Fixed-Rate Tanker Segment

Cash flow from vessel operations from the Company's fixed-rate tanker segment increased to $70.3 million in the third quarter of 2006, compared to $59.6 million in the third quarter of 2005, primarily due to higher utilization of the shuttle tanker A shuttle tanker is a ship designed for oil transport from an off-shore oil field. It is equipped with off-loading equipment compatible with the oil field in question. This normally consists of a taut hawser arrangement or dynamic positioning to maintain the position relative to  fleet as a result of the completion of seasonal maintenance of offshore oil facilities earlier than in the prior year. In addition, the time charter rates on certain of the Company's shuttle tankers increased as a result of recent contract renewals that were concluded at higher rates.

As previously announced, the Company was awarded 13-year fixed-rate charter contracts for two Suezmax shuttle tankers and one Aframax shuttle tanker by a subsidiary of Petrobras. During the third quarter, a 2003-built Suezmax shuttle tanker, previously operating in the Company's North Sea shuttle tanker fleet, was delivered to Petrobras. Two conventional tankers, which have been purchased from third parties, are currently being converted to shuttle tankers and are scheduled to commence service under fixed-rate charters to Petrobras in February and April 2007.

Fixed-Rate LNG Segment

The Company's cash flow from vessel operations from its existing four LNG carriers LNG carrier is a ship designed for transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG). As the LNG market is growing rapidly also the fleet of LNG carriers is in a tremendous growth at the moment.  during the third quarter of 2006 was virtually unchanged at $17.2 million compared to $17.7 million for the third quarter of 2005.

The Company has ownership interests ranging from 40% to 70% in nine additional LNG newbuildings New Buildings (officially written as Newbuildings) is a large village in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. It lies about 1 km (0.6 mi) from the shores of the River Foyle and 5 km (3 mi) south of the city of Derry/Londonderry.  scheduled to deliver at various dates between the fourth quarter of 2006 and early 2009, all of which will commence service upon delivery under 20 or 25-year fixed-rate contracts with major energy companies.

Teekay has agreed to sell the following vessels to its 67.8% owned subsidiary, Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (Teekay LNG):

* RasGas II - a 70% interest in three LNG newbuilding carriers. The first of these vessels was delivered on October 31, 2006, and the remaining two vessels are scheduled to deliver in the first quarter of 2007.

* RasGas 3 - a 40% interest in four LNG newbuilding carriers scheduled to deliver during the first half of 2008.

* Tangguh - a 70% interest in two LNG newbuilding carriers scheduled to deliver during late 2008 and early 2009.

Spot Tanker Segment

Cash flow from vessel operations from the Company's spot tanker segment increased to $60.2 million for third quarter of 2006 from $28.7 million for the third quarter of 2005, primarily due to an increase in spot tanker charter rates and newbuilding deliveries, partially offset by a reduction in the size of the Company's spot tanker fleet. The Company's realized Aframax and Suezmax rates in the third quarter of 2006 increased by 40% and 29%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2005.

On a net basis, fleet changes reduced the total number of revenue days in the Company's spot tanker segment to 5,254 days for the third quarter of 2006 compared to 5,817 days for the third quarter of 2005. However, when compared to the second quarter of 2006, the number of spot revenue days increased in the third quarter of 2006 by 285 days as a result of the addition of three in-chartered vessels during the third quarter. Revenue days represent the total number of vessel calendar days less off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydockings or mandated surveys.

In September 2006, the Company ordered two additional newbuilding Suezmax tankers for a total delivered cost of approximately $170 million, scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of 2009. With this order, the Company currently has ten newbuilding Suezmax tankers on order for a total cost of approximately $780 million, scheduled to deliver during 2008 and 2009.

The Company's spot tanker segment includes vessels operating on voyage and period out-charters with an initial term of less than three years. The following table highlights the operating performance of the Company's spot tanker segment measured in net voyage revenues per revenue day, or time-charter equivalent (TCE TCE

Excluding these amounts, TCEs on a revenue-day basis for the quarters ended September 30, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 would have been $46,210, $33,864 and $27,727 per day, respectively. Excluding these amounts, TCEs on a revenue-day basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 would have been $47,583 and $44,495 per day, respectively.

Tanker Market Overview

During the third quarter of 2006, crude tanker freight rates Noun 1. freight rate - the charge for transporting something by common carrier; "we pay the freight"; "the freight rate is usually cheaper"

 strengthened counter-seasonally, reaching levels not experienced in three decades for this time of the year. An increase in oil imports by the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. , and continued firm volumes imported by China and India, were key factors behind the strength in tanker freight rates.

 pipeline disruption in August 2006 led to an increase in long-haul crude shipments to the U.S. West Coast, which provided further support to crude tanker rates.

During the quarter, freight rates for product tankers also rose as refined product imports into the United States remained high, and China's demand for distillates remained firm. In addition, ton-mile intensive refined product movements from Asia to the U.S. West Coast increased following the Prudhoe Bay Prudhoe Bay, inlet of the Beaufort Sea and Arctic Ocean, N Alaska, in the Alaska North Slope region, east of the Colville River delta.

The International Energy Agency's (IEA IEA International Energy Agency

) outlook remains firm with global oil demand in the fourth quarter of 2006 estimated to be 2.2 mb/d, or 2.6%, higher than the fourth quarter of 2005. For calendar year 2007, the IEA forecasts a further increase in oil demand of 1.4 mb/d to 86.0 mb/d, 1.7% higher than 2006.

Global oil supply, a direct driver of tanker demand, rose to a record high of 85.7 mb/d during the third quarter of 2006, which was 0.8 mb/d higher than the previous quarter and 1.3 mb/d, or 1.5%, higher than the third quarter of 2005. Much of the growth during the quarter originated from the non-OPEC regions such as the former Soviet Union, Latin America Latin America, the Spanish-speaking, Portuguese-speaking, and French-speaking countries (except Canada) of North America, South America, Central America, and the West Indies.  and Africa.

The size of the world tanker fleet rose to 368.0 million deadweight tonnes (mdwt) as of September 30, 2006, up 4.3 mdwt, or 1.2%, from the end of the previous quarter. Deletions, including vessels converted for offshore projects and thus removed from the trading tanker fleet, aggregated 1.3 mdwt in the third quarter of 2006 compared to 1.1 mdwt in the previous quarter. Deliveries of tanker newbuildings during the third quarter of 2006 increased to 5.6 mdwt from 5.4 mdwt in the second quarter of 2006.

As of September 30, 2006, the world tanker orderbook stood at 123.4 mdwt, representing 33.5% of the world tanker fleet, compared to 110.4 mdwt, or 30.4%, as of June 30, 2006.
