PART I

ITEM 1. 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 OVERVIEW

We provide diversified transportation services in domestic and
international markets by means of four operating lines of business: Liner
Services; Ship Assist and Escort Services; Oil and Chemical Distribution and
Transportation Services; and Energy and Marine Services. Liner Services provides
scheduled marine transportation services between designated ports, certain
complementary inland transportation services, terminal operations, vessel
management for third parties, and varied logistics management services. Ship
Assist and Escort Services provides ship assist, tanker escort, docking, fire
fighting, emergency towing and oil spill response services primarily in ports
located on the west coast of the continental United States and in Alaska. Oil
and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services transports crude oil,
petroleum products and chemicals among ports on the east and west coasts of the
United States, Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico and Puerto Rico. This segment also
manages vessels for third party owners, operates tank farms and distributes and
sells fuel oil in Alaska. Energy and Marine Services provides specialized
services to companies engaged in the exploration, production and distribution of
oil and gas, including project management and logistics, inventory control and
emergency response services. Energy and Marine Services also charters tugs,
barges and other equipment to third parties for a wide array of services,
including towing, transportation and other specialized services. 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 operating lines of business. 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 260 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, warehouses, tank farms,
office buildings, trucks, trailers, containers, chassis, cranes and other
specialized vehicles.

The grandfather of our current President, Mr. Thomas B. Crowley, Jr., began
our business on 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
business, 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. See "Item 5. Market for
Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of
Equity Securities" and Risk Factors in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations".

The following table lists the Company's owned, managed and chartered
vessels as of December 31, 2004:

From time to time, the Company may transfer vessels between the Company's
lines of business to meet changing business needs. Specifically, the Ship Assist
and Escort Services, Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services
and Energy and Marine 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 and among the different lines of
business. It is the Company's practice to regularly monitor the demands for the
services of each of these lines of business and to transfer tugs and barges
among them based upon prevailing market conditions. In addition to using tugs
and barges (including articulated and integrated tug/barges), Oil and Chemical
Distribution and Transportation Services also uses a fleet of tankers which, as
a general matter, are not well suited for use by either Ship Assist and Escort
Services or Energy and Marine Services.

For additional information about the Company's lines of business, see "Item
1. Business -- Liner Services", "Item 1. Business -- Ship Assist and Escort
Services", "Item 1. Business -- Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation
Services", and "Item 1. Business -- Energy and Marine Services" below, and Note
20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data". For segment financial information concerning
our revenues, operating profits and long-lived assets, see "Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and
Note 20 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, and performs logistics, warehousing, distribution
and special cargo handling services, including the carriage of apparel,
refrigerated perishable goods and hazardous materials. At December 31, 2004,
Liner Services provided service to approximately 24 countries in the Caribbean,
Central America and South America with 35 ocean going ships,

3

tugs and barges capable of carrying approximately 12,317 twenty foot equivalent
units, or TEU's. Liner Services also provides third party vessel management
services for eight vessels and leases space for approximately 40 TEU's on a
vessel under a slot charter agreement. Liner Services owns or leases
approximately 40,000 pieces of intermodal equipment, including containers,
trailers and chassis.

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 nine triple-deck RO/RO barges. Five of these
barges are 730 feet in length, with an average capacity of 924 TEU's. The
remaining four barges are 580 feet in length with an average capacity of 617
TEU's. The nine barges are towed by a fleet of ten offshore tugs owned by us.
This service also uses one barge for additional dock space. Departures are
normally scheduled for three or four times a week from Jacksonville, Florida and
once a week from Pennsauken, New Jersey. This service also provides third party
vessel management services to the United States government for eight vessels.

The Caribbean Islands service calls on two ports in the Virgin Islands,
three ports in the Caribbean and also provides service to various other ports
through connecting carriers. This service uses two time chartered LO/LO vessels.
The average capacity of these vessels is 530 TEU's. Departures are scheduled
from Jacksonville and Port Everglades, Florida once a week.

The Bahamas service uses a time chartered LO/LO vessel having a capacity of
approximately 408 TEU's. This service has two scheduled departures a week from
Jacksonville and Port Everglades, Florida to Nassau, Bahamas.

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, Mexico and Cuba; and

- ports in the Gulf of Mexico and ports in the Northern Zone of Central
America and Cuba.

The United States South Atlantic to the Northern Zone of Central America
service deploys three time chartered RO/RO vessels with an average capacity of
340 TEU's. This service has three 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: (a) three time chartered RO/RO vessels with an average capacity
of 360 TEU's that provides weekly service between Port Everglades, Florida and
Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala northbound; and (b) one time chartered LO/LO
vessel with a capacity of 70 TEU's which feeders cargo weekly between Limon,
Costa Rica and Rama, Nicaragua.

The Gulf of Mexico to the Northern Zone of Central America service deploys
three time chartered RO/ RO vessels, with an average capacity of 325 TEU's. This
service: (a) has three weekly sailings from Gulfport, Mississippi to Honduras
and Guatemala with overland services to Nicaragua and El Salvador; and (b) calls
upon Cuba three or four times a month depending on cargo demand.

The United States South Atlantic to the Dominican Republic and Haiti
service deploys one time chartered LO/LO vessel with an average capacity of 335
TEU's. The service has one sailing a week between Port Everglades, Florida and
ports in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

4

The United States South Atlantic to Mexico service deploys one time
chartered LO/LO vessel with a capacity of 280 TEU's. The service offers one
sailing every ten days from Jacksonville and Port Everglades, Florida to
Progresso and Veracruz, Mexico and Havana, Cuba.

The charters for the vessels used in the services described above expire
between 2005 and 2008. Vessels of the type time chartered by the Company for
these services have been readily available and it has not been difficult to
charter new vessels or renew the charters for existing vessels.

Liner Services provides logistics services in Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras,
Guatemala, El Salvador and the United States. Logistics services include:

- freight forwarding, customs clearance and non-vessel operating common
carrier and warehousing services;

- trucking in the United States and Central America;

- providing facilities, including trailer containers and chassis, trailer
and container yards, warehouses and distribution centers; and

- other logistics optimization activities intended to create efficiencies
in the carriage of goods.

In December 2003, the Company approved a plan to sell the Logistics
operations of its Liner Services segment in Venezuela and completed the sale in
February 2004. For further information regarding the sale, refer to Note 4 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data."

At December 31, 2004, 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 depends upon common use terminals.

MARINE TERMINALS AND CONTAINER YARDS

The Company also leases warehouse and distribution space in several
locations in Central America and the United States as listed in the table below.

WAREHOUSE AND DISTRIBUTION SPACE

SHIP ASSIST AND ESCORT SERVICES

Ship Assist and Escort Services 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. Included within its
fleet are 28 tugs ranging in length from 85 feet to 150 feet with between 3,500
and 10,192 brake horsepower, and 61 barges of various sizes, capacities and
capabilities. 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 response
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.

Numerous vessels which call upon or trade between United States ports are
precluded, due to their size, the nature of their cargo or by the application of
local regulations from coming within certain distances of the docks where they
load or discharge their cargoes without the assistance of one or more tugs. The
number of tugs required and the distance at which they must be engaged vary
depending upon the port which is called. According to certain regulations
intended to protect the environment which apply to ports located in Alaska,
Washington and California, tankers loaded with full or partial cargoes of oil
are not permitted to enter or leave these ports unless they are escorted by one
or more tugs. These tugs are equipped to assume control of the tankers escorted
by them in the event that the tankers lose navigational control due to the loss
of power or otherwise. In some cases, these escort tugs are tethered to the
tankers that they escort. In other cases, they operate without a tether, but
within a prescribed distance of the escorted tanker.

Our escort tugs typically relinquish responsibility for escorted tankers
either at the time that the tankers have passed beyond the jurisdictional
boundaries of the port or when the tankers have been met by docking tugs. Our
Ship Assist and Escort tugs 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. All of our tugs are constructed of steel and each is powered by one or
more diesel engines. After our ship assist tugs have met the vessel which they
will be assisting as it approaches or departs from its designated dock, the
assisted vessel generally decreases the use of its own propulsion system and
relies upon our tugs for the maneuvers required to tie up and depart from a dock
safely. All of our tugs are fitted and equipped with special fenders and other
equipment which allows them to maintain contact with the vessel which is being
served without damaging its hull. Depending upon the demand for their services,
it is our practice to keep between two and seven tugs positioned in the ports
which we serve.

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

6

time charter, time charter from us vessels owned by us or chartered in by us
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 the oil companies to 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 the oil companies with various shore-side services. As of December
31, 2004, 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.

We have also bareboat chartered from Prince William Sound Corporation eight
vessels and 48 mini-barges, all of 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.

Because our tugs, line boats and barges chartered to Alyeska are capable of
performing similar services for other companies in other locations, in the event
that Alyeska decided that it did not require some or all of these vessels for
its operations in Alaska, the Company could redeploy the vessels not required by
Alyeska to other locations.

OIL AND CHEMICAL DISTRIBUTION AND TRANSPORTATION 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 Oil and Chemical Distribution
and Transportation 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.

Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services uses four
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 that utilize
two large cylindrical pins, are connected 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 tugs and
barges 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
two new articulated tug/barge units which will be capable of carrying 180,000
barrels of refined product. These new units will utilize a design similar to the
design used for the four units discussed above and will employ the same number
of crew members and operate at the same speeds.

Our tankers are powered by steam turbine or diesel propulsion systems and
are capable of propelling themselves at speeds of up to approximately 15 knots.
Our integrated tug/barge units are powered by diesel engines and are capable of
propelling themselves at speeds of up to 14 knots. Each of our tankers and each
of our integrated tug/barge units is equipped with living quarters for its crew
members. Our tankers typically

7

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. Our tanker used for the carriage of chemicals can
carry up to 26 different cargoes at the same time.

THE PETROLEUM SERVICE

Petroleum Services either owns or leases numerous vessels used for the
carriage of crude oil and petroleum products. Among these vessels is a fleet of
20 petroleum barges with capacities of up to 16,550 long tons which are
primarily towed by 14 tugs owned by us. The barges and other specially designed
vessels carry crude oil and petroleum products among refineries and storage
terminals on the West Coast of the United States and Alaska.

Petroleum Services also owns and/or operates four tank farms in western
Alaska with a cumulative storage capacity of approximately 459,000 barrels of
petroleum product. 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 western Alaska
who are the ultimate consumers.

In July 2004, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to purchase a
marine and land-based refined petroleum products distribution business from
Northland Fuel LLC and Yukon Fuel as well as certain vessels and other assets
used in Yukon Fuel Company's fuel distribution business in Alaska. For further
information, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" included in "Item 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."

MARINE TRANSPORT CORPORATION

Marine Transport Corporation ("MTC"), a wholly owned subsidiary acquired by
the Company in 2001, either owns or leases several vessels used for the carriage
of petroleum products and chemicals. Among these vessels are 3 tankers and 2
integrated and 4 articulated tug/barges with capacities of up to approximately
46,000 long tons. The barges, tankers and other specially designed vessels carry
petroleum products and chemicals: (a) among refineries and storage terminals on
the East Coast and West Coast of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico; and
(b) among ports in Puerto Rico and the Gulf of Mexico.

MTC also provides vessel management services for 22 vessels belonging to
other owners, including commercial companies and the United States government.

In November 2004, MTC sold a vessel that represented a component of the
Company, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Board ("SFAS")
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. For further information, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

ENERGY AND MARINE SERVICES

The vessels primarily used by Energy and Marine Services consist of flat
deck barges designed for the carriage of heavy loads and tugboats of different
sizes and capabilities. Our flat deck barges are unmanned and require the use of
our tugs to be moved between job locations.

Energy and Marine Services provides specialized services to companies
engaged, on a worldwide basis, in the exploration, production and distribution
of oil and gas. Permanent areas of operation extend from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to
Pedernales, Venezuela and west to the Russian Far East. These services are
traditionally provided through specialized marine transportation projects which
use assets either owned by the Company or chartered by the Company from the
world market as needed.

8

We also offer turnkey project management for major infrastructure projects
as well as logistics and inventory control services for the oil and gas
industry. Past projects range from sea lifting supplies to Alaska for the
Trans-Alaska oil pipeline, to delivery of oversized modules for oil and gas
exploration and production in Africa, Asia and the Americas. Energy and Marine
Services also provides salvage services, charters vessels to third parties, and
transports petroleum products under term contracts.

Due to our extensive network of facilities, our large fleet of vessels and
active services over a large geographic area, Energy and Marine Services is able
to respond quickly to a variety of situations, including emergencies, and
assemble to customer specifications unique configurations of marine equipment
which are otherwise unavailable. To provide this service, we use 31 tugs, 35
barges, and 2 crewboats and occupy approximately 15 acres of shore side
terminals located in Seattle, Washington.

During 2004, Energy and Marine Services was involved in the following
projects:

- providing assistance for the installation of several platforms in the
Gulf of Mexico used for oil exploration;

- transporting oil exploration cargo from foreign ports to Sakhalin Island,
Russia, and between ports in Russia;

- removal of drilling platform structures in Russia and demobilization of
excess materials to the United States;

- transporting materials between Pacific islands and the United States West
Coast;

- transporting oilfield equipment overland in winter-time Alaskan
operations;

- salvage/recovery projects in California and Alaska;

- transporting cargoes between Washington and Alaska; and

- transporting petroleum products between U.S. ports and between Venezuela
and Trinidad.

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
multiple of predictable claims based on historical loss/claim experience and to
insure more significant claims in Beacon Insurance Company Ltd., which is a
wholly-owned 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 from Liner Services' trade between Puerto Rico and the United
States 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 declined during the first quarter
of each year. The service provided by Liner Services between Latin America and
the United States, logistics services, and Ship Assist and Escort Services are
generally not affected by seasonal factors. The carriage of chemicals and
petroleum products among ports in the United States by the vessels used by Oil
and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services usually experiences a
slight downturn during the summer months because of customer inventory
adjustments and refinery shutdowns. The activities of our barges used by Oil and
Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services to transport fuel to Alaska
tend to 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. The activities of Energy and Marine

9

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.

For quarterly financial information concerning our revenues, operating
profits, net income and earnings per share, see Note 21 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. However, the failure to obtain contracts for a
significant number of services could, in the aggregate, have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Ship Assist and Escort Services derives a material amount of its revenues
from a group of contracts with Alyeska. In the event that Alyeska decided not to
renew a substantial number of these contracts and the Company was not able
successfully to redeploy the vessels used for these contracts to other
locations, the decision by Alyeska could have a material adverse effect on the
results of Ship Assist and Escort 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.

COMPETITION

The competition faced by our operating lines of business is intense. The
principal methods of competition in the Company's business are price, service,
experience 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 capital
resources greater 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 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Risk Factors" below.

Each of our operating lines of business 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 those 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 currently compete with three principal other carriers: Horizon Lines,
Trailer Bridge and Sea Star Line, LLC. The services offered by Liner Services
between the United States and Central America currently compete with three
principal carriers: Maersk/Sealand, Seaboard, and American President Line. We
believe our share of these markets in 2004 was substantial. Major competitors
for Logistics services include: United Parcel Service, EXEL, Maersk Logistics,
APL Logistics, Sovereign Logistics and Customs and Trade.

SHIP ASSIST AND ESCORT SERVICES

Our principal competitor for providing ship assist, tanker escort, docking
and lightering 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. In Oakland, California, major competitors are Foss Maritime and
Starlight. In

10

Southern California, major competitors are Foss Maritime and Millennium Towing
Company. In Puget Sound, Washington, our major competitor is Foss Maritime. We
believe that we had a substantial share of each of the Oakland, Southern
California and Puget Sound markets in 2004.

OIL AND CHEMICAL DISTRIBUTION AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

We are a major carrier of petroleum products by barge in Alaska and by
barge and tanker on the United States West Coast, East Coast, and the Gulf of
Mexico. Major competitors in the barge trade are Sause Brothers, Foss Maritime,
SeaCoast, Maritrans, Moran and Hornbeck Offshore Services. Oil companies and
independent owners that operate vessels and other modes of petroleum
transportation, including pipelines, also compete with our barges for petroleum
cargo. Our vessels primarily compete in the carriage of chemicals against
certain United States railroads, Allied Towing Corp., and Seabulk International.
Our vessels primarily compete in the carriage of petroleum products against
certain United States railroads, Seabulk International, American Heavylift
Shipping Co., United States Shipping Partners L.P., Maritrans Inc., Keystone
Shipping Co. and K-Sea Transportation Partners L.P.

ENERGY AND MARINE SERVICES

Our principal United States based competitors for providing energy and
marine 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. In
providing logistics services, our primary competitors include ASCO, Sembcorp,
Maersk, and S.D.V. Oilfield, which have an international presence. Further
competition, primarily for government contracts, comes from qualified small
businesses. In addition to the competitive factors described above, the expenses
of Energy and Marine Services may be higher than those of certain competitors
who provide similar services with nonunion labor.

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, 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 Department of Transportation,
including certain regulations for drug testing and hours of service. The
officers and unlicensed crew members employed

11

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 regime 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 marine transportation business which is conducted between United States
ports is 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.

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 fourteen
properties and have projected approximately $4.4 million to be spent over the
next ten years on these projects. 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 unaware of any material pending or 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 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 chemical and petroleum
product tankers, our crude oil carriers 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

12

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.

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" such liability is limited to the greater of $600 per gross ton or
$500,000 per vessel. Such liability limits do not apply, however, 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
one vessel in 2005 and one vessel in 2006 that must stop carrying petroleum and
petroleum products if they are not retrofitted with double hulls. If these
vessels are not replaced, the impact on the Company's financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows would not be material. In addition, we own
19 other vessels which, during the six year period beginning in 2010, will need
to be retrofitted with double hulls 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 would represent a material capital expenditure.

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 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

13

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 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.

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.

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 noncompliance 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, 2004, we had 4,268 employees, including 1,904 employed
on vessels and 2,364 employed at our domestic and foreign offices and other
land-based facilities. Approximately 2,770 of the Company's employees are
employed under the terms of 32 separate collective bargaining agreements with 13
different unions which, among other things, set forth the wages and benefits of
these employees. These agreements have expiration dates ranging from 2005 to
2008. The Company's operations have not been affected significantly by work
stoppages and, in the opinion of management, employee relations are good.

14

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

The executive officers of the Company are as follows:

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

Our corporate headquarters and executive offices are located at 155 Grand
Avenue, Oakland, California 94612, where we lease approximately 15,800 square
feet pursuant to a lease which expires in 2008. Liner Services conducts its
operations from offices located at 9487 Regency Square Boulevard, Jacksonville,
Florida 32225, a 100,000 square foot building owned by the Company. The
operations of Ship Assist and Escort Services and the operations of Energy and
Marine Services are primarily conducted from offices located at 1102 Southwest
Massachusetts Street, Pier 17, Seattle, Washington 98134, where we lease
approximately 40,000 square feet pursuant to a lease which expires in 2022. The
operations of Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services are
primarily conducted from our offices located at 100 Lighting Way, Secaucus, New
Jersey 07094, where we will lease approximately 14,030 square feet pursuant to a
lease which expires in 2010, and our offices located at Pier 17, in Seattle,
Washington.

We also maintain additional facilities in the United States and abroad to
support our businesses, including warehouse facilities and dock facilities in
Jacksonville, Florida, Port Everglades, Florida, Miami, Florida, Pennsauken, New
Jersey, Valdez, Alaska, Seattle, Washington, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, some of
which serve as ports-of-call for many customers. In addition, we maintain
strategically dispersed operating bases, and offices in Houston, Texas, Long
Beach, California, Atlanta, Georgia, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Vancouver,
Washington. Petroleum tank farms are located in Bethel, Kotzebue, Nome and
Captain's Bay, Alaska in support of our Alaska petroleum businesses.

We believe that all of our facilities and equipment are in good condition,
well maintained and able to support our current operations. For additional
information concerning our properties, see the information concerning our fleet
of vessels and certain other properties as set forth in "Item 1. Business" of
this Form 10-K.

15

ITEM 3. 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, 2004, cannot be ascertained. While these
matters could affect our 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 in this "Item 3. Legal
Proceedings.") 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 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 Company and the director defendants filed a motion with the Delaware Court
of Chancery seeking dismissal of the lawsuit. The Company believes that the
lawsuit is without merit.

ENVIRONMENTAL LITIGATION

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.
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.
Historically, actual provisions for environmental costs have not differed
materially from accrued amounts.

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 $1.0 million and $5.3 million, 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 $1.0 million and $2.2 million as a reduction to claims expense in
2003 and 2002, respectively. Please see Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data"
for additional information.

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 were transferred to
the United States District Court for the Eastern Division of Pennsylvania for
pretrial processing. On May 1, 1996, Judge Charles R. Weiner administratively
dismissed the

16

cases subject to reinstatement in the future. At present, it is not known when
or how long the process will require. Approximately 35 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.
It is not known whether Judge Weiner will be able to develop a plan that will
result in settlement of the cases. If he is unsuccessful, upon reinstatement,
the cases should be remanded to the Ohio and Michigan Federal Courts.

In addition, the Company is a defendant in approximately 110 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.

The uncertainties of asbestos claim litigation make it difficult to
accurately predict the ultimate resolution of these claims. By their very
nature, civil actions relating to toxic substances vary according to the fact
pattern of each case, 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.
Accordingly, we cannot predict the eventual number of such cases or their final
resolution. The full impact of these claims and proceedings in the aggregate
continues to be unknown.

The Company has insurance coverage that reimburses it for a substantial
portion of the: (a) costs incurred defending against asbestos claims; and (b)
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, 2004, the Company has accrued $2.7 million as its best
estimate of the potential liability and recorded a receivable from its insurance
companies of $1.2 million related to the asbestos litigation described above.

The Company became aware of asbestos related litigation involving certain
cases filed in Northern California during the first quarter of 2004. These
claims were settled in late May 2004. 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 our insurance
companies. In October 2004, the Company submitted demand letters to its
insurance underwriters for settlement amounts and defense costs paid and in
November 2004, the Company filed suit against the insurance underwriters. The
case is currently in discovery. The Company intends to aggressively pursue the
resolution of these insurance claims.

While it is not feasible to accurately predict or determine the ultimate
outcome of all pending investigations and legal proceedings relating to asbestos
or toxic substances or provide reasonable ranges of potential losses with
respect to these matters, 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 some of these cases could have a material
adverse affect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, operating
results or cash flows.

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 2004.

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 public stock exchange or in any

17

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.

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

(1) No trades during this quarter

As of March 1, 2005, we had 476 stockholders of record of our voting common
stock and one 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 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. (See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data".)

The Company's financing agreements for Title XI borrowings contain
restrictive covenants which require, among other things, annual maintenance of
working capital that is equal to or greater than 50% of the total of 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, 2004 was $41.9
million. While the Company is prohibited from repurchasing shares of any class
of capital stock or declaring or paying any dividend, 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, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its financing
and leasing arrangements.

The Company sponsors the Crowley Maritime Corporation Retirement Stock Plan
("RSP"), which held 9,063 shares of our common stock at December 31, 2004, 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 or termination of Company employment after attainment of age 65. All
other 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 consisting of shares of common

18

stock. Upon the date of distribution and for the immediately succeeding ten
days, such shares of common stock are subject to the Company's right to
repurchase them for cash equal to their fair market value (discounted for lack
of marketability), determined as of the calendar year-end that coincides with or
immediately precedes the date of distributions.

The Company also sponsors the Stock Savings Plan ("SSP"), an employee stock
ownership plan which held 4,579 shares of our common stock at December 31, 2004,
all of which are fully vested. Participants in the SSP have the option to sell
their stock to the Company at the common stock's marketable fair value (without
discounting for lack of marketability), determined by an independent appraisal
as of the preceding calendar year-end, upon retirement, death or after a break
in service.

A summary of our common stock purchased by the Company from participants in
the RSP and SSP in the fourth quarter of 2004 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. You should read the consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto in "Item 8. Financial Statements and

and uncertainties.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Crowley Maritime Corporation is a diversified transportation company with
global operations. We have four business segments: Liner Services; Ship Assist
and Escort Services; Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services;
and Energy and Marine Services. Each segment is capital intensive and requires
the periodic renewal or replacement of the assets used by it. While all of our
segments are primarily engaged in maritime transportation and services related
to maritime transportation, each segment serves a different market with separate
and distinct customers. Certain markets are primarily based in the United States
and certain markets are based overseas. In most cases, each segment uses
equipment that has been specially designed and constructed to meet the needs of
that particular segment. By operating in four distinct markets, we diversify the
nature of our capital investments and hope to minimize the impact that any
economic downturn or other unforeseen adverse event may have upon one or more of
our segments at any particular time.

In February 2004, the Company sold its Logistics operations based in
Venezuela for $1.5 million. In November of 2004, the Company sold a vessel that
was a component of the Company, as defined in SFAS 144, for $8.8 million.
Accordingly, all financial information in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" has been restated to
present the discontinued Venezuela operations and the discontinued vessel
operations separately from the Company's continuing operations.

A summary of the Company's consolidated results of operations for the years
ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 is provided below. A summary of certain
financial information for each of the Company's segments for the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 is presented in Note 20 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data".

We are continually looking for opportunities that will complement or
strengthen our existing businesses. As part of these efforts, we: (1) entered
into a construction contract in June of 2004 for two articulated tug/barge
units; (2) entered into a definitive agreement effective July 20, 2004 to
purchase a fuel distribution

21

business in Alaska; and (3) purchased one transportation management company in
2003. To be certain that we have the financial resources required for any
project that meets our criteria, we maintain a revolving line of credit that may
provide up to $95.0 million. At December 31, 2004, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of $142.9 million and long-term debt in the amount of $372.4
million.

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, goodwill, revenue recognition, 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 position, 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 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. 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 assets' carrying amount.

GOODWILL

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") 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.

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 ratably over each voyage by load and discharge port. The
Company's logistics services and Ship Assist and Escort Services are recognized
as services are provided. Revenues from the Oil and Chemical Distribution and
Transportation Services and Energy and Marine Services are recognized ratably
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

22

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
position, results of operation and cash flows could be materially impacted.

LITIGATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVES

The Company monitors its outstanding litigation (including unasserted
claims). The Company 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 does change based on
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 unable to predict the ultimate
outcome of this litigation and an estimate of the amount or range of potential
loss. In addition, the Company is responsible for environmental remediation
relating to contamination of property. 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 position, results of operations and
cash flows. See "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" and Notes 17 and 18 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth: (a) operating revenues and operating income
for Liner Services, Ship Assist and Escort Services, Oil and Chemical
Distribution and Transportation Services, and Energy and Marine Services for the
years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002; and (b) other income and expenses
not specifically attributable to these operating segments. Other income and
expenses include interest income, interest expense, and minority interest in
consolidated subsidiaries. The Company evaluates the performance of its
operating segments based upon the operating income of the segment, excluding
interest income and expense 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, 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. Asset charges (recoveries) are allocated to
the segment that last used the asset.

SEGMENT OPERATING REVENUE AND OPERATING INCOME
AND OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES
(IN THOUSANDS)

COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003

Consolidated operating revenues in 2004 increased $31.6 million, or 3.3%,
to $999.7 million compared with $968.1 million in 2003. This increase was the
result of the following events or circumstances:

- $24.7 million as the result of higher prices for direct sales of fuel;

- $12.8 million generated by the vessel mobilization and transportation of
oil exploration cargo in Far East Russia and Korea;

- $6.0 million generated by increased government and commercial contract
activity in the Gulf of Mexico and United States west coast;

24

- $40.9 million from our scheduled marine transportation services as a
result of an increase in rates and container and noncontainer volume; and

- $9.5 million generated by a transportation management company
specializing in the apparel industry that we acquired in 2003.

These increases were partially offset by decreases in revenues which
resulted from the following events or circumstances:

- $14.6 million in direct fuel sales from a decrease in volume sold;

- $7.4 million as a result of reduced demand for oil transportation
activities on the United States west coast;

- $9.0 million from reduced activity in our Northern Alaskan marine and
land operations; and

- $36.7 million from fewer vessels operating in the Oil and Chemical
Distribution and Transportation Services segment as a result of vessels
being sold or dry-docked.

Consolidated operating expenses increased $32.9 million in 2004, or 3.9%,
to $882.0 million compared with $849.1 million in 2003. This increase in
consolidated operating expenses was primarily caused by:

- $16.9 million associated with higher fuel prices for fuel purchased for
our direct fuel sales;

- $13.8 million increased outfitting and mobilization charges related to
the Russia and Korea projects;

- $13.1 million in vessel-related costs and $19.6 million in non-vessel
costs from our scheduled marine transportation services 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; 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 expenses of:

- $10.3 million for the cost of fuel from a decrease in volume sold;

- $3.4 million as a result of reduced demand for oil transportation
activities on the United States west coast;

- $7.6 million from reduced activity in our northern Alaskan land and
marine operations; and

- $33.4 million in vessel-related expenses due to fewer vessels operating
in the Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services as a
result of vessels being sold or dry-docked.

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.

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, which was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation
of $4.2 million. Dry-dock costs for thirteen vessels were amortized in 2004
compared with ten 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 seven vessels. These gains were partially offset by impairment charges
of $1.2 million on four vessels which were taken out of service and are held for
sale. During 2003, gains of $5.8 resulted from the

25

sale of equipment, land, land improvements and ten vessels, which was partially
offset by a $.4 million writedown of vessel improvements.

As a result, our consolidated operating income decreased $7.7 million, or
21.9% to $27.5 million in 2004 compared with $35.2 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 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities.

Income tax expense decreased $5.5 million, to $2.1 million in 2004 compared
with $7.6 million in 2003. The effective tax rate was 20.1% for 2004 and 43.0%
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 $13.4 million to income of $16.6 million
in 2004 from $3.2 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 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 shareholders increased $12.1
million to $23.3 million ($172.50 basic and diluted income per common share) in
2004 compared with $11.2 million ($82.87 basic income per common share and
$79.17 diluted income per common share) in 2003.

Liner Services

Operating revenues from our Liner Services segment increased $53.7 million,
or 9.3%, to $632.3 million in 2004 compared with $578.6 million in 2003. The
increase is primarily attributable to a 3.0% increase in container and
noncontainer volume, an 8.1% increase in average revenue, and an increase of
40.4% in other logistical service revenues. The Company's container and
noncontainer volume increased to 599,693 TEU's during 2004 from 581,955 TEU's
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. An increase in other logistical service revenues
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 increased $50.9 million, or 9.7%, to $578.1 million in
2004 compared with $527.2 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 $13.1 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. An increase of

26

$10.7 million in other logistical service expenses was due to expenses incurred
by a transportation management company specializing in the apparel industry
purchased in July 2003. Allocation of certain costs arising from the settlement
in 2004 of certain asbestos-related claims resulted in an increase of $4.3
million of operating expenses in 2004 compared to 2003.

Depreciation and amortization increased $2.5 million, or 24.3%, to $12.8
million in 2004 compared with $10.3 million in 2003. The increase was directly
attributable to a $2.0 million increase in dry-dock amortization and a $.4
million impairment loss recorded on a non-compete agreement during 2004. Liner
Services amortized dry-dock costs for nine vessels during the year ended
December 31, 2004 compared with six vessels during the year ended December 31,
2003.

Asset recoveries, net decreased $.4 million to $.6 million in 2004 compared
with $1.0 million in 2003. The gains of $.6 million resulted from disposals of
equipment during 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 Liner Services decreased $1.2
million to $19.7 million in 2004 compared with $20.9 million in 2003.

Ship Assist and Escort Services

Operating revenues from our Ship Assist and Escort Services segment
increased $1.3 million, or 1.8%, to $75.0 million in 2004 compared with $73.7
million for 2003. The increase was directly attributable to: (a) a $2.1 million
increase in rates, most of which was attributable to a fuel surcharge to cover
rising fuel prices; and (b) $1.0 million of revenues from operations in Oakland,
California which commenced during the second quarter of 2004. This increase was
partially offset by a decrease in tug volumes which resulted in a $1.8 million
reduction in revenues. The decrease is largely a result of decreased tanker
volumes in the Puget Sound, Washington. Overall vessel utilization rates
remained constant at 72% during 2004 and 2003.

Operating expenses increased $1.4 million, or 2.3%, to $63.2 million in
2004 compared with $61.8 million during 2003. Vessel-related costs, such as
crew, fuel and repairs and maintenance costs, increased by $2.0 million, of
which $.8 million was attributed to labor and fuel costs associated with the
operations in Oakland, California which commenced during the second quarter of
2004. Non-vessel expenses decreased $1.3 million due to a $2.6 million decrease
in property taxes which was partially offset by a $.9 million increase in
subcontracting costs.

Asset recoveries, net increased $.7 million to a recovery of $.7 million
during the year ended December 31, 2004 related to the disposal of one vessel.

As a result, operating income from Ship Assist and Escort Services
increased $.5 million to $10.2 million in 2004 compared with $9.7 million in
2003.

Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services

Operating revenues from our Oil and Chemical Distribution and
Transportation Services segment decreased $32.2 million, or 13.1%, to $213.4
million in 2004 compared with $245.6 million for 2003. The decrease is directly
attributable to: (a) a $14.6 million decrease in revenues from the direct sale
of fuel caused by a decrease in sales volume due to the loss of a large customer
in Petroleum Services offset by the addition of several customers; (b) a $7.4
million decrease in revenues caused by reduced demand for oil transportation
services on the United States west coast; and (c) 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 $24.7 million increase in revenues generated by higher
prices for fuel sold directly by us. Overall vessel utilization decreased to 64%
in 2004 compared to 69% in 2003.

Operating expenses decreased $28.8 million, or 13.6%, to $182.7 million
during 2004 compared with $211.5 million during 2003. This decrease is primarily
attributable to: (a) a $10.3 million decrease in the cost of fuel from a
decrease in volume sold attributable to the loss of a large customer in
Petroleum Services offset

27

by the addition of several customers; (b) a $33.4 million decrease in expenses
caused by the absence of certain vessels in 2004 (either due to sale or
drydocking of the vessels) that were in service during 2003; and (c) a $3.4
million decrease in expenses caused by reduced demand for oil transportation
services on the United States west coast. This decrease was partially offset by
an increase of $16.9 million arising from higher costs of fuel purchased for
resale.

Depreciation and amortization 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 four vessels were amortized during the years ended December
31, 2004 and 2003. Spending for the drydocking of three vessels in 2003 was
$15.7 million higher than the amounts spent in 2004 for drydocking one vessel,
resulting in higher amortization in 2004 compared with 2003.

Asset recoveries, net 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 Oil and Chemical Distribution and
Transportation Services decreased $8.7 million to $9.4 million in 2004 compared
with $18.1 million for 2003.

Energy and Marine Services

Operating revenues from our Energy and Marine Services segment increased
$8.8 million, or 12.5%, to $79.0 million in 2004 compared with $70.2 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; and (b) $6.0 million generated by increased
government and commercial contract activity in the Gulf of Mexico and United
States west coast. This increase was partially offset by reduced 2004 revenues
of $9.0 million caused by reduced activity in our Northern Alaskan marine and
land operations. Overall vessel utilization increased to 49% in 2004 compared to
46% in 2003. Vessel utilization in this segment is impacted by oil exploration
activity and general economic conditions and tends to be very volatile.

Operating expenses increased $15.8 million, or 15.3%, to $118.9 million
during 2004 compared with $103.1 million in 2003. The increase is directly
attributable to: (a) charges in the amount of $13.8 million arising from
increased outfitting and mobilization activity related to projects in Russia and
Korea; (b) higher fuel and labor costs in the amount of $6.5 million arising
from vessels chartered, at cost, by our Energy and Marine Services segment to
our Puerto Rico and Caribbean Islands Service; (c) an increase of $1.9 million
for administrative costs, including payroll and corporate services allocated to
this segment; and (d) an increase of $1.6 million in other vessel-related costs.
These increases were offset by a reduction of $7.6 million in operating costs in
our Northern Alaskan land and marine operations as a result of reduced activity.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.4 million, or 11.5%, to $10.8
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 increased $1.0 million, or 38.5%, to a recovery of
$3.6 million in 2004 as compared with $2.6 million in 2003. During 2004, a gain
of $4.5 million resulted from the sale of five vessels and land improvements,
which were partially offset by a $.9 million writedown on three vessels. During
2003, a gain of $2.9 million resulted from the sale of five vessels and land
improvements, which were partially offset by a $.3 million writedown of vessel
improvements.

As a result, the operating loss from Energy and Marine Services decreased
by $1.6 million to $11.9 million for 2004 compared with a loss of $13.5 million
in 2003.

28

COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

Consolidated operating revenues in 2003 increased $8.0 million, or .8%, to
$968.1 million compared with $960.1 million in 2002. This increase was the
result of the following events or circumstances:

- $8.3 million as the result of higher prices for the direct sale of fuel;

- $4.3 million as a result of higher demand for oil transportation
activities on the United States west coast;

- $8.0 million from increased vessel activity in the Gulf of Mexico;

- $34.3 million from our scheduled marine transportation services as a
result of an increase in container and noncontainer volume;

- $20.6 million from the operation of three ATB's placed in service during
the third and fourth quarters of 2002 and one ATB placed in service
during the second quarter of 2003;

- $13.6 million generated by a transportation service provider purchased in
2002 and a transportation management company specializing in the apparel
industry that we acquired in 2003; and

- $4.0 million from the activation of the ready-reserve vessels managed for
the United States Government for the war in Iraq.

These increases were partially offset by decreases in revenues which
resulted from the following events or circumstances:

- $22.8 million due to the sale of MTL Petrolink Corp. in 2002;

- $7.8 million from reduced government and commercial contract activity on
the west coast of the United States;

- $18.5 million from the revenues earned from the vessel outfitting and
mobilization and the transportation of oil exploration cargo to Sakhalin
Island, Russia; and

- $39.2 million as a result of fewer vessels operating in the Oil and
Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services segment as a result of
vessels being sold or dry-docked.

Consolidated operating expenses increased $11.8 million in 2003, or 1.4%,
to $849.1 million compared with $837.3 million in 2002. This increase in
consolidated operating expenses was primarily caused by:

- $6.3 million associated with higher fuel prices for fuel purchased for
our direct fuel sales;

- $9.7 million in vessel-related costs and $23.1 million in non-vessel
related costs from our scheduled marine transportation services as a
result of an increase in container and noncontainer volume;

- $10.3 million in vessel-related costs for increased crew, fuel, repairs
and maintenance and other vessel costs in our Ship Assist and Escort
Service segment and Energy and Marine Service segment;

- $7.8 million from the operation of three ATB's placed in service during
2002 and one ATB placed in service in 2003; and

- $12.6 million of expenses attributable to the operations of a
transportation service provider purchased in 2002 and a transportation
management company specializing in the apparel industry purchased in
2003.

These increases were partially offset by decreased expenses of:

- $23.0 million of operating expenses not incurred due to the sale of MTL
Petrolink Corp. in 2002;

- $6.1 million for one-time outfitting charges in 2002 and reduced activity
in 2003 related to the Sakhalin Island, Russia project;

29

- $24.2 million in vessel-related expenses due to a reduction in the number
of vessels operating in the Oil and Chemical Distribution and
Transportation Services segment due to the sale or dry-docking of certain
vessels; and

- $4.0 million in reimbursable costs due to the activation of the
ready-reserve vessels managed for the United States government.

Consolidated general and administrative expenses decreased $1.9 million, or
5.7%, to $31.4 million in 2003 compared with $33.3 million in 2002. This
decrease was primarily attributable to insurance costs related to split-dollar
life insurance, which decreased $2.8 million from 2002. This decrease was offset
by an increase of $.4 million in payroll related costs.

Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.8 million,
or 7.0%, to $57.8 million in 2003 compared with $54.0 million in 2002 primarily
as the result of $6.4 million in depreciation for new assets placed in service,
of which the most significant was depreciation relating to the four new ATB's
during 2003. The increase was also generated by an increase in dry-dock
amortization in the amount of $2.9 million as a result of amortizing the cost of
dry-docking ten vessels in 2003 compared with nine vessels in 2002. These
increases were partially offset by the absence of depreciation in the amount of
$4.6 million attributed to vessels sold in 2003.

Consolidated asset recoveries, net increased $5.6 million to a recovery of
$5.4 million in 2003 compared with a charge of $.2 million in 2002. During 2003,
gains of $5.8 million resulted from the sale of equipment, land, land
improvements and ten vessels, which were partially offset by a $.4 million
writedown of vessel improvements. During 2002, five vessels and various
equipment were sold for a gain of $1.4 million, one vessel was destroyed by fire
(resulting in a $3.9 million gain net of incurred costs from involuntary
conversion), and $5.5 million of impairment charges were recognized on vessels
designated for disposal.

As a result, our consolidated operating income decreased $.2 million, or
..6% to $35.2 million in 2003 compared with $35.4 million in 2002.

Interest income decreased $.3 million, or 42.9%, to $.4 million in 2003
compared with $.7 million in 2002. This decrease was due to a decrease in the
Company's average cash and cash equivalents and lower interest rates during 2003
compared to 2002.

Interest expense increased $5.6 million, or 39.7%, to $19.7 million in 2003
compared with $14.1 million in 2002. This is a result of: (a) a reduction in the
amount of $3.9 million in capitalized interest associated with the construction
of the ATB's during 2003; and (b) an increase in the amount of $1.9 million in
interest expense for amounts borrowed for vessel financings in 2003.

Minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries increased $1.1 million to
income of $1.7 million in 2003 compared with $.6 million in 2002. This increase
is due to a joint venture in which the Company held a 75% interest. In December
2003, the Company acquired the remaining 25% of this joint venture after the
joint venture partner paid the Company $3.2 million to exit from the joint
venture. The total loss of the joint venture in 2003 was $7.8 million.

Income tax expense increased $.6 million, or 8.6%, to $7.6 million in 2003
compared with $7.0 million in 2002. The effective tax rate was 43.0% for 2003
and 30.7% for 2002. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to
a valuation reserve established in 2003 against certain losses related to the
sale of the Logistics operations in Venezuela.

As a result, net income attributable to common shareholders decreased $4.4
million to $11.2 million ($82.87 basic income per common share and $79.17
diluted income per common share) in 2003 compared with $15.6 million ($114.74
basic income per common share and $105.89 diluted income per common share) in
2002.

Liner Services

Operating revenues from our Liner Services segment increased $48.2 million,
or 9.1%, to $578.6 million in 2003 compared with $530.4 million in 2002. The
increase is primarily attributable to a 7.0% increase in container and
noncontainer volume and an increase of 102.4% in other logistical service
revenues. This increase was offset by a .2% decrease in average revenue. The
average revenue decrease was a result of competitive pressures in Latin America,
which was partially offset by rate increases from the Puerto Rico and Caribbean
Islands Service. The Company's container and noncontainer volume during 2003 and
2002 was 581,955 TEU's and 543,866 TEU's, respectively. The increase in other
logistical service revenues was primarily due to $13.6 million in revenues
earned from the acquisition of a transportation service provider purchased in
October 2002 and a transportation management company specializing in the apparel
industry purchased in July 2003.

Operating expenses increased $43.8 million, or 9.1%, to $527.2 million in
2003 compared with $483.4 million in 2002. An increase in container and
noncontainer volume resulted in an increase of $9.7 million in vessel and $23.1
million in non-vessel expenses. Vessel-related expenses consist primarily of
fuel, vessel maintenance and repairs, crew and charter costs and non-vessel
expenses consist primarily of costs for labor, facilities, purchased
transportation, terminal, port charges, equipment, and equipment maintenance and
repairs. An increase of $12.6 million in other logistical service expenses was
due to increased expenses associated with the purchase of a transportation
service provider and a transportation management company specializing in the
apparel industry.

Depreciation and amortization increased $3.2 million, or 45.1%, to $10.3
million in 2003 compared with $7.1 million in 2002. The increase was directly
attributable to an increase in dry-dock amortization of $2.9 million. Liner
Services amortized dry-dock costs for six vessels in 2003 compared with four
vessels in 2002. There was also an increase of $.6 million in amortization of
management contracts and customer lists from the purchase of a transportation
services provider and a transportation management company specializing in the
apparel industry.

Asset charges (recoveries), net increased $1.6 million to a recovery of
$1.0 million in 2003 compared with a charge of $.6 million in 2002. Gains of
$1.0 million resulted from the disposals of two vessels and equipment during
2003. Liner Services recorded an impairment charge of $.8 million on two vessels
which was offset by recoveries on equipment disposals of $.2 million in 2002.

As a result, the operating income from Liner Services increased $2.7
million to $20.9 million in 2003 compared with $18.2 million in 2002.

Ship Assist and Escort Services

Operating revenues from our Ship Assist and Escort Services segment
increased $3.2 million, or 4.5%, to $73.7 million in 2003 compared with $70.5
million for 2002. The increase was directly attributable to: (a) a $1.3 million
increase in rates which included a fuel surcharge to cover rising fuel prices;
(b) an increase in tanker volumes in the Puget Sound, Washington that resulted
in a $.9 million increase in revenues; and (c) an increase in utilization in
Valdez, Alaska that resulted in a $.5 million increase in revenues. Overall
vessel utilization rates were 72% compared with 73% during 2003 and 2002,
respectively.

Operating expenses increased $6.7 million, or 12.2%, to $61.8 million in
2003 compared with $55.1 million during 2002. The increase was directly
attributable to: (a) a $4.6 million increase in vessel-related costs, such as
crew, fuel and repairs and maintenance costs; and (b) a $1.8 million increase in
property taxes.

As a result, operating income from Ship Assist and Escort Services
decreased $3.9 million to $9.7 million in 2003 compared with $13.6 million in
2002.

Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services

Operating revenues from our Oil and Chemical Distribution and
Transportation Services segment decreased $25.0 million, or 9.2%, to $245.6
million in 2003 compared with $270.6 million for 2002. The

31

decrease was directly attributable to: (a) a $22.8 million decrease in revenues
caused by the sale of MTL Petrolink Corp. on May 15, 2002; and (b) a $39.2
million decrease in revenues due to the absence in 2003 of certain vessels,
either due to sale or drydocking, that were in service during 2002. This
decrease was partially offset by: (a) an $8.3 million increase in revenues as
the result of higher prices for direct sales of fuel; (b) $4.3 million of
additional revenues caused by higher demand for oil transportation activities on
the United States west coast; (c) a $20.6 million increase in revenues caused by
the operation of three ATB's placed in service during the third and fourth
quarters of 2002 and one ATB placed in service during the second quarter of
2003; and (d) a $4.0 million increase in revenues from the activation of the
ready-reserve vessels managed for the United States Government for the war in
Iraq. Overall vessel utilization increased to 69% in 2003 compared to 67% in
2002.

Operating expenses decreased $33.9 million, or 13.8%, to $211.5 million
during 2003 compared with $245.4 million during 2002. This decrease was
primarily attributable to: (a) $23.0 million in expenses which were not incurred
due to the sale of MTL Petrolink Corp. in 2002; (b) a $24.2 million decrease in
expenses from a decrease in vessels not in service because they were sold or
dry-docked; and (c) a $4.0 million decrease due to the activation of the
ready-reserve vessels managed for the United States Government in which certain
costs were reimbursable by the United States Government. The decrease was
partially offset by: (a) an increase of $6.3 million in the cost of fuel
purchased for resale as a result of an increase in fuel prices; and (b) an
increase of $7.8 million from the operation of three ATB's placed in service
during 2002 and one ATB placed in service in 2003.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $4.5 million, or 28.1%, to $11.5
million during 2003 compared with $16.0 million during 2002. The decrease was
directly attributable to a decrease in depreciation of $4.7 million, of which
$4.5 million was the result of lower depreciation from the sale of vessels. This
decrease was partially offset by an increase in dry-dock amortization for
vessels of $.7 million. Dry-dock costs were amortized for four vessels during
2003 and three vessels during 2002.

Asset charges (recoveries), net increased $2.2 million to a recovery of
$1.8 million in 2003 as compared with charges of $.4 million in 2002. These
gains resulted from the sale of three vessels and land during 2003. During 2002,
three vessels were sold for a loss of $.1 million; and one vessel was destroyed
by fire, resulting in a gain net of incurred costs from involuntary conversion
of $3.9 million. In 2002, an agreement was reached to sell a vessel in 2003. An
impairment analysis was performed which resulted in a charge of $4.2 million in
2002.

As a result, the operating income from Oil and Chemical Distribution and
Transportation Services increased $16.6 million to $18.1 million in 2003
compared with $1.5 million for 2002.

Energy and Marine Services

Operating revenues from our Energy and Marine Services segment decreased
$18.4 million, or 20.8%, to $70.2 million in 2003 compared with $88.6 million
for 2002. The decrease was directly attributable to: (a) an $18.5 million
reduction from the revenues earned from the vessel outfitting and mobilization
and the transportation of oil exploration cargo to Sakhalin Island, Russia; and
(b) a $7.8 million reduction from reduced government and commercial contract
activity on the west coast of the United States. This decrease was partially
offset by an increase of $8.0 million from increased vessel activity in the Gulf
of Mexico. Overall vessel utilization increased to 46% in 2003 compared to 45%
in 2002. Vessel utilization in this segment is impacted by oil exploration
activity and general economic conditions and tends to be very volatile.

Operating expenses increased $2.1 million, or 2.1%, to $103.1 million
during 2003 compared with $101.0 million in 2002. The increase was directly
attributable to: (a) increased mobilization and outfitting costs of $2.4 for
vessels moving to the Gulf of Mexico; and (b) increases of $5.7 million in
vessel-related costs, primarily due to increased crew, repairs and maintenance,
and insurance costs on tugs and barges in 2003. The increase was partially
offset by a reduction of $6.1 million for one-time outfitting charges in 2002
and reduced activity in 2003 related to the Sakhalin Island, Russia project.

Depreciation and amortization increased $.7 million, or 6.1%, to $12.2
million during 2003 compared with $11.5 million during 2002. The increase was
the result of a $.3 million catch-up in depreciation for a

32

reactivated vessel that was previously classified as held for sale and $.5
million of depreciation on vessel refurbishments completed in 2002.

Asset recoveries, net increased $1.8 million to a recovery of $2.6 million
in 2003 as compared with $.8 million in 2002. These gains resulted from $2.9
million from the sale of five vessels and land improvements, which were
partially offset by $.3 million for a writedown of vessel improvements during
2003. During 2002, two vessels and land were sold for a gain of $1.2 million,
and five vessels were classified as held for sale and an impairment loss of $.4
million was recognized.

As a result, the operating loss from Energy and Marine Services increased
$15.6 million to a loss of $13.5 million for 2003 compared with income of $2.1
million for 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following schedule summarizes contractual obligations and other
contractual commitments as of December 31, 2004:

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

(1) The Company has contracts with fuel suppliers where the Company has agreed
to purchase approximately 825 barrels of fuel during 2005, at market value.
One of the contracts may be extended for an additional year, subject to
mutual agreement between the Company and the supplier. The Company purchased
approximately 931 barrels of fuel at a market price of $50.4 million during
2004 under these contracts. The estimated value of the fuel to be purchased
in 2005 is approximately $44.6 million based on the average price of fuel
purchased during 2004. The Company may negotiate a greater or lesser
quantity of fuel if future business conditions change. The Company has
designated these contracts as a normal purchase and not as hedges for
financial statement purposes as the Company has not agreed to the price of
the fuel.

(2) Other contractual commitments are related to remaining spending on the
construction of two vessels, leasehold improvements under an operating
lease, software maintenance agreements and minimum rail transportation for
the shipment of operating equipment.

LIQUIDITY

The Company's ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from its need
to fund working capital, to acquire, construct, or improve equipment, to make
investments and to service debt. Management believes that cash flows from
operations and borrowings will provide sufficient working capital to fund the
Company's operating needs and to finance capital expenditures during the next
twelve months. In 2004 and previous years, the Company has used Title XI
financing for the acquisition, construction and improvement of vessels. As of

33

December 31, 2004, the repayment of approximately $194.6 million of the
Company's outstanding indebtedness is guaranteed by the United States government
pursuant to Title XI. Management believes that funds needed for the acquisition
and construction of vessels will continue to be available through Title XI and
bank financing. In addition, the Company has generated significant proceeds from
the disposition of certain assets and believes that additional proceeds will be
generated as it sells older assets and continues to modernize its fleet.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of
$142.9 million compared with $158.8 million at December 31, 2003. The Company
generated $73.2 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 $73.0 million of cash.

The Company used $34.4 million of cash for investing activities 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 four 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
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 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 $10.1 million in 2004. In
February 2004, the Company sold its Logistics operations based in Venezuela for
$1.5 million. As further discussed in Note 2 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.

On March 30, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a $2.5
million loan to be extended to a newly formed Employee Stock Ownership Plan
("ESOP") sponsored by the Company. It is anticipated that the loan will be made
to the ESOP late in the second quarter of 2005. The loan will have a term of 10
years and will be repaid by the ESOP through contributions made from time to
time by the Company to the ESOP on an annual basis. The committee administering
the ESOP will determine the other terms of the loan. The ESOP will purchase
shares of Common Stock from the Company or from existing stockholders in order
to enable employee participants to share in the growth and prosperity of the
Company and to facilitate employee retention through the provision of a new
retirement benefit.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of December 31, 2004, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet
arrangements as defined by Item 303(a)(4) of Securities and Exchange Commission
Regulation S-K.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management plans to continue its efforts to modernize the Company's fleet
of vessels. Many of the tugs and barges and a number of the tankers used in Oil
and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services are more than two-thirds
through their estimated useful lives. Federal regulations currently require the
phase-

34

out of single hull oil barges and of single hull tankers. Two of the Company's
barges will be retired between 2005 and 2006. In addition, nineteen of the
Company's single hull oil barges will be retired between 2010 and 2015.
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
regulations.

On June 3, 2004, the Company entered into a contract with V.T. Halter
Marine Inc. ("Halter") for the construction of two articulated tug/barge units.
Each of the units will be capable of carrying 180,000 barrels of refined
product. The aggregate cost of constructing the two vessels is expected to be
approximately $85.4 million (including the cost of owner furnished equipment).
The Company also has an option to purchase two additional units from Halter.
Both units currently under construction are expected to be delivered in 2006.
Upon their delivery, the Company intends to deploy these units in the United
States coastwise trade.

For information concerning our debt, including our revolving credit
agreement and certain borrowings which we made in 2004, see Note 12 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data."

The Company has entered into a definitive agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement"), dated as of July 9, 2004 and effective from and after July 20,
2004, to purchase from Northland Fuel LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
("Northland"), and Yukon Fuel Company, an Alaska corporation ("YFC"), a marine
and land-based refined petroleum products distribution business conducted by
Northland and YFC in Western Alaska (the "Business"). Pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, the Company also agreed to purchase from: (a) Northland Vessel
Leasing Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("NVLC"), certain
barges and other vessels used in the Business; and (b) Yutana Barge Lines, LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company ("Yutana"), certain assets used in the
Business. The aggregate purchase price payable at closing by the Company
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the agreement between the Company and
Yutana is $52.2 million plus an amount equal to net working capital (including
fuel inventory) determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. Net
working capital is estimated to range between approximately $10 million and $25
million. In addition, closing is conditioned upon the Consent Decree (as defined
below) becoming final (which will not occur earlier than 60 days after its
filing with the Court (as defined below)) and the Court's approval of the
Consent Decree.

On July 13, 2004, the Company, together with Northland, YFC, NVLC and
Yutana (collectively, the "Sellers"), entered into a Consent Decree with the
State of Alaska (the "Consent Decree"), which settles a lawsuit filed on July
20, 2004, by the Alaska Attorney General against the Company and the Sellers in
the Superior Court for the State of Alaska, Second Judicial District at Nome
(the "Court"). The Consent Decree was filed with the Court on July 23, 2004. The
Alaska Attorney General alleges in the lawsuit that the transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement violate the antitrust laws of the State
of Alaska and the United States. Pursuant to the Consent Decree, the Company
agreed, among other things, to: (a) provide approximately 4,000,000 gallons of
tank farm storage capacity located in Bethel, Alaska to Delta Western, Inc.
("DW") for up to 10 years (with options to extend); (b) sell certain tugs,
barges and related assets to DW to enable DW to distribute petroleum products on
the coastal areas and river systems in Alaska; and (c) grant options to DW to
acquire and/or lease certain real property located in Bethel, Alaska. In
addition, the Consent Decree contains provisions that restrict the ability of
the Company to: (a) acquire any of the assets it divests pursuant to the Consent
Decree; and (b) dispose of the tank farms it operates in Bethel, Alaska. The
sixty day public comment period has expired, and comments ("verified
exceptions") were filed by certain of the plaintiffs, the City of Bethel, Alaska
and several others in the aforementioned lawsuit. The Court has ordered the
Attorney General to turn over parts of his investigative file to certain of
those who filed exceptions. The Attorney General has filed a petition in the
Alaska Supreme Court seeking to have the Court's order overturned, and the
Company has joined in that request. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the
petition to review the lower court's ruling ordering the Attorney General to
turn over parts of its investigative files and has set April 14, 2005, for oral
argument on the matter. Once this issue is resolved, the Court will hold a
hearing on the Consent Decree. Due to the judicial issues being raised before
the Supreme Court of Alaska, it is currently uncertain when the hearing on the
Consent Decree will be held and when the transaction will close.

35

We are hopeful that the judicial proceedings will be addressed promptly and we
will be in a position to close during the second or third quarter of 2005.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

For information concerning our restrictive covenants see Note 12 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data."

TRANSACTIONS WITH SPECIAL PURPOSE 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 $40.0 million in cash; and
(b) a note receivable for $9.0 million. After considering certain
characteristics of the note receivable, it was subsequently recorded at its
estimated net realizable value of $3.0 million. 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 $25.0 million from the VIE after
the VIE borrowed certain additional amounts from its lenders. Of the
approximately $25.0 million which was accounted for as debt, $14.4 million 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 $1.5 million, 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 $1.5 million used for that payment was donated to the Foundation by MTC just
before it was invested by the Foundation in the VIE. Because the $1.5 million
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 $.4
million, net of a $.3 million deferred tax benefit, ($3.10 basic earnings per
common share and $2.59 diluted earnings per common share) was recorded in 2003.

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 $.5
million; and (ii) cancellation of the 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 $15.3 million 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 $2.0
million 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

36

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 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 $20.8 million 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 $10.4 million; and
(b) sold the vessel to an unrelated third party at a gain of approximately $.3
million.

This vessel represented a component of the Company, as defined by SFAS 144,
whose operations and cash flows are eliminated from the ongoing operations of
the Company and the Company had no continuing involvement in the operations of
the vessel after it was sold. Therefore, the vessel and its related operations,
including the operations of the VIE, have been classified as discontinued
operations and prior year consolidated financial statements have been restated.
For additional discussion of the VIE, refer to Note 2 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 in the current or foreseeable future. Inflation has a
moderate impact on operating expenses, including fuel, dry-docking expenses and
corporate overhead. Refer to Risk Factors included in "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".

RISK FACTORS

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, 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.

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

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

Economic and political factors can affect fuel prices. The Company's
operations may be impacted due to the timing and our ability to pass these
changes in fuel prices to our customers.

37

ENERGY AND MARINE SERVICES ARE FREQUENTLY PROVIDED FOR DISCRETE PROJECTS

Energy and 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 operating
revenues and operating income in one fiscal year may represent an immaterial
portion of revenues in subsequent fiscal years.

THE COMPANY FACES INTENSE COMPETITION THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT ITS ABILITY
TO INCREASE MARKET SHARE AND ITS REVENUES

Our businesses operate in highly competitive industries. These intense
levels of competition could reduce our revenues, increase our expenses and
reduce our profitability.

In addition to price, service, experience and reputation, important
competitive factors include safety record, ability to meet the customer's
schedule, customers' 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.

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 have 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 position. The Company cannot predict whether it will incur such costs
or penalties in the future.

OIL AND CHEMICAL DISTRIBUTION AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES DEPLOYS A NUMBER OF
BARGES WHICH, IN THEIR PRESENT CONDITION, WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO CARRY
PETROLEUM PRODUCTS IN UNITED STATES WATERS AS OF CERTAIN DATES OCCURRING OVER
THE NEXT ELEVEN YEARS

In the event that the Company is not able to replace or rebuild those
barges which it currently uses to carry petroleum products, it could become
impossible for Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services to
continue to transport petroleum products at current levels for its current
customers between ports in the United States. Should this occur, it could have a
substantial negative impact on the profitability of Oil and Chemical
Distribution and Transportation Services.

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.

38

THE COMPANY IS A DEFENDANT IN NUMEROUS ASBESTOS-RELATED LAWSUITS

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 18 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.

INSURANCE COVERAGE MAY NOT PROTECT THE COMPANY FROM ALL OF THE LIABILITIES
THAT COULD ARISE FROM THE RISKS INHERENT IN ITS BUSINESSES

The Company maintains insurance coverage against the risks related to its
operations. There can be no assurance, however, that its existing insurance
coverage can be renewed at commercially reasonable rates or that available
coverage will be adequate to cover future claims. If a loss occurs that is
partially or completely uninsured, 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 petrochemical 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.

THE COMPANY IS HEAVILY DEPENDENT ON UNIONIZED LABOR

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, 2004, approximately
65% of the Company's employees were members of unions. A protracted strike or
similar action by a union could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations or financial condition.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS ON TERMS
FAVORABLE TO THE COMPANY

The Company has collective bargaining agreements with 13 different unions.
These agreements will expire through 2008. There is no assurance that we will be
able to negotiate new collective bargaining agreements on terms favorable to the
Company upon expiration of the agreements. If the Company is not able to
negotiate favorable terms, it may be at a competitive disadvantage.

39

THERE ARE CERTAIN RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

Substantial amounts of our operating revenues are derived from our foreign
operations. (See Note 20 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.

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.

OTHER BUSINESS RISKS

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

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 interdealer 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, 2005, 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, 2005. 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

40

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 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
("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 Company and applicable taxes. 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.

Following the death of Mrs. Molly M. Crowley, 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. Essentially, 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 otherwise might have to be sold to a third party to pay applicable estate
taxes.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET 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 14 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 was 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.

41

The following table provides information about the Company's non-trading
financial instruments sensitive to changes in interest rates at December 31,
2004. 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.

The Company's market risk exposure has not changed materially since
December 31, 2004.

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, 2004
and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2004. 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 position of Crowley Maritime Corporation
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2004, 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, present fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Crowley Maritime Corporation, operating through its subsidiaries (the
"Company"), is a diversified transportation company with global operations. The
Company is comprised of four principal business segments: Liner Services; Ship
Assist and Escort Services; Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation
Services; and Energy and Marine Services. The Liner Services segment consists of
scheduled common carrier services and logistics services. The Ship Assist and
Escort Services segment provides ship assist, tanker escort, docking and related
services. The Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services segment
uses vessels for the carriage of crude oil, petroleum products and chemicals.
This segment also owns and/or operates four tank farms and provides vessel
management services to third parties. The Energy and Marine Services segment
provides specialized services to companies engaged, on a worldwide basis, in the
exploration, production and distribution of oil and gas. The Company operates in
the United States, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, Russia, and other
international markets.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crowley
Maritime Corporation and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant
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, and Chairman of
the Board of Directors and principal shareholder, 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 have been
reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. As discussed in Note
4, the Company has reported discontinued operations in 2004. Accordingly, the
prior year consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto have been
reclassified to reflect discontinued operations.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid securities primarily invested in
overnight repurchase agreements with original maturities of three months or less
to be cash equivalents. These securities are stated at cost, which approximates
fair value.

INVENTORY

Resale fuel and parts and supplies inventories are stated at lower of cost
or market. Cost is determined based on the average cost method. Provisions for
obsolete inventory are based on management's analysis of inventory levels and
future usage of parts and supplies inventory.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003 AND 2002
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

GOODWILL

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") 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the
Company no longer amortizes goodwill but is required to annually evaluate
goodwill for impairment. The Company identified no impairment as a result of its
evaluation of goodwill during 2004, 2003 and 2002. 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.

INTANGIBLES

Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method
over the terms of the related financing. The weighted average amortization
period for deferred financing costs is 17 years. Non-compete agreements and
customer lists are amortized over 5 years. 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 for
which the intangible is related.

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.

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 16. 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. These assets are classified as prepaid assets for the current
portion of deferred compensation and as other assets for the long-term portion
of deferred compensation.

DRY-DOCKING

Dry-docking costs for major vessels are deferred and amortized over the
estimated period between dry-dockings. Dry-docking inspections are required
generally every two to three years for regulatory purposes to demonstrate that a
vessel meets standards established by the U.S. Coast Guard and the American
Bureau of Shipping. Amortization expense of the dry-docking costs was $17,356,
$8,912 and $6,040 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, 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 ratably over each voyage by load and discharge port. The
Company's logistics services and Ship Assist and Escort Services are recognized
as services are provided. Revenues from the Oil and Chemical Distribution and
Transportation Services and Energy and Marine Services are recognized ratably
over the length of the contract. Estimated losses are recognized at the time
such losses become evident. Costs related to the shipment of goods under
long-term contracts are expensed as incurred.

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 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.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income
attributable to common shareholders 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 income 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. 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. Any related claim receivables are
recorded when it is determined the insured events are collectible. The
determinations of such estimates and the establishment of the self-insurance
reserves are continually reviewed and updated; however, the actual provisions
and claims receivable have not differed materially from accrued estimated
amounts. Any

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003 AND 2002
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

adjustments resulting from these reviews are reflected in current operations.
The Company discounted its workers compensation and protection and indemnity
reserves at the risk-free rate of 3.61% as of December 31, 2004.

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.
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 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 $595 and $567 as
an adjustment to interest expense in 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, revenues, expenses, and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets -- An Amendment of APB Opinion No.
29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions" ("SFAS 153"). SFAS 153 is
effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning
after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset
exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date of issuance. The
provisions of SFAS 153 shall be applied prospectively. We do not expect the
adoption of SFAS 153 will have a material impact on the Company's financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

In September 2004, the FASB issued Emerging Issue Task Force ("EITF")
04-10, Applying Paragraph 19 of FASB Statement No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" in Determining Whether to
Aggregate Operating Segments that Do Not Meet the Quantitative Thresholds. The
Company has evaluated this EITF and has determined that there is no effect on
the reportable segments included in the Company's consolidated financial
statements.

NOTE 2 -- 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 the 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

53

CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003 AND 2002
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

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 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 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Board ("SFAS") 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 year 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 3 -- ACQUISITIONS AND SALES OF BUSINESSES

In May 2002, the Company sold all of the outstanding common stock of MTL
Petrolink Corp. for $18,638. The Company decided to sell MTL Petrolink Corp.
subsequent to its acquisition of MTC in February 2001. In its allocation of the
purchase price of MTC, the Company made no effort to separately determine the
fair value of MTL Petrolink Corp. The Company recorded the excess of the sales
price, net of selling costs, over the net asset value of MTL Petrolink Corp. as
a purchase price adjustment resulting in a reduction to goodwill in the amount
of $3,345. Included in the selling price of MTL Petrolink Corp. is a $500 escrow
deposit which was received during 2003. This amount, net of income taxes of
$189, also reduced goodwill.

In October 2002, the Company purchased the assets of a transportation
services provider for $2,986. 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. These acquisitions are included in our Liner
Services segment. The purchase price of these acquisitions 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, 2003 and 2002, are presented as if the above acquisitions and sales
had been completed on January 1, 2002. 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 sales, 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.

NOTE 4 -- DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As discussed in Note 2, a vessel representing a component of the Company
was disposed of in November 2004.

In December 2003, the Company approved a plan to sell the Logistics
operations of its Liner Services segment in Venezuela. 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 during the
second and fourth quarters of 2004 its net liabilities and recorded income in
the amounts of $591 and $275 of its South America discontinued operations,
respectively. Furthermore, in the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company recorded
income of $4,021 as a result of reaching an agreement in principle to sell
operating equipment in 2005 to the party currently subleasing the operating
equipment. The income recognized represented accrued liabilities that are no
longer appropriate as a result of this agreement.

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 6 -- RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTY

The Company has entered into a Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreement
("Agreement") with the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of
the Board, and principal shareholder (the "Employee") whereby the Company paid
the premiums on twelve life insurance policies ("Policies") of the Employee and
a related Director prior to 2003. Upon death of the insureds, the Company will
receive the total paid for premiums under the policies, net of certain payments
made by or on behalf of the Employee. If the

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

Company and the Employee terminate the Agreement, 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 of $11,177 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. Net premiums paid in 2002
were $2,700.

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.

NOTE 7 -- DIRECTORS LIFE INSURANCE

In December 2003, the Company purchased life insurance policies which
insure the life of a member of the Board of Directors. The Company is the owner
and beneficiary of the policies. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the cash

NOTE 10 -- ASSET CHARGES (RECOVERIES), NET

The components of asset charges (recoveries), net for the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 are as follows:

In July 2002, a fire occurred in the engine room of one of the Company's
tankers. As a result of the fire, the extensive damages caused by it and the
short remaining useful life of the vessel, management decided not to repair the
vessel. The Company received insurance proceeds based upon the damage to the
vessel caused by the fire. The net book value of the vessel was $2,009.
Accordingly, the Company's Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation
Services segment recognized a gain net of incurred costs from involuntary
conversion of $3,897.

The Company has certain vessels it has designated as surplus and has
implemented a plan to dispose of them. The Company evaluated the recoverability
of its carrying value of these vessels and as a result recorded a write down of
$1,206 and $5,487 in 2004 and 2002, respectively. The net book value of these
vessels at December 31, 2004 is $10,252.

NOTE 11 -- LEASES AND LEASE COMMITMENTS

The Company leases and subleases vessels on both a time charter and
bareboat charter basis. It also leases and subleases terminals, office
facilities, and operating equipment. Certain of the Company's leases contain
various options for renewals and the ability to purchase the assets leased at
fair value.

Future minimum annual rental payments and receipts required under operating
leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one
year, excluding renewal options, as of December 31, 2004 are summarized as
follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003 AND 2002
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax for 2004, 2003 and
2002 at a rate of 35%, and the provision for federal, foreign, and state taxes
on income is as follows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002:

The net deferred income tax assets (liabilities) shown below, both current
and noncurrent, result from the tax effects of the following temporary
differences at December 31, 2004 and 2003:

The current deferred tax asset is classified as prepaid expenses and other
assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Under its agreement with the U.S. Government, the Company is allowed to
make deposits to the Capital Construction Fund ("CCF") of earnings and gains
from qualified operations without payment of federal taxes.

62

CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003 AND 2002
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

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. Any withdrawals of funds for purposes other than those permitted will
result in a taxable event, equivalent to the statutory tax rate. The Company has
$4,942 of restricted CCF Funds at December 31, 2004 which is classified in Other
Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. 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, 2004, 2003
and 2002, 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 approximately $14,000, $16,000 and $19,000, respectively.

The Company has alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of
approximately $889, which have no expiration date, available to offset future
federal taxes.

Valuation allowances have been recorded against certain deferred tax
assets. Each item has been reviewed for expected utilization using a "more
likely than not" approach based on the character of the item, the associated
taxing jurisdiction, the relevant history of the item, and identified actions
under the control of the Company.

NOTE 14 -- 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 cash held in the
Capital Construction Fund -- The Company places its temporary cash
investments with high credit quality financial institutions and, by
policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial
institution. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance
Sheet for these items approximate fair value at December 31, 2004 and
2003.

- 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 Sheet for trade receivables approximate fair value
at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

- 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, 2004, the estimated fair value of
the Company's debt, with a carrying value of $372,373 is $381,784. At
December 31, 2003, the estimated fair value of the Company's debt, with a
carrying value of $413,571 is $427,112.

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

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

NOTE 16 -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company contributes to Company and multi-employer pension plans
covering substantially all employees. 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%.

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 years' contribution
may be distributed, at the participant's election, upon

becoming 100% vested, at attainment of age 65 or upon retirement. Contributions
are placed in an irrevocable trust available only to the participants and the
Company's creditors.

The Company also 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 fair value, as determined by
an independent appraisal. No contributions were made during the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. At December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the plan
held 9,063, 9,372 and 9,482 shares of common stock, respectively. All
participant accounts were vested as of January 1, 2004. Distribution to
participants are made as soon as practicable following the participant's death,
disability retirement or termination of Company employment after attainment of
age 65. 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 Company 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 repurchase such shares for cash
equal to their fair market value determined as of the Valuation Date that
coincides with or immediately precedes the date of distributions.

The Company also sponsors the Stock Savings Plan ("SSP"), an employee stock
ownership plan which holds 4,579 shares of common stock at December 31, 2004,
all of which are fully vested. Participants in this plan have the option to sell
their stock to the Company at the common stock's marketable fair value, as
determined by an independent appraisal, upon termination of employment, death or
disability retirement. No contributions were made during the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002.

Pursuant to collective bargaining agreements with labor unions representing
the Company's sea-going personnel, contributions are also made to various
defined benefit and defined contribution pension and welfare plans, including
some multi-employer plans, in accordance with their terms.

Expenses included in operations under the Company's benefit plans are as
follows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002:

Effective January 1, 2005, the Company adopted 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. Substantially all employees of the Company, as defined
in the ESOP, who are scheduled to work at least 1,000 hours during each year of
employment, beginning January 1, 2005, are eligible to participate in the ESOP.
Participants become fully vested after five years, upon attaining age 65, upon
death, or upon termination by reason of disability. Contributions by the Company
may be paid in cash and/or shares of the Company's stock, as determined by the
Board of Directors. The ESOP does not allow for participant contributions. Cash
contributions to the ESOP may be used to purchase shares of Company stock from
any stockholder or the Company at fair value. Contributions are allocated to
participant accounts based on the ratio of participants' compensation to total
compensation for all ESOP participants. The ESOP may receive loans from the
Company to finance the acquisition of the Company's stock ("financed shares")
from the Company or an existing stockholder. Such loans are to be repaid by the
Company's contributions to the

ESOP, any dividends received on such Company stock and earnings attributable to
Company contributions. Any financed shares acquired by the ESOP shall be
allocated to the participants as payments on the loan are made. Upon a
distribution of Company stock and for the immediately succeeding sixty days and
for a period of sixty days after the new determination of fair value, such
shares of Company stock are subject to the Company's right to repurchase them
for cash equal to their fair value, determined as of the calendar year-end that
coincides with or immediately precedes the date of distributions. On March 30,
2005, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a $2.5 million loan to the
ESOP. It is anticipated that the loan will be made to the ESOP late in the
second quarter of 2005. The loan will have a term of 10 years and will be repaid
by the ESOP through contributions made from time to time by the Company to the
ESOP on an annual basis. The committee administering the ESOP will determine the
other terms of the loan.

NOTE 17 -- 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, 2004 and 2003 are approximately $4,399 and
$4,728, respectively. The estimated annual payments for future environmental
costs as of December 31, 2004 are as follows:

2005........................................................ $1,113
2006........................................................ 689
2007........................................................ 481
2008........................................................ 409
2009........................................................ 425
Thereafter.................................................. 1,282
------
$4,399
======

The actual provision for environmental costs have 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.

NOTE 18 -- 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, 2004, 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 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 Company and the director defendants filed a motion with the Delaware Court
of Chancery seeking dismissal of the lawsuit. The Company believes that the
lawsuit is without merit.

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 were transferred to
the United States District Court for the Eastern Division of Pennsylvania for
pretrial processing. On May 1, 1996, Judge Charles R. Weiner administratively
dismissed the cases subject to reinstatement in the future. At present, it is
not known when or how long the process will require. Approximately 35 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. It is not known whether Judge Weiner will be able to develop a plan
that will result in settlement of the cases. If he is unsuccessful, upon
reinstatement, the cases should be remanded to the Ohio and Michigan Federal
Courts.

In addition, the Company is a defendant in approximately 110 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.

The uncertainties of asbestos claim litigation make it difficult to
accurately predict the ultimate resolution of these claims. By their very
nature, civil actions relating to toxic substances vary according to the fact
pattern of each case, 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.
Accordingly, we cannot predict the eventual number of such cases or their final
resolution. The full impact of these claims and proceedings in the aggregate
continues to be unknown.

The Company has insurance coverage that reimburses it for a substantial
portion of the: (a) costs incurred defending against asbestos claims; and (b)
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

CROWLEY MARITIME CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

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, 2004, the Company has accrued $2,747 as its best estimate
of the potential liability and recorded a receivable from its insurance
companies of $1,166 related to the asbestos litigation described above.

The Company became aware of asbestos related litigation involving certain
cases filed in Northern California during the first quarter of 2004. These
claims were settled in late May 2004. 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 our insurance
companies. In October 2004, the Company submitted demand letters to its
insurance underwriters for settlement amounts and defense costs paid and in
November 2004, the Company filed suit against the insurance underwriters. The
case is currently in discovery. The Company intends to aggressively pursue the
resolution of these insurance claims.

While it is not feasible to accurately predict or determine the ultimate
outcome of all pending investigations and legal proceedings relating to asbestos
or toxic substances or provide reasonable ranges of potential losses with
respect to these matters, 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 some of these cases could have a material
adverse affect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, operating
results or cash flows.

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.

The Company has also entered into a contract for the construction of two
articulated tug/barge units. Each unit will be capable of carrying 180,000
barrels of refined product. The aggregate cost of constructing the two units is
expected to be approximately $85,440 (including the cost of owner furnished
equipment). Both units are expected to be delivered in 2006. Payments of
approximately $14,041 have been made through December 31, 2004.

The Company is also obligated under contractual commitments for leasehold
improvements under an operating lease, software maintenance agreements, and
minimum rail transportation for the shipment of operating equipment. Payments of
approximately $13,755, $9,848 and $5,713 were made under these commitments for
the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The future
payments under these commitments for the next five years as of December 31, 2004
are as follows:

=======

The Company is also receiving operating equipment during the first quarter
of 2005 for which it has received lease financing. The total commitment through
2011 for this equipment is $13,355.

The Company has contracts with fuel suppliers where the Company has agreed
to purchase approximately 825 barrels of fuel during 2005, at market value. One
of the contracts may be extended for an additional year, subject to mutual
agreement between the Company and the supplier. The Company purchased
approximately 931 barrels of fuel at a market price of $50,481 during 2004 under
these contracts. The estimated value of the fuel to be purchased in 2005 is
approximately $44,584 based on the average price of fuel purchased during 2004.
The Company may negotiate a greater or lesser quantity of fuel if future
business conditions change.

The Company has designated these contracts as a normal purchase and not as
hedges for financial statement purposes as the Company has not agreed to the
price of the fuel.

The Company provides diversified transportation services in domestic and
international markets by means of seven operating segments: Puerto Rico and
Caribbean Liner Service, Latin America Liner Service, Crowley Logistics, Ship
Assist and Escort Services, Petroleum Services, Marine Transport Corporation,
and Energy and Marine Services.

The Company has aggregated Puerto Rico and Caribbean Liner Service, Latin
America Liner Service and Crowley Logistics into one reportable segment called
Liner Services. The Company has also aggregated Petroleum Services and Marine
Transport Corporation into one reportable segment called Oil and Chemical
Distribution and Transportation Services. These operating segments are
aggregated based on their long-term financial performance, their products and
services and their class of customers being similar.

Liner Services 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 transportation
services including the carriage of containers, trailers, vehicles and oversized
cargo known as "NIT service", cargo on a door-to-door basis known as "intermodal
service", logistics, warehousing and distribution services, special cargo
handling, including the carriage of apparel, refrigerated or perishable goods
and hazardous materials, and vessel management services for third parties
including the United States Government. The Liner Services segment also provides
minor sub-assembly services to one or more of its customers.

Ship Assist and Escort Services segment provides ship assist, tanker
escort, docking and related services, and fire fighting, emergency towing and
oil spill response through contracts of affreightment, and voyage, time and
bareboat charters for periods ranging from a single voyage to long-term
arrangements.

Oil and Chemical Distribution and Transportation Services segment owns or
leases numerous vessels used for the carriage of crude oil, petroleum products
and chemicals. This segment also owns and/or operates four tank farms and
provides vessel management services to third parties for which it receives fees.

Energy and Marine Services segment provides specialized services to
companies engaged, on a worldwide basis, in the exploration, production and
distribution of oil and gas. These services are traditionally provided through
specialized marine transportation projects which use assets either owned by the
Company or chartered from the world market as needed. This segment also offers
turnkey project management for major infrastructure projects as well as
logistics and inventory control services for the oil and gas industry.

Other segment includes corporate services. Corporate services provides
accounting, legal, human resources, information technology, purchasing support,
insurance 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.

FOURTH QUARTER 2004 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:

In the fourth quarter of 2004, a vessel representing a component of the
Company was disposed of. Therefore, the vessel and its related operations have
been classified as discontinued operations. Refer to Note 2 for additional
information.

The Company also recorded income of $4,021 related to the Company's
discontinued South America operations. Refer to Note 4 for additional
information.

During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company completed a detailed
analysis of certain of its liabilities. As a result of this review the Company
recorded the following:

- a $1,900 increase to insurance claims reserves related to workers
compensation, asbestos claims and protection and indemnity self-insurance
of which $1,500 relates to prior years and $400 relates to prior quarters
of 2004; and

- a $1,200 decrease to compensation expense related to the accrual of a
contribution to an employee stock ownership plan during the first three
quarters of 2004 that was not implemented. 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.

The Company has evaluated the impact of these adjustments on the previously
issued audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited quarterly issued
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.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, including its principal executive officer (who is
the Chief Executive Officer) and the principal financial officer (who is the
Senior Vice President and Controller), have conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act")). Based on that evaluation, the Company's principal executive
officer and the principal financial officer concluded that, because of the
material weakness described below, such disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it
files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and forms.

As part of our management's evaluation of the effectiveness of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures and in connection with the audit of
our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, our
management and our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte &
Touche LLP, reported to our Audit Committee the identification of a "material
weakness" in our internal controls over financial reporting. A material weakness
is defined under Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No.
2 as a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of
the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the
risk of material misstatements caused by error or fraud in the amounts that
would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may
occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal
course of performing their assigned functions. The material weakness identified
in our internal controls during the fourth quarter of 2004 related to the timely
cut-off of certain accounts payable, insurance reserves and other accrued
expense items.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2004, we took the following steps to
address the issue identified as a material weakness and which we believe have
enhanced the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and
our disclosure controls and procedures:

- we developed procedures to appropriately record liabilities and expenses
that have not been recorded by the accounts payable system; and

- we developed methodologies to appropriately calculate and record our
reserves for workers compensation and protection and indemnity claims
which were incurred but not reported.

We completed the implementation of these changes to our system of internal
controls and our disclosure controls and procedures in the first quarter of 2005
and believe that these changes have addressed the material weakness that
affected our internal controls over financial reporting in fiscal year 2004. We
will continue with our on-going evaluation and will improve our internal control
over financial reporting as necessary to assure their effectiveness. However,
the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting is
subject to certain limitations, including the exercise of our judgment in
evaluating the same. As a result, there can be no assurance that our internal
controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors.

Other than the changes noted above, there have been no changes in the
Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection
with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act that
occurred during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.

The statements contained in Exhibit 31.1 and Exhibit 31.2 should be
considered in light of, and read together with, the information set forth in
this Item 9A.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION.

(1) On March 29, 2005, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer authorized, within the funding criteria approved by the
Company's Board of Directors, the payment of annual bonus awards for performance
during 2004 to each of the Company's executive officers whose annual
compensation is less than $1.0 million. The bonus awards are set forth in the
table below. A description of the bonus plan is set forth in Exhibit 10.17 to
this Form 10-K, which description is incorporated herein by reference.

William A. Pennella......................................... $120,000
Vice Chairman of the Board and
Executive Vice President
William P. Verdon........................................... $ 60,000
Senior Vice President and
General Counsel
Albert M. Marucco........................................... $ 27,000
Vice President and Treasurer
Richard L. Swinton.......................................... $ 23,925
Vice President, Tax & Audit(1)

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

(1) On January 7, 2005, Richard L. Swinton ceased to perform the functions of
the Company's principal financial officer and principal accounting officer
and, as a result, ceased serving as an executive officer of the Company.
However, Mr. Swinton continues to serve as the Company's Vice President of
Tax and Audit.

(2) On March 29, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors (the "Compensation Committee") reviewed and approved, within the
funding criteria approved by the Company's Board of Directors and after giving
appropriate weight to the recommendations submitted by the Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the payment of certain amounts of
deferred compensation for the year ended December 31, 2004 to each of the
Company's executive officers whose annual compensation is less than $1.0
million. The amounts of deferred compensation are set forth in the table below.

William A. Pennella......................................... $125,000
Vice Chairman of the Board and
Executive Vice President
William P. Verdon........................................... $ 85,000
Senior Vice President and
General Counsel
Albert M. Marucco........................................... $ 50,000
Vice President and Treasurer
Richard L. Swinton.......................................... $ 46,275
Vice President, Tax & Audit(1)

The amounts provided to fund the deferred compensation plan which applies
to the Company's executive officers whose annual compensation is less than $1.0
million are based upon: (i) the Company's financial performance, including
profitability, cash flow, and operating income as a percentage of revenue; (ii)
strategic decisions regarding the Company's long-term success and the
anticipated performance for the coming year; and (iii) maritime and general
industry salary surveys. Subject to modification based on individual performance
and achievement in each case, these factors will be used to determine the
payment of any deferred compensation for 2005 to the Company's executive
officers whose annual compensation is less than $1.0 million.

The Company's Board of Directors originally approved the Crowley Maritime
Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (the "DC Plan") effective as of March 17,
1994. The DC Plan was amended and restated as of January 1, 1997. Our
stockholders have not approved the DC Plan. The purpose of the DC Plan is to
provide deferred compensation to a select group of executive employees of the
Company, selected from time

76

to time by a compensation committee appointed by the Company's Board of
Directors, in recognition of such employees' future contributions to the Company
and its subsidiaries.

Under the DC Plan, the Company establishes a deferred compensation account
for each participant to reflect such participant's interest in the DC Plan.
Participants under the DC Plan elect one or more investment models made
available by the deferred compensation committee, which are the same as those
available under the Company's 401(k) plan, and the Company may, from time to
time and in its sole discretion, credit each participant's deferred compensation
account with such amounts as it may determine based upon the performance of the
investment models chosen by each participant. Under the DC Plan, deferred
compensation awards are paid in cash, at the irrevocable election of the
participant, on a date upon which the participant: (i) initially becomes 100%
vested in his or her account; (ii) attains age 65; or (iii) retires from Company
employment. Each participant becomes 100% vested in his or her account upon the
earlier to occur of: (i) the participant's attainment of age 65 while he or she
is a Company employee; (ii) the participant's retirement from Company employment
prior to attainment of age 65 with the approval of the compensation committee;
(iii) the termination of the participant's employment with the Company due to
his or her death or disability (as such term is defined under the Company's
long-term disability plan as then in effect); or (iv) the participant's
employment with the Company for five years (at a vesting rate of 20% per year).
A participant whose employment with the Company is terminated prior to his or
her full vesting permanently forfeits the unvested portion of his or her account
and the vested balance of the account is paid in cash as soon as practicable as
permitted by law after the date of termination.

The DC Plan is administered and interpreted by the Company, which has
delegated its delegable responsibilities under the DC Plan to the compensation
committee. The Company has also established and funded a trust to assist the
Company with the payment of benefits under the DC Plan.

(3) On March 29, 2005, the Executive Compensation Subcommittee of the
Company's Board of Directors (the "Subcommittee") approved, within the objective
funding criteria for cash bonuses paid pursuant to the Crowley Maritime
Corporation 2004 Management Incentive Plan (the "MIP"), the payment of an annual
bonus award for performance during 2004 to those executive officers of the
Company whose annual compensation is in excess of $1.0 million. The applicable
bonus award is set forth in the table below.

Thomas B. Crowley, Jr. ..................................... $610,685
Chairman of the Board,
