVICES Liner Services provides scheduled marine transportation services between designated ports for the carriage of cargo, including containers, trailers, vehicles and oversized cargo. At December 31, 2005, Liner Services provided service to the territory of Puerto Rico and approximately 19 countries in the Caribbean and Central America with 37 ocean going ships, tugs and barges capable of carrying approximately 12,800 twenty foot equivalent units ("TEUs"). Liner Services owns or leases approximately 45,000 pieces of intermodal equipment which includes containers, trailers and chassis. 3 THE PUERTO RICO AND CARIBBEAN ISLANDS SERVICE Our Puerto Rico and Caribbean Islands service provides scheduled liner services between: - ports in the United States North Atlantic and ports in Puerto Rico; and - ports in the United States South Atlantic and ports in Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, certain Caribbean Islands and the Bahamas. The Puerto Rico service uses 9 triple-deck RO/RO barges. 5 of these barges are 730 feet in length, with an average capacity of 924 TEUs. The remaining 4 barges are 580 feet in length with an average capacity of 617 TEUs. The 9 barges are towed by a fleet of 10 offshore tugs owned by us. This service also uses 2 barges which serve as additional dock space. Departures are normally scheduled three or four times a week from Jacksonville, Florida and once a week from Pennsauken, New Jersey. The Caribbean Islands service calls on two ports in the Virgin Islands and three other ports in the Caribbean with 2 time chartered LO/LO vessels. The average capacity of these vessels is 530 TEUs. Departures are scheduled from Jacksonville and Port Everglades, Florida once a week. This service also provides service to various other ports through connecting carriers. The Bahamas service uses 1 time chartered LO/LO vessel offering a capacity of approximately 408 TEUs each week. This service has two scheduled departures a week from Jacksonville and Port Everglades, Florida to Nassau, Bahamas. While the time charters for the vessels used in the services described above expire in 2006, vessels of this type chartered by the Company have been readily available and we do not believe that it will be difficult to charter new vessels or renew the existing charters. THE LATIN AMERICA SERVICE Our Latin America Service provides scheduled liner services between: - ports in the United States South Atlantic and ports in the Northern Zone of Central America, the Southern Zone of Central America, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Cuba; and - ports in the Gulf of Mexico and ports in the Northern Zone of Central America. The United States South Atlantic to the Northern Zone of Central America service deploys 4 time chartered RO/RO vessels with an average capacity of 308 TEUs. This service has four weekly sailings between Port Everglades, Florida and ports in Guatemala and Honduras with overland services to Nicaragua and El Salvador. The United States South Atlantic to the Southern Zone of Central America service deploys 3 time chartered RO/RO vessels with an average capacity of 360 TEUs that provides weekly service between Port Everglades, Florida and Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala. The United States South Atlantic to the Dominican Republic and Haiti service deploys 2 time chartered LO/LO vessels with an average capacity of 307 TEUs. This service has one sailing a week between Port Everglades, Florida and ports in the Dominican Republic and Haiti and one sailing a week between Port Everglades, Florida and the Dominican Republic. The United States South Atlantic to Cuba service deploys 1 time chartered LO/LO vessel with a capacity of 70 TEUs. The service has one sailing a week from Jacksonville, Florida to Havana, Cuba. The Gulf of Mexico to the Northern Zone of Central America service deploys 3 time chartered RO/RO vessels, with an average capacity of 325 TEUs. This service has three weekly sailings from Gulfport, Mississippi to Honduras and Guatemala with overland services to Nicaragua and El Salvador. 4 While the time charters for the vessels used in the services described above expire between 2006 and 2008, vessels of this type chartered by the Company have been readily available and we do not believe that it will be difficult to charter new vessels or renew the existing charters. At December 31, 2005, Liner Services owned or leased, on a long-term basis, marine terminals and container yards in the locations listed in the table below. In those ports where the Company does not own or lease terminals or container yards it utilizes common use terminals. MARINE TERMINALS AND CONTAINER YARDS

5 MARINE SERVICES Marine Services provides a wide array of services on a worldwide basis. Marine Services maintains a fleet of 163 vessels over a large geographic area in order to respond quickly to a variety of situations. Included in its fleet are: (a) 55 tugs ranging in length from 85 feet to 150 feet with between 470 and 10,192 brake horsepower; (b) 88 barges varying in size, capacity and capability, including flat deck barges designed for the carriage of heavy loads; and (c) 3 crewboats. The flat deck barges are unmanned and require the use of our tugs to be moved between job locations. Marine Services occupies approximately 15 acres of shore side terminals located in Seattle, Washington. It also provides vessel management services for 17 vessels belonging to third parties, including 5 container vessels owned by commercial companies and 12 vessels owned by the United States government. Marine Services provides specialized services to companies engaged, on a worldwide basis, in the exploration, production and distribution of oil and gas. Areas of operation extend from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Pedernales, Venezuela and west to the Russian Far East. These services are provided through specialized marine transportation projects utilizing assets either owned or chartered by the Company. In addition, Marine Services offers turnkey project management for major infrastructure projects and logistics and inventory control services for the oil and gas industry. Past projects range from the delivery of oversized modules for oil and gas exploration and production in Africa, Asia and the Americas in 2005 to sea lifting supplies to Alaska for the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline in 2004. On October 1, 2005, the Company acquired Titan Maritime LLC and certain assets of Titan Maritime Industries Inc., Karlissa Associates and Marine Equipment Corp. (collectively "Titan"), a worldwide marine salvage and marine wreck removal business for a purchase price of $17.7 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition of Titan expands the Company's marine salvage and marine wreck removal business domestically and into international markets. For further information, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." A portion of Titan's marine salvage and wreck removal business is conducted under a Lloyd's Standard Form of Salvage Agreement ("LOF") on a no cure, no pay basis. The time period to settle these contracts, once the salvage or wreck has been cured, can take between six months and two years. For additional information see the Salvage Revenue Recognition critical accounting policy in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Marine Services also provides ship assist, tanker escort, docking and related services in Oakland, San Diego, Los Angeles and Long Beach, California, Puget Sound, Washington and Valdez, Alaska. In addition to providing ship assist and escort services, the tugs and barges based in Valdez, Alaska are also capable of providing fire fighting and oil spill response services and are predominantly used for these services. The tugs operating in Oakland, San Diego, Los Angeles and Long Beach, California and Puget Sound, Washington primarily provide assistance to large tankers and container vessels as they enter and depart from west coast harbors. The tugs used for ship assist and escort services generally employ three to six crew members and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to respond to calls for their services. We currently provide various marine services to the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company ("Alyeska") pursuant to a long-term Master Time Charter as Amended and Restated on January 1, 1999 (the "Master Time Charter") and other related agreements. Alyeska is agent for the owners of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. Our relationship with Alyeska began in the early 1970s during construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and we have had formal agreements with Alyeska since approximately 1991. Under the Master Time Charter, Alyeska may, pursuant to individual charter orders which set forth the specific terms and conditions of each time charter, time charter from us vessels either owned by us or chartered from third parties, as required to provide tanker escort and docking services, emergency response in the event of an actual or potential pollution incident, firefighting and other related services needed by those oil companies which transport crude oil by tanker from Alaska to the continental United States. We operate each of the vessels chartered to Alyeska. Under our agreements with Alyeska, we also provide certain oil companies with various shore-side services. As of December 31, 2005, 17 vessels owned by us, consisting of 10 tugs, 2 line boats and 5 barges, are under time charter to Alyeska. The tugs currently chartered to Alyeska are also capable of providing fire fighting and oil spill response services. 6 We currently bareboat charter from Prince William Sound Corporation 8 vessels and 48 mini-barges, which are time chartered by us to Alyeska for oil spill, oil recovery and emergency response services. A number of these vessels are on standby throughout Prince William Sound solely for emergency response to oil spills. Unlike the vessels that we own, the vessels owned by Prince William Sound Corporation may only be used by Alyeska, unless authorized by Alyeska for third-party use. Our tugs, line boats and barges chartered to Alyeska are capable of performing similar services for other companies in other locations and, in the event that Alyeska decided that it did not require some or all of these vessels for its operations in Alaska, the Company believes that it could redeploy the vessels not required by Alyeska to other locations. Marine Services also provides vessel management services to third parties with vessels that operate throughout the world. PETROLEUM SERVICES The oil, chemical and petrochemical industries based in the United States require various forms of transportation to supply them with the raw materials required for their plants and to distribute their finished products. While companies engaged in these industries deploy numerous forms of transportation, including trucks, railroads and pipelines, certain distribution patterns and requirements make the use of ocean going vessels the most efficient means of transportation. The ocean going vessels used by Petroleum Services consist of tugs, barges (including articulated and integrated tug/barges) and tankers. In each case, the vessels are made of steel and contain a series of tanks, valves, pumps, generators and other equipment required for the carriage of liquid cargoes. All of our barges (including articulated and integrated tug/barges) and tankers are equipped with pumps which are capable of discharging the cargoes which have been loaded by shore based facilities. While our towed barges contain the power generation systems necessary to operate both the pumps required to discharge cargo and other equipment, they have no means of self propulsion and depend upon our tugs to be moved between ports. Although there are no accommodation spaces on our barges and they are not manned while being towed between ports, our ocean going tugs used to tow these barges are equipped with living quarters and typically employ a crew of seven. As a general rule, and depending upon the horsepower of the tug which is being used for the tow, our barges typically maintain sea speeds of between 7 and 12 knots. Petroleum Services operates numerous vessels used for the carriage of crude oil, petroleum products and chemicals including: (a) 4 articulated tug/barge units with capacities of up to approximately 19,650 long tons; (b) 2 integrated tug/barge units with capacities of up to approximately 46,000 long tons; (c) 2 tankers; and (d) 43 petroleum barges with capacities of up to 16,550 long tons which are primarily towed by 29 tugs owned by us. The tankers, barges and other specially designed vessels carry crude oil, petroleum products and chemicals: (a) among refineries and storage terminals on the East Coast and West Coast of the United States, the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska; and (b) among ports in Puerto Rico and the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, Petroleum Services provides vessel management services for 6 ready-reserve vessels owned by the United States government. Petroleum Services uses 4 articulated tug/barge units. Unlike our oil barges which are towed by steel cables connected to tugs, our articulated tug/barge units are powered by specially designed tug boats which, through mechanical connections utilize two large cylindrical pins to connect to special fittings located in notches at the rear of their respective barges. Although the connection between these specially designed tugs and barges is not permanent and the tugs may operate independently of their barges, once the connection has been made, the tug and barge operate as a single unified vessel. Our articulated tug/barge units employ a crew of eight and are capable of operating at speeds of up to 12 knots and carrying 155,000 barrels of refined products. We are currently constructing 6 new articulated tug/barge units which will be capable of carrying 185,000 barrels of refined product. These new units will utilize a design similar to the design used for the 4 units discussed above. Our 2 integrated tug/barge units are powered by diesel engines and are capable of propelling themselves at speeds of up to 14 knots. Our 2 tankers are powered by steam turbine propulsion systems and are capable of propelling themselves at speeds of up to approximately 15 knots. Our tankers and integrated tug/barge units 7 are equipped with living quarters for their crew members. Our tankers typically employ a crew of approximately 28. Our integrated tug/barge units typically employ a crew of approximately 18. Our tankers and integrated tug/barge units used for the carriage of petroleum products are capable of carrying up to eleven types of cargo simultaneously. Petroleum Services also owns and/or operates tank farms in Alaska. A number of our oil barges are used to carry petroleum products purchased for our account to and among various Alaskan ports. Many of these barges also carry, together with the product owned by us, product owned by third parties. The fuel which is purchased by us and carried aboard our barges is sold directly from our vessels and tank farms to customers in Alaska who are the ultimate consumers. On September 6, 2005, the Company acquired all of the stock of Service Oil and Gas, Inc. and certain assets and liabilities of Yukon Fuel Company, Northland Vessel Leasing Company LLC, and Yutana Barge Lines (collectively "Northland Fuel") for a purchase price of $91.6 million, net of cash acquired. Northland Fuel operates a refined products distribution business in Alaska. The acquisition of Northland Fuel complements the Company's existing business engaged in the transportation, distribution and sale of fuel in Alaska. For further information, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." At December 31, 2005, Petroleum Services owned or operated tank farms in the locations listed in the table below. ALASKA TANK FARMS

In addition, Petroleum Services operates retail gas stations in Alaska with a combined capacity of approximately 2,600 barrels of fuel. In November 2005, Petroleum Services sold a vessel that represented a component of the Company, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Accordingly, the results of operations of this vessel have been classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements. For further information, see Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." 8 On January 1, 2006, the Company acquired all of the stock of Columbus Distributing, Inc. and EV-JO, Inc. (collectively "CDI"), a fuel distribution business in Alaska, for $5.1 million cash. The acquisition of CDI further expands the Company's Alaskan fuel distribution business. The operation of CDI will be included in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations, within the Petroleum Services segment, commencing January 1, 2006. CORPORATE SERVICES Corporate services include supervising the construction of new vessels, providing engineering services internally, owning vessels which are chartered by our operating lines of business and providing insurance coverage. The Company's risk management and insurance program is structured to allow it to self-insure a variety of predictable claims based on historical loss/claim experience and to insure more significant claims through Beacon Insurance Company Ltd., which is a wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary. Beacon Insurance Company Ltd. retains a layer of risk/losses and purchases reinsurance in the international insurance markets to cover catastrophic casualties and a multiple of major claims. In addition, the program is structured to ensure compliance with federal, state and local insurance regulations. Corporate services also provides accounting, legal, human resources, information technology and purchasing support. SEASONALITY Revenues generated by our Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Islands Liner Services and Logistics Services have historically increased during the latter part of the third quarter and the early part of the fourth quarter of each year in anticipation of increased holiday sales by our customers, and have declined during the first quarter of each year. Revenues generated by our Latin America Liner Services are generally not affected by seasonal factors. The carriage of chemicals and petroleum products by the vessels used by Petroleum Services usually experiences a slight downturn during the summer months because of customer inventory adjustments and refinery shutdowns. The revenues of the transportation and distribution activities of Petroleum Services historically increase during the second and third quarters of each year and decline during the first and fourth quarters. It is our practice to redeploy those barges which cannot be used in Alaska during the first and fourth quarters of each year to other areas in which operations are not restricted by weather conditions. While the activities and related revenues of Marine Services conducted in Alaska and Russia tend to increase during the second and third quarters of each year and decline during the first and fourth quarters, most of the other services provided by Marine Services are generally not affected by seasonal factors. For quarterly financial information concerning our revenues, operating income, net income and earnings per share, see Note 24 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." CUSTOMERS Many of our services are provided in response to discrete customer requests for short-term services. For this reason, customers that account for a significant portion of revenues in one fiscal year may represent an immaterial portion of revenues in subsequent years. In general, the Company does not depend upon a single customer or a small group of customers, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. While Marine Services derives a material amount of its revenues from a group of contracts with Alyeska, these revenues are not a material source of revenue for the Company. In the event that Alyeska decided not to renew a substantial number of these contracts and the Company was not able to successfully redeploy the vessels used for these contracts to other locations, the decision by Alyeska could have a material adverse effect on the operating results of Marine Services. No material portion of the Company's business is subject to renegotiation of profits by the United States government or termination of contracts or subcontracts at the election of the United States government. 9 COMPETITION The competition faced by our segments is intense. The principal methods of competition in the Company's business are service, price, experience, reputation and quality of equipment. The Company believes that its pricing is competitive and that the quality of its services, experience and equipment is among the highest in the industry. A number of our competitors have financial resources and operating staffs substantially larger than those of the Company and, from time to time, may use those resources either to lower rates or acquire equipment which, in either case, may provide a competitive advantage over the Company. See "Item 1A. Risk Factors." Each of our segments participates from time to time in markets in which there are more vessels than the market can support at a profitable level. While we try to shift our tugs, barges, tankers and other vessels away from markets in which there is a surplus of capacity to markets in which the supply of and demand for vessels is more balanced, our competitors tend to engage in similar practices. Over time, these practices by our competitors may undermine the effectiveness of our efforts to deploy our vessels to more balanced markets. LINER SERVICES The services offered by Liner Services between the United States and Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Islands currently compete with three principal carriers: Horizon Lines, Trailer Bridge and Sea Star Line, LLC. The services offered by Liner Services between the United States and Latin America currently compete with three principal carriers: Maersk/Sealand, Seaboard and American President Line. We believe our share of these markets in 2005 was substantial. LOGISTICS SERVICES The U.S. logistics market is a highly competitive market with many public and privately held companies competing with us domestically and internationally. Major competitors for providing transportation management and special cargo handling services include: Maersk Logistics, APL Logistics, Econocaribe, Seaboard Solutions and Tropical Shipping. MARINE SERVICES Our principal competitor for providing ship assist, tanker escort, docking and related services on the West Coast of the United States is Foss Maritime. Numerous other public or privately held companies are also a source of competition, including Starlight Marine Services and Millennium Towing Company. We believe that our share in markets on the West Coast of the United States in 2005 was substantial. Our principal United States based competitors for providing tug and barge towing and project services: (a) in the Gulf of Mexico are Tidewater, Edison Chouest, Delta Towing, Dolphin Towing, Harvey Gulf Marine, McDonough Marine Service, Otto Candies Marine Transportation and Towing and Smith Maritime; and (b) on the West Coast are Foss, Seacoast, Sause Brothers, Brusco and Dunlap Towing. West Coast transportation companies such as Lynden and Northland Services compete with us for general cargo moves and, to a lesser extent, for general towing and emergency services. Among our principal foreign competitors are Seacor Smit, Seaspan and Seaspan Cyprus, Ltd., Anchor Marine Transport of Great Britain, ITC Towing of the Netherlands and Fairplay Towing. Competitors also include segments of the heavy lift shipping industry such as Dockwise and Blue Marlin. Further competition, primarily for government contracts, comes from qualified small businesses. In the salvage/emergency services business, our principal competitors on a global basis include Smit and Wijsmuller. PETROLEUM SERVICES We are a major carrier of petroleum products in the U.S. Jones Act trades and utilize tank vessels, tankers, towed barges, integrated tug-barge units and articulated tug-barge units for this purpose. Major 10 competitors include Seabulk International, Sause Brothers, Moran Towing Corp., Bouchard Transportation Co., Penn Maritime Inc., Hornbeck Offshore Services, Allied Towing Corp., American Heavylift Shipping Co., United States Shipping Partners L.P., Maritrans Inc., Keystone Shipping Co. and K-Sea Transportation Partners L.P. The major competitors in the Alaska petroleum transportation and distribution market are Delta Western, Sirius Marine, Northern Transport and some foreign tankers delivering products to the Aleutian terminals in Alaska. Oil companies and independent owners that operate vessels and other modes of petroleum transportation, including pipelines, also compete with our vessels for cargoes. GOVERNMENT REGULATION The operation of our vessels is subject to regulation under various federal laws and international conventions, as interpreted and implemented by the United States Coast Guard, as well as certain state and local laws. Our vessels are required to meet construction and repair standards established by the American Bureau of Shipping, a private organization, and/or the United States Coast Guard, and to meet operational, security and safety standards presently established by the United States Coast Guard. The United States Coast Guard licenses our seagoing supervisory personnel and certifies our seamen and tankermen. Our United States marine operations are also subject to regulation by various United States federal agencies or the successors of those agencies, including the Surface Transportation Board (the successor federal agency to the Interstate Commerce Commission), the Maritime Administration, the Customs Service, the Federal Maritime Commission and the Coast Guard. These regulatory authorities have broad powers over operational safety, tariff filings of freight rates, service contracts, certain mergers, contraband, environmental contamination, financial reporting and homeland, port and vessel security. Our common and contract motor carrier operations are regulated by the United States Surface Transportation Board and various state agencies. The Company's drivers, including owner-operators, also must comply with the safety and fitness regulations promulgated by the United States Department of Transportation, including certain regulations for drug and alcohol testing and hours of service. The officers and unlicensed crew members employed aboard the Company's vessels must also comply with numerous safety and fitness regulations promulgated by the United States Coast Guard, including certain regulations for drug testing and hours of service. JONES ACT Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, commonly called the Jones Act, is a federal law that restricts maritime transportation between United States ports to vessels built and documented in the United States and owned and operated by United States citizens. Because we carry cargo between United States ports, we are subject to the provisions of this law. Other cabotage laws require all United States vessels to be manned by United States citizens. The United States Coast Guard and American Bureau of Shipping maintain the most stringent process of vessel inspection in the world, which tends to result in higher regulatory compliance costs for United States flag operators than for owners of vessels registered under foreign flags. Our Liner Services, Marine Services and Petroleum Services operations, which are conducted between United States ports including Puerto Rico, are protected from foreign competition by the Jones Act. While there have been unsuccessful attempts in the past to broaden access to the Jones Act trade and to modify, limit or abolish the Jones Act, we believe it is unlikely that the Jones Act will be rescinded or materially modified in the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that the Jones Act will not be modified or rescinded. 11 ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION All of the Company's operations are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations implemented principally by the Environmental Protection Agency, the United States Department of Transportation, the United States Coast Guard and state environmental regulatory agencies. These regulations govern the management of hazardous wastes, discharge of pollutants into the air, surface and underground waters, including rivers, harbors and the 200-mile exclusive economic zone of the United States, and the disposal of certain substances. We are currently involved in the remediation of twelve properties and have estimated that approximately $3.9 million will be spent over the next ten years on these projects. For further information on environmental liabilities, see the critical accounting policies in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Notes 1 and 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." The contamination at these properties is the result of historic operations. We believe that our operations are in material compliance with current environmental laws and regulations. We are currently working with different state and federal agencies through agreed upon orders, decrees or voluntary actions on the remediation of the impacted properties mentioned above. We are not subject to, or aware of, any material pending any threatened litigation or other judicial, administrative or arbitration proceedings against us occasioned by any alleged non-compliance with such laws or regulations. The risks of substantial costs, liabilities and penalties for federal, state or local environmental non-compliance or alleged non-compliance are, however, inherent in marine operations, and there can be no assurance that significant costs, liabilities or penalties will not be incurred by or imposed on us in the future. OIL POLLUTION ACT OF 1990 The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 ("OPA 90") established an extensive regulatory and liability regime intended to protect the environment from oil spills. OPA 90 applies to owners and operators of facilities operating near navigable waters and owners, operators and bareboat charterers of vessels operating in United States waters, which include the navigable waters of the United States and the 200-mile exclusive economic zone of the United States. Although it applies in general to all vessels, for purposes of establishing liability limits, financial responsibility and response planning requirements, OPA 90 distinguishes tank vessels (which include our petroleum product tankers, integrated tug/barge units, articulated tug/barge units and our oil barges) from "other vessels" (which include our tugs and the RO/RO and LO/LO vessels used by Liner Services). As a result of certain oil spills by other shipping companies which received international publicity, our single hulled tankers and barges are subject to heightened scrutiny by our customers and various regulatory bodies. Under OPA 90, owners and operators of facilities and owners, operators and bareboat charterers of vessels are "responsible parties" and are jointly, severally and strictly liable for removal costs and damages arising from oil spills relating to their facilities and vessels, unless the spill results solely from the act or omission of a third party, an act of God or an act of war. Damages are defined broadly to include: - natural resources damages and the costs of assessment thereof; - damages for injury to, or economic losses resulting from the destruction of, real and personal property; - the net loss of taxes, royalties, rents, fees and profits by the United States government, and any state or political subdivision thereof; - lost profits or impairment of earning capacity due to property or natural resources damage; - the net costs of providing increased or additional public services necessitated by a spill response, such as protection from fire, safety or other hazards; and - the loss of subsistence use of natural resources. 12 For facilities, the statutory liability of responsible parties is limited to $350 million. For tank vessels, the statutory liability of responsible parties is limited to the greater of $1,200 per gross ton or $10 million ($2 million for a vessel of 3,000 gross tons or less) per vessel. For any "other vessel" statutory liability is limited to the greater of $600 per gross ton or $500,000 per vessel. However, such liability limits do not apply to an incident proximately caused by violation of federal safety, construction or operating regulations or by the responsible party's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or if the responsible party fails to report the incident or provide reasonable cooperation and assistance as required by a responsible official in connection with oil removal activities. Although we currently maintain the maximum available pollution liability insurance coverage that is available through the International Group of P&I Clubs, a catastrophic spill could result in liability in excess of available insurance coverage, as well as a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Under OPA 90, with certain limited exceptions, all newly built or converted oil tankers operating in United States waters must be built with double hulls, and existing single hull double-side or double-bottom vessels must be phased out over time, unless retrofitted with double hulls. As a result of this phase-out requirement, as interpreted by the United States Coast Guard, the Company has 1 vessel in 2006 and 2 vessels in 2010 that must stop carrying petroleum and petroleum products if they are not retrofitted with double hulls. The impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows would not be materially adversely impacted if these vessels are not replaced when the phase-out occurs. In addition, we own 34 other vessels which will need to be retrofitted with double hulls by 2015 in order to continue to carry petroleum or petroleum products in United States waters. While the Company has not completed its study of what it would cost to make such vessels comply with OPA 90 or to replace non-complying vessels with new or used complying vessels, we believe that the cost of compliance or replacement would represent a material capital expenditure. Included in the vessels discussed above are 27 barges that are not subject to the double hull requirement of OPA 90 because they carry refined petroleum products in or adjacent to waters of the Bering Sea, Chukcki Sea and the Arctic Ocean and water tributaries thereto and the waters of the Aleutian Islands and the Alaskan Peninsula west of 155 degrees west longitude. OPA 90 expanded pre-existing financial responsibility requirements and requires vessel owners, operators and bareboat charterers to establish and maintain with the United States Coast Guard evidence of insurance or qualification as a self-insurer or other evidence of financial responsibility sufficient to meet their potential liabilities under OPA 90. Coast Guard regulations also implement the financial responsibility requirements of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, which imposes liability for discharges of hazardous substances such as chemicals, in an amount equal to $300 per gross ton, thus increasing the overall amount of financial responsibility from $1,200 to $1,500 per gross ton. We have obtained "Certificates of Financial Responsibility" pursuant to the Coast Guard Regulations for our petroleum product and chemical carriers through self-insurance and commercial insurance. OPA 90 also amended the federal Water Pollution Control Act to require the owner or operator of certain facilities and tank vessels to prepare facility or vessel response plans and to contract with oil spill removal organizations to remove to the maximum extent practicable a worst-case discharge. We have complied with these requirements. OPA 90 does not prevent individual states from imposing their own liability regimes with respect to oil pollution incidents occurring within their boundaries, and many states have enacted legislation providing for unlimited liability for oil spills. Some states have issued regulations addressing oil spill liability, financial responsibility, and vessel and facility response planning requirements. We do not anticipate that such legislation or regulations will have any material impact on our operations. TITLE XI Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936 permits the Secretary of Transportation, acting through the Maritime Administration, to provide a United States government guarantee of the repayment of certain loans 13 arranged for the construction, reconstruction or reconditioning of vessels constructed, reconstructed or reconditioned in the United States. Debt guaranteed pursuant to Title XI can have a term of up to twenty-five years and interest rates are generally more favorable than rates available from commercial lenders. At December 31, 2005, the Company has $184.7 million of debt guaranteed pursuant to Title XI collateralized by 23 vessels with a net book value of $207.8 million. CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION FUND Pursuant to Section 607 of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, we have entered into a Capital Construction Fund Agreement with the Maritime Administration acting for the United States of America. The Capital Construction Fund program allows United States citizens who are owners and operators of United States flag vessels to accumulate the capital necessary to modernize and expand their fleets by deferring federal income taxes on vessel earnings deposited into the fund. Moneys deposited by us into our Capital Construction Fund must be used to acquire, construct or reconstruct United States flag vessels built in United States shipyards. Any vessel which we may acquire, construct or reconstruct using Capital Construction Fund funds may only be used in the United States foreign, non-contiguous domestic or Great Lakes trade. The Company has $.8 million in its Capital Construction Fund at December 31, 2005. Deposits to the Capital Construction Fund are considered tax deductions in the year designated; however, they are taxable, with interest payable from the year of deposit, if withdrawn for general corporate purposes or other non-qualified purposes, or upon termination of the Capital Construction Fund. Qualified withdrawals for investments in vessels and certain related equipment do not give rise to a current tax liability, but reduce the depreciable bases of the vessels or other assets for income tax purposes. At December 31, 2005, the Company has designated $41.0 million of qualified earnings as "accrued deposits" to its Capital Construction Fund. Such accrued deposits are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a reduction of current assets. Furthermore, the Company has reduced its current tax liability and increased its deferred tax liability at December 31, 2005 for the effects of this accrued deposit. INTERNATIONAL Our vessels that operate internationally are subject to various international conventions, including certain safety, environmental and construction standards. Among the more significant conventions are: (i) the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships 1973, 1978 Protocol, (ii) the International Convention on the Safety of Life at Sea, 1978 Protocol, including the International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention, which went into effect for tank vessels on July 1, 1998, and (iii) the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended in 1995. These conventions govern oil spills and other matters related to environmental protection, worker health and safety, and the manning, construction and operation of vessels. As a general matter, surveys and inspections are performed by internationally recognized classification societies. Although we believe we are in substantial compliance with all applicable foreign law, regulation and other legal requirements, the risks of incurring substantial compliance costs and liabilities and penalties for non-compliance are inherent in some of our offshore operations and there can be no assurance that such costs, liabilities and penalties will not be incurred by or imposed on us in the future. EMPLOYEES As of December 31, 2005, we had 4,257 employees, including 1,656 employed on vessels and 2,601 employed at our domestic and foreign offices and other land-based facilities. The Company has 2,555 employees under the terms of 35 separate collective bargaining agreements with twelve different unions which, among other things, set forth the wages and benefits of these employees. These agreements have expiration dates ranging from 2006 to 2015. The Company's operations have not been affected significantly by work stoppages and, in the opinion of management, relations with employees are good. 14 EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT The executive officers of the Company are as follows:

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS Set forth below are factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ from past results or those we currently anticipate. It is not a complete list of all potential risks or uncertainties. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES IS DEPENDENT ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS BEYOND OUR CONTROL, WHICH CAN NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR OPERATING RESULTS Sales of our services are tied to a number of factors beyond our control, including: - worldwide demand for chemicals and petroleum products and other cargo shipped by our customers; - local and international political and economic conditions and policies; and - weather conditions. 15 We have high fixed costs, and downtime or low productivity due to reduced demand or other causes can have a significant negative effect on our operating results. LINER SERVICES IS SUBJECT TO ECONOMIC FACTORS AND THE CYCLICAL NATURE OF ITS BUSINESS CAN CAUSE FLUCTUATIONS IN EARNINGS Economic factors affecting the geographic regions in which Liner Services are provided and cyclical business patterns experienced by this part of the maritime shipping industry have caused the earnings of Liner Services to vary in the past and are likely to cause similar variations in the future. There is no assurance that Liner Services will be able to redeploy its vessels from less profitable markets into other markets or uses. FLUCTUATION OF FUEL PRICES MAY INFLUENCE OUR RESULTS Economic and political factors can affect fuel prices. The Company's operations may be positively or adversely impacted by our ability to pass increases in fuel prices to our customers. The extent of such impact also is affected by the amount of time that may elapse between when we pay for higher fuel prices and when our customers pay for the increased cost of the fuel purchased by them. The cost of fuel represents a significant cost to the Company's operations. Fuel expense, excluding the cost of fuel sold to customers, represented approximately 11.8%, 8.5% and 8.2% of consolidated operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In certain cases the Company's operating segments are able to pass these increased fuel costs to its customers in the form of: (1) bunker surcharges as agreed to in customer contracts or in published tariffs; (2) a direct pass through as defined in the time charter agreements for certain vessels; and (3) adjustments to contracts as negotiated with customers. In other cases, the increased cost is borne by the Company. Fuel purchased by our Petroleum Services segment for resale is purchased at market prices and resold at market prices plus a fixed margin. THE NATURE OF MARINE SERVICES CONTRACTS MAY ADD VOLATILITY TO OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Marine Services frequently provides many of its services in response to discrete customer projects or in response to emergency conditions and its contracts are generally short-term, usually terminating within one year. Accordingly, customers who account for a significant portion of revenues and operating income in one fiscal year may represent an immaterial portion of revenues in subsequent fiscal years. In addition, certain Marine Services contracts contain clauses that do not entitle us to payment of compensation unless certain results are achieved. As a result, it is possible that the cost of performing those contracts could lead to losses. THE COMPANY FACES INTENSE COMPETITION THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT ITS ABILITY TO INCREASE MARKET SHARE AND COULD REDUCE ITS PROFITABILITY Our businesses operate in highly competitive industries. These intense levels of competition could reduce our revenues and/or increase our expenses either of which would reduce our profitability. In addition to price, service, experience, reputation and quality of equipment, important competitive factors include safety record, ability to meet the customer's schedule, the customer's national flag preference, operating conditions, capability and intended use, complexity of logistical support needs and presence of equipment in the appropriate geographical locations. Many of our major competitors are diversified multinational companies. Some of these companies have financial resources and operating staffs substantially larger than ours. As a result, they may be better able to compete in making vessels available more quickly and efficiently, meeting the customer's schedule and withstanding the effect of declines in market prices. They may also be better able to weather a downturn in our customers' industries. As a result, we could lose customers and market share to these competitors. 16 THE COMPANY MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS, LIABILITIES AND PENALTIES IN COMPLYING WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS Government regulation, such as international conventions, federal, state and local laws and regulations in jurisdictions where the Company's vessels operate or are registered, has a significant impact on our operations. These regulations relate to worker health and safety, the manning, construction and operation of vessels, homeland, port and vessel security, and oil spills and other aspects of environmental protection. Risks of incurring substantial compliance costs and liabilities and penalties for non-compliance, particularly with respect to environmental laws and regulations, are inherent in the Company's business. If this happens, it could have a substantial negative impact on the Company's profitability and financial condition. The Company cannot predict whether it will incur such costs or penalties in the future. PETROLEUM SERVICES DEPLOYS SEVERAL VESSELS WHICH, IN THEIR PRESENT CONDITION, WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO CARRY PETROLEUM PRODUCTS IN UNITED STATES WATERS AS OF CERTAIN DATES OCCURRING WITHIN THE NEXT TEN YEARS WHICH COULD IMPACT PROFITABILITY In the event that the Company is not able to replace or retrofit those vessels which it currently uses to carry petroleum products to double hulls, it could become impossible for Petroleum Services to continue to transport petroleum products at current levels for its current customers between ports in the United States after certain dates. Should this occur it could have a negative impact on the profitability of Petroleum Services. LINER SERVICES VESSELS USED IN THE PUERTO RICO AND CARIBBEAN ISLAND SERVICE ARE REACHING THE END OF THEIR USEFUL LIVES AND FAILURE TO REPLACE THEM COULD IMPACT PROFITABILITY The Puerto Rico and Caribbean Island Service, aggregated in our Liner Services segment, uses five 730' Barges and four 580' Barges for its service between the United States and Puerto Rico. These vessels are approximately 75% through their useful lives and must be replaced. If these vessels are not replaced, this could have a substantial negative impact on the profitability of our Liner Services segment. MARINE-RELATED RISKS COULD LEAD TO THE DISRUPTION OF OUR SERVICES AND ADDED LIABILITIES The operation of our vessels is subject to various risks, including catastrophic marine disaster, adverse weather and sea conditions, capsizing, grounding, mechanical failure, collision, oil, chemical and other hazardous substance spills and navigation errors. These risks could endanger the safety of our personnel, our vessels, the cargo we carry, the equipment under tow and other property, as well as the environment. If any of these events was to occur, the Company could be held liable for resulting damages. In addition, the affected vessels could be removed from service and would not be available to generate revenue. Adverse weather and sea conditions can also result in delays in scheduled voyages and thus affect the timing of the recognition of revenue. ADVERSE OUTCOMES IN OUR ASBESTOS-RELATED LAWSUITS COULD HARM OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATION AND CASH FLOWS The Company is a defendant in numerous lawsuits filed on behalf of current, retired or deceased seamen seeking damages for unspecified asbestos-related injuries or diseases as a result of occupational exposure to fibers emitted from asbestos-containing products in the course of employment aboard vessels owned or operated by the Company. See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" and Note 21 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." Additional litigation relating to these matters may be commenced in the future. While it is not possible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of all pending investigations and legal proceedings or provide reasonable ranges of potential losses, given the large and/or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these matters and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results or cash flows. 17 INSURANCE COVERAGE MAY NOT PROTECT THE COMPANY FROM ALL OF THE LIABILITIES THAT COULD ARISE FROM THE RISKS INHERENT IN ITS BUSINESSES The Company is self-insured for marine, workers' compensation, protection and indemnity, liability, cargo and asbestos coverages and obtains reinsurance to cover losses in excess of certain amounts. While the Company attempts to establish adequate self-insurance reserves, unanticipated increases in the frequency or severity of claims against the Company would have an adverse financial impact. Further, there can be no assurance that existing insurance or reinsurance can be renewed at commercially reasonable rates or at all. If a loss occurs that is partially or completely uninsured or if one of the Company's insurance carriers refuses or is unable to pay otherwise insured claims, the Company could be exposed to substantial liability. A terrorist attack on one or more of our vessels anywhere in the world could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Although we currently maintain the maximum available War Risk and Terrorism liability insurance coverage that is available through the International Group of P&I Clubs, a catastrophic occurrence could result in liability in excess of available insurance coverage, resulting in a material adverse affect on our business. WE DEPEND ON ATTRACTING AND RETAINING QUALIFIED, SKILLED EMPLOYEES TO OPERATE OUR BUSINESSES AND PROTECT OUR KNOW-HOW Our results of operations depend in part upon our business know-how. We believe that protection of our know-how depends in large part on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel. Any inability we experience in the future to hire, train and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees could impair our ability to manage and maintain our businesses and to protect our know-how. We require skilled employees who may have to perform physically demanding work. As a result of the volatility of our customers' industries, particularly the oil and chemical industries, and the demanding nature of the work, potential employees may choose to pursue employment in fields that offer a more desirable work environment at wage rates that are competitive with ours. With a reduced pool of workers, it is possible that we will have to raise wage rates to attract workers from other fields and to retain our current employees. If we are not able to increase the rates we charge our customers to compensate for wage-rate increases, our operating results may be adversely affected. ACTIONS BY OUR UNIONIZED LABOR COULD HARM OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATION OR CASH FLOWS The Company's operations are heavily dependent on unionized labor, both in the United States and in foreign markets. Maintenance of satisfactory labor relations is important to our operations. At December 31, 2005, approximately 60% of the Company's employees were members of unions. The Company has collective bargaining agreements with twelve different unions. These agreements will expire between now and 2015. There is no assurance that we will be able to negotiate new collective bargaining agreements on terms favorable to the Company upon expiration of one or more of these agreements. If the Company is not able to negotiate favorable terms, it may be at a competitive disadvantage. In addition, a protracted strike or similar action by a union could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS POSE ADDITIONAL RISKS THAT CAN NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OR CASH FLOWS Substantial amounts of our revenues are derived from our foreign operations. (See Note 23 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.") These operations are subject to various conditions and potential events associated with and inherent in the conduct of business with foreign nations. These include, without limitation, political instability, vessel seizure, nationalization of assets, fluctuating currency values, hard currency shortages, controls of currency exchange, the repatriation of income or capital, import-export quotas, and other forms of public and governmental regulation, all of which are beyond our control. 18 While it is not possible to predict whether any of these conditions will develop or events will occur, the development or occurrence of any one or more of them could have a material adverse affect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. While we do business in many countries outside of the United States, substantially all such business is denominated in United States dollars. Since only some of our expenses outside of the United States are made in United States dollars our expenses in foreign countries could effectively increase if United States dollars decline in value against the local currency. OTHER BUSINESS RISKS, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, MAY IMPACT OUR RESULTS Other risks which may affect our operations and revenues include our ability to: - manage our costs effectively; - finance our operations and construct new vessels on acceptable terms; - charter our vessels on acceptable terms; and - manage these risks successfully. THERE IS NO ESTABLISHED PUBLIC TRADING MARKET FOR OUR STOCK SO SHARES MAY BE DIFFICULT TO SELL There is no established public trading market for our capital stock and none is expected to develop in the foreseeable future. We do not intend to apply for listing of any shares of our capital stock on any securities exchange. We also will not seek to have any of our shares quoted on an inter-dealer quotations system. Accordingly, no assurances can be given as to the liquidity of our shares and the ability of the holders of our shares to sell them in secondary market transactions, or as to the prices at which such shares may be sold. MR. CROWLEY CAN EXERCISE CONTROL OVER ALL MATTERS REQUIRING STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL AND COULD MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT OUR BUSINESS THAT CONFLICT WITH OTHER STOCKHOLDERS' INTERESTS As of February 28, 2006, Thomas B. Crowley, Jr., the Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, beneficially owned approximately 65.2% of our outstanding common stock, 100% of our Class N common stock, and approximately 99.9% of our outstanding Series A preferred stock. This ownership gives Mr. Crowley approximately 78.1% of the total votes attributable to our outstanding voting stock as of February 28, 2006. Because the Series A preferred stock is entitled to vote along with the shares of common stock, Mr. Crowley's stock ownership means that he is able to exercise control over all matters requiring stockholder approval even if other stockholders oppose them. As a result, Mr. Crowley controls all matters affecting the Company, including: - the composition of our board of directors and, through it, any determination with respect to our business direction and policies, including the appointment and removal of officers; - any determinations with respect to mergers or other business combinations; - our acquisition or disposition of assets; - our financing arrangements; and - the payment of dividends on our stock. Mr. Crowley and his family are the beneficiaries of certain split-dollar life insurance agreements and a related settlement agreement. As the Company has previously disclosed, the Company and Mr. Crowley were parties to certain split-dollar life insurance agreements. On April 6, 1992, the Company and Mr. Crowley entered into the first of these agreements (the "1992 Agreement") and on July 20, 1998, the Company and Mr. Crowley entered into a second agreement ("the 1998 Agreement"). Following the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act"), it is uncertain whether the Act prohibits the Company from continuing to pay the annual premiums for these life insurance policies owned by Mr. Crowley and certain trusts for the benefit of his descendants. While the Act does not specifically address these types of insurance arrangements, it generally makes it unlawful for an issuer to extend or maintain credit, to arrange for the 19 extension of credit, or to renew an extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to or for any director or executive officer (or equivalent thereof) of that issuer. Since it is possible that the Act might be construed as treating annual premium payments made after July 30, 2002 under the split-dollar life insurance agreements as new extensions of credit which would be prohibited by the Act, the Company has suspended making any annual premium payments for the life insurance policies owned by Mr. Crowley and the trusts. On December 23, 2003, the Company and Mr. Crowley entered into an agreement terminating and settling the parties' obligations under the 1992 Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement"). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Crowley repaid to the Company $7.5 million, which represented the total amount of premiums paid by the Company under the 1992 Agreement, and Mr. Crowley relinquished all of his rights under the 1992 Agreement. In return, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Crowley an amount equal to the interest payable by him on financing he arranged to repay the $7.5 million to the Company plus applicable taxes. This amount paid to Mr. Crowley is recorded as compensation expense. The Company also suspended its premium payments under the 1998 Agreement because of the possibility that such payments also could be treated as an extension of credit prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Since July 2002, the Company has not paid any premiums under the 1998 Agreement. Rather, premiums have been paid out of the cash surrender value of the underlying policies. Thus, while the Company has ceased performing its obligations under the 1998 Agreement, the underlying policies remain in force and are pledged as security to repay to the Company the premiums it paid under the 1998 Agreement through July 2002. Upon the death of Mrs. Molly M. Crowley, a director of the Company, the net proceeds of the policies of insurance on the life of Mrs. Crowley could be used by Mr. Crowley and the trusts under his control to purchase shares of Common Stock held by the Thomas B. Crowley Marital Trust so that this trust can pay applicable estate taxes. This means that the split-dollar life insurance agreements and related settlement agreement could enable Mr. Crowley and his family to retain ownership of shares and control of the Company under circumstances when certain of such shares might otherwise have to be sold to a third party to pay applicable estate taxes.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. GENERAL LITIGATION In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters at December 31, 2005, cannot be ascertained. While these matters could affect the Company's operating results for any one quarter when resolved in future periods and while there can be no assurance with respect thereto, management believes, with the advice of outside legal counsel, that after final disposition, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company from these matters (except as otherwise disclosed below) would not be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. LITIGATION INVOLVING DIRECTORS A purported class action and derivative complaint was filed on November 30, 2004, in the Court of Chancery (the "Court") in the State of Delaware against the Company and its Board of Directors alleging breaches of the fiduciary duties owed by the director defendants to the Company and its stockholders. Among other things, the complaint alleges that the defendants have pursued a corporate policy of entrenching the Company's controlling stockholder, Thomas B. Crowley, Jr., and certain members of the Crowley family by allegedly expending corporate funds improperly. The plaintiffs seek damages and other relief. On February 25, 2005, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On September 30, 2005, the Court held a hearing and requested additional briefing on several issues from the plaintiff and the Company. That motion was briefed and argued on September 30, 2005. At oral argument, the plaintiffs proposed amending their complaint. On December 27, 2005, plaintiffs formally moved for leave to amend their complaint, and another purported stockholder filed a motion to intervene in the action. On January 19, 2006, the Court ordered that defendants' motion to dismiss is stayed pending resolution of the motion to amend and motion to intervene. Defendants' opposition briefs to the motion to amend and motion to intervene were filed February 27, 2006. The Company believes that there are legal and factual defenses to these claims and intends to defend this action vigorously. The Company believes that an adverse outcome of this case would not have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. ASBESTOS LITIGATION The Company is currently named as a defendant with other shipowners and numerous other defendants with respect to approximately 16,000 maritime asbestos cases and other toxic tort cases, most of which were filed in the Federal Courts in Cleveland, Ohio and Detroit, Michigan. Each of these cases, filed on behalf of a seaman or his personal representative, alleges injury or illness based upon exposure to asbestos or other toxic substances and sets forth a claim based upon the theory of negligence under the Jones Act and on the theory of unseaworthiness under the General Maritime Law. Pursuant to an order issued by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation dated July 29, 1991, all Ohio and Michigan cases ("the Multidistrict Litigation") were transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for pretrial processing. On May 1, 1996, the cases were dismissed subject to reinstatement in the future. At present, it is not known when or how long the process will require. Approximately 31 of the Ohio and Michigan claims which name one or more Company entities as defendants have been reinstated, but the plaintiffs' attorneys are not actively pursuing the cases. Although nine years have passed since the dismissal, it is not known whether a plan can be developed that will result in settlement of the cases. If not settled, upon reinstatement, the cases should be remanded to the Ohio and Michigan Federal Courts. In addition, the Company is a defendant with others in approximately 88 asbestosis or other toxic cases pending in jurisdictions other than the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. These other jurisdictions include state and federal courts located in Northern California, Oregon, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Maryland and New York. These cases contain allegations of injury similar to those alleged in the Multidistrict Litigation cases. 21 Substantially all of the cases described above, as with other asbestos and toxic tort cases in which the Company has been named as a party, not only involve numerous named defendants, but also generally do not allege specific monetary damages beyond the jurisdictional requirement. If specific damages are sought, they would apply in various amounts against various defendants. In many claims that have been asserted against the Company, the plaintiffs have been unable to establish any causal relationship to the Company. In addition, in many asbestos cases, the plaintiffs have been unable to demonstrate that they have suffered any injury or compensable loss that resulted from asbestos exposure or that alleged exposure was related to the Company. The Company has insurance coverage that may reimburse it for a substantial portion of: (a) the costs incurred defending against asbestos claims; and (b) the amounts the Company pays to settle claims or honor judgments by courts. The coverage is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies over a period of many years. The amount of insurance coverage depends on the nature of the alleged exposure to asbestos, the specific subsidiary against which an asbestos claim is asserted and the terms and conditions of the specific policy. At December 31, 2005, the Company has accrued $2.8 million as its best estimate of the liability for pending asbestos and toxic claims and has recorded a receivable from its insurance companies of $1.1 million related to the asbestos litigation described above. The Company does not accrue for unasserted asbestos claims, such as in the Multidistrict Litigation, because it believes that it is not possible to determine whether any loss is probable with respect to such claims or even to estimate the amount or range of the loss, if any. Among the reasons is that the claims are made by an indeterminable number of people that include not just seamen who served on Company vessels, but longshoreman, ship repair workers and others. The unpredictability of personal injury litigation makes it difficult to accurately predict the ultimate resolution of these asbestos and toxic claims. By their very nature, civil actions relating to toxic substances vary according to the fact pattern of each case, including whether the plaintiff can prove actual disease, if any, or actual exposure, if any, to asbestos on Company vessels, the number of defendants and their relative shares of liability in each case, the applicable jurisdiction and numerous other factors. This uncertainty is increased by the possibility of adverse court rulings or new legislation affecting the asbestos claim litigation or the settlement process. It is therefore possible that an adverse outcome in some of these cases could have a material adverse affect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, operating results or cash flows. A summary of the asbestos-related claims for 2005 and 2004 is presented below (dollars are in thousands):
2005 2004 ---- ---- Number of claims filed...................................... 62 60 Number of claims settled.................................... 6 10 Number of claims dismissed.................................. 6 20 Total settlements paid...................................... $ 93 $163 Average settlement.......................................... $ 16 $ 16 Legal expenses paid......................................... $571 $898 Insurance proceeds received................................. $ 77 $298
In addition to the asbestos-related claims in the summary above, in 2004 the Company settled certain asbestos-related claims that involved seamen employed by the Company for over 30 years. The Company expensed $2.1 million and $4.2 million related to this litigation in the first and second quarters of 2004, respectively. Although no insurance receivable has been recorded on these claims, the Company is aggressively pursuing reimbursement from certain insurance companies. In October 2004, the Company submitted demand letters to certain insurance underwriters for settlement amounts and defense costs paid. In November 2004, the Company filed suit against the insurance underwriters. The case is currently in discovery. 22 ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders during the fourth quarter of 2005. PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES. No established public trading market exists for our common stock. Shares of our common stock are neither listed on any national securities exchange, nor presently traded on any inter-dealer quotation system or in any other public market and there are no plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any person with regard to the development of a public trading market in our common stock. Although quotations for shares of our common stock may be obtained in the Pink Sheets (a centralized quotations service that collects and publishes market maker quotes for over-the-counter securities), because secondary market activity for shares of our common stock has been limited and sporadic, such quotations may not accurately reflect the price or prices at which purchasers or sellers would currently be willing to purchase or sell such shares. The following table shows the range of high and low closing bid prices (in dollars per share) for our common stock, as reported in the Pink Sheets, for the periods indicated. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions, if any.

As of March 1, 2006, we had 457 stockholders of record of our voting common stock and 1 holder of record of our Class N non-voting common stock. We pay no dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings to finance operations and fund the growth of our business. Any payment of future dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, contractual restrictions with respect to the payment of dividends and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Payment of cash dividends on our common stock is currently prohibited by the terms of certain agreements to which the Company is a party. The Company's financing agreements for Title XI borrowings contain restrictive covenants which require, among other things, maintenance of annual working capital that is equal to or greater than 50% of the total of annual charter hire and other lease obligations with remaining terms in excess of one year. The amount of minimum working capital so required at December 31, 2005 was $28.3 million. The Company is also prohibited by certain other financing agreements from repurchasing shares of any class of capital stock or declaring or paying any dividend; however, it may repurchase common stock from employee stock ownership plans and pay dividends in any twelve-month period so long as the combined cost does not exceed $10.0 million. At December 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. For information 23 concerning our restrictive covenants see Notes 14 and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." The Company sponsors the Crowley Maritime Corporation Retirement Stock Plan (the "RSP"), which held 8,579 shares of our common stock at December 31, 2005, all of which are fully vested. Distributions of shares allocated to RSP participants are made as soon as practicable following the participant's death, disability retirement, termination of Company employment after attainment of age 65 or termination of employment if the participant's account balance is less than one share. All other vested participants are eligible for distribution on the earlier of: (a) the third calendar quarter of the third plan year that follows the plan year in which the participant terminates Company employment; or (b) the attainment of age 65. All distributions to a participant are in the form of a single, lump sum distribution of whole shares of common stock. Upon the date of distribution and for the immediately succeeding ten days, such shares of Company stock are subject to the Company's right to repurchase them for cash equal to their fair value (based on a non-marketable minority basis), determined by an independent appraisal as of the preceding calendar year-end. The Company also sponsors the Stock Savings Plan (the "SSP"), a profit sharing plan which held 4,075 shares of our common stock at December 31, 2005, all of which are fully released and vested. Upon distribution of common stock from the SSP, each share of common stock contains a put option which provides the participants the option to sell their stock to the Company upon retirement, death or after a break in service at the common stock's fair value (based on a marketable minority basis), determined by an independent appraisal as of the preceding calendar year-end. A summary of the shares purchased by the Company from the RSP and SSP in the fourth quarter of 2005 is as follows:

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA. The following table presents summary consolidated financial and operating data for the Company. The data presented in this table are derived from the audited financial statements of the Company and should be read in conjunction with: (a) the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," which provides a further explanation of the financial data summarized here; and (b) "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," which describes a number of factors which have affected our financial results. In June 2005, the Company reclassified the maximum cash obligation of the SSP stock to "Redeemable Common Stock" included in mezzanine equity from "Stockholders' Equity" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force 89-11, Sponsor's Balance Sheet Classification of Capital Stock with a Put Option Held by an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The amount reclassified at December 31, 2004 was $8.7 million. The Company has evaluated the impact of this reclassification on its basic and diluted earnings per common share in its previously issued audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited quarterly financial statements. The Company determined the effect of this reclassification was not material to any prior periods and therefore, has not restated any basic and diluted earnings per common share in its audited annual and unaudited quarterly financial statements for prior periods. In November 2005, the Company sold a vessel that was a component of the Company, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long- 24 Lived Assets, for $4.2 million. Accordingly, all financial information in "Item 6. Selected Financial Data" and "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" has been restated to present the discontinued vessel operations separately from the Company's continuing operations. As further discussed in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," the Company purchased Northland Fuel and Titan on September 6, 2005 and October 1, 2005, respectively. The Operations of Northland Fuel and Titan are included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations commencing on these respective purchase dates.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. As explained in the beginning of Part I of this report, in addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REORGANIZATION Crowley Maritime Corporation is a diversified transportation and fuel sales and distribution company with global operations. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company implemented a corporate reorganization. As a result of this reorganization, the Company reevaluated its operating segments and reporting segments and retroactively changed them to be aligned with the Company's new structure. The Company is now organized and managed principally by means of five operating segments: Puerto Rico and Caribbean Islands Liner Services, Latin America Liner Services, Logistics Services, Marine Services and Petroleum Services. The Company manages its business operations and evaluates performance based upon the revenue and operating income of each of its operating segments. As a result of the Company's change in its organizational structure: (a) the previously reported Ship Assist and Escort Service and Energy and Marine Service operating segments have been combined into one operating segment called Marine Services; and (b) certain ship management services previously reported under Liner Services and the former Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services are reported in Marine Services. The remaining portions of the former Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services (Petroleum Service and Marine Transport Corporation) are now part of an operating segment named Petroleum Services. The Company has aggregated the Puerto Rico and Caribbean Islands Liner Services and the Latin America Liner Services into one reportable segment called Liner Services. These operating segments are aggregated based upon their long-term financial performance and because their products, services and class of customers are similar. Logistics Services, formerly aggregated in the Liner Services segment, is being reported as a separate reportable segment based upon its long-term financial performance. All prior year consolidated financial information has been restated to reflect the change in segments. 26 ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS On September 6, 2005, the Company acquired from Northland Fuel LLC all of the stock of Service Oil and Gas, Inc and certain assets and liabilities of Yukon Fuel Company, Northland Vessel Leasing Company LLC, and Yutana Barge Lines (collectively "Northland Fuel") for a purchase price of $91.6 million, net of $1.6 million cash acquired. The purchase price was paid with cash. Northland Fuel operates a refined products distribution business in Alaska. The acquisition of Northland Fuel complements the Company's existing business engaged in the transportation, distribution and sale of fuel in Alaska. The operations of Northland Fuel are included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations beginning September 6, 2005 and are reported under the Petroleum Services segment. The working capital component of the purchase price is subject to adjustment, as defined by the purchase agreement for this transaction. The purchase price has been adjusted at December 31, 2005 by a receivable from the seller of $.8 million of estimated additional working capital due. On October 1, 2005, the Company acquired the membership interest of Titan Maritime LLC, and certain assets of Titan Maritime Industries, Inc., Karlissa Associates and Marine Equipment Corp. (collectively "Titan"), a worldwide marine salvage and marine wreck removal business. The acquisition of Titan expands the Company's marine salvage and marine wreck removal business domestically and into international markets. The operations of Titan have been included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations commencing October 1, 2005 and are reported under the Marine Services segment. The purchase price of $17.7 million, net of $1.6 million cash acquired, is comprised of $12.5 million of cash, a $5.0 million promissory note, and a working capital payable to the sellers of $1.8 million. The working capital component of the purchase price is subject to adjustment through September 30, 2006 based on actual revenues earned and expenses paid. The promissory note is payable in five annual installments of $1.0 million plus interest at the Citibank prime interest rate. In addition, the sellers are entitled to an earn-out for five years based upon Titan's financial performance during that period as defined by the purchase agreement. In April 2005, the Company purchased a vessel for $9.5 million that was chartered by the Company pursuant to a time charter which was not scheduled to expire until 2009. As of the date of the purchase, the Company: (a) was released from its obligations under the time charter; and (b) became no longer obligated to pay the $32.0 million of time charter hire which, in the absence of the purchase of the vessel and the termination of the time charter, would have been payable between April 11, 2005 and 2009. In September 2005, the management of the Company approved the disposal of a vessel and as a result performed an impairment test on the recoverability of the vessel in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, at September 30, 2005. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $5.6 million as a result of this evaluation. The vessel represents a component of the Company whose operations and cash flows were eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as defined by SFAS No. 144. In October 2005, the Company met all of the requirements to account for the disposal of the vessel as discontinued operations; accordingly, the operations and impairment charge of the vessel were reclassified as discontinued operations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005 and prior year consolidated financial statements have been restated. In November 2005, the vessel was sold for $4.2 million, resulting in a gain on disposal of $.2 million. We are continually looking for opportunities that will complement or strengthen our existing businesses. As part of these efforts, we: (1) purchased Northland Fuel in September 2005; (2) purchased Titan in October 2005; (3) entered into a construction contract in August of 2005 for4 articulated tug/barge units ("ATBs"); and (4) entered into a construction contract in June of 2004 for 2 ATBs. To be certain that we have the financial resources required for any project that meets our criteria, we maintain a $95.0 million revolving line of credit. The Company had drawn $10.0 million against this revolving line of credit for working capital at December 31, 2005. The Company also had $34.3 million of outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2005 which left available borrowings of $50.7 million at December 31, 2005 under its revolving line of credit. At December 31, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $33.9 million, working capital of $43.9 million, and total debt in the amount of $356.1 million. 27 HURRICANE KATRINA On August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast of the United States causing damage to a terminal in Gulfport, Mississippi leased by the Company's Latin America Liner Service and the destruction of approximately 1,200 pieces of leased and owned equipment. In addition, there have been certain general liability and cargo claims filed against the Company directly related to the storm. Furthermore, a barge owned by the Company and docked in Mobile, Alabama was washed ashore and is considered a constructive total loss. As a result of this event, the Company has recorded net estimated losses of $1.2 million as Operating Expense in its Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. These losses are net of estimated insurance proceeds of $1.2 million. Estimated insurance proceeds have been recorded up to the amount of losses incurred on the owned and leased equipment. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has recorded $3.0 million of insurance claims payable and $7.0 million of receivables from reinsurers arising from this event. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of Hurricane Katrina and updates its estimates as facts and circumstances continue to develop. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, upon which this MD&A is based, requires management to make estimates which impact those consolidated financial statements. The most critical of these estimates and accounting policies relate to long-lived asset depreciation, amortization and impairment, dry-docking, goodwill and intangibles, revenue recognition, insurance reserves and litigation and environmental reserves. In particular, the accounting for these areas requires significant judgments to be made by management. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. For a more complete discussion of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." LONG-LIVED ASSET DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION AND IMPAIRMENT The Company monitors expenditures for long-lived assets to determine their appropriate useful lives. This determination is based on historical experience with similar assets and the assets' expected use in the Company's business. The determination of the assets' depreciable life can significantly impact the financial statements. In addition, the Company depreciates property and equipment, less estimated salvage value, using the straight-line method as such method is considered to be the most appropriate systematic and rational method to allocate the cost of property and equipment over the period in which it is to be in use. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset, when indicators of impairment are present, by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value. DRY-DOCKING Under U.S. Coast Guard Rules, administered through the American Bureau of Shipping's alternative compliance program, all vessels must meet specified seaworthiness standards to remain in service carrying cargo between U.S. marine terminals. Vessels must undergo regular inspection, monitoring and maintenance, referred to as dry-docking, to maintain the required operating certificates. These dry-dockings generally occur every two and a half years, or twice every five years. Because dry-dockings enable the vessel to continue operating in compliance with U.S. Coast Guard requirements, the costs of these scheduled dry-dockings for major owned vessels are deferred and amortized on the straight-line basis until the next regularly scheduled dry-docking period. The Company capitalizes dry-docking costs for major owned vessels (Tank Ships, 580' Barges, 730' Barges, Integrated Tug/Barge units and Articulated Tug/Barge units). Vessel dry-docking costs for other 28 owned vessels (Offshore Tugs, Tractor Tugs, River Tugs, 1,000-5,999 DWT Barges, 6,000-20,000 DWT Barges and miscellaneous barges) are not individually significant and are expensed as incurred as repair and maintenance expense. The types of material costs that are incurred for dry-dockings include compliance with regulatory and vessel classification inspection requirements, blasting and coating of steel and steel replacement. Mobilization costs to and from the dry docking location are expensed as incurred. During a vessel dry-docking, the Company will occasionally replace vessel machinery or equipment and perform procedures that materially enhance capabilities or extend the useful life of a vessel. In these circumstances, the expenditures are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the vessel. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES Goodwill represents the costs of acquired companies in excess of the fair value of their net tangible assets. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill deemed to have an indefinite life is not amortized, but is subject to annual impairment testing. The identification and measurement of goodwill impairment involves the estimation of the fair value of reporting units. The estimates of fair value of reporting units are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment; the assessment primarily incorporates management assumptions about expected future cash flows and contemplates other valuation techniques. Future cash flows can be affected by changes in industry or market conditions or the rate and extent to which anticipated synergies or cost savings are realized with newly acquired entities. Although no goodwill impairment has been recorded to date, there can be no assurances that future goodwill impairments will not occur. Identifiable intangible assets (either through acquisition or debt issuance) are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. When an indication of impairment is present, we estimate the future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company's accounting policies for revenue recognition are predicated on the type of service provided. The common carrier services included in Liner Services are recognized on the proportional performance basis over each voyage by load and discharge port. Revenue from the Company's Logistics Services, a portion of the revenue generated by Marine Services and fuel sales of the Petroleum Services are recognized as services are provided. Revenues from Petroleum Services, except fuel sales, and a portion of Marine Services are recognized on the proportional performance basis over the length of the contract. Estimated losses are provided at the time such losses become evident. The Company's recognition of revenue includes estimates of the total costs incurred for each service and the total billings to perform the service that impacts the estimated operating margin. While the Company has processes in place to assist in developing these estimates, if the Company experiences significantly higher costs or a significant decrease in estimated billings, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially impacted. SALVAGE REVENUE RECOGNITION Marine Services enters into certain marine salvage contracts on Lloyd's Standard Form of Salvage Agreement ("LOF"). The LOF is administered by the Lloyd's Salvage Arbitration Branch ("Lloyd's"). These contracts are governed by the International Convention on Salvage, IMO 1989, and recognize two different types of remuneration: (a) Article 13 awards, which is traditional compensation based on the value of the salved property and other factors weighted by Lloyd's salvage arbitrators; and (b) Article 14 awards which is special compensation based on the salvor's costs of operations to minimize/eliminate the risk of environmental harm. 29 When conducting a marine salvage the parties that own the vessel and cargo being salved must provide satisfactory security for the Company's claim, including interest and costs, before obtaining possession of the salved vessel and cargo. This security is normally a lien against the value of the vessel and cargo. When the salvage is complete, all of the parties will attempt to settle the contract based on the value of the salved property, primarily vessel and cargo, along with other factors, including taking into account the expense and risk undertaken by the salvor. If the parties cannot agree on the amount to be paid to the salvor, the LOF is subject to arbitration at Lloyd's. The significant items the arbitrator will consider when assessing what to assign as an award are: (a) the salved value of the vessel and cargo; (b) the skill and efforts of the salvors in preventing or minimizing damage to the environment and salving the vessel and other property; (c) the measure of success obtained by the salvor; (d) the nature and degree of danger; and (e) the time used and expenses and losses incurred by salvors. The time period between when the salvage is completed and the award is settled or arbitrated can be six months to two years. The Company recognizes costs as incurred on these LOF contracts. Revenue is recognized to the extent of costs incurred in order to appropriately match revenues with costs, provided that the Company has earned the revenue. The Company has historically recovered at least its costs in substantially all of its prior salvage operations. Additional revenues in excess of costs incurred are recorded at the time the final LOF settlement or arbitration award occurs. INSURANCE RESERVES The Company is self-insured for marine, workers compensation, protection and indemnity, liability, cargo and asbestos coverages, subject to certain individual and aggregate stop-loss limits. The Company records its self-insurance liability based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The estimates used by management are based on the Company's historical experience as well as current facts and circumstances including those for salvage and subrogation reserves. Reinsurance is obtained to cover losses in excess of certain limits. Claims receivables are recorded when it is determined that it is probable the costs of the insured events are recoverable from the insurance company. LITIGATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVES The Company monitors its outstanding litigation (including unasserted claims) and estimates the expected probable loss (if any) of each claim or potential claim. If a range of probable loss is determined, the Company records a reserve at the low end of the range, unless there are indications that another amount within the range better approximates the expected loss. The determination of whether a litigation reserve is necessary is based on internal analysis by management, consultation with the Company's general counsel and, when necessary, consultations with external counsel. The Company's litigation reserves are a significant estimate that can and do change based upon management's evaluation of the Company's existing and potential litigation liabilities. The Company is a defendant with respect to numerous maritime asbestos cases and other toxic tort cases. The Company is neither able to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation nor provide an estimate of the amount or range of potential loss. In addition, the Company is responsible for environmental remediation relating to contamination of property. Undiscounted liabilities are recorded when the responsibility for such remediation is considered probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The ultimate future environmental costs, however, will depend upon the extent of contamination and the future costs of remediation. The ultimate resolution of these litigation and environmental liabilities could have a material impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See "Item 3.

Consolidated operating revenues increased $94.0 million, or 10.4%, to $997.5 million in 2005 compared with $903.5 million in 2004. This increase was primarily the result of the following events or circumstances: - $51.4 million generated in our Liner Services segment as a result of an increase in rates which was partially offset by a decrease in container and noncontainer volumes; 31 - $14.5 million generated in our Marine Services segment by higher overall contract demand and utilization for the tug and barge fleet in the Gulf of Mexico, along the U.S. West Coast, and in Alaska; - $8.9 million generated in our Marine Services segment from the operations of Titan, a marine salvage business acquired in October 2005; and - $8.6 million generated in our Logistics Service segment caused by continued expansion of warehousing and distribution operations in Central America. Consolidated fuel sales revenues increased $106.5 million, or 122.6%, to $193.4 million in 2005 compared with $86.9 million in 2004 due to an increase in prices and volumes of fuel sold directly by our Petroleum Service segment. The Company's fuel volume sold increased to 78.2 million gallons during 2005 from 44.1 million gallons during 2004, primarily due to the operations of Northland Fuel acquired in September 2005. Consolidated operating expenses increased $55.2 million, or 6.9%, to $854.4 million in 2005 compared with $799.2 million in 2004. Vessel and non-vessel-related costs increased by $34.3 million and $13.6 million, respectively, in 2005 as compared with 2004. The increase in vessel-related costs was mostly attributable to an increase in fuel and crew costs. The increase in non-vessel-related costs was mostly attributable to increases in fuel, terminal, purchased transportation and subcontracting costs. Also, direct administrative expenses increased $7.3 million in 2005 compared to 2004 as a result of an increase in administrative payroll expenses primarily as a result of the acquisition of Northland Fuel. Consolidated cost of fuel sold increased $96.6 million to $168.5 million in 2005 compared with $71.9 million in 2004 as the result of higher volumes and costs of fuel purchased by us for resale. The increase in volume was primarily due to our acquisition of Northland Fuel in September 2005. Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased $4.8 million, or 14.8%, to $37.3 million in 2005 compared with $32.5 million in 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in payroll and software maintenance related costs, which was partially offset by a decrease in professional fees. Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.5 million, or 4.0%, to $65.1 million in 2005 compared with $62.6 million in 2004. This increase was the result of an increase in depreciation in the amount of $.9 million, dry-dock amortization in the amount of $1.3 million, and an impairment loss of $.6 million recorded on non-compete agreements in the second quarter of 2005. The increase in depreciation was a result of assets placed in service during 2005, including those acquired from Northland and Titan, and was partially offset by a decrease resulting from certain assets that became fully depreciated. Dry-dock amortization for 17 vessels was $18.7 million in 2005 compared with amortization of $17.4 million for 13 vessels during 2004. Consolidated asset recoveries, net increased $10.5 million to a recovery of $15.3 million in 2005 compared with a recovery of $4.8 million in 2004. The gains during 2005 resulted from the sale of equipment and twelve vessels. The gains during 2004 resulted from the sale of equipment, land and 7 vessels. These gains were partially offset by impairment charges of $1.2 million on 4 vessels which were taken out of service and held for sale. As a result, our consolidated operating income increased $51.8 million to $80.8 million in 2005 compared with $29.0 million in 2004. Due to higher interest rates, interest income increased $1.3 million to $3.3 million in 2005 compared with $2.0 million in 2004. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average cash and cash equivalents balance during 2005 compared with 2004. Interest expense decreased $.6 million, or 3.0%, to $19.6 million in 2005 compared with $20.2 million in 2004. A $1.0 million increase in interest expense incurred for certain vessel financings was offset by $2.1 million in higher capitalized interest during 2005 compared with 2004. Income tax expense increased $21.3 million to $23.4 million in 2005 compared with $2.1 million in 2004. The effective tax rate was 35.6% and 17.5% for 2005 and 2004, respectively. The 2004 effective tax rate was 32 reduced primarily due to lower vessel repairs which may be capitalized for tax purposes and favorable Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") court case resolution. These events did not occur in 2005 resulting in a more normalized effective tax rate. Discontinued operations decreased $18.5 million to a loss of $3.5 million for 2005 compared with income of $15.0 million for 2004. The loss in 2005 was primarily due to the sale of a vessel during the fourth quarter that was considered a component of the Company, as defined by SFAS No. 144. The income in 2004 resulted from the receipt of a termination payment in conjunction with the sale of a vessel during the fourth quarter of 2004 that was considered a component of the Company, as defined by SFAS No. 144. The Company received a payment in the amount of $20.8 million pursuant to the termination of a series of charters for the vessel. As a result, net income attributable to common stockholders increased $13.7 million to $37.0 million ($274.83 basic earnings per common share and $238.78 diluted earnings per common share) for 2005 compared with a net income attributable to common stockholders of $23.3 million ($172.50 basic earnings per common share and $154.22 diluted earnings per common share) for 2004. The following table sets forth: (a) operating revenues and operating income for Liner Services, Logistics Services, Marine Services, and Petroleum Services for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based upon the operating income of the segment, excluding other income and expenses (which includes interest income, interest expense, and minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries) and income taxes. See the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for further information. Included in operating income of all four of our segments are allocations for corporate services, which include vessel acquisition, engineering services, accounting, legal, human resources, information technology, insurance services and purchasing support. Vessel acquisition charges represent an allocation of the utilized vessels, depreciation and amortization based on intercompany bareboat charters. Other corporate services are allocated based upon various assumptions, depending on the type of cost being allocated.

33 Liner Services Operating revenues from our Liner Services segment increased $51.4 million, or 8.7%, to $639.1 million in 2005 compared with $587.7 million in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to a 9.5% increase in average revenue per twenty-foot equivalent, or TEU ("average revenue"), which was partially offset by a decrease of .7% in container and noncontainer volume. The average revenue increase was a result of: (a) rate increases for our services between the United States and Puerto Rico and between the United States and certain Caribbean Islands and the Bahamas; and (b) increases in fuel surcharges in both the Puerto Rico and Caribbean Islands Services and Latin America Services. The Company's container and noncontainer volume decreased to 595,546 TEUs during 2005 from 599,693 TEUs during 2004. Operating expenses for our Liner Services segment increased $35.3 million, or 6.6%, to $571.9 million in 2005 compared with $536.6 million in 2004. Vessel and non-vessel-related expenses increased $26.1 million and $11.6 million, respectively, during 2005 compared with 2004. Vessel-related expenses consist primarily of fuel, vessel maintenance and repairs, crew and charter costs, while non-vessel expenses consist primarily of costs for labor, facilities, purchased transportation, terminal, port charges, equipment, rent and equipment repairs and maintenance. Direct administrative expenses decreased $2.4 million in 2005 compared to 2004 primarily as a result of decreased insurance charges. Depreciation and amortization for our Liner Services segment increased $2.9 million, or 25.9%, to $14.1 million in 2005 compared with $11.2 million in 2004. Depreciation increased by $.9 million as a result of assets placed in service during 2005. Dry-dock amortization increased $1.9 million as a result of amortizing dry-dock costs for 9 vessels during each of 2005 and 2004. The cost of drydocking 4 vessels in 2005 was $2.9 million higher than the cost of dry-docking three vessels in 2004, resulting in higher amortization in 2005 compared with 2004. Asset recoveries, net for our Liner Services segment increased $3.8 million to $4.5 million in 2005 compared with $.7 million in 2004. The gains during 2005 and 2004 resulted from disposals of equipment. As a result, the operating income from our Liner Services segment increased $18.2 million to $42.2 million in 2005 compared with $24.0 million in 2004. Logistics Services Operating revenues from our Logistics Services segment increased $9.7 million, or 25.3%, to $48.1 million in 2005 compared with $38.4 million in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $8.6 million due to the continued expansion of warehousing and distribution operations in Central America. Operating expenses for our Logistics Services segment increased $5.6 million, or 13.7%, to $46.5 million in 2005 compared with $40.9 million in 2004. The increase was mostly due to an increase in purchased transportation to support the continued expansion of warehousing and distribution operations in Central America. As a result, the operating loss from our Logistics Services segment decreased $3.7 million to $2.1 million in 2005 compared with $5.8 million in 2004. Marine Services Operating revenues from our Marine Services segment increased $22.5 million, or 13.9%, to $183.9 million in 2005 compared with $161.4 million in 2004. The increase in revenue is attributed to: (a) $8.9 million generated from the operations of Titan, a marine salvage business acquired in October 2005; (b) $3.1 million generated by an increase in rates directly attributable to a fuel surcharge to cover rising fuel prices; (c) $5.0 million generated by our ship management operations due to higher rates and increased levels of activity; and (d) $14.5 million generated by higher overall contract demand and utilization for the tug and barge fleet in the Gulf of Mexico, along the U.S. West Coast, and in Alaska. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of: (a) $5.2 million in revenues caused by reduced activity in our Northern Alaskan land 34 operations; and (b) $6.5 million in revenues caused by a decrease in scope of operations in Far East Russia. Overall vessel utilization increased to 62% during 2005 compared with 59% during 2004. Operating expenses for our Marine Services segment increased $15.6 million, or 8.3%, to $202.5 million in 2005 compared with $186.9 million in 2004. A net increase of $16.0 million in vessel-related expenses during 2005 compared with 2004 primarily resulted from: (a) higher fuel and labor costs arising from vessels chartered, at cost, to our Puerto Rico and Caribbean Islands Service; (b) overall increases in fuel costs due to increased fuel prices and higher utilization; and (c) increases in crew costs due to higher vessel utilization. These increases in vessel expenses were partially offset by a decrease in vessel repairs and maintenance due to a reduction in the number of vessels that were dry-docked. A net decrease of $3.2 million in non-vessel expenses primarily resulted from a reduction in operating materials and payroll-related costs due to seasonal operations and changes in project work and partially offset by an increase in subcontracting costs. Direct administrative expenses increased $2.8 million in 2005 compared to 2004 primarily as a result of increased insurance charges. Asset recoveries, net for our Marine Services segment increased $6.1 million to a recovery of $10.3 million in 2005 compared with $4.2 million in 2004. The gains during 2005 resulted from the sale of 11 vessels and equipment. During 2004, a gain of $4.5 million resulted from the sale of 5 vessels and land improvements, which was partially offset by a $1.2 million writedown on 4 vessels. As a result, the operating income from our Marine Services segment increased by $22.4 million to operating income of $21.4 million in 2005 compared with an operating loss of $1.0 in 2004. Petroleum Services Operating revenues from our Petroleum Services segment increased $10.5 million, or 9.1%, to $126.4 million in 2005 compared with $115.9 million in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to: (a) $5.9 million generated by an increase in rates as a result of backhaul activity on the U.S. East Coast; and (b) $3.5 million generated by increased rates and demand for oil transportation services on the U.S. West Coast. Fuel sales revenues from our Petroleum Services segment increased $106.5 million, or 122.6%, to $193.4 million in 2005 compared with $86.9 million in 2004 due to an increase in prices and volumes of fuel sold directly by our Petroleum Service segment. The Company's fuel volume sold increased to 78.2 million gallons during 2005 from 44.1 million gallons during 2004 primarily due to the operations of Northland Fuel acquired in September 2005. Operating expenses for our Petroleum Services segment increased $11.9 million, or 12.0%, to $110.9 million in 2005 compared with $99.0 million in 2004. Vessel and non-vessel-related expenses increased $2.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively, during 2005 as compared with 2004. These increases are attributable to an increase in the size of the vessel fleet as a result of vessels acquired as part the acquisition of Northland Fuel. Vessel-related expenses consist primarily of fuel, crew, vessel maintenance and repairs and charter costs, while non-vessel expenses consist primarily of costs for labor, facilities, purchased transportation and port charges and related costs. Direct administrative expenses increased $6.0 million in 2005 compared to 2004 primarily as a result of the acquisition of Northland Fuel. Cost of fuel sold for the Petroleum Services segment increased $96.6 million to $168.5 million in 2005 compared with $71.9 million in 2004 as the result of higher volumes and costs of fuel purchased by us for resale. The increase in volume was primarily due to our acquisition of Northland Fuel in September 2005. Depreciation and amortization for our Petroleum Services segment increased $.8 million, or 5.1%, to $16.5 million in 2005 compared with $15.7 million in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1.3 million increase in depreciation. The increase in depreciation was a result of depreciation recorded on assets placed in service during 2005 and assets acquired as a result of the Northland Fuel acquisition during the third quarter of 2005. This increase was partially offset by a $.6 million decrease in dry-dock amortization for vessels. Dry-dock costs for 8 vessels were amortized during 2005 and 4 vessels were amortized during 2004. 35 Asset recoveries, net for our Petroleum Services segment increased $.6 million in 2005 compared with 2004. Asset recoveries during 2005 resulted from the sale of one vessel and equipment. As a result, the operating income from our Petroleum Services segment increased $7.5 million to $19.3 million in 2005 compared with $11.8 in 2004.

36 Consolidated revenues in 2004 increased $30.6 million, or 3.2%, to $990.4 million compared with $959.8 million in 2003. This increase was the result of the following events or circumstances: - $43.5 million from our Liner Services segment as a result of an increase in rates and container and noncontainer volume; - $9.5 million generated by a transportation management company specializing in the apparel industry that was acquired in 2003 by our Logistics Services; - $10.6 million generated in our Petroleum Services segment from direct sales of fuel as the result of higher prices that was partially offset by lower volumes sold; - $12.8 million generated in our Marine Services segment by the vessel mobilization and transportation of oil exploration cargo in Far East Russia and Korea; and - $6.0 million generated in our Marine Services segment by increased government and commercial contract activity in the Gulf of Mexico and United States west coast. These increases were partially offset by decreases in revenues which resulted from the following events or circumstances: - $36.7 million from fewer vessels operating in our Petroleum Services segment as a result of vessels being sold or dry-docked; - $7.4 million in our Petroleum Services segment as a result of reduced demand for oil transportation services on the U.S. West Coast; and - $9.0 million in our Marine Services segment from reduced activity in our Northern Alaskan marine and land operations. Consolidated operating expenses increased $25.6 million in 2004, or 3.3%, to $799.2 million compared with $773.6 million in 2003. This increase in consolidated operating expenses was primarily caused by: - $14.2 million in vessel-related costs and $19.6 million in non-vessel costs from our Liner Services segment as a result of an increase in container and noncontainer volume; - $10.7 million attributable to the operations of a transportation management company specializing in the apparel industry that we acquired in 2003 by our Logistics Services segment; - $4.4 million in vessel-related costs and $2.1 million in non-vessel costs due to changes in project work, mostly within our Far East Russia and Northern Alaska operations in our Marine Services segment; and - $6.3 million for a payment made by the Company during the second quarter of 2004 to settle certain asbestos-related claims. These increases were partially offset by decreased operating expenses of: - $37.0 million in vessel-related expenses as a result of reduced demand for oil transportation activities on the U.S. West Coast and fewer vessels operating in the Petroleum Services as a result of vessels being sold or dry-docked. Consolidated cost of fuel sold increased $6.8 million, or 10.4%, to $71.9 million in 2004 compared with $65.1 million in 2003. This increase was attributable to higher fuel prices for fuel purchased for our direct fuel sales that was partially offset by a decrease in volume sold. Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million, or 3.5%, to $32.5 million in 2004 compared with $31.4 million in 2003. This increase is primarily attributable to a $.6 million increase in payroll related costs and a $.4 million increase in insurance costs related to split-dollar insurance and director life insurance policies. 37 Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.8 million, or 8.3%, to $62.6 million in 2004 compared with $57.8 million in 2003. This increase is the result of an increase in dry-dock amortization in the amount of $8.4 million and a $.4 million impairment loss recorded on a non-compete agreement during 2004 and was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation of $4.2 million. Dry-dock costs for 13 vessels were amortized in 2004 compared with 10 vessels in 2003. The decrease in depreciation was mostly caused by lower depreciation expense due to a reduction in the number of vessels in service. Consolidated asset recoveries, net decreased $.6 million, or 11.1%, to a recovery of $4.8 million in 2004 compared with a recovery of $5.4 million in 2003. During 2004, gains of $6.1 million resulted from the sale of equipment, land and 7 vessels. These gains were partially offset by impairment charges of $1.2 million on 4 vessels which were taken out of service and held for sale. During 2003, gains of $5.7 resulted from the sale of equipment, land, land improvements and 10 vessels, which was partially offset by a $.3 million writedown of vessel improvements. As a result, our consolidated operating income decreased $8.3 million, or 22.3% to $29.0 million in 2004 compared with $37.3 million in 2003. Due to an increase in the Company's average cash and cash equivalent amounts on hand and higher interest rates in 2004, interest income increased $1.6 million to $2.0 million in 2004 compared with $.4 million in 2003. Interest expense increased $.5 million, or 2.5%, to $20.2 million in 2004 compared with $19.7 million in 2003. This increase was due to a $1.1 million increase in interest expense incurred for vessel financings which was partially offset by a decrease of $.4 million in interest expense on our Revolving Credit Agreement. There were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement during 2004. Minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries decreased $1.6 million to $.1 million in 2004 compared with $1.7 million in 2003. This decrease is due to the Company's acquisition in December 2003 of the remaining 25% interest in a joint venture in which it previously owned a 75% interest. Other income increased $.9 million to $1.0 million in 2004 compared with $.1 million in 2003 due to income earned on investments of the Company's deferred compensation plan. The investments are classified as trading securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Income tax expense decreased $5.6 million, to $2.1 million in 2004 compared with $7.7 million in 2003. The effective tax rate was 17.5% for 2004 and 39.0% for 2003. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to reduced vessel repairs which may be capitalized for tax purposes and favorable IRS court case resolution. Discontinued operations increased $13.8 million to income of $15.0 million in 2004 from $1.2 million in 2003. This increase was due to the sale of a vessel that was considered a component of the Company, as defined by SFAS No. 144. The Company received a payment in the amount of $20.8 million pursuant to the termination of a series of charters for the vessel. As a result, net income attributable to common stockholders increased $12.1 million to $23.3 million ($172.50 basic earnings per common share and $154.22 diluted earnings per common share) in 2004 compared with $11.2 million ($82.87 basic earnings per common share and $79.17 diluted earnings per common share) in 2003. 38 The following table sets forth operating revenues and operating income for Liner Services, Logistics Services, Marine Services, and Petroleum Services for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Liner Services Revenues from our Liner Services segment increased $43.5 million, or 8.0%, to $587.7 million in 2004 compared with $544.2 million in 2003. The increase is primarily attributable to a 3.0% increase in container and noncontainer volume and a 4.8% increase in average revenue. The Company's container and noncontainer volume increased to 599,693 TEUs during 2004 from 581,955 TEUs during 2003 due to: (a) a service from the United States to Haiti which commenced operation during the third quarter of 2003; and (b) growth in our Central America-Gulf service. The average revenue increase was a result of: (a) rate increases for our services between the United States and Puerto Rico and between the United States and certain Caribbean Islands and the Bahamas; and (b) increases in fuel surcharges. Operating expenses for our Liner Services segment increased $43.6 million, or 8.8%, to $536.6 million in 2004 compared with $493.0 million in 2003. An increase in container and noncontainer volume and growth in our service to Haiti and our Central America-Gulf service generated an increase of $14.2 million in vessel and $19.6 million in non-vessel-related expenses. Vessel-related expenses consist primarily of fuel, vessel maintenance and repairs, crew and charter costs, while non-vessel expenses consist primarily of costs for labor, facilities, purchased transportation, terminal, port charges, equipment, and equipment maintenance and repairs. Allocation of certain costs arising from the settlement in 2004 of certain asbestos-related claims resulted in an increase of $4.0 million of operating expenses in 2004 compared with 2003. Depreciation and amortization for our Liner Services segment increased $1.7 million, or 17.9%, to $11.2 million in 2004 compared with $9.5 million in 2003. The increase was directly attributable to a $2.0 million increase in dry-dock amortization. Liner Services amortized dry-dock costs for 9 vessels during the year ended December 31, 2004 compared with 6 vessels during the year ended December 31, 2003. Asset recoveries, net for our Liner Services segment decreased $.3 million, or 30.0%, to $.7 million in 2004 compared with $1.0 million in 2003. The gains of $.7 million resulted from disposals of equipment during 39 the year ended December 31, 2004 and the gains of $1.0 million resulted from the disposals of two vessels and equipment during the year ended December 31, 2003. As a result, the operating income from our Liner Services segment decreased $1.0 million to $24.0 million in 2004 compared with $25.0 million in 2003. Logistics Services Revenues from our Logistics Services segment increased $11.0 million, or 40.1%, to $38.4 million in 2004 compared with $27.4 million in 2003. This increase resulted from: (a) an increase of $2.3 million generated by our expanding warehousing and distribution operations in Central America; and (b) $9.5 million of revenue generated by a transportation management company specializing in the apparel industry that we purchased in July 2003. Operating expenses for our Logistics Services segment increased $10.4 million, or 34.1%, to $40.9 million in 2004 compared with $30.5 million in 2003. This increase resulted from $10.7 million incurred by a transportation management company specializing in the apparel industry purchased in July 2003. Depreciation and amortization for our Logistics Services segment increased $.8 million to $1.6 million in 2004 compared with $.8 million in 2003. The increase was directly attributable to a $.4 million impairment loss recorded on a non-compete agreement during 2004. As a result, the operating loss from Logistics Services segment increased $.3 million to $5.8 million in 2004 compared with $5.5 million in 2003. Marine Services Revenues from our Marine Services segment increased $9.9 million, or 6.5%, to $161.4 million in 2004 compared with $151.5 million for 2003. The increase was directly attributable to an increase in 2004 revenues of: (a) $12.8 million from vessel mobilization and transportation of oil exploration cargo in Far East Russia and Korea; (b) $6.0 million generated by increased government and commercial contract activity in the Gulf of Mexico and United States west coast; and (c) a $2.1 million increase in rates, most of which was attributable to a fuel surcharge to cover rising fuel prices. This increase was partially offset by reduced 2004 revenues of: (a) $9.0 million caused by reduced activity in our Northern Alaskan marine and land operations; and (b) $1.8 million from a decrease in tug volumes, largely as a result of decreased tanker volumes in the Puget Sound, Washington. Overall vessel utilization increased to 59% in 2004 compared to 57% in 2003. Operating expenses for our Marine Services segment increased $16.2 million, or 9.5%, to $186.9 million during 2004 compared with $170.7 million in 2003. Vessel-related costs, such as crew, fuel repairs and maintenance and charter costs, increased by $10.9 million. Included in this increase was $6.5 million resulting from vessels chartered, at cost, by our Marine Services segment to our Puerto Rico and Caribbean Islands Liner Service. Non-vessel expenses increased $2.1 million, including an increase in operating materials, contracted services and payroll-related costs due to changes in project work and a decrease in property taxes. Depreciation and amortization for our Marine Services segment decreased $1.3 million, or 10.7%, to $10.9 million during 2004 compared with $12.2 million during 2003. The decrease was the result of a reduction in depreciation in the amount of $1.0 million due to fewer vessels in service and a $.3 million depreciation adjustment made for a vessel placed in service during the first quarter of 2003 that was previously classified as held for sale. Asset recoveries, net for our Marine Services segment increased $1.6 million, or 61.5%, to a recovery of $4.2 million in 2004 as compared with $2.6 million in 2003. During 2004, a gain of $4.5 million resulted from the sale of 5 vessels and land improvements, which was partially offset by a $1.2 million writedown on 4 vessels. During 2003, a gain of $2.9 million resulted from the sale of 5 vessels and land improvements, which were partially offset by a $.3 million writedown of vessel improvements. As a result, the operating loss from our Marine Services segment decreased $2.2 million to $1.0 million for 2004 compared with $3.2 million in 2003. 40 Petroleum Services Revenues from our Petroleum Services segment decreased $33.9 million, or 14.3%, to $202.8 million in 2004 compared with $236.7 million for 2003. The decrease is directly attributable to: (a) a $7.4 million decrease in revenues caused by reduced demand for oil transportation services on the U.S. West Coast; and (b) a $36.7 million decrease in revenues caused by the absence of certain vessels in 2004 (either due to sale or drydocking of the vessels) that were in service during 2003. This decrease was partially offset by a $10.6 million increase in revenues generated from direct sales of fuel as the result of higher prices and the replacement of one large customer lost with new customers. Overall vessel utilization decreased to 64% in 2004 compared to 69% in 2003. Operating expenses for our Petroleum Services segment decreased $36.3 million, or 26.8%, to $99.0 million during 2004 compared with $135.3 million during 2003. This decrease is primarily attributable to decreased vessel costs, including decreases in fuel, crew, and vessel maintenance and repair costs and increases in charter hire costs. Overall vessel costs decreased due to the absence of certain vessels in 2004 (either due to sale or drydocking of the vessels) that were in service during 2003. Cost of fuel sold for our Petroleum Services segment increased $6.8 million, or 10.4%, to $71.9 million in 2004 compared with $65.1 million in 2003. This increase was attributable to higher fuel prices for fuel purchased for our direct fuel sales and additional volume from new customers and was partially offset by a decrease in volume sold due to the loss of one large customer. Depreciation and amortization for our Petroleum Services segment increased $4.2 million, or 36.5%, to $15.7 million during 2004 compared with $11.5 million during 2003. The increase was directly attributable to a $7.2 million increase in dry-dock amortization for vessels and was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation of $3.0 million. A decrease in depreciation was caused by the disposal of vessels during 2003. Dry-dock costs for 4 vessels were amortized during each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. The cost of drydocking three vessels in 2003 was $15.7 million higher than the cost of dry-docking one vessel in 2004, resulting in higher amortization in 2004 compared with 2003. Asset recoveries, net for our Petroleum Services segment decreased $1.8 million during 2004 compared with 2003 due to the sale of three vessels and land during 2003. As a result, the operating income from Petroleum Services segment decreased $9.2 million to $11.8 million in 2004 compared with $21.0 million for 2003. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES LIQUIDITY The Company's ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from its need to fund working capital, to acquire, construct, or improve equipment, to make acquisitions of businesses and other investments and to service debt. Management believes that cash flows from operations and available borrowings will provide sufficient working capital to fund the Company's operating needs and to finance capital expenditures during the next twelve months. In 2005 and previous years, the Company has used Title XI and bank financing for the acquisition, construction and improvement of vessels. Of the Company's $356.1 million long-term debt as of December 31, 2005: (a) $184.7 million of the Company's outstanding indebtedness is guaranteed by the United States government pursuant to Title XI (which obligation by the United States government does not release the Company from its primary liability for the repayment of this indebtedness); and (b) $141.7 million of the Company's outstanding indebtedness has been provided by commercial banks. Management believes that funds needed for the acquisition and construction of vessels and the acquisitions of businesses will continue to be: (a) available through financings; (b) partially generated from continuing operations; and (c) partially generated by the proceeds from the regular disposition of older assets as the Company continues to modernize its fleet. The Company generated proceeds from the disposition of assets of $30.9 million in 2005. 41 Financial Condition as of December 31, 2005 As of December 31, 2005, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $33.9 million compared with $142.9 million at December 31, 2004. The Company generated $113.9 million of cash from continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2005. Net income from continuing operations before income taxes and depreciation and amortization expense provided $130.9 million of cash. As a result of the CCF accrued deposit for $41.0 million and the acquisition of Northland Fuel and Titan, which required $103.4 million in cash, the Company's working capital has decreased $119.7 million to $43.9 million at December 31, 2005 from $163.6 million at December 31, 2004. The other significant changes in working capital are increases of $30.5 million in Receivables, net, $21.1 million in Inventory and $25.7 million in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. As a result of this decrease in working capital, the Company had borrowed $10.0 million under its Revolving Credit Agreement as described below. The Company used $197.5 million of cash for investing activities from continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company has paid $103.4 million, net of cash acquired for the purchase of Northland Fuel and Titan. The Company expended $114.0 million for the construction of vessels and the purchase of equipment. Proceeds of $30.9 million were received from asset dispositions. Dry-docking costs of $8.7 million were incurred for 8 vessels during the year ended December 31, 2005. During 2005, the Company deposited a net of $.6 million of restricted cash consisting of: (a) deposits of $5.9 million for the operation of vessels that the Company manages for third parties; and (b) withdrawals of $4.2 million from the Company's capital construction fund and $1.1 million of escrowed Title XI Funds. These withdrawals were to reimburse the Company for qualifying expenditures. The Company used cash of $26.0 million in financing activities from continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2005 for the following purposes: (a) $32.8 million for scheduled principal payments of the Company's debt; (b) $1.6 million for the payment of preferred stock dividends; and (c) $1.6 million for the retirement of the Company's stock. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has borrowed $10.0 million against its Revolving Credit Agreement for working capital purposes. During the second quarter of 2005, the Company issued $1.4 million of common stock to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), the proceeds of which were funded by a $1.4 million loan by the Company to the ESOP. Net cash used by discontinued operations was $.6 million in 2005. As further discussed in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," in November 2005, the Company sold a vessel that was a component of the Company, as defined in SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, for $4.2 million. Financial Condition as of December 31, 2004 As of December 31, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $142.9 million compared with $158.8 million at December 31, 2003. The Company generated $73.0 million of cash from continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2004. The net income from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization expense and taxes provided $74.6 million of cash. The Company used $34.4 million of cash for investing activities from continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2004. Also during 2004, the Company expended $27.6 million for the construction of vessels and the purchase of equipment. Proceeds of $8.2 million were received in 2004 from asset dispositions. Dry-docking costs of $11.8 million were incurred for 4 vessels during the year ended December 31, 2004. Also during 2004, the Company was reimbursed $1.9 million in escrowed Title XI funds used to pay certain expenditures related to the construction of our ATB's that were placed in service during 2003 and 2004. In November 2004, the Company invested $1.0 million in a joint venture which is accounted for under the equity method. The Company also loaned $2.3 million to the joint venture. The Company paid $2.2 million for life insurance premiums for a director during 2004. In 2004, the Company used cash of $44.5 million in financing activities from continuing operations for: (a) $41.2 million of principal payments of the Company's debt; (b) $.8 million payments of debt issuance costs; (c) $1.6 million payment of preferred stock dividends; and (d) $.9 million retirement of the Company's 42 stock. All of the principal payments were scheduled except for the redemption of $10.4 million of Title XI bonds associated with two of the Company's vessels. Net cash used by discontinued operations was $9.9 million in 2004. In February 2004, the Company sold its Logistics operations based in Venezuela for $1.5 million. As further discussed in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," in November 2004, the Company and the charterer of a vessel entered into a termination agreement of various bareboat charters. Pursuant to the termination agreement and the bareboat charters, the Company received a payment of approximately $20.8 million in November of 2004. Simultaneously with the receipt of this payment, the Company: (a) paid 100% of the outstanding debt associated with the vessel in the amount of $10.4 million; and (b) sold the vessel to an unrelated third party for $8.8 million.

The Company sponsors the Stock Savings Plan (the "SSP"), a profit sharing plan which held 4,075 shares of our common stock at December 31, 2005, all of which are fully vested. Upon distribution of common stock from the SSP, each share of common stock contains a put option which provides the participants the option to sell their stock to the Company upon retirement, death or after a break in service at the common stock's fair value (based on a marketable minority basis), determined by an independent appraisal as of the preceding calendar year-end. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company began sponsoring the Crowley Maritime Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"). In June 2005, the ESOP was funded with a $1.4 million loan from the Company that is to be repaid by the ESOP over a ten year period plus 5% interest. The ESOP used the loan to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock from the Company. The 43 ESOP releases shares of common stock for allocation to eligible employees over the remaining term of the ESOP loan based on the amount of principal paid by the ESOP. Eligible employees of the Company are vested in their allocated shares after five years of service, beginning January 1, 2005. Each share of common stock held by the ESOP contains a put option which, upon distribution of the common stock to a participant, entitles the participant to put the common stock to the Company for the fair value, as defined by the ESOP. The common stock of both the SSP and ESOP are classified as redeemable common stock in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets with a balance of $8.2 million at December 31, 2005. Since the eligible employees can put their shares to the Company, at times defined by the SSP and ESOP, the Company is unable to determine when it will be obligated to fund the put of these shares. Because many of the tugs and barges and our tankers and integrated tug barge units used in Petroleum Services are more than two-thirds through their estimated useful lives, management plans to continue its efforts to modernize the Company's fleet of vessels. Also, as discussed in Government Regulations under "Item 1. Business," federal law and regulations currently require the phase-out of single hull oil barges and of single hull tankers. This requires several single hull oil barges, tankers and integrated tug/barge units to be subject to retirement within the next ten years. Accordingly, the Company is consulting with its customers and developing plans, where justified by business prospects, either to refurbish the existing fleet of tugs, barges and tankers, thereby extending their useful lives, or to purchase used equipment or build new equipment which complies with current federal law and regulations. During 2004 and 2005, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of 6 ATBs at an aggregate cost of approximately $276.5 million (including the cost of owner-furnished equipment). The units are currently under construction and two units are expected to be delivered during each of 2006, 2007 and 2008. The Company is currently paying for the construction of these vessels with available working capital. The Company is currently evaluating various options for the financing of these vessels. For information concerning our debt, including our revolving credit agreement and certain borrowings which we made in 2005, see Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8.

The Company has estimated its cost of remediation to be $3.9 million at December 31, 2005. The estimated payments for this liability is as follows:

For more information on environmental costs, see Government Regulation in "Item 1. Business" and Notes 1 and 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters at December 31, 2005, cannot be ascertained. See Note 21 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS As of December 31, 2005, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Item 303(a)(4) of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K. 44 RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS The Company is in compliance with all of the restrictive covenants in its leasing and financing arrangements. For information concerning our restrictive covenants see Notes 14 and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." TRANSACTIONS WITH SPECIAL PURPOSE ENTITY At December 31, 2005, the Company did not have any obligation arising out of a variable interest, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. During 2003, the Company consolidated a variable interest entity whose primary asset was subsequently sold in 2004. For additional discussion of the variable interest entity, refer to Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." EFFECTS OF INFLATION The Company does not consider inflation to be a significant risk to the cost of doing business currently or in the foreseeable future. Inflation had a significant impact on our fuel sales operations in our Petroleum Services segment, while our Liner Services, Logistics Services and Marine Services segments were moderately impacted by fuel price inflation. Inflation has had a moderate impact on all our segments on other operating expenses, including dry-docking expenses and corporate overhead. Refer to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for a discussion of the risks related to fluctuation in fuel prices and "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS For a complete discussion of new accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. INTEREST RATE RISK The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates which may adversely affect the results of our operations, financial condition and cash flows. The Company's policy is not to use financial instruments for trading purposes or other speculative purposes. A discussion of the Company's credit risk and the fair value of financial instruments is included in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." The Company's debt is primarily in fixed interest rate instruments. While the fair value of these debt instruments will vary with changes in interest rates, the Company has fixed most of its cash flow requirements and its operations are not significantly impacted by interest rate fluctuations. The Company leases certain equipment under operating leases which are subject to interest rate risk. Payments under these leases are adjusted based on a variable interest rate. At the end of the lease term, the Company may purchase the equipment by paying the amount remaining under the lease, sell the equipment and repay an amount remaining under the lease, or renegotiate the lease to extend the term. If the Company were to purchase the equipment, the Company would be at risk that the fair value of the equipment may be less than the amount required to purchase it. 45 The following table provides information about the Company's non-trading financial instruments sensitive to changes in interest rates at December 31, 2005. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and for operating leases the table presents future minimum lease payments. For fixed rate debt obligations, the interest rates reflect the corresponding weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. For variable rate debt and lease obligations, the interest rates are based on the weighted average interest rate swaps to fix the variable rate obligations at the reporting date.

COMMODITY PRICES Our commodity price risk associated with the market price for oil is not considered to be material. Fuel purchased by our Petroleum Services segment for resale is purchased at market price and resold at market price plus a fixed margin. FOREIGN CURRENCY RISKS While substantial amounts of our revenues are derived from our foreign operations, substantially all of such business is denominated in United States dollars. In addition, we attempt to effect as many purchases outside the United States as we can in United States dollars. Therefore, we have only minimal exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. We do not hedge against foreign currency risks. 46 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

47 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Crowley Maritime Corporation Oakland, California We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crowley Maritime Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Table of Contents at "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of Crowley Maritime Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

The Company operates through four reporting segments: Liner Services, Logistics Services, Marine Services and Petroleum Services. See Note 23 for further information. REORGANIZATION Effective July 1, 2005, the Company implemented a corporate reorganization. As a result of this reorganization, the Company reevaluated its operating segments and reporting segments and retroactively changed them to be aligned with the Company's new structure. The Company is now organized and managed principally by means of five operating segments: Puerto Rico and Caribbean Liner Services, Latin America Liner Services, Logistics Services, Marine Services and Petroleum Services. The Company has aggregated the Puerto Rico and Caribbean Liner Services and Latin America Liner Services into one reportable segment called Liner Services. Refer to Note 23 for further discussion of the Company's segments. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crowley Maritime Corporation and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company has joint ventures that it maintains more than a 50% ownership interest in and maintains effective control over their operations. Based on this, the Company consolidates these joint ventures and records minority interests for the partners' ownership interests in the joint ventures. RELATED PARTY Thomas B. Crowley, Jr., President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board of Directors and principal stockholder, has the ability to control operations through his beneficial ownership of a majority of the Company's voting power. RECLASSIFICATION Certain items in prior years' consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. As discussed in Note 4, the Company has reported discontinued operations and reclassified amounts related to those discontinued operations for all periods presented. As discussed in Note 19, the Company reclassified its maximum cash obligation related to its stock savings plan from equity to equity mezzanine. As discussed in Note 23, effective July 1, 2005, the Company completed a reorganization which affected the Company's reportable segments. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid securities, with original maturities of three months or less, which are primarily invested in overnight repurchase agreements to be cash equivalents. These securities are stated at cost which approximates fair value. 53 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) INVENTORY Resale fuel inventories are stated at lower of cost or market with cost determined on the average cost method. Provisions for slow moving inventory are based on management's analysis of inventory levels and future usage. GOODWILL Goodwill represents the costs of acquired companies in excess of the fair value of their net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company performs an annual test of goodwill unless an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the fair value of goodwill has been reduced below its carrying amount. The Company's evaluation of impairment is based on estimated discounted cash flows of the investment for which the goodwill is related. INTANGIBLES Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the related financing to Interest Expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Non-compete agreements and customer lists are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated lives to Depreciation and Amortization Expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company evaluates its non-compete agreements and customer lists for impairment on an annual basis or when an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the fair value of the intangible has been reduced below its carrying amount. The Company's evaluation of impairment is based on estimated discounted cash flows of the investment to which the intangible is related. DRY-DOCKING Dry-docking costs for major vessels are deferred and amortized over the estimated period between dry-dockings. Vessel dry-docking costs for other owned vessels are not individually significant and are expensed as incurred as repairs and maintenance expense. The types of material costs that are incurred for dry-docking include compliance with regulatory and vessel classification inspection requirements, blastings and coatings of steel and steel replacement. Mobilization costs to and from the dry-dock location are expensed as incurred. Dry-docking inspections are required generally every two and a half years or twice every five years for regulatory purposes to demonstrate that a vessel meets standards established by the U.S. Coast Guard and the American Bureau of Shipping. Depreciation and Amortization Expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations includes amortization expense of the dry-docking costs of $18,662, $17,356 and $8,912 in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Included in Other Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets are deferred dry-docking costs of $13,126 and $23,100 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. ASSETS CONTAINED IN A RABBI TRUST Assets contained in a rabbi trust consist of investments in various funds made by eligible individuals as part of the Company's deferred compensation plan, see Note 19. These investments are stated at aggregate fair value, are restricted and have been placed in a rabbi trust whereby the amounts are irrevocably set aside to fund the Company's obligations under the deferred compensation plan. The Company classifies these assets as trading securities and accounts for them in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company has classified 54 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) $1,745 and $654 as Prepaid Assets, for the current portion of deferred compensation and $9,926 and $9,015 as Other Assets for the long-term portion of deferred compensation, respectively. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at cost. Renewals and refurbishments which extend asset useful lives are capitalized while normal repair and maintenance expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: floating equipment (15 to 25 years); other operating equipment (5 to 20 years); and buildings (5 to 25 years). Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease term. Interest is capitalized in conjunction with the Company's construction and refurbishment of vessels. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of a long-lived asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and its fair value. Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the asset's carrying amount. INTERNAL USE SOFTWARE Costs related to the development of internal use software other than those incurred during the application development stage are expensed as incurred. Costs considered to be in the application development stage include design, coding, installation of hardware and testing. Costs capitalized during this stage include: external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining the software; payroll and payroll-related costs for employees directly associated with the project; and interest costs incurred during development. Costs of $568 and $333 were capitalized to property and equipment in 2005 and 2003, respectively. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company's accounting policies for revenue recognition are predicated on the type of service provided. The common carrier services included in Liner Services are recognized on the proportional performance basis over each voyage by load and discharge port. Revenue from the Company's Logistics Services, a portion of the revenue generated by Marine Services and fuel sales of the Petroleum Services are recognized as services are provided. Revenues from Petroleum Services, except fuel sales, and a portion of Marine Services are recognized on the proportional performance basis over the length of the contract. Estimated losses are provided at the time such losses become evident. Costs related to the shipment of goods under long-term contracts are expensed as incurred. Marine Services enters into certain marine salvage contracts on Lloyd's Standard Form of Salvage ("LOF"). The Company recognizes costs as expenses on these LOF contracts are incurred. Revenue is recognized to the extent of costs incurred in order to appropriately match revenues with costs, provided the Company has earned the revenue. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for certain income and expense items for financial reporting differently than for income tax purposes. The deferred tax liabilities or assets are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying values and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities 55 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) are determined based on current enacted tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. A valuation allowance would be recorded if, based on the weight of available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a recorded deferred tax asset would not be realized in future periods. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class N Common Stock outstanding during each year. Shares issued during the year and shares reacquired during the year are weighted for the portion of the year that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares, which are Preferred Class A Convertible Stock, that were outstanding during the period. INSURANCE The Company is self-insured for marine, workers compensation, protection and indemnity, liability, cargo and asbestos coverages, subject to certain individual and aggregate stop-loss limits. The Company records its self-insurance liability using an actuarial methodology based on claims filed, historical development factors and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The estimates used by management are based on the Company's historical experience as well as current facts and circumstances including those for salvage and subrogation reserves. Reinsurance is obtained to cover losses in excess of certain limits. Claims receivables are recorded when it is determined that it is probable the costs of the insured events are recoverable from the insurance company. The determinations of such estimates and the establishment of the self-insurance reserves are continually reviewed and updated. Any adjustments resulting from these reviews are reflected in current operations. The Company discounted its workers compensation protection and indemnity, liability and cargo reserves at the risk-free rate of 4.36% and 3.61% as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS Environmental costs represent reclamation costs for which the Company has determined it is responsible to remediate. Environmental expenditures for reclamation costs that benefit future periods are capitalized. Expenditures that relate to remediating an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Undiscounted liabilities are recorded when the Company's responsibility for environmental remedial efforts is deemed probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The ultimate future environmental costs, however, will depend on the extent of contamination of property and the Company's share of remediation responsibility. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION For non-U.S. subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, the results of operations are translated from local currencies into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during each period. Assets and liabilities are translated using exchange rates at the end of each period. Translation gains and losses on assets and liabilities are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity as other comprehensive income (loss) and are not included in the determination of net income (loss). DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company does not invest in derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. From time to time, as part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as rate lock agreements, to manage exposures to interest rate risk. These instruments are accounted for as cash flow 56 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) hedges with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). The amount paid by the Company on maturity of a rate lock agreement is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense over the term of the underlying debt obligation. The Company recognized $621, $595 and $567 as an adjustment to Interest Expense in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, redeemable common stock, stockholders' equity, revenues, expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 47 ("FIN 47"), Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005; however, earlier application is permitted. In March 2005, the FASB also issued Interpretation No. 46(R)-5 ("FIN 46(R)-5"), Implicit Variable Interests under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". FIN 46(R)-5 is effective for the first reporting period beginning after March 3, 2005; however, earlier application is permitted for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company has adopted FIN 47 and FIN 46(R)-5 during 2005 and will adopt SFAS No. 154 January 1, 2006. The adoption of these standards did not or will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. NOTE 2 -- ACQUISITIONS OF BUSINESSES 2005 ACQUISITIONS On September 6, 2005, the Company acquired from Northland Fuel LLC, all of the stock of Service Oil and Gas, Inc. and certain assets and liabilities of Yukon Fuel Company, Northland Vessel Leasing Company LLC, and Yutana Barge Lines (collectively "Northland Fuel"). Northland Fuel operates a refined products distribution business in Alaska. The acquisition of Northland Fuel complements the Company's existing business engaged in the transportation, distribution and sale of fuel in Alaska and has been included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations, within the Petroleum Services segment, commencing September 6, 2005. The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations". The purchase price, including working capital for Northland Fuel, was $91,610, net of $1,581 cash acquired. The purchase price was paid with cash. The working capital component of the purchase price is subject to adjustment as defined by the purchase agreement. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has accrued a receivable of $828 from the seller as the estimated working capital due. 57 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) The assets and liabilities have been recorded at estimated fair value as determined by the Company's management based on information currently available. The Company has received independent appraisals of the fair values of the acquired property and equipment. The Company is currently in the process of appraising the identified intangibles assets which the Company expects to consist of customer lists. The Company expects that the final appraisals for identified intangibles assets will be received before the end of the third quarter of 2006. The Company is also in the process of determining if any contingencies exist as of the purchase date. It is expected that the identification of contingencies, such as environmental contingencies, will not be completed until the second or third quarter of 2006 due to weather conditions in Alaska. Accordingly, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values of intangible assets and contingencies identified. As a result of the purchase price paid and the assignment of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company has recorded goodwill and other intangibles of $13,483 related to this acquisition. It is expected that the incremental amortization adjustment that results from the final intangible appraisals will not have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. On October 1, 2005, the Company acquired all of the membership interest of Titan Maritime LLC, and certain assets of Titan Maritime Industries, Inc., Karlissa Associates and Marine Equipment Corp. (collectively "Titan"), a worldwide marine salvage and marine wreck removal business. The acquisition of Titan expands the Company's marine salvage and marine wreck removal business domestically and into international markets. The operations of Titan have been included in the Company's consolidated statement of operations commencing October 1, 2005 and are reported under the Marine Services segment. The purchase price of $17,707, net of $1,619 cash acquired, is comprised of $12,500 cash, a $5,000 promissory note and a working capital payable to the sellers of $1,784. The promissory note is payable in five annual installments of $1,000 plus interest at the Citibank prime interest rate. The interest rate (6.75% on December 31, 2005) is adjusted annually on October 1. The working capital purchased is subject to adjustment for one year based on actual revenues earned and expenses paid. In accordance with the purchase agreement, the sellers shall annually earn 35% of calculated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") between $1,000 and $3,000 and shall earn 20% of calculated EBITDA greater than $3,000 for five years. The earn-out is considered contingent purchase price and will be accounted for as purchase price when earned. The Company has not completed the process of allocating the purchase price. The assets and liabilities of Titan have been recorded at fair value as determined by the Company's management based on information currently available. The Company has received independent appraisals of the fair values of vessels acquired. The Company is currently in the process of appraising the other property and equipment acquired and identified intangibles, which the Company expects to consist of non-compete agreements. The Company expects to receive the final appraisals before the end of the third quarter of 2006. Accordingly, the allocation of the purchase price is subject to revision based on the final determination of the fair value of assets and intangibles acquired. As a result of the purchase price paid and the assignment of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company has recorded goodwill and other intangibles of $3,758 related to this acquisition. It is expected that the incremental depreciation and amortization adjustment that results from the final appraisals will not have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. 58 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) 2003 ACQUISITION In July 2003, the Company purchased the stock of a transportation management company specializing in the apparel industry for $3,357, subject to adjustment for certain working capital adjustments and payments based on earnings. This acquisition is included in our Logistics Services segment. The purchase price of the acquisitions described above consisted of the following:

In December 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to assume ownership of the 25% minority interest in a joint venture which was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The Company received cash of approximately $3,234 and recorded fair value in excess of the cost of the acquired net assets, approximately $5,944, as a reduction to the fair value of vessels, the joint venture's only long-term assets. The following unaudited pro forma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, are presented as if the above acquisitions and sales had been completed on January 1, 2003. The pro forma results include estimates and assumptions which management believes are reasonable. However, pro forma results do not include any anticipated cost savings or other effects of the planned integration of the Company and the above acquisitions, and are not necessarily indicative of the results which would have occurred if the business combinations had been in effect on the dates indicated, or which may result in the future.

59 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) NOTE 3 -- VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY In January 1997, Marine Transport Corporation ("MTC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, arranged a transaction with an unconsolidated Variable Interest Entity (the "VIE") by which MTC: (a) sold a vessel to the VIE; (b) time chartered the vessel back from the VIE; and (c) time chartered the vessel to a third party. As consideration for the sale of the vessel, MTC received from the VIE a total of: (a) approximately $40,000 in cash; and (b) a note receivable for $9,000. After considering certain characteristics of the note receivable, it was subsequently recorded at its estimated net realizable value of $3,000. In August of 1999, MTC negotiated the termination of the time charters and arranged a series of bareboat charters for the vessel with periods that extend through November 2006. In January of 2000, MTC received approximately $25,000 from the VIE after the VIE borrowed certain additional amounts from its lenders. Of the approximately $25,000, which was accounted for as debt, $14,395 was outstanding at December 31, 2002. Prior to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (the "Interpretation"), the Company followed: (a) EITF 90-15, Impact of Nonsubstantive Lessors, Residual Value Guarantees, and Other Provisions in Leasing Transactions; and (b) EITF 96-21, Implementation Issues in Accounting for Leasing Transactions Involving Special-Purpose Entities in determining not to consolidate the VIE. In 1997, an unrelated third party (the "Foundation") capitalized the VIE with a substantive equity payment of $1,500, which represented more than 3% of the total funding of the VIE, in exchange for the beneficial interests in the VIE. The Interpretation clarified the accounting treatment of certain entities in which equity investors do not have: (a) the characteristics of a controlling financial interest; or (b) sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The Company adopted the Interpretation and determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and consolidated the VIE effective January 1, 2003. The Company determined that the total third party equity investment in the VIE at risk, as defined in paragraph 5 of the Interpretation, is $0. While the Foundation capitalized the VIE with a substantive equity payment during 1997, the $1,500 used for that payment was donated to the Foundation by MTC just before it was invested by the Foundation in the VIE. Because the $1,500 was donated to the Foundation, the Company concluded that the Foundation does not, according to the Interpretation, have any equity investment at risk. As a result of recording the assets and liabilities of the VIE at their fair value, a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $420, net of a $257 deferred tax benefit, ($3.10 basic earnings per common share and $2.59 diluted earnings per common share) was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during 2003. Prior year consolidated financial statements were not restated as a result of the consolidation of the VIE. In June 2004, the Company exercised an option to purchase the vessel from the VIE for consideration consisting of: (i) a cash payment in the amount of $500; and (ii) cancellation of a note (which note had been eliminated in consolidating the VIE). Simultaneously with the exercise of the option: (a) the VIE assigned its remaining outstanding debt in the amount of $15,347 to the Company and the Company assumed such outstanding debt; (b) the Company assumed the obligations of the VIE under two bareboat charters for the vessel; and (c) an unrelated third party that capitalized the VIE in 1997 received $2,000 as a return of capital. At the request of the charterer of the vessel, the Company entered into a termination agreement in November of 2004 which, among other things, sets forth the terms and conditions by which: (a) the bareboat charters would be terminated prior to their expiration dates; and (b) the Company would receive a payment equal to the present value of the charter hire payments that, but for the termination, would have been made 60 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) between the date of the termination and November 16, 2006, the scheduled expiration date of the charters. Pursuant to the termination agreement and the bareboat charters, the Company received a payment of approximately $20,765 in November of 2004. Simultaneously with the receipt of this payment, the Company: (a) paid the outstanding debt associated with the vessel in the amount of $10,430; and (b) sold the vessel for proceeds of $8,776 to an unrelated third party at a gain of approximately $266. This vessel represented a component of the Company whose operations and cash flows are eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company, as defined in SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, and the Company will not have significant continuing involvement in the operations of the vessel after it was disposed. Therefore, the vessel and its related operations, including the operations of the VIE, have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations and prior years' consolidated financial statements have been restated. See Note 4 of the Company's consolidated financial statements for a summary of the Company's discontinued operations. NOTE 4 -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In September 2005, the management of the Company approved the disposal of a vessel and as a result performed an impairment test on the recoverability of the vessel in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, at September 30, 2005. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $5,596 as a result of this evaluation. The vessel represents a component of the Company whose operations and cash flows were eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as defined by SFAS No. 144. In October 2005, the Company met all of the requirements to account for the disposal of the vessel as discontinued operations; accordingly, the operations and impairment charge of the vessel were reclassified as discontinued operations beginning in the fourth quarter of 2005 and prior year consolidated financial statements have been restated. In November 2005, the vessel was sold for $4,227, resulting in a gain on disposal of $215. As discussed in Note 3, another vessel representing a component of the Company was disposed of in November 2004. In December 2003, the Company approved a plan to sell the Venezuelan operations of its Logistics Services segment. In February 2004, the Company sold its Venezuelan Logistics operations for $1,506. On April 1, 1999, the Company adopted a plan to sell its South America trade lanes, river barging operations, related subsidiaries, vessels and certain other assets. In conjunction with the sale, the Company adopted a strategy to exit from several other South America operations. This was treated as discontinued operations in accordance with APB 30, Reporting the Results of Operations -- Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. As a result of a claims review performed quarterly, the Company adjusted its net liabilities and recorded expenses of $42 and income of $866 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, related to its South America discontinued operations. Furthermore, in the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company recorded income of $4,021 which represented the reversal of accrued liabilities for contingencies related to the return of equipment to the lessor. These liabilities were no longer appropriate as the Company reached an agreement in principle to sell operating equipment in the first quarter of 2005 to the party currently subleasing the operating equipment. 61 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) The above operations have been reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Discontinued operations for the years ended December 31 are summarized as follows:

NOTE 5 -- HURRICANE KATRINA On August 29, 2005 Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast of the United States causing damage to a terminal in Gulfport, Mississippi leased by the Company's Latin America Liner Service and the destruction of approximately 1,200 pieces of leased and owned equipment. In addition, there have been certain general liability and cargo claims filed against the Company directly related to the storm. Furthermore, a barge owned by the Company and docked in Mobile, Alabama was washed ashore and is considered a constructive total loss. As a result of this event, the Company has recorded net estimated losses of $1,200 as Operating Expense in its Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. These losses are net of estimated insurance proceeds of $1,245. Estimated insurance proceeds have been recorded up to the amount of losses incurred on the owned and leased equipment. As of December 31, 2005, the Company has recorded $3,042 of insurance claims payable and $6,985 of receivables from reinsurers arising from this event. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of Hurricane Katrina and updates its estimates as facts and circumstances continue to develop. NOTE 6 -- RESTRICTED CASH At December 31, 2005, the Company has cash and cash equivalents recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets in the amount of $5,917 restricted for the operation of certain vessels which the Company manages for unrelated third parties. 62 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) NOTE 7 -- RECEIVABLES, NET Receivables, net consist of the following at December 31, 2005 and 2004:

Included in trade receivables at December 31, 2005 is a receivable balance of $191 from a retail gas station in Alaska which is owned by an employee of the Company. The Company recorded $1,135 in Fuel Sales during 2005 related to this retail gas station. Other receivables principally include insurance claims receivable from third party reinsurance companies and rebillable charges to customers for vessel management and other services. NOTE 8 -- RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTY The Company has entered into Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreements ("Agreements") with the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board, and principal stockholder (the "Employee") whereby the Company paid the premiums on twelve life insurance policies ("Policies") of the Employee and a related Director prior to 2003. In December 2003, the Company and the Employee reached a settlement agreement whereby three of the Policies were cancelled and the Employee reimbursed the Company $7,508 which represented the total amount of net premiums paid by the Company on those Policies. In order to reimburse the Company, the Employee obtained a personal loan. The Company is not obligated to pay this loan and has not guaranteed repayment of this loan. However, the Company has agreed to reimburse the Employee for the interest on the loan, which is accounted for as compensation expense. Upon death of the insureds, the Company will receive the total paid for premiums under the remaining nine Policies, net of certain payments made by or on behalf of the Employee. If the Company and the Employee terminate the Agreements, the Company will be paid an amount equal to the lesser of the Policy cash surrender value or the amounts of premiums paid by the Company reduced by certain payments made by or on behalf of the Employee. The Company has accounted for this receivable with a balance of $11,540 and $11,177 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, at the lower of the net premium payments made or the cash surrender value of the Policies. The receivable is non-interest bearing and is stated at the amount the Company is entitled to receive under the Agreement.

CCF cash and marketable securities are restricted to provide for the replacement of vessels, additional vessels, or improvement of vessels within strict guidelines established by the U.S. Maritime Administration for use of these funds. Deposits to the CCF are considered tax deductions in the year designated; however, they are taxable, with interest payable from the year of deposit, if withdrawn for general corporate purposes or other non-qualified purposes, or upon termination of the agreement. Qualified withdrawals for investments in vessels and certain related equipment do not give rise to a current tax liability, but reduce the depreciable bases of the vessels or other assets for income tax purposes. At December 31, 2005, the Company has designated $41,000 of qualified earnings as "accrued deposits" to its CCF. Such accrued deposits are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a reduction of current assets. Furthermore, the Company has reduced its current tax liability and increased its deferred tax liability at December 31, 2005 for the effects of this accrued deposit. NOTE 13 -- PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET Property and equipment, net consists of the following at December 31, 2005 and 2004:

Restricted cash and cash equivalents included in property and equipment represent funds for the future purchase of property and equipment currently restricted by lenders. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment was $44,814, $43,976 and $48,207 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset. Interest of $2,478, $335 and $627 was capitalized in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company has certain vessels it has designated as surplus and has implemented a plan to dispose of them. The Company annually evaluates the recoverability of its carrying value of these vessels and as a result recorded a write down in its Marine Services Segment of $1,206 in 2004. The net book value of these vessels at December 31, 2005 and 2004 is $1,516 and $10,252, respectively. 65 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) NOTE 14 -- LEASES AND LEASE COMMITMENTS The Company leases and subleases vessels on both a time charter and bareboat charter basis.

As discussed in Note 12 above, the Company has restricted CCF funds. Taxes on CCF deposits and earnings made prior to January 1, 1993 are being recognized over the remaining lives of the assets purchased with qualified CCF withdrawals. At December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the difference between the book carrying values and the tax bases of assets as a result of these past deposits for which the Company has not provided taxes, is $12,455, $14,338 and $16,311, respectively. NOTE 17 -- FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments have been determined by the Company using available market information and valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. In addition, costs of refinancing and/or prepayment penalties have not been considered. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amount. The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are set forth below: - Cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and restricted cash -- The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions and, by policy, limits the 69 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for these items approximate fair value at December 31, 2005 and 2004. - Trade receivables -- Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base, and their dispersion across many diverse industries and geographies. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for trade receivables approximate fair value at December 31, 2005 and 2004. - Long-term debt -- Valuations for long-term debt are determined based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities. At December 31, 2005, the estimated fair value of the Company's debt, with a carrying value of $356,112 is $363,189. At December 31, 2004, the estimated fair value of the Company's debt, with a carrying value of $372,373 is $381,784. NOTE 18 -- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY PREFERRED STOCK Dividends on preferred class A convertible stock are cumulative at 5% per annum, payable annually on July 1st. Cumulative dividends in arrears bear interest at a rate determined by the Board of Directors between 8% and 12%, inclusive, compounded annually. There are no dividends in arrears at December 31, 2005. These shares, together with unpaid cumulative dividends and interest, if any, are convertible to common stock at a conversion price of $1,200 per share, subject to specified anti-dilution adjustments. Shares may be redeemed, at the Company's option, for $100 per share plus unpaid cumulative dividends and interest. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE The computations of the numerator and denominator for calculating basic and diluted earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:

The plans listed below are the Company-sponsored plans for which the non-union salaried and administrative employees are eligible to participant. CROWLEY RETIREMENT INCOME SYSTEM PLAN The Company sponsors the Crowley Retirement Income System Plan (the "CRISP"). The CRISP is a profit sharing plan designed to provide eligible employees with retirement benefits. The Company contributes 3% of eligible earnings to participants' accounts and matches 50% of employee contributions up to 6%. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN The Company has a deferred compensation plan for which the participants and annual contributions, if any, are determined by the Compensation Committee or the Executive Compensation Subcommittee. For each year's contribution, participants become fully vested after five years, upon attaining age 65, upon death, or other financial criteria as established by the Compensation Committee or the Executive Compensation Subcommittee. Funds for each year's contribution may be distributed, at the participant's election, upon becoming 100% vested, at attainment of age 65 or upon retirement. If the participant dies before receiving the distribution of his or her account, such account will be distributed to his or her beneficiary in a lump sum cash payment as soon as practicable after the participant's death. Contributions are placed in an irrevocable rabbi trust available only to the participants and the Company's creditors. RETIREMENT STOCK PLAN The Company sponsors the Crowley Maritime Corporation Retirement Stock Plan ("RSP"). Contributions to the RSP are made by the Company based on an annual determination made by the Board of Directors. If stock is contributed, the stock is valued at the stock's non-marketable minority interest fair value, as determined by an independent appraisal. No contributions were made during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. At December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the plan held 8,579, 9,063 and 9,372 shares of common stock, respectively. All participant accounts are fully vested. Distribution of shares allocated to RSP participants are made as soon as practicable following the participant's death, disability retirement, termination of Company employment after attainment of age 65 or termination of employment if the participants account balance is less than one share. All other vested participants are eligible for distribution on the earlier of: (a) the third calendar quarter of the third plan year that follows the plan year in which the participant terminates Company employment; or (b) the attainment of age 65. All distributions to a participant are in the form of a single, lump sum distribution of whole shares of common stock. Upon the date of distribution and for the immediately succeeding ten days, such shares of Company stock shall be subject to the Company's right to 71 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) repurchase such shares for cash equal to their fair value, (based on a non-marketable minority basis) determined by an independent appraisal as of the preceding calendar year-end. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN Effective January 1, 2005, the Company is sponsoring the Crowley Maritime Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") as a vehicle to enable participants to acquire stock ownership interests in the Company without requiring any cash outlay, reduction in pay or other personal investment on the part of the participant. Eligible employees of the Company, as defined by the ESOP, who work at least 22 Weeks of Service during a Plan Year and are employed as of December 31, or have terminated employee status during the Plan Year due to death, disability or retirement are eligible for allocation of shares. In June 2005, the ESOP was funded by a $1,414 loan (the "ESOP Loan") from the Company that bears interest at 5.0% per annum. The ESOP Loan was used to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock from the Company. The ESOP Loan will be repaid over a ten-year term from the Company's plan contributions. The shares of common stock purchased with the ESOP Loan are pledged as collateral for the debt until the shares are released for allocation to eligible employees. The ESOP will release shares of common stock for allocation to eligible employees over the remaining term of the ESOP Loan based on the amount of principal paid by the ESOP. Eligible Employees are vested in allocated shares in 5 years of service after January 1, 2005. Shares pledged as collateral (unallocated shares) are reported in "Unearned ESOP Common Stock" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As shares are committed to be released, the Company records compensation expense equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock. Because the Company's stock is not actively traded on any exchange, its fair value is determined annually by an independent appraisal based on a non-marketable minority interest basis. The independent appraisal is obtained during the second quarter of each year. The shares released are treated as outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share. The Company has recognized $147 of compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2005, respectively, based upon the shares committed to be released. Each share of common stock held by the ESOP contains a put option which, upon distribution of the common stock to a participant, entitles the participant to put the common stock to the Company for the fair value, as defined by the ESOP. Therefore, the Company has classified the maximum cash obligation of the common stock held by the ESOP as mezzanine equity under the caption "redeemable common stock" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2005, the ESOP held the following shares: ESOP shares committed to be released........................ 104 Unearned ESOP shares........................................ 896 ------ Total shares held by ESOP................................... 1,000 ====== Fair value of unearned ESOP shares.......................... $1,267
STOCK SAVINGS PLAN The Company sponsors the Stock Savings Plan (the "SSP"), a profit sharing plan which holds 4,075 shares of the Company's common stock at December 31, 2005, all of which are fully released and vested. Upon distribution of common stock from the SSP, each share of common stock contains a put option which provides the participants with the option to sell their stock to the Company upon retirement, death or 72 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) after a break in service for the common stock's fair value (based on a marketable minority basis) determined by an independent appraisal as of the preceding calendar year-end. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company reclassified the maximum cash obligation at December 31, 2004 of the SSP stock to "Redeemable Common Stock" included in mezzanine equity from "Stockholders' Equity" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force 89-11, Sponsor's Balance Sheet Classification of Capital Stock with a Put Option Held by an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The amount reclassified at December 31, 2004 was $8,700. The maximum cash obligation at December 31, 2005 of the SSP stock is $8,036. The Company has evaluated the impact of this reclassification on its basic and diluted earnings per common share in its previously issued audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited quarterly financial statements. The Company determined the effect of this reclassification was not material to any prior periods and therefore, has not restated any basic and diluted earnings per common share in its audited annual and unaudited quarterly financial statements for prior periods. NOTE 20 -- ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS The Company's estimates for environmental remediation costs include labor costs, equipment rental, engineering, consulting fees and material costs. Estimates for environmental remediation are based on the phase of the remedial action, the type of technology being used, the experience of the type of technology used and on the environmental consultant's experience or personal experience. Other costs, such as legal and regulatory oversight, are based on experience with similar remedial projects in the same geographic region as the site in question. The recorded liabilities for the estimated future environmental costs at December 31, 2005 and 2004 are approximately $3,874 and $4,399, respectively. The estimated annual payments for future environmental costs as of December 31, 2005 are as follows: 2006........................................................ $ 905 2007........................................................ 849 2008........................................................ 424 2009........................................................ 414 2010........................................................ 162 Thereafter.................................................. 1,120 ------ $3,874 ======
The Company has classified $905 as Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities and $2,969 as Other Liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2005. The actual provision for environmental costs has not differed materially from the amounts recorded. During 2003 and 2002, the Company reached agreements with its insurance underwriters to settle all costs incurred to date and any future costs related to environmental remediation resulting from occurrences prior to 1986. The amounts of the settlements were $1,000 and $5,324, in 2003 and 2002, respectively, net of unrecoverable amounts due to insolvency of certain underwriters. Both of these settlements were collected during 2003. The Company recognized $1,000 and $2,229 as a reduction to claims expense in 2003 and 2002, respectively. 73 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) NOTE 21 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES GENERAL LITIGATION In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, lawsuits and other claims. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters at December 31, 2005, cannot be ascertained. While these matters could affect the Company's operating results for any one quarter when resolved in future periods and while there can be no assurance with respect thereto, management believes, with the advice of outside legal counsel, that after final disposition, any monetary liability or financial impact to the Company from these matters (except as otherwise disclosed below) would not be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. LITIGATION INVOLVING DIRECTORS A purported class action and derivative complaint was filed on November 30, 2004, in the Court of Chancery (the "Court") in the State of Delaware against the Company and its Board of Directors alleging breaches of the fiduciary duties owed by the director defendants to the Company and its stockholders. Among other things, the complaint alleges that the defendants have pursued a corporate policy of entrenching the Company's controlling stockholder, Thomas B. Crowley, Jr., and certain members of the Crowley family by allegedly expending corporate funds improperly. The plaintiffs seek damages and other relief. On February 25, 2005, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On September 30, 2005, the Court held a hearing and requested additional briefing on several issues from the plaintiff and the Company. That motion was briefed and argued on September 30, 2005. At oral argument, the plaintiffs proposed amending their complaint. On December 27, 2005, plaintiffs formally moved for leave to amend their complaint, and another purported stockholder filed a motion to intervene in the action. On January 19, 2006, the Court ordered that defendants' motion to dismiss is stayed pending resolution of the motion to amend and motion to intervene. Defendants' opposition briefs to the motion to amend and motion to intervene were filed February 27, 2006. The Company believes that there are legal and factual defenses to these claims and intends to defend this action vigorously. The Company believes that an adverse outcome of this case would not have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. ASBESTOS LITIGATION The Company is currently named as a defendant with other shipowners and numerous other defendants with respect to approximately 16,000 maritime asbestos cases and other toxic tort cases, most of which were filed in the Federal Courts in Cleveland, Ohio and Detroit, Michigan. Each of these cases, filed on behalf of a seaman or his personal representative, alleges injury or illness based upon exposure to asbestos or other toxic substances and sets forth a claim based upon the theory of negligence under the Jones Act and on the theory of unseaworthiness under the General Maritime Law. Pursuant to an order issued by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation dated July 29, 1991, all Ohio and Michigan cases ("the Multidistrict Litigation") were transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for pretrial processing. On May 1, 1996, the cases were dismissed subject to reinstatement in the future. At present, it is not known when or how long the process will require. Approximately 31 of the Ohio and Michigan claims which name one or more Company entities as defendants have been reinstated, but the plaintiffs' attorneys are not actively pursuing the cases. Although nine years have passed since the dismissal, it is not known whether a plan can be developed that will result in settlement of the cases. If not settled, upon reinstatement, the cases should be remanded to the Ohio and Michigan Federal Courts. 74 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) In addition, the Company is a defendant with others in approximately 88 asbestosis or other toxic cases pending in jurisdictions other than the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. These other jurisdictions include state and federal courts located in Northern California, Oregon, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Maryland and New York. These cases contain allegations of injury similar to those alleged in the Multidistrict Litigation cases. Substantially all of the cases described above, as with other asbestos and toxic tort cases in which the Company has been named as a party, not only involve numerous named defendants, but also generally do not allege specific monetary damages beyond the jurisdictional requirement. If specific damages are sought, they would apply in various amounts against various defendants. In many claims that have been asserted against the Company, the plaintiffs have been unable to establish any causal relationship to the Company. In addition, in many asbestos cases, the plaintiffs have been unable to demonstrate that they have suffered any injury or compensable loss that resulted from asbestos exposure or that alleged exposure was related to the Company. The Company has insurance coverage that may reimburse it for a substantial portion of: (a) the costs incurred defending against asbestos claims; and (b) the amounts the Company pays to settle claims or honor judgments by courts. The coverage is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies over a period of many years. The amount of insurance coverage depends on the nature of the alleged exposure to asbestos, the specific subsidiary against which an asbestos claim is asserted and the terms and conditions of the specific policy. At December 31, 2005, the Company has accrued $2,783 as its best estimate of the liability for pending asbestos and toxic claims and has recorded a receivable from its insurance companies of $1,081 related to the asbestos litigation described above. The Company does not accrue for unasserted asbestos claims, such as in the Multidistrict Litigation, because it believes that it is not possible to determine whether any loss is probable with respect to such claims or even to estimate the amount or range of the loss, if any. Among the reasons is that the claims are made by an indeterminable number of people that include not just seamen who served on Company vessels, but longshoreman, ship repair workers and others. The unpredictability of personal injury litigation makes it difficult to accurately predict the ultimate resolution of these asbestos and toxic claims. By their very nature, civil actions relating to toxic substances vary according to the fact pattern of each case, including whether the plaintiff can prove actual disease, if any, or actual exposure, if any, to asbestos on Company vessels, the number of defendants and their relative shares of liability in each case, the applicable jurisdiction and numerous other factors. This uncertainty is increased by the possibility of adverse court rulings or new legislation affecting the asbestos claim litigation or the settlement process. It is therefore possible that an adverse outcome in some of these cases could have a material adverse affect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, operating results or cash flows. 75 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) A summary of the asbestos-related claims for 2005 and 2004 is presented below (dollars are in thousands):
2005 2004 ---- ---- Number of claims filed...................................... 62 60 Number of claims settled.................................... 6 10 Number of claims dismissed.................................. 6 20 Total settlements paid...................................... $ 93 $163 Average settlement.......................................... $ 16 $ 16 Legal expenses paid......................................... $571 $898 Insurance proceeds received................................. $ 77 $298
In addition to the asbestos-related claims in the summary above, in 2004 the Company settled certain asbestos-related claims that involved seamen employed by the Company for over 30 years. The Company expensed $2,125 and $4,200 related to this litigation in the first and second quarters of 2004, respectively. Although no insurance receivable has been recorded on these claims, the Company is aggressively pursuing reimbursement from certain insurance companies. In October 2004, the Company submitted demand letters to certain insurance underwriters for settlement amounts and defense costs paid. In November 2004, the Company filed suit against the insurance underwriters. The case is currently in discovery. OTHER COMMITMENTS The Company is also party to numerous long-term contracts for shipment of goods for other parties. Several of these contracts include clauses under which contract prices may change if certain economic events occur, primarily increases or decreases in certain components of vessel operating costs. These contracts are subject to audit by the cargo owners. Management has estimated the applicable amount of revenue to record for these contracts and, although it is at least reasonably possible that contract prices will change in the near term, management believes that it has accounted for these contracts appropriately. It is management's opinion that adjustments, if any, will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. During 2005, the Company has executed agreements totaling approximately $29,303 to purchase certain equipment and two vessels that are expected to be delivered during 2006. Payments of approximately $21,770 were made under these commitments during the year ended December 31, 2005. During 2004 and 2005, the Company entered into contracts for the construction of 6 articulated tug/barge units at an aggregate cost of approximately $276,450 (including the cost of owner furnished equipment). The units are currently under construction and two units are expected to be delivered during each of 2006, 2007 and 2008. Payments of $59,263 and $16,299 were made under these contracts during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company is also obligated under contractual commitments for leasehold improvements under an operating lease, software maintenance agreements, and minimum purchased transportation. Payments of $18,117, $14,220 and $9,853 were made under these commitments for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. 76 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) The future payments under the above commitments for the next five years as of December 31, 2005 are as follows: 2006........................................................ $114,350 2007........................................................ 97,371 2008........................................................ 33,627 2009........................................................ 565 2010........................................................ 2 -------- $245,915 ========
NOTE 22 -- ADDITIONAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Interest paid, net of amounts capitalized, and income tax payments (refunds) for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company has accrued $9,742 and $3,445, respectively for the purchase of property and equipment. NOTE 23 -- FINANCIAL INFORMATION BY SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA SEGMENT INFORMATION Segment information has been prepared in accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Segments were determined based on the types of services provided by each segment. Accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Note 1. The Company accounts for intersegment revenue and transfers at cost. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company implemented a corporate reorganization. As a result of this reorganization, the Company reevaluated its operating segments and reporting segments and retroactively changed them to be aligned with the Company's new structure. The Company is now organized and managed principally by means of five operating segments: Puerto Rico and Caribbean Islands Liner Services, Latin America Liner Services, Logistics Services, Marine Services and Petroleum Services. The Company manages its business operations and evaluates performance based upon the revenue and operating income of its operating segments. As a result of the Company's change in its organizational structure, the previously reported Ship Assist and Escort Service and Energy and Marine Service operating segments have been combined into one operating segment called Marine Services. In addition, certain ship management services previously reported under Liner Services and the former Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services are reported in Marine Services. The remaining portions of the former Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services (the Petroleum Service and Marine Transport Corporation) including certain ship management services are now part of an operating segment named Petroleum Services. The Company has aggregated the Puerto Rico and Caribbean Islands Liner Services and the Latin America Liner Services into one reportable segment called Liner Services. These operating segments are 77 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) aggregated based upon their long-term financial performance and because their products, services and class of customers are similar. The Liner Services segment provides ocean transportation services for the carriage of cargo between two geographic areas: (1) ports in the United States and ports in Puerto Rico and certain eastern Caribbean islands; and (2) ports in the United States and ports in Mexico, Central America, and certain Western Caribbean islands. The Liner Services segment provides a broad range of cargo transportation services including the carriage of containers, trailers, vehicles and oversized cargo. Logistics Services, formerly aggregated in the Liner Services segment, is being reported as a separate reportable segment based upon its long-term financial performance. Logistics services are provided in the United States and Central America and include: (a) freight forwarding, ocean transportation and airfreight to points throughout the world; (b) warehousing and distribution services, customs clearance and trucking within the United States and Central America; and (c) full package activities intended to create efficiencies in the carriage of goods. The Marine Services segment provides ship assist and escort services (including ship assist, tanker escort, docking and related services, fire fighting, emergency towing and oil spill response) and specialized services to companies on a worldwide basis engaged in the exploration, production and distribution of oil and gas. This segment offers turnkey project management for major infrastructure projects as well as logistics and inventory control services for the oil and gas industry. In addition, Marine Services provides worldwide marine salvage and marine wreck removal services as well as vessel management services to third parties. Petroleum Services transports crude oil, petroleum products and chemicals among ports on the east and west coasts of the United States, Alaska, and the Gulf of Mexico. Petroleum Services also operates a refined petroleum products distribution business in Alaska which includes the operations of owned or leased tank farms and the distribution of fuel via distribution centers, gas stations and retail delivery. Petroleum Services also provides vessel management services to third parties. The Other segment includes corporate services. Corporate services provides accounting, legal, human resources, information technology, purchasing support, insurance services, engineering services and vessel acquisition to the Company's operating segments and allocates 100% of their associated costs to the operating segments. Asset charges (recoveries) are allocated to the segment that last used the asset. 78 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) The table below summarizes certain financial information for each of the Company's segments and reconciles such information to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003. The Company does not segregate assets or expenditures for long-lived assets by reporting segment; therefore these amounts are reported under the Other segment. Additionally, the Company does not allocate interest expense, interest income, other income, or income taxes to operating segments. Accordingly, such amounts are included in the Other segment. As a result of the changes in the Company's reportable segments during 2005, the information for prior years has been restated to conform with the current year presentation. This information has also been restated for discontinued operations, as discussed in Note 4.

None of this related to prior years. In addition, the fourth quarter of 2004 includes an accrual of $1,702 that was recorded to properly reflect the Company's accounts payable at December 31, 2004. 81 CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005, 2004 AND 2003 (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS) The Company has evaluated the impact of these adjustments on the previously issued audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited quarterly financial statements. The Company determined the effect of these adjustments individually and in the aggregate was not material to any prior periods and therefore, has not restated any financial statements for prior periods. NOTE 25 -- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On January 1, 2006, the Company acquired all of the stock of Columbus Distributing, Inc. and Ev-Jo, Inc. (collectively "CDI"), a fuel distribution business in Alaska, for $5,100 cash. The acquisition of CDI further expands the Company's Alaskan fuel distribution business. The operation of CDI will be included in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations, within the Petroleum Services segment, commencing January 1, 2006. The Company is in the process of allocating the purchase price which includes obtaining independent appraisals of the fair value of assets and intangibles acquired. The Company will also be evaluating contingencies, such as environmental contingencies, during the second and third quarters of 2006 due to weather conditions in Alaska. During January 2006, the Company entered into a financing agreement with a bank for equipment that was purchased during 2005. The Company received $19,235 in proceeds. Payments for principal and interest, at a fixed rate of 6.15%, is due quarterly through October 2012 with a balloon payment of $5,437 due January 2013. The loan is collateralized by the equipment. During February 2006, the Company entered into a construction contract for two heavy lift deck barges for a purchase price of $26,067. The first barge is expected to be delivered in the first quarter of 2007 and the second barge is expected to be delivered in the third quarter of 2007. 82 SCHEDULE II -- VALUATION AND QUALIFYING ACCOUNTS FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 (IN THOUSANDS) ALLOWANCE FOR BAD DEBTS:
