Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial Condition. On October 29, 2003, Maritrans Inc. issued a press release announcing its third quarter 2003 financial results. The press release is being furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated herein by reference. This report (including the exhibit) shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be incorporated by reference in any filing made by the Registrant pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other than to the extent that such filing incorporates by reference any or all of such information by express reference thereto. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information The press release contains a presentation of TCE revenue, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. A presentation of revenue, which is the most comparable GAAP measure to TCE revenue, is contained in the press release, as well as a reconciliation of TCE revenue to revenue. The Company's management believes that the presentation of TCE revenue provides useful information regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operation because TCE revenue essentially nets the voyage costs and voyage revenue to yield a measure that is comparable between periods regardless of the types of charters utilized. SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

BROMFIELD (813) 209-0602 RELEASE JUDITH M. CORTINA (610) 595-8055 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MARITRANS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS AND DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND TAMPA, FL - (October 29, 2003) - Maritrans Inc. (NYSE: TUG), a leading U.S. flag marine petroleum transport company, today announced its third quarter financial results, declared its quarterly dividend and announced its quarterly investor teleconference. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, was $8.6 million, or $1.02 diluted earnings per share, on revenues of $33.7 million. These results include in net income the reversal of an income tax reserve of $7.7 million, or $0.92 diluted earnings per share, in the quarter. For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company reported net income of $1.7 million, or $0.20 diluted earnings per share, on revenues of $30.6 million On a Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) basis, a commonly used industry measure where direct voyage costs are deducted from revenue, TCE revenue increased 9 percent to $28.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, from $25.7 million in the comparable quarter in 2002. TCE revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure, and a reconciliation of TCE revenue to revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP is attached. Maritrans also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share, payable on December 3, 2003, to shareholders of record on November 19, 2003. The Company records reserves for income taxes based on the estimated amounts that it will likely have to pay based on its taxable net income. The Company periodically reviews its position based on the best available information and adjusts its income tax reserve accordingly. In the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Company reduced its income tax reserve by $7.7 million. Most of the decrease resulted from income tax reserves related to the restructuring of Maritrans Partners LP to Maritrans Inc. in 1993. This reversal resulted in a $.92 per share increase in net income for the quarter. There was no effect on cash flow or income from operations as a result of this reduction. During the quarter, the Company's exposure to the spot market remained limited as the majority of the Company's fleet was deployed under contract business. The Company will continue to have high contract utilization, as many of the current long-term contracts are not up for renewal until 2005. Both voyage and maintenance costs were higher than the comparable quarter in 2002 and the Company expects these costs to remain higher than in previous periods due to increased port charges and costs relating to compliance with regulations and customer demands. - MORE - Maritrans Reports Third Quarter Earnings and Declares Quarterly Dividend Page 2 October 29, 2003 The barge OCEAN STATES entered the shipyard in early September for her double-hull rebuild and the installation of a 30,000-barrel mid-body insertion, which the Company expects to be completed during the second quarter of 2004. Simultaneously, the Company will be continuing its tugboat rebuild program with the refurbishment of the tug HONOUR. Out-of-service time from both the OCEAN STATES double-hull rebuild and other scheduled maintenance time resulted in lower utilization compared to the first two quarters of 2003. The Company believes the lower utilization will continue in the fourth quarter of 2003. As previously announced, the Company also entered into new financing agreements during the quarter. These agreements replace $36.8 million of its existing term debt. The new debt facility consists of two pieces: $7.3 million with a 5-year amortization and $29.5 million with a 9.5-year amortization and a 50 percent balloon payment at the end of the term. The new debt accrues interest at an average fixed rate of 5.53 percent, replacing existing term debt that matured through 2007 and carried an average current floating rate of 3.22 percent. The new debt is collateralized by two barges and three tugs. The Company expensed unamortized fees related to the prior debt resulting in an after-tax charge of approximately $0.02 per share. In the third quarter of 2002, the Company recognized an after-tax gain of approximately $0.04 per share for a litigation reward received. MANAGEMENT'S COMMENTS Stephen A. Van Dyck, Chairman of Maritrans, commented, "With our fifth barge now being rebuilt with double hulls and additional cargo capacity, Maritrans remains committed to providing an OPA-compliant fleet that meets the needs of our customers. We believe that, except for our rebuilding program, there are no new barges or product tankers over 200,000 barrels currently under construction or under contract in American shipyards. Our position in the market remains strong and we continue to believe Maritrans is well-poised for long-term shareholder returns." Philip J. Doherty, Chief Executive Officer of Maritrans, commented, "As expected, we delivered positive results in the third quarter despite the challenges. Our fleet experienced high out-of-service time due to planned rebuilding and maintenance, and our costs continue to increase as we meet the demands of our ever-changing environment. We are working very hard to manage these changes in the marketplace while we generate strong operating and financial results."
