PART I

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
Matters discussed in this document may constitute forward-looking statements.  The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business.  Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.
 
California Petroleum Transport Corporation (the "Company") desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation.  This document and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance.  The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "plan," "potential," "will," "may," "should"  and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
 
The forward-looking statements in this document are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties.  Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.
 
In addition to these important factors and matters discussed elsewhere herein and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charterhire rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the tanker market, including changes in demand resulting from changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels and world wide oil consumption and storage, changes in the Company's operating expenses, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents or political events, and other important factors described from time to time in the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.





Item 1.  
Business
 
The Company
 
California Petroleum Transport Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware in 1995. We are a special purpose corporation organized solely for the purpose of issuing, as agent on behalf of the Owners (as defined below), $167,500,000 Serial First Preferred Mortgage Notes, or the Serial Notes, and $117,900,000 8.52% First Preferred Mortgage Notes due in 2015, which we refer to as the Term Notes and together with the Serial Notes as the Notes. The Serial Notes were fully repaid April 1, 2006. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes were applied by way of long-term loans, being Serial Loans in respect of the Serial First Preferred Mortgage Notes and Term Loans in respect of the First Preferred Mortgage Notes due in 2015, to the Owners to fund the acquisition of the four vessels (the "Vessels") described below in Item 2. from Chevron Transport Corporation, or Chevron. All of our shares were held by The California Trust, a Massachusetts charitable lead trust formed by JH Holdings, a Massachusetts corporation, for the benefit of certain charitable institutions in Massachusetts. On September 14, 2009, The California Trust transferred all of the Company's shares of common stock to GSS Holdings Boston, Inc. ("Holdings"), a Delaware corporation. Global Securitization Services, LLC ("GSS") a Delaware limited liability company, an affiliate of Holdings, provides management and administrative services to the Company.
 
Information about revenues, profits and total assets is provided in the financial statements included in this report.
 
We have no employees.

The Owners
 
Each of CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas I) Limited ("CalPetro Bahamas I"), CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas II) Limited ("CalPetro Bahamas II") and CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited ("CalPetro Bahamas III"), was organized as a special purpose company under the laws of the Bahamas for the purpose of acquiring and chartering one of the Vessels. Similarly, CalPetro Tankers (IOM) Limited ("CalPetro IOM") was organized as a special purpose company under the laws of the Isle of Man for the purpose of acquiring and chartering one of the Vessels.  Each of the foregoing companies is also referred to in this document as an "Owner". Each Owner will only engage in the business of the ownership and chartering of its Vessel in addition to activities resulting from or incidental to such ownership and chartering. Each Owner is a majority-owned subsidiary of Frontline Ltd. (NYSE:FRO) or Frontline, an Oslo, London and New York Stock Exchange listed Bermuda company. None of the Owners are owned by, or are affiliated with us and neither we nor any Owner is owned by or is an affiliate of Chevron.
 
The Charters
 
Three of the Vessels, the Cygnus Voyager, the Altair Voyager and the Sirius Voyager are currently chartered to Chevron under bareboat charters dated as of the date of the original issuance of the Notes (collectively, the "Chevron Charters") and are due to expire on April 1, 2015. The Front Voyager was chartered to Front Voyager Inc. under a bareboat charter (the "Front Voyager Charter") which expired on April 1, 2010 following the notice of termination from Front Voyager Inc. on January 5, 2010. A Memorandum of Agreement, dated March 15, 2010, was signed regarding the sale of Front Voyager and delivery to the buyers took place on April 8, 2010. We refer to the Chevron Charters and the Front Voyager Charter collectively as the Charters.
 
Under the Chevron Charters, Chevron could elect to terminate the charter on any of three termination dates occurring at two-year intervals that began in 2003, 2004 and 2006. Non-binding notice of Chevron's intention to terminate must be given one year prior to the termination date. Binding notice must be given seven months prior to the termination date. The final termination dates for each of the Chevron Charters has passed and Chevron did not give notice of termination. Consequently, the Chevron Charters will continue until April 1, 2015.
 
On April 21, 2005, one of the Owners, CalPetro Bahamas III received irrevocable notice from Chevron regarding the termination of its bareboat charter of the vessel Front Voyager pursuant to the terms of that charter and received from Chevron a termination fee in the amount of $5.05 million. On April 1, 2006, the Front Voyager was redelivered to its Owner who immediately delivered it to Front Voyager Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Frontline, to commence employment under the Front Voyager Charter for an initial two year period (the "Initial Period") which provided for prepaid charterhire of $5.05 million for the two years ended April 1, 2008. Front Voyager Inc. exercised options for two one year extensions and gave notice of termination on January 5, 2010 such that the charter terminated on April 1, 2010. As a result, Front Voyager Inc. paid a termination fee of $4.9 million to CalPetro Bahamas III. A Memorandum of Agreement, dated March 15, 2010, was signed regarding the sale of the Front Voyager for $8.3 million and delivery to the buyer occurred on April 8, 2010. Since the sale of

Front Voyager, CalPetro Bahamas III continues to operate but will not actively engage in any business other than in connection with ongoing corporate affairs.

The International Tanker Market

The market for international seaborne crude oil transportation services is highly fragmented and competitive. Seaborne crude oil transportation services are generally provided by two main types of operators: major oil company captive fleets (both private and state-owned) and independent shipowner fleets. In addition, several owners and operators pool their vessels together on an ongoing basis, and such pools are available to customers to the same extent as independently owned and operated fleets. Many major oil companies and other oil trading companies, the primary charterers of the vessels owned or controlled by the Owners, also operate their own vessels and use such vessels not only to transport their own crude oil but also to transport crude oil for third party charterers in direct competition with independent owners and operators in the tanker charter market. Competition for charters is intense and is based upon price, location, size, age, condition and acceptability of the vessel and its manager. Competition is also affected by the availability of other size vessels to compete in the trades in which the Owners engage.

The oil transportation industry has historically been subject to regulation by national authorities and through international conventions. Over recent years however, an environmental protection regime has evolved which could have a significant impact on the operations of participants in the industry in the form of increasingly more stringent inspection requirements, closer monitoring of pollution-related events, and generally higher costs and potential liabilities for the owners and operators of tankers.
 
In order to benefit from economies of scale, tanker charterers will typically charter the largest possible vessel to transport oil or products, consistent with port and canal dimensional restrictions and optimal cargo lot sizes.  The oil tanker fleet is generally divided into the following four major types of vessels, based on vessel carrying capacity:
 
Very large crude carriers "VLCC"- size range of approximately 200,000 to 320,000 dwt;
Suezmax-size range of approximately 120,000 to 200,000 dwt;
Aframax-size range of approximately 60,000 to 120,000 dwt; and
small tankers of less than approximately 60,000 dwt.

VLCCs typically transport crude oil in long-haul trades, such as from the Arabian Gulf to Rotterdam via the Cape of Good Hope.  Suezmax tankers also engage in long-haul crude oil trades as well as in medium-haul crude oil trades, such as from West Africa to the East Coast of the United States. Aframax-size vessels generally engage in both medium and short-haul trades of less than 1,500 miles and carry crude oil or petroleum products. Smaller tankers mostly transport petroleum products in short-haul to medium-haul trades.

The shipping industry is highly cyclical, experiencing volatility in profitability, vessel values and charter rates.  In particular, freight and charter hire rates are strongly influenced by the supply and demand for shipping capacity.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our capitalization is nominal and we have no source of income other than payments by the Owners who are foreign corporations as described above. As a result, we are exposed to the same risk factors affecting the Owners. The following summarizes the risks that may materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Our potential losses due to exposure to the following risk factors are difficult to quantify.


2



The Owners are highly dependent on Chevron and Chevron Corporation

The Owners are highly dependent on the performance by Chevron of its obligations under the Chevron Charters and by its guarantor, Chevron Corporation, of its obligations under its guarantee. A failure by Chevron and Chevron Corporation to perform their obligations under the Chevron Charters could result in the Owners' inability to service the Term Loans, defined below. If the holders of the Term Notes had to enforce the mortgages securing the Term Notes, they may not be able to recover the principal and interest owed to them.

The Owners may not be able to pay down their debt in the future

Currently, the Owners must dedicate a large portion of their cash flow from operations to satisfy their debt service obligations to us. Their ability to pay interest on, and other amounts due in respect of, the Term Loans will depend on their future operating performance, prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond their control. There can be no assurance that their cash flow and capital resources will be sufficient for payment of the Owners' indebtedness in the future. If the Owners are unable to service their indebtedness or obtain additional financing, as needed, this could have a material adverse effect on the holders of the Term Notes.
 
If the tanker industry, which historically has been cyclical and volatile, continues to be depressed or declines further in the future, the revenues, earnings and available cash flow of the Owners may be adversely affected

Historically, the tanker industry has been highly cyclical, with volatility in profitability, charter rates and asset values resulting from changes in the supply of, and demand for, tanker capacity. After reaching highs during the summer of 2008, charter rates for crude oil carriers fell dramatically in connection with the commencement of the global financial crisis and current rates continue to remain at relatively low levels compared to the rates achieved in the years preceding the global financial crisis. Fluctuations in charter rates and tanker values result from changes in the supply of and demand for tanker capacity and changes in the supply of and demand for oil and oil products. These factors may result in loss of revenues, increased costs and decreased cash flows to Chevron, which could impair Chevron's ability to make payments to the Owners under the Chevron Charters and could lead to a default in payment under the Term Loans by the Owners. The charter rates payable under any renewal or replacement charter the Owners enter into for the Vessels will depend on, among other things, economic conditions in the tanker market and we cannot guarantee that any renewal or replacement charter the Owners enter into will be sufficient to allow them to operate the Vessels profitably.
 
The factors that influence demand for tanker capacity include:
 
supply and demand for oil and oil products;
 
global and regional economic and political conditions, including developments in international trade, national oil reserve policies, fluctuations in industrial and agricultural production and armed conflicts;

regional availability of refining capacity;

environmental and other legal and regulatory developments;
 
the distance oil and oil products are to be moved by sea;
 
changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns, including changes in the distances over which tanker cargoes are transported by sea;
 
increases in the production of oil in areas linked by pipelines to consuming areas, the extension of existing, or the development of new, pipeline systems in markets the Owners may serve, or the conversion of existing non-oil pipelines to oil pipelines in those markets;

currency exchange rates;

weather and acts of God and natural disasters;

competition from alternative sources of energy and from other shipping companies and other modes of transport;

international sanctions, embargoes, import and export restrictions, nationalizations, piracy and wars; and

3




regulatory changes including regulations adopted by supranational authorities and/or industry bodies, such as safety and environmental regulations and requirements by major oil companies.

The factors that influence the supply of tanker capacity include:

current and expected purchase orders for tankers;

the number of tanker newbuilding deliveries;

any potential delays in the delivery of newbuilding vessels and/or cancellation of newbuilding orders;

the scrapping rate of older tankers;

the successful implementation of the phase-out of single hull tankers;

technological advances in tanker design and capacity;

tanker freight rates, which are affected by factors that may effect the rate of newbuilding, swapping and laying up of tankers;

port and canal congestion
 
price of steel and vessel equipment;
 
conversion of tankers to other uses of conversion of other vessels to tankers;

the number of tankers that are out of service; and

changes in environmental and other regulations that may limit the useful lives of tankers.
   
The factors affecting the supply and demand for tankers have been volatile and are outside of the Owners' control, and the nature, timing and degree of changes in industry conditions are unpredictable, including those discussed above. While market conditions have improved, continued volatility may reduce demand for transportation of oil over longer distances and increase supply of tankers to carry that oil, which may result in loss of revenues, increased costs and decreased cash flows to Chevron, which could impair Chevron's ability to make payments to the Owners under the Chevron Charters and could lead to a default in payment under the Term Loans by the Owners.
 
The international tanker industry has experienced volatile charter rates and vessel values and there can be no assurance that these charter rates and vessel values will return to their previous levels
 
Charter rates in the tanker industry are volatile. We anticipate that future demand for the Vessels, and in turn their future charter rates, will be dependent upon economic growth in the world's economies, as well as seasonal and regional changes in demand and changes in the capacity of the world's fleet. We believe the charter rates that were paid prior to 2008 were the result of economic growth in the world economies that exceeded growth in global vessel capacity. Since 2008 charter rates have been volatile, and there can be no assurance that economic growth will not stagnate or decline leading to a further decrease in vessel values and charter rates. In the event of a further decline in vessel values and charter rates, and should the Owners default on payment of the interest and principal on the Term Loans due to us, the value of collateral to the Term Loans may be insufficient to repay the Term Notes.
 
Any decrease in shipments of crude oil may adversely affect the Owners' financial performance

The demand for the Owners' oil tankers derives primarily from demand for Arabian Gulf, West African, North Sea and Caribbean crude oil, which, in turn, primarily depends on the economies of the world's industrial countries and competition from alternative energy sources. A wide range of economic, social and other factors can significantly affect the strength of the world's industrial economies and their demand for crude oil from the mentioned geographical areas. One such factor is the price of worldwide crude oil. The world's oil markets have experienced high levels of volatility in the last 25 years.


4



Any decrease in shipments of crude oil from the above mentioned geographical areas would have a material adverse effect on the Owners' financial performance. Among the factors which could lead to such a decrease are:

increased crude oil production from other areas;

increased refining capacity in the Arabian Gulf or West Africa;

increased use of existing and future crude oil pipelines in the Arabian Gulf or West Africa;

a decision by Arabian Gulf or West African oil-producing nations to increase their crude oil prices or to further decrease or limit their crude oil production;
 
armed conflict in the Arabian Gulf and West Africa and political or other factors; and
 
the development and the relative costs of nuclear power, natural gas, coal and other alternative sources of energy.
 
In addition, the continuing weak economic conditions affecting the United States and world economies may result in reduced consumption of oil products and a decreased demand for the Vessels and lower charter rates and may result in loss of revenues, increased costs and decreased cash flows to Chevron, which could impair Chevron's ability to make payments to the Owners under the Chevron Charters and could lead to a default in payment under the Term Loans by the Owners.

Acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels could adversely affect the Owners' business

Acts of piracy have historically affected ocean-going vessels trading in regions of the world such as the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean and in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia. Although the frequency of sea piracy worldwide decreased during 2013 to its lowest level since 2007, sea piracy incidents continue to occur, particularly in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia and increasingly in the Gulf of Guinea, with drybulk vessels and tankers particularly vulnerable to such attacks. If these piracy attacks result in regions in which the Vessels are deployed being characterized by insurers as "war risk" zones by insurers or Joint War Committee "war and strikes" listed areas, premiums payable for such coverage could increase significantly and such insurance coverage may be more difficult to obtain. In addition, crew costs, including costs which may be incurred to the extent Chevron employs onboard security guards, could increase in such circumstances. Chevron may not be adequately insured to cover losses from these incidents, which could have a material adverse effect on them. In addition, detention hijacking as a result of an act of piracy against the Vessels, or an increase in cost, or unavailability of insurance for the Vessels, may result in loss of revenues, increased costs and decreased cash flows to Chevron, which could impair Chevron's ability to make payments to the Owners under the Chevron Charters and could lead to a default in payment under the Term Loans by the Owners.
 
World events could affect the Owners' results of operations and financial condition
 
Continuing conflicts and recent developments in the Middle East and North Africa and the presence of United States and other armed forces in Afghanistan may lead to additional acts of terrorism and armed conflict around the world, which may contribute to further economic instability in the global financial markets. These uncertainties could also adversely affect the Owners' ability to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to them or at all. In the past, political conflicts have also resulted in attacks on vessels, a very large crude carrier not related to the Owners, mining of waterways and other efforts to disrupt international shipping, particularly in the Arabian Gulf region. Acts of terrorism and piracy have also affected vessels trading in regions such as the South China Sea and the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia.
 
Any of these occurrences, or the perception that any of the vessels owned by the Owners is a potential terrorist target, could have a material adverse impact on the Owners' business, financial condition and results of operations, which in turn could lead to defaults in payment of the Term Loans due to us.
 

If the Vessels call on ports located in countries that are subject to restrictions imposed by the U.S. or other governments, that could adversely affect the Owners' reputation and the market for the Owners' common stock

The Chevron Charters are bareboat charters and, from time to time, the Vessels may call on ports located in countries subject to sanctions and embargoes imposed by the U.S. government and countries identified by the United States government as state sponsors of terrorism, such as Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Syria. The U.S. sanctions and embargo laws and regulations vary in their application, as they do not all apply to the same covered persons or proscribe the same activities, and such sanctions and

5



embargo laws and regulations may be amended or strengthened over time. With effect from July 1, 2010, the U.S. enacted the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions Accountability and Divestment Act, or CISADA, which expanded the scope of the former Iran Sanctions Act. Among other things, CISADA expands the application of the prohibitions to non-U.S. companies, such as the Owners, and introduces limits on the ability of companies and persons to do business or trade with Iran when such activities relate to the investment, supply or export of refined petroleum or petroleum products. In addition, on May 1, 2012, President Obama signed Executive Order 13608 which prohibits foreign persons from violating or attempting to violate, or causing a violation of any sanctions in effect against Iran or facilitating any deceptive transactions for or on behalf of any person subject to U.S. sanctions. Any persons found to be in violation of Executive Order 13608 will be deemed a foreign sanctions evader and will be banned from all contacts with the United States, including conducting business in U.S. dollars. Also in 2012, President Obama signed into law the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, or the Iran Threat Reduction Act, which created new sanctions and strengthened existing sanctions. Among other things, the Iran Threat Reduction Act intensifies existing sanctions regarding the provision of goods, services, infrastructure or technology to Iran's petroleum or petrochemical sector. The Iran Threat Reduction Act also includes a provision requiring the President of the United States to impose five or more sanctions from Section 6(a) of the Iran Sanctions Act, as amended, on a person the President determines is a controlling beneficial owner of, or otherwise owns, operates, or controls or insures a vessel that was used to transport crude oil from Iran to another country and (1) if the person is a controlling beneficial owner of the vessel, the person had actual knowledge the vessel was so used or (2) if the person otherwise owns, operates, or controls, or insures the vessel, the person knew or should have known the vessel was so used. Such a person could be subject to a variety of sanctions, including exclusion from U.S. capital markets, exclusion from financial transactions subject to U.S. jurisdiction, and exclusion of that person's vessels from U.S. ports for up to two years.

On November 24, 2013, the P5+1 (the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia and China) entered into an interim agreement with Iran entitled the “Joint Plan of Action” (“JPOA”). Under the JPOA it was agreed that, in exchange for Iran taking certain voluntary measures to ensure that its nuclear program is used only for peaceful purposes, the U.S. and EU would voluntarily suspend certain sanctions for a period of six months. On January 20, 2014, the U.S. and E.U. indicated that they would begin implementing the temporary relief measures provided for under the JPOA. These measures include, among other things, the suspension of certain sanctions on the Iranian petrochemicals, precious metals, and automotive industries from January 20, 2014 until July 20, 2014.

Although we believe that the Owners have been in compliance with all applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations, and intend to maintain such compliance, there can be no assurance that the Owners will be in compliance in the future, particularly as the scope of certain laws may be unclear and may be subject to changing interpretations. Any such violation could result in fines, penalties or other sanctions that could severely impart our ability to access U.S. capital markets and conduct our business, and could result in some investors deciding, or being required, to divest their interest, or not to invest, in the Owners. In addition, certain institutional investors may have investment policies or restrictions that prevent them from holding securities of companies that have contracts with countries identified by the U.S. government as state sponsors of terrorism. The determination by these investors not to invest in, or to divest from, the Owners may adversely affect the market value of the Term Notes. Moreover, Chevron may violate applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations as a result of actions that do not involve the Owners or the Vessels, and those violations could in turn negatively affect the Owners' reputation and the market value of the Term Notes. Investor perception of the value of our Term Notes may also be adversely affected by the consequences of war, the effects of terrorism, civil unrest and governmental actions in these and surrounding countries.

Compliance with safety and other vessel requirements imposed by classification societies may be costly and could reduce the Owners' net cash flows and net income

The hull and machinery of every commercial vessel must be certified as being "in class" by a classification society authorized by its country of registry. The classification society certifies that a vessel is safe and seaworthy in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the country of registry of the vessel and the Safety of Life at Sea Convention.

A vessel must undergo annual surveys, intermediate surveys and special surveys. In lieu of a special survey, a vessel's machinery may be placed on a continuous survey cycle, under which the machinery would be surveyed periodically over a five-year period. The Owners expect the Vessels to be on special survey cycles for hull inspection and continuous survey cycles for machinery inspection. The Vessels are also required to be drydocked every two to three years for inspection of its underwater parts.

Compliance with the above requirements may result in significant expense. If any vessel does not maintain its class or fails any annual, intermediate or special survey, the vessel will be unable to trade between ports and will be unemployable, which could result in loss of revenues, increased costs and decreased cash flows to Chevron, which could impair Chevron's ability to make

6



payments to the Owners under the Chevron Charters and could lead to a default in payment under the Term Loans by the Owners.

We are subject to complex laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations, that can adversely affect the Owners' business, results of operations and financial condition at the expiration of the Charters

The Owners' operations will be subject to numerous laws and regulations, in the form of international conventions and treaties, national, state and local laws, and national and international regulations in force in the jurisdictions in which the Vessels operate or are registered, which can significantly affect the ownership and operation of the Vessel. These requirements include, but are not limited to, European Union regulations, the U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or OPA, the U.S. Clean Air Act, the U.S. Clean Water Act, the International Maritime Organization, or IMO, International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage of 1969, generally referred to as CLC, the IMO International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, the IMO International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships of 1973, generally referred to as MARPOL, the IMO International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea of 1974, generally referred to as SOLAS, the IMO International Convention on Load Lines of 1966 and the U.S. Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. Compliance with such laws and regulations, where applicable, may require installation of costly equipment or operational changes and may affect the resale value or useful lives of the Vessels. Compliance with such laws and regulations may require us to obtain certain permits or authorizations prior to commencing operations. Failure to obtain such permits or authorizations could materially impact the Owners' business results of operations and financial conditions by delaying or limiting the Owners' ability to accept charterers. The Owners may also incur additional costs in order to comply with other existing and future regulatory obligations, including, but not limited to, costs relating to air emissions including greenhouse gases, the management of ballast waters, maintenance and inspection, development and implementation of emergency procedures and insurance coverage or other financial assurance of the Owners' ability to address pollution incidents. Additionally, we cannot predict the cost of compliance with any new regulations that may be promulgated as a result of the 2010 BP plc Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. These costs could have a material adverse effect on the Owners' business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and the Owners' available cash.

The IMO adopted an International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, or the BWM Convention, in February 2004. The BWM Convention's implementing regulations call for a phased introduction of mandatory ballast water exchange requirements, to be replaced in time with mandatory concentration limits. The BWM Convention will not become effective until 12 months after it has been adopted by 30 states, the combined merchant fleets of which represent not less than 35% of the gross tonnage of the world's merchant shipping. To date, there has not been sufficient adoption of this standard for it to take force. However, Panama may adopt this standard in the relatively near future, which would be sufficient for it to take force. If mid-ocean ballast exchange is made mandatory, or if ballast water treatment requirements or options are instituted, the cost of compliance could increase for ocean carriers, and the costs of ballast water treatment may be material.

A failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in administrative and civil penalties, criminal sanctions or the suspension or termination of the Owners' operations. Environmental laws often impose strict liability for remediation of spills and releases of oil and hazardous substances, which could subject us to liability, without regard to whether the Owners were negligent or at fault. Under OPA, for example, owners, operators and bareboat charterers are jointly and severally strictly liable for the discharge of oil in U.S. waters, including the 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone around the United States. An oil spill could also result in significant liability, including fines, penalties, criminal liability and remediation costs for natural resource damages under other international and U.S. Federal, state and local laws, as well as third-party damages, including punitive damages, and could harm the Owners' reputation with current or potential charterers of the tankers. The Owners will be required to satisfy insurance and financial responsibility requirements for potential oil (including marine fuel) spills and other pollution incidents. Although the Owners' technical manager will arrange for insurance to cover the Vessels with respect to certain environmental risks, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be sufficient to cover all such risks or that any claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Owners' business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Extensive and changing environmental laws and other regulations, compliance with which may entail significant expenses including expenses for ship modifications and changes in operating procedures, affect the operation of the Vessels. Although the charterers are responsible for all operational matters and bears all these expenses during the term of the current Charters, these expenses could have an adverse effect on the Owners' business operations in the event the charterers fail to make a necessary payment.

If the Owners fail to comply with international safety regulations, the Owners may be subject to increased liability, which may adversely affect insurance coverage and may result in a denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports

7



 
The operation of the Vessels is affected by the requirements set forth in the IMO's International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and Pollution Prevention, or the ISM Code. The ISM Code requires shipowners, ship managers and bareboat charterers to develop and maintain an extensive "Safety Management System" that includes the adoption of a safety and environmental protection policy setting forth instructions and procedures for safe operation and describing procedures for dealing with emergencies. If the Owners fail to comply with the ISM Code, they may be subject to increased liability, may invalidate existing insurance or decrease available insurance coverage for the Vessels and such failure may result in a denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports.
 
Maritime claimants could arrest the Vessels, which could interrupt the Owners' cash flow
 
Crew members, suppliers of goods and services to the Vessels, shippers of cargo and other parties may be entitled to a maritime lien against the Vessels for unsatisfied debts, claims or damages. In many jurisdictions, a maritime lienholder may enforce its lien by "arresting" or "attaching" a vessel through foreclosure proceedings. The arrest or attachment of the vessel could result a loss of earnings for the related off-hire period, which would reduce the amounts available, if any, to pay the principal and interest on the Term Loans due to us.
 
Governments could requisition the Vessels during a period of war or emergency, resulting in a loss of earnings
 
The government of the registry of the Vessels could requisition for title or seize the Vessels. Requisition for title occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and becomes the owner. A government could also requisition the Vessels for hire. Requisition for hire occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and effectively becomes her charterer at dictated charter rates. Generally, requisitions occur during a period of war or emergency. Government requisition of the Vessels could result in loss of revenues, increased costs and decreased cash flows to Chevron, which could impair Chevron's ability to make payments to the Owners under the Chevron Charters and could lead to a default in payment under the Term Loans by the Owners.
 
The operation of tankers involves certain unique operational risks
 
The operation of tankers has unique operational risks associated with the transportation of oil. An oil spill may cause significant environmental damage, and a catastrophic spill could exceed the insurance coverage available. Compared to other types of vessels, tankers are exposed to a higher risk of damage and loss by fire, whether ignited by a terrorist attack, collision, or other cause, due to the high flammability and high volume of the oil transported in tankers.
 
If Chevron is unable to adequately maintain or safeguard the Vessels, it may be unable to prevent these events. Any of these circumstances or events could negatively impact the Owners' business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
The Owners may not have adequate insurance
 
Under the terms of the Charters, Chevron bears all risks associated with the operation of the Vessels including the total loss of the Vessels. However, we cannot assure holders of the Term Notes that Chevron will adequately insure against all risks. For example, a catastrophic spill could exceed Chevron's insurance coverage and have a material adverse effect on their financial condition. In addition, Chevron may not be able to procure adequate insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates in the future and Chevron cannot guarantee that any particular claim will be paid. In the past, new and stricter environmental regulations have led to higher costs for insurance covering environmental damage or pollution, and new regulations could lead to similar increases or even make this type of insurance unavailable. Furthermore, even if insurance coverage is adequate to cover losses, the Owners may not be able to timely obtain a replacement ship in the event of a loss.
 
Operational risks and damage to the Vessels could adversely impact the Owners' performance
 
The Vessels and their cargo will be at risk of being damaged or lost because of events such as marine disasters, bad weather and other acts of God, business interruptions caused by mechanical failures, grounding, fire, explosions and collisions, human error, war, terrorism, piracy and other circumstances or events. Changing economic, regulatory and political conditions in some countries, including political and military conflicts, have from time to time resulted in attacks on vessels, mining of waterways, piracy, terrorism, labor strikes and boycotts. These hazards may result in death or injury to persons, loss of revenues or property, the payment of ransoms, environmental damage, higher insurance rates, damage to the Owners' customer relationships and market disruptions, delay or rerouting.

If the Vessels suffer damage, they may need to be repaired at a drydocking facility. The costs of drydock repairs are unpredictable and may be substantial. During the duration of the Chevron Charters, Chevron may have to pay drydocking costs that its insurance does not cover at all or in full. The loss of revenues while the Vessels are being repaired and repositioned may adversely affect Chevron's business and financial condition. In addition, space at drydocking facilities is sometimes limited and not all drydocking facilities are conveniently located. Chevron or the Owners may be unable to find space at a suitable drydocking facility or the Vessels may be forced to travel to a drydocking facility that is not conveniently located relative to the Vessels' position. The loss of earnings while the Vessels are forced to wait for space or to travel to more distant drydocking facilities could result in loss of revenues, increased costs and decreased cash flows to Chevron, which could impair Chevron's ability to make payments to the Owners under the Chevron Charters and could lead to a default in payment under the Term Loans by the Owners.
 
The Term Notes may not be as liquid as other securities with established trading markets, which may affect the value of the Term Notes and your ability to trade them
 
The Term Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange and have no established trading market. Consequently, the Term Notes could trade at prices that may be higher or lower than their principal amount or purchase price, depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar notes and warrants, and our financial performance. The placement agents for the Term Notes currently make a market for them, but are not obligated to do so and may discontinue their market making activity at any time. In addition, their market making activity is subject to the limits imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We cannot assure you that an active trading market will exist for the Term Notes or that any market for the Term Notes will be liquid.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Business Strategy
 
California Petroleum
 
We were organized to issue, as agent on behalf of the Owners, the Notes and subsequently loan the proceeds of the sale to the Owners. Our only sources of funds with respect to the Notes are receipts of principal and interest on the related loans receivable from each Owner. General and administrative expenses comprising trustee fees, legal fees, agency fees and other costs incurred by us are billed to the Owners. The net result for the year is neither a gain nor a loss, the detail relating to such result is set forth in the Statement of Operations and Retained Earnings included herein.
 
The Owners

10



 
The Owners' strategy has been to acquire the Vessels and charter them to Chevron and Frontline under bareboat charters which are expected to provide:
 
(a)
charterhire payments which we and the Owners expect will be sufficient to pay, so long as the Charters are in effect:

i.
the Owners' obligations under the loans for acquiring the Vessels;

ii.
management fees and technical advisor's fees;

iii.
recurring fees and taxes; and

iv.
any other costs and expenses incidental to the ownership and chartering of the Vessels that are to be paid by the Owners.
  
(b)
termination payments sufficient to make sinking fund and interest payments on the Term Notes, to the extent allocable to the Vessel for which the related Charter has been terminated, for at least two years following any such termination, during which time the Vessel may be sold or rechartered; and
(c)
that the Vessels will be maintained in accordance with the good commercial maintenance practices required by the Charters; and to arrange for vessel management and remarketing services to be available in case any Charter is terminated by Chevron or Frontline, or any Vessel is for any other reason returned to the possession and use of the Owners.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of California Petroleum Transport Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the related statements of operations and retained earnings and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of California Petroleum Transport Corporation as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

California Petroleum Transport Corporation
Notes to Financial Statements

1.           DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
California Petroleum Transport Corporation (the "Company"), which is incorporated in Delaware, is a special purpose corporation that was organized solely for the purpose of issuing, as agent on behalf of CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas I) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas II) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited and CalPetro Tankers (IOM) Limited (each an "Owner" and, together the "Owners"), $167,500,000 Serial First Preferred Mortgage Notes, or the Serial Notes, and $117,900,000 8.52% First Preferred Mortgage Notes due in 2015, which we refer to as the Term Notes and together with the Serial Notes as the Notes. The Serial Notes were fully repaid April 1, 2006. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes were applied by way of long-term loans, being Serial Loans in respect of the Serial First Preferred Mortgage Notes and Term Loans in respect of the First Preferred Mortgage Notes due in 2015, to the Owners to fund the acquisition of four vessels (the "Vessels") from Chevron Transport Corporation ("Chevron").
 
Currently, the Owners charter three of the Vessels to Chevron under bareboat charters that are expected to provide sufficient payments to cover the Owners' obligations to the Company. CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas I) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas II) Limited and CalPetro Tankers (IOM) Limited received no notice from Chevron to terminate their bareboat charters by the required dates. Consequently, the charters will continue until April 1, 2015.

The fourth Vessel (the "Front Voyager") was chartered under a bareboat charter to Front Voyager Inc. (the "Charterer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Frontline Ltd. (the "Front Voyager Charter"). Pursuant to the Front Voyager Charter, the Charterer agreed to charter the Front Voyager as of April 1, 2006 for an initial two-year period (the "Initial Period") with a further seven annual optional periods. The charterhire payable for the Initial Period was $5.05 million. This was prepaid in full on March 31, 2006. On March 25, 2009, the Charterer exercised its option to extend the charter for the second one-year optional period beginning April 1, 2009 at a cost of $1.8 million. On January 5, 2010, the Charterer gave notice that it would terminate the charter and paid a termination fee of $4.9 million on April 1, 2010 in accordance with the bareboat charter. A Memorandum of Agreement, dated March 15, 2010, was signed regarding the sale of the Front Voyager for $8.3 million and delivery to the buyer occurred on April 8, 2010. After the sale of Front Voyager, the Owner, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited, will continue in existence but will not actively engage in any business other than in connection with ongoing corporate affairs.

The Company's only source of funds with respect to the Term Notes is the payment of the principal and interest on the Term Loans by the Owners. The Company does not have any other source of capital for payment of the Term Notes. The Owners' only sources of funds with respect to its obligation to the Company are the payments by Chevron. The Owners do not have any other source of capital for payment of the Term Loans.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
 
2.           PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)           Revenue and expense recognition

Interest receivable on the Term Loans is accrued on a daily basis.  Interest payable on the Term Notes is accrued on a daily basis. The Owners reimburse the Company for general and administrative expenses incurred on their behalf.

(b)           Deferred charges
 
Deferred charges represent the capitalization of debt issue costs. These costs are amortized over the term of the Term Notes to which they relate on a straight line basis, which is not materially different to the effective interest rate method.

(c)           Reporting and functional currency

The reporting and functional currency is the United States dollar.

(d)           Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities on

19



the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(e)           Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
There were no new accounting standards implemented in 2013 that had an impact on our results or new accounting standards to be implemented in the future that we expect to have an impact on our results when adopted.

3.           TERM LOANS

The principal balances of the Term Loans earn interest at a rate of 8.52% per annum and are to be repaid in full over two years with maturity on April 1, 2015.

4.           TERM LOANS COLLATERAL

The Term Loans are collateralized by first preferred mortgages on the Vessels to the Company. The earnings and insurance relating to the Vessels subject to the charters with Chevron have been collaterally assigned pursuant to an assignment of earnings and insurance to the Company, which in turn has assigned such assignment of earnings and insurance to The Bank of New York Mellon as the collateral trustee (the "Trustee"). The charters with Chevron and the Chevron Guarantees (where the obligations of Chevron are guaranteed by Chevron Corporation) relating to the Vessels have been collaterally assigned pursuant to the assignment of initial charter and assignment of initial charter guarantee to the Company, which in turn has assigned such assignments to the collateral trustee.  The capital stock of each of the Owners has been pledged to the Company pursuant to stock pledge agreements which have also been collaterally assigned to the Trustee.

On October 3, 2011, pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement, excess funds held by the Trustee in the amount of $6.7 million allocable to CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited became available for release from the relevant trust account as a result of sufficient funds remaining on deposit at the Trustee for the payment in full of principal and interest on the Term Notes as they become due and were released to CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited on the same date. CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited paid a dividend of $6.7 million on December 15, 2011.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument;

Cash and cash equivalents - the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Term Loans – the estimated fair value of the Term Loans is based on the market price achieved in the last significant trading of the Term Notes.

Term Notes – the estimated fair value of the Term Notes is based on the market price achieved in the last significant trading of the notes (level two per ASC Topic 820).

Concentrations of risk

The Company's only source of funds for the repayment of the principal and interest on the Term Notes are the repayments from the Owners. The Owners only source of funds for the repayment of the principal and interest on the Term Loans due to the Company are from charterhire payments from Chevron as well as investment income and the proceeds, if any, from the sale of any of the Vessels. Accordingly, the Company's ability to service its obligations on the Term Notes is wholly dependent upon the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows from the Owners.

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, including our President and Treasurer, with the participation of our manager, Frontline Ltd., assessed the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of December 31, 2013.  Based upon that evaluation, our President and Treasurer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2013.
 

Management's Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our President and Treasurer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
 
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management, including our President and Treasurer with the participation of our manager, Frontline Ltd., conducted the evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting using the control criteria framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 1992 in its report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based upon that evaluation our management, including our President and Treasurer with the participation of our manager, Frontline Ltd. concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2013.
 
The annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit non-accelerated filers to provide only management's report in this annual report.
 
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the last quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
