Section 8 – Other Events.
On February 17, 2012, Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (“OSG”) withdrew its application with the Maritime Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation for Title XI loan guarantees with respect to two Jones Act shuttle tankers following indications from the Maritime Administration that the application would not be approved in the form in which it was submitted. The two shuttle tankers were delivered to OSG in 2010 and 2011, are fully paid for and mortgage free and are on time charters expiring in 2015, with charterers having extension options.
The Title XI application was one of a wide range of actions OSG is pursuing in order to enhance its liquidity and maintain its financial flexibility. The withdrawal of the application will not affect OSG’s financial position and OSG remains in full compliance with all of its financial covenants.
