EXHIBIT 99.1



Golden State Petroleum Transport Corporation Announces Results of Consent Solicitation


Golden State Petroleum Transport Corporation ("Golden State"), a Delaware corporation, announced today the results of its consent solicitation to amend the indenture (the "Indenture") relating to its 8.04% First Preferred Mortgage Notes due 2019 (CUSIP 38121E AJ2/ISIN US38121EAJ29) (the "Notes") and certain related agreements. The consent solicitation expired at 5 p.m. EST on September 9, 2014 (the "Expiration Time").

As of the Expiration Time, Golden State had received the consent of holders of $124.6 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes, representing approximately 98% percent of the Notes outstanding as of the record date. Golden State has therefore received valid consents from holders of a majority in principal amount outstanding of the Notes to amend the Indenture and to amend or terminate those certain related collateral and management agreements. Golden State will enter into a supplemental indenture giving effect to certain amendments to the Indenture.

The purpose of the consent solicitation was, in summary, to approve the proposed sale of the m.t. Ulriken (ex Antares Voyager) (the "Vessel"), a 308,500 deadweight ton double-hull very large crude carrier that serves as part of the collateral for the Notes, and in the event of such sale and upon receipt by the Trustee of sufficient funds as described herein, the release of the Vessel under the Indenture and the Collateral Agreements to the purchaser (with the effect that the Vessel will no longer serve as collateral under the Indenture) and the modification of the other applicable Agreements to effect such sale and release.  In addition, after the sale of the Vessel, all outstanding Notes will be redeemed mandatorily at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.  Golden State will provide a notice at the time the Indenture is amended and further will provide of a notice of redemption to the holders of the Notes at the time the Vessel is sold.
