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.

CalPetro  Tankers  (Bahamas III) Limited  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," "except," "anticipate,"  "intends," "estimate," "forecast,"
"project," "plan,"  "potential," "will," "may," "should," "expect" 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, as a result
of 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 CalPetro  Tankers  (Bahamas  III)  Limited  with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Risk Factors

Please note:  In this section,  "we",  "us" and "our" all refer to the
Company.

The  cyclical  nature  of the  tanker  industry  may lead to  volatile
changes in charter rates, which may adversely affect our earnings

Our vessel is currently  operated under a bareboat  charter to Chevron
Transport  Corporation.  The charter  has a term  expiring on April 1,
2015 subject to Chevron  Transport  Corporation's  option to terminate
the  charter  earlier  on three  specified  dates.  Chevron  Transport
Corporation  has its first option to terminate its charter on April 1,
2006 and  then on each of the two  subsequent  two-year  anniversaries
thereof.

If the tanker industry,  which has been cyclical,  is depressed in the
future  when  our  vessel's  charter  expires  or is  terminated,  our
earnings  and  available  cash  flow  may  decrease.  Our  ability  to
recharter our vessel on the  expiration or  termination of its current
charter and the charter rates payable under any renewal or replacement
charters will depend upon, among other things,  economic conditions in
the tanker  market.  Fluctuations  in charter  rates and vessel values
result from  changes in the supply and demand for tanker  capacity and
changes in the supply and demand for oil and oil products.

Because  our  charter may first be  terminated  in April 2006,  we may
incur  additional  expenses  and not be able to  recharter  our vessel
profitably

We were  incorporated  in the  Bahamas on May 13, 1994  together  with
three  other  companies:  CalPetro  Tankers  (Bahamas  I) Limited  and
CalPetro Tankers  (Bahamas II) Limited,  each of which is incorporated
in  the  Bahamas,   and  CalPetro   Tankers  (IOM)  Limited  which  is
incorporated  in the  Isle of  Man.  The  companies  are  referred  to
collectively as the Companies.  Each of the Companies was organized as
a special  purpose  company for the purpose of  acquiring  one of four
Suezmax oil tankers from  Chevron  Transport  Corporation.  California
Petroleum Transport  Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation,  acting as
agent on behalf of the Companies,  issued as full recourse obligations
$167,500,000  Serial First Preferred  Mortgage Notes and  $117,900,000
8.52% First Preferred  Mortgage Notes due 2015,  which are referred to
collectively  as the Notes.  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 2015, to the Companies to
fund  the  acquisition  of the  Vessels  from  the  Chevron  Transport
Corporation.  We were  allocated  $27,640,000  of the Serial Loans and
$12,744,000  of the Term Loans and acquired the vessel,  the WILLIAM E
CRAIN.

Chevron  Transport  Corporation  has its first option to terminate its
charter  on April 1, 2006 and on each of the two  subsequent  two-year
anniversaries  thereof.  Chevron  Transport  Corporation  has the sole
discretion to exercise these options and will not owe any fiduciary or
other duty to the holders of the Notes in deciding whether to exercise
the termination  options, and the charterer's decision may be contrary
to our interests or those of the holders of the Notes.

We cannot  predict at this time any of the factors that the  charterer
will consider in deciding  whether to exercise any of its  termination
options under the charter. It is likely,  however,  that the charterer
would  consider  a variety of  factors,  which may  include  whether a
vessel is surplus or  suitable  to the  charterer's  requirements  and
whether  competitive  charterhire rates are available to the charterer
in the open market at that time.

In the event Chevron Transport  Corporation does terminate our current
charter, we will attempt to arrange a replacement charter, or may sell
the  vessel.  Replacement  charters  may  include  shorter  term  time
charters and employing the vessel on the spot charter market (which is
subject to greater  fluctuation  than the time  charter  market).  Any
replacement  charter may bring us lower charter rates and would likely
require us to incur  greater  expenses  which may  reduce the  amounts
available, if any, to pay principal and interest on the Notes.

We operate in the highly competitive international tanker market which
could  affect our  position at the end of our  current  charter and if
Chevron Transport Corporation terminates its charter earlier

The operation of tanker  vessels and the  transportation  of crude and
petroleum products is an extremely competitive  business.  Competition
arises  primarily  from  other  tanker  owners,  including  major  oil
companies as well as independent  tanker companies,  some of whom have
substantially  greater  resources  than  we do.  Competition  for  the
transportation  of oil and oil  products can be intense and depends on
price,  location,  size, age,  condition and the  acceptability of the
tanker and its  operators  to the  charterers.  During the term of our
existing charter with Chevron Transport Corporation we are not exposed
to the  risk  associated  with  this  competition.  At the  end of our
current  charter and in the event that Chevron  Transport  Corporation
terminates  the  charter in April 2006 or at any  subsequent  optional
termination  date,  we will have to compete with other tanker  owners,
including major oil companies as well as independent  tanker companies
for charters. Due in part to the fragmented tanker market, competitors
with greater  resources  could enter and operate larger fleets through
acquisitions or consolidations  and may be able to offer better prices
and fleets,  which could result in our achieving  lower  revenues from
our Suezmax oil tanker.

Compliance with environmental laws or regulations may adversely affect
our  earnings  and  financial  conditions  at the end of the  existing
charter or if Chevron  Transport  Corporation  terminates  its charter
prior to that time

Regulations in the various states and other jurisdictions in which our
vessel   trades   affect  our   business.   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 our
vessel.  Although Chevron Transport Corporation is responsible for all
operational  matters and bears all these  expenses  during the term of
our current  charter,  these  expenses could have an adverse effect on
our  business   operations  at  any  time  after  the   expiration  or
termination  of  the  charter  or  in  the  event  Chevron   Transport
Corporation fails to make a necessary payment.

We may not have adequate  insurance in the event existing charters are
not renewed

There  are  a  number  of  risks  associated  with  the  operation  of
ocean-going vessels, including mechanical failure, collision, property
loss, cargo loss or damage and business  interruption due to political
circumstances in foreign countries,  hostilities and labor strikes. In
addition,  the  operation  of any vessel is  subject  to the  inherent
possibility  of  marine  disaster,  including  oil  spills  and  other
environmental  mishaps,  and the  liabilities  arising from owning and
operating vessels in international  trade. Under the existing charter,
Chevron  Transport  Corporation  bears all risks  associated  with the
operation  of our  vessel  including  the  total  loss of the  vessel.
However, we cannot assure holders of the Notes that we will adequately
insure against all risks at the end of the existing  charter or in the
event our existing charter is terminated. We may not be able to obtain
adequate  insurance coverage at reasonable rates for our vessel in the
future and the insurers may not pay particular claims.

We are highly dependent on Chevron  Transport  Corporation and Chevron
Corporation

We are highly  dependent on the due  performance by Chevron  Transport
Corporation of its obligations under the charter and by its guarantor,
Chevron Corporation, of its obligations under its guarantee. A failure
by Chevron Transport Corporation or the Chevron Corporation to perform
their  obligations could result in our inability to service the Serial
Loans and Term Loans. If the Note holders had to enforce the mortgages
securing the Notes,  they may not be able to recover the principal and
interest owed to them.

We may not be able to pay  down our debt in the  future,  which  could
result in the loss of our vessel

We  currently  must  dedicate  a large  portion  of our cash flow from
operations to satisfy our debt service obligations. Our ability to pay
interest on, and other amounts due in respect of, our Serial Loans and
Term Loans will depend on our future operating performance, prevailing
economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of
which are beyond our control.  There can be no assurance that our cash
flow and  capital  resources  will be  sufficient  for  payment of our
indebtedness  in  the  future.   If  we  are  unable  to  service  our
indebtedness or obtain  additional  financing,  as needed,  this could
have a material adverse effect on you and us.

Governments  could  requisition  our vessels during a period of war or
emergency, resulting in a loss of earnings

A  government  could  requisition  for  title  or  seize  our  vessel.
Requisition  for title  occurs when a  government  takes  control of a
vessel and becomes her owner. Also, a government could requisition our
vessel for hire.  Requisition for hire occurs when a government  takes
control of a vessel and  effectively  becomes  her charter at dictated
charter rates. Generally, requisitions occur during a period of war or
emergency.  Government  requisition  of our  vessel  would  negatively
impact our revenues.

The Notes may not be as liquid as other  securities  with  established
trading  markets,  which  may  affect  the value of the Notes and your
ability to trade them

The Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange or traded
on the Nasdaq National Market and have no established  trading market.
Consequently,  the 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 Notes  currently  make a market for the Notes,  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 and the Exchange
Act. We cannot assure you that an active trading market will exist for
the Notes or that any market for the Notes will be liquid.

Substantial leverage and debt service could affect our ability to grow
and service our debt obligations

We are highly leveraged. As of December 31, 2001, we had $25.4 million
in total  indebtedness  outstanding and  stockholders'  equity of $1.1
million.  The degree to which we are  leveraged  could have  important
consequences for the holders of the Notes, including:

--our  ability to obtain  additional  financing  for working  capital,
capital  expenditures,  acquisitions or general corporate purposes may
be limited;

--we  must  dedicate  a  substantial  portion  of our cash  flow  from
operations  to the payment of  interest  on our Serial  Loans and Term
Loans and any future  indebtedness,  which reduces the funds available
to us for other purposes;

--we  may  have  trouble   withstanding   competitive   pressures  and
responding to changing business conditions;

--we may be more  vulnerable than others in the event of a downturn in
general economic conditions or in our business; and

--we may be more highly  leveraged than other tanker owners with which
we compete, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage.

We have a limited business purpose which limits our flexibility

Our   activities   are  limited  to   engaging  in  the   acquisition,
disposition, ownership, and chartering of a Suezmax oil tanker. During
the terms of our charter with Chevron Transport  Corporation we expect
that  the only  source  of  operating  revenue  from  which we may pay
principal and interest on the Serial Loans and Term Loans will be from
this charter.

Item 4.  Information on the Company

The Company

CalPetro  Tankers  (Bahamas III) Limited,  also referred to as Bahamas
III, was  incorporated  in the Bahamas on May 13, 1994  together  with
three  other  companies:  CalPetro  Tankers  (Bahamas  I) Limited  and
CalPetro  Tankers  (Bahamas II), each of which is  incorporated in the
Bahamas,  and CalPetro  Tankers (IOM) Limited which is incorporated in
the Isle of Man. The  companies  are referred to  collectively  as the
Companies.  Each of the Companies  was organized as a special  purpose
company for the  purpose of  acquiring  one of four oil  tankers  from
Chevron  Transport   Corporation.   California   Petroleum   Transport
Corporation, a Delaware corporation,  acting as agent on behalf of the
Companies,  issued as full recourse  obligations  $167,500,000  Serial
First Preferred  Mortgage Notes and $117,900,000 8.52% First Preferred
Mortgage  Notes due 2015,  which are referred to  collectively  as the
Notes.  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  2015,  to the  Companies  to fund the
acquisition of the Vessels from the Chevron Transport Corporation.  We
were allocated  $27,640,000 of the Serial Loans and $12,744,000 of the
Term Loans and acquired our vessel,  the WILLIAM E CRAIN, as described
below.  We  engage  in  no  business  other  than  the  ownership  and
chartering of our vessel and  activities  resulting from or incidental
to such ownership and chartering.

We are  wholly-owned  by California  Tankers  Investments  Limited,  a
company  organized  under the laws of the Bahamas,  which is in turn a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of CalPetro Holdings Limited,  an Isle of Man
company.

On  May  12,  1998,   ownership  of  CalPetro   Holdings  Limited  was
transferred  to  Independent  Tankers  Corporation,  or ITC,  a Cayman
Islands  company.  On the same date, all of the issued and outstanding
shares of ITC were sold to Frontline  Ltd., or  Frontline,  a publicly
listed Bermuda company.

Pursuant to a share  purchase  agreement  dated  December 23, 1998, as
amended on March 4, 1999,  Frontline has sold, effective as of July 1,
1999, all of the issued and outstanding shares of ITC to Hemen Holding
Limited,   or  Hemen,  a  Cyprus  company.   Hemen  is  the  principal
shareholder  of Frontline  and is  indirectly  controlled  by Mr. John
Fredriksen, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Frontline.

Overview of the Business

We own one  150,000-deadweight  tonne ("dwt") Suezmax oil tanker,  the
WILLIAM  E.  CRAIN,   which  we  acquired   from   Chevron   Transport
Corporation.  Suezmax  tankers are  medium-sized  vessels ranging from
approximately  120,000 to 200,000 dwt, and of maximum length,  breadth
and draft capable of passing fully loaded  through the Suez Canal.  We
have chartered the vessel back to Chevron  Transport  Corporation (the
"Initial  Charterer" or "Chevron  Transport") on bareboat charter (the
"Initial  Charter").  The Initial Charter has a term expiring on April
1, 2015;  subject to the Initial  Charterer's  right to terminate  the
Initial  Charter on certain  specified  dates.  Chevron  Transport  is
principally  engaged in the marine  transportation  of oil and refined
petroleum products.  Chevron Transport's primary transportation routes
are from the Middle East, Indonesia, Mexico, West Africa and the North
Sea to ports in the United  States,  Europe,  the United  Kingdom  and
Asia.  Chevron  Transport  has  advised  us that it expects to use the
vessel  worldwide  as  permitted  under  the  Initial   Charter.   The
obligations  of the Initial  Charterer  under the Initial  Charter are
guaranteed by Chevron  Corporation,  or Chevron, a major international
oil  company,  pursuant  to a  guarantee  (the  "Chevron  Guarantee").
Chevron Transport is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron.

Our  vessel is a  single-hull  oil  carrier of  approximately  150,000
deadweight tons and is presently registered under the Marshall Islands
flag. Our vessel was constructed  under the supervision of the Initial
Charterer and designed to the Initial  Charterer's  specifications  to
enhance safety and reduce operating and maintenance  costs,  including
such features as high performance rudders, extra steel (minimal use of
high tensile  steels),  additional  fire safety  equipment,  redundant
power generation equipment,  extra coating and electrolytic  corrosion
monitoring  and  protection  systems,   additional  crew  quarters  to
facilitate  added manning and a double-hull  design patented by one of
Chevron's subsidiaries. The WILLIAM E. CRAIN was built by Ishikawajima
do Brasil Estaleiros S.A.

The Management

On March 31, 1999,  P.D.Gram & Co. A.S. resigned as Manager and Barber
Ship Management  resigned as Technical Advisor.  On the same date each
was  replaced  by  Frontline  Ltd,  pursuant to an  assignment  of the
Management Agreement.

The Initial  Charterer may elect to terminate  the Initial  Charter on
specified termination dates commencing in 2006. If the Initial Charter
is terminated  by the Initial  Charterer,  the Manager,  acting on our
behalf, will attempt to find an acceptable replacement charter for the
vessel.   If  an  acceptable   replacement   charter  is  commercially
unavailable,  the Manager  will solicit bids for the sale or recharter
of  the  vessel.   The  Manager's  ability  to  obtain  an  acceptable
replacement  charter,  to sell the vessel or recharter the vessel will
depend on market  rates for new and used  vessels,  both of which will
depend  on the  supply  of and  demand  for  tanker  capacity  for oil
transportation,  and the  advantages  or  disadvantages  of the vessel
compared with other vessels available at the time.


The International Tanker Market

International  seaborne  oil  and  petroleum  products  transportation
services  are  mainly  provided  by two types of  operator:  major oil
company captive fleets (both private and  state-owned) and independent
shipowner  fleets.   Both  types  of  operators  transport  oil  under
short-term  contracts,  including  single-voyage "spot charters",  and
long-term  time charters with oil  companies,  oil traders,  large oil
consumers,  petroleum product producers and government  agencies.  The
oil  companies  own,  or  control  through  long-term  time  charters,
approximately  one third of the current world tanker  capacity,  while
independent companies own or control the balance of the fleet. The oil
companies  use their fleets not only to  transport  their own oil, but
also to transport oil for third-party charterers in direct competition
with independent owners and operators in the tanker charter market.

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  five  major  types of  vessels,  based on  vessel
carrying  capacity:  (i) ULCC-size range of  approximately  320,000 to
450,000 dwt; (ii) VLCC-size range of approximately 200,000 to 320,000;
(iii) Suezmax-size range of approximately 120,000 to 200,000 dwt; (iv)
Aframax-size  range of  approximately  60,000 to 120,000  dwt; and (v)
small tankers of less than  approximately  60,000 dwt. ULCCs and 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 charterhire rates are strongly influenced by the supply and demand
for shipping capacity.

The  factors  affecting  the supply and demand for tanker  vessels are
outside of our control,  and the nature,  timing and degree of changes
in industry  conditions are unpredictable.  The factors that influence
demand for tanker capacity include:

     -    demand for oil and oil products;

     -    global and regional economic conditions;

     -    the  distance  oil and oil  products are to be moved by sea;
          and

     -    changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns.

The factors that influence the supply of tanker capacity include:

     -    the number of newbuilding deliveries;

     -    the scrapping rate of older vessels; and

     -    the number of vessels that are out of service.

Tanker values have generally  experienced  high  volatility.  The fair
market value of oil tankers,  including our vessel, can be expected to
fluctuate,  depending  upon  general  economic  and market  conditions
affecting  the tanker  industry and  competition  from other  shipping
companies,   types  and  sizes  of   vessels,   and  other   modes  of
transportation.  In  addition,  as  vessels  grow  older,  they may be
expected to decline in value.  These  factors will affect the value of
our vessel at the termination or expiration of the current charter.

The shipping industry is highly cyclical,  experiencing  volatility in
profitability, vessel values and charter rates. In particular, freight
and charterhire rates are strongly influenced by the supply and demand
for shipping capacity. After a period of weak freight rates the market
for Suezmax  tankers  started to strengthen in early 2000, as a result
of an improved supply balance following  extensive  scrapping of older
tonnage  in 1999 and early 2000 and  increased  OPEC  production  from
Spring 2000.  The freight rates  continued to  strengthen  through the
year 2000 and remained firm in early 2001.  Towards the second half of
2001 the general  slowdown  in the global  economy and OPEC quota cuts
reduced the demand for Tanker transportation and Suezmax rates started
to decline.  The  negative  trend has  continued  into 2002  following
further cuts in OPEC production.  The average time charter  equivalent
market rate earned in 2001 by Suezmaxes trading in the spot market was
estimated at $30,700 per day. Corresponding rates in the first quarter
of 2002 are estimated at $16,500 per day.  Weakening rates from Autumn
2001 until today have resulted in increased scrapping of Suezmaxes and
VLCCs built in the 1970s.

There is no guarantee  that Suezmax  rates would be sufficient to meet
the debt service  required if the bareboat  charters entered into with
Chevron  are not  extended.  Current  spot  market  rates for  Suezmax
tankers would not be  sufficient to meet the debt service  required if
the bareboat  charters to Chevron  were not  extended.  However,  spot
market  rates are  volatile and  generally  linked to global  economic
development and especially demand for oil.  Declining crude oil demand
has prompted  OPEC to reduce  production  quotas to maintain the crude
oil price  within  its target  price band and as a result,  demand for
crude oil transportation is currently low in relative terms.

Inspection by Classification Society

Every  commercial  vessel's hull and machinery  must be "classed" by a
classification  society  authorized  by its country of  registry.  The
classification  society  ensures  that a  vessel  is  constructed  and
equipped in accordance with the International  Maritime  Organization,
or IMO, regulations and the Safety of Life at Sea Convention.

A vessel must be inspected by a surveyor of the classification society
every year ("Annual Survey"),  every two years ("Intermediate Survey")
and every four years ("Special Survey").  Each vessel is also required
to be  dry  docked  every  30 to  60  months  for  inspection  of  the
underwater  parts  of  the  vessel.  If any  defects  are  found,  the
classification  surveyor will issue a "recommendation" which has to be
acted upon, and the defect must be rectified by the shipowner within a
prescribed time limit.  At the Special Survey,  the vessel is examined
thoroughly,  including an inspection to determine the thickness of the
steel  plates in  various  parts of the  vessel,  and  repairs  may be
recommended.  For  example,  if the  thickness  of the steel plates is
found to be less  than  class  requirements,  steel  renewals  will be
prescribed.   A   one-year   grace   period  may  be  granted  by  the
classification  society to the shipowner for completion of the Special
Survey. If the vessel experiences excessive wear and tear, substantial
amounts  of money may have to be spent for  steel  renewals  to pass a
Special  Survey.  In lieu of the Special Survey every four years (five
years,  if grace is given),  a shipowner  has the option of  arranging
with the classification  society for the vessel's hull or machinery to
be on a continuous  survey cycle,  whereby every part of the vessel is
surveyed within a five-year cycle.  Insurance  underwriters  make it a
condition  of insurance  coverage  for the vessel to be "classed"  and
"class  maintained"  and the failure of a vessel to be  "classed"  and
"class maintained" may render such a vessel unusable.

Our vessel will be maintained  during the term of the Initial  Charter
by  the  Initial   Charterer  in  accordance   with  good   commercial
maintenance  practice  commensurate  with other vessels in the Initial
Charterer's  fleet of  similar  size and  trade,  as  required  by the
Initial Charter. The Initial Charter requires the Initial Charterer to
return the vessel on  termination  of the  Initial  Charter "in class"
under  the  rules of the  American  Bureau  of  Shipping  (or  another
classification   society  previously  approved  by  the  Company).  In
addition,  we have the right to  inspect  the  Vessel  and to  require
surveys upon redelivery, and the Initial Charterer will be responsible
for  making  or  compensating  us for  certain  necessary  repairs  in
connection with such redelivery.

Insurance

The operation of any  ocean-going  vessel  carries an inherent risk of
catastrophic  marine  disasters,   environmental  mishaps,  cargo  and
property losses or damage and business interruptions caused by adverse
weather  and  ocean  conditions,  mechanical  failures,  human  error,
political action in various countries,  war, terrorism,  piracy, labor
strikes  and other  circumstances  or events.  Pursuant to the Initial
Charter,  our vessel may be  operated  through the world in any lawful
trade  for  which  it is  suitable,  including  carrying  oil  and its
products.   In  the  past,   political   conflicts  in  many  regions,
particularly  in the Arabian Gulf,  have included  attacks on tankers,
mining of waterways and other efforts to disrupt shipping in the area.
Vessels  trading  in such  regions  have also been  subject to acts of
terrorism and piracy. In addition,  the carriage of petroleum products
is subject to the risk of  spillage  and  leakage.  Any such event may
result in increased costs or the loss of revenues or assets, including
a vessel.

Under the  Initial  Charter,  the  Initial  Charterer  is  entitled to
self-insure  against  marine and war risks  relating to the vessel and
against  protections and indemnity risks relating to the vessel during
the term of the Initial  Charter and,  accordingly,  purchasers of the
Notes cannot rely on the existence of third-party insurance. There can
be no assurance  that all risks will be  adequately  insured  against,
that any  particular  loss will be  covered or that we will be able to
procure adequate insurance  coverage at commercially  reasonable rates
in the future. In particular,  stricter environmental  regulations may
result  in  increased  costs  for,  or the  lack of  availability  or,
insurance against the risks of environmental damage or pollution.

The Initial Charterer will, pursuant to the Initial Charter, indemnify
us from  damages  arising  from a failure to  maintain  any  financial
responsibility requirements whether relating to oil or other pollution
damage.  The Initial  Charterer  will also  indemnify us to the extent
losses,  damages or  expenses  that we incur  relating to oil or other
pollution  damage as a result of the  operation  of the  vessel by the
Initial Charterer.

Environmental and Other Regulations

Government   regulation   significantly   affects  the  ownership  and
operation of our vessel. The various types of governmental regulation
that affect our vessel include  international  conventions,  national,
state and local  laws and  regulations  in force in the  countries  in
which our vessels may operate or where our vessels are registered.  We
cannot predict the ultimate cost of complying with these requirements,
or the  impact of these  requirements  on the  resale  value or useful
lives  of our  vessel.  Various  governmental  and  quasi-governmental
agencies  require us to obtain permits,  licenses and certificates for
the  operation  of  our  vessel.  Although  we  believe  that  we  are
substantially   in  compliance  with  applicable   environmental   and
regulatory  laws and  have  all  permits,  licenses  and  certificates
necessary for the conduct of our operations,  future non-compliance or
failure to maintain necessary permits or approvals could require us to
incur  substantial  costs  or  temporarily  suspend  operation  of our
vessel.

We believe that the heightened  environmental  and quality concerns of
insurance  underwriters,  regulators  and  charterers  are  leading to
greater  inspection  and safety  requirements  on all  vessels and may
accelerate  the  scrapping of older vessels  throughout  the industry.
Increasing  environmental  concerns  have  created a demand for modern
vessels  that  are  able  to  conform  to the  stricter  environmental
standards.  We maintain high  operating  standards for our vessel that
emphasize operational safety, quality maintenance, continuous training
of our crews and  officers  and  compliance  with  United  States  and
international regulations.

Our vessel is subject to both scheduled and unscheduled inspections by
a variety of governmental and private entities, each of which may have
unique requirements. These entities include the local port authorities
such  as  the  U.S.   Coast   Guard,   harbormaster   or   equivalent,
classification  societies,  flag  state  administration  or country of
registry,  and charterers,  particularly  terminal operators and major
oil companies which conduct frequent vessel inspections.

Environmental Regulation--IMO.

In April 2001, the International  Maritime  Organization,  or IMO, the
United  Nations' agency for maritime  safety,  revised its regulations
governing  tanker  design and  inspection  requirements.  The proposed
regulations,  which are expected to become  effective  September  2002
provided  they are  ratified by the IMO member  states,  provide for a
more  aggressive  phase-out  of  single  hull oil  tankers  as well as
increased inspection and verification  requirements.  They provide for
the phase-out of most single hull oil tankers by 2015 or earlier,  or,
subject to approval by the vessel's  flag state until 2017,  depending
on the age of the vessel and whether or not the vessel  complies  with
requirements  for  protectively   located  segregated  ballast  tanks.
Segregated ballast tanks use ballast water that is completely separate
from the cargo oil and oil fuel system.  Segregated  ballast tanks are
currently  required by the IMO on crude oil tankers  constructed after
1983.  The changes,  which will likely  increase the number of tankers
that are  scrapped  beginning  in 2004,  are  intended  to reduce  the
likelihood of oil pollution in international waters.

The proposed  regulation  identifies three categories of tankers based
on cargo carrying capacity and the presence or absence of protectively
located  segregated  ballast  tanks.  Under  the new IMO  regulations,
single-hull oil tankers with carrying capacities of 20,000 deadweight,
or dwt, tons and above  carrying crude oil, fuel oil, heavy diesel oil
or  lubricating  oil as cargo,  and of 30,000  dwt and above  carrying
other oils, which do not comply with IMO requirements for protectively
located  segregated  ballast  tanks  will be phased  out no later than
2007.  Single-hull oil tankers with similar carrying  capacities which
do comply with IMO requirements for  protectively  located  segregated
ballast  tanks are to be phased out by 2015,  depending on the date of
delivery  of the  vessel.  All  other  single-hull  oil  tankers  with
carrying capacities of 5,000 dwt and above and not falling into one of
the above categories will also be phased out by 2015, depending on the
date of delivery of the vessel.

Our vessel has a single hull.

The  requirements  contained in the  International  Safety  Management
Code, or ISM Code, promulgated by the IMO, also affect our operations.
The ISM Code requires the party with  operational  control of a vessel
to develop an extensive safety management system that includes,  among
other things,  the adoption of a safety and  environmental  protection
policy  setting forth  instructions  and  procedures for operating its
vessels   safely  and   describing   procedures   for   responding  to
emergencies.  Our vessel  manager is  certified  as an  approved  ship
manager under the ISM Code.

The ISM Code requires that vessel operators obtain a safety management
certificate for each vessel they operate.  This certificate  evidences
compliance  by a  vessel's  management  with code  requirements  for a
safety management  system.  No vessel can obtain a certificate  unless
its manager has been awarded a Document of Compliance,  issued by each
flag  state,  under the ISM Code.  Our  vessel  has  received a safety
management certificate.

Non-compliance with the ISM Code and other IMO regulations may subject
the shipowner or a bareboat charterer to increased liability, may lead
to decreases in available  insurance coverage for affected vessels and
may result in the denial of access to, or  detention  in,  some ports.
Both  the  U.S.  Coast  Guard  and  European  Union  authorities  have
indicated  that  vessels  not in  compliance  with the ISM Code by the
applicable  deadlines  will be  prohibited  from  trading in U.S.  and
European Union ports, as the case may be.

The IMO has negotiated international conventions that impose liability
for  oil   pollution  in   international   waters  and  a  signatory's
territorial   waters.   Additional  or  new   conventions,   laws  and
regulations may be adopted which could limit our abiity to do business
and which could have a material  adverse  effect on our  business  and
results of operations.

Environmental Regulation--United States

OPA.  The U.S.  Oil  Pollution  Act of 1990,  or OPA,  established  an
extensive regulatory and liability regime for environmental protection
and cleanup of oil spills.  OPA affects all owners and operators whose
vessels  trade with the U.S. or its  territories  or  possessions,  or
whose  vessels  operate in the waters of the U.S.,  which  include the
U.S.  territorial  waters and the two hundred  nautical mile exclusive
economic zone of the U.S. The  Comprehensive  Environmental  Response,
Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA, applies to the discharge of
hazardous  substances  whether on land or at sea.  Both OPA and CERCLA
impact our operations.

Under  OPA,   vessel  owners,   operators  and  bareboat  or  "demise"
charterers are "responsible  parties" who are all liable regardless of
fault,  individually  and as a group, for all containment and clean-up
costs and other  damages  arising from oil spills from their  vessels.
These  "responsible  parties" would not be liable if the spill results
solely from the act or omission of a third party,  an act of God or an
act of war.  The other  damages  aside from  clean up and  containment
costs are defined broadly to include:

     -    natural resource damages and related assessment costs;

     -    real and personal property damages;

     -    net loss of taxes,  royalties,  rents,  profits or  earnings
          capacity;

     -    net  cost  of  public  services   necessitated  by  a  spill
          response,  such as  protection  from fire,  safety or health
          hazards; and

     -    loss of subsistence use of natural resources.

OPA limits the  liability  of  responsible  parties to the  greater of
$1,200  per gross ton or $10  million  per  tanker  that is over 3,000
gross tons. This is subject to possible adjustment for inflation.  OPA
specifically  permits  individual states to impose their own liability
regimes with regard to oil pollution  incidents occurring within their
boundaries,  and some states have enacted  legislation  providing  for
unlimited  liability for discharge of pollutants  within their waters.
In some cases,  states which have enacted their own  legislation  have
not  yet  issued  implementing  regulations  defining  tanker  owners'
responsibilities under these laws.

Under OPA,  with  limited  exceptions,  all  newly-built  or converted
tankers  operating  in U.S.  waters  must be built with  double-hulls.
Existing  vessels that do not comply with the double-hull  requirement
must be phased out over a 20-year  period  beginning  in 1995 based on
size,   age  and  place  of   discharge,   unless   retrofitted   with
double-hulls.  Notwithstanding  the  phase-out  period,  OPA currently
permits existing single-hull tankers to operate until the year 2015 if
their operations within U.S. waters are limited to:

     -    discharging at the Louisiana  Offshore Oil Port,  also known
          as the LOOP; or

     -    unloading with the aid of another vessel, a process referred
          to  in  the  industry  as  "lightering,"  within  authorized
          lightering zones more than 60 miles off-shore.

CERCLA,  which applies to owners and operators of vessels,  contains a
similar liability regime and provides for cleanup, removal and natural
resource damages.  Liability under CERCLA is limited to the greater of
$300 per gross ton or $5 million.  These  limits of  liability  do not
apply,  however,   where  the  incident  is  caused  by  violation  of
applicable U.S. federal safety, construction or operating regulations,
or by the responsible  party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
These limits do not apply if the responsible party fails or refuses to
report the incident or to cooperate and assist in connection  with the
substance removal  activities.  OPA and CERCLA each preserve the right
to recover damages under existing law, including maritime tort law. We
believe that we are in substantial compliance with OPA, CERCLA and all
applicable state regulations in the ports where our vessels will call.

FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. OPA requires owners and operators of vessels
to establish and maintain  with the Coast Guard  evidence of financial
responsibility  sufficient to meet the limit of their potential strict
liability under OPA. The Coast Guard has enacted regulations requiring
evidence of financial responsibility in the amount of $1,500 per gross
ton for tankers,  coupling the OPA  limitation  on liability of $1,200
per gross ton with the CERCLA  liability  limit of $300 per gross ton.
Under the  regulations,  evidence of financial  responsibility  may be
demonstrated by insurance,  surety bond,  self-insurance  or guaranty.
Under OPA  regulations,  an owner or  operator of more than one tanker
will be required to demonstrate  evidence of financial  responsibility
for  the  entire  fleet  in an  amount  equal  only  to the  financial
responsibility  requirement of the tanker having the greatest  maximum
liability under OPA/CERCLA.

OPA VESSEL RESPONSE PLANS. Owners or operators of tankers operating in
the waters of the U.S. must file vessel  response plans with the Coast
Guard,  and their tankers are required to operate in  compliance  with
their Coast Guard approved  plans.  These  response plans must,  among
other things:

     -    address a "worst  case"  scenario  and  identify and ensure,
          through  contract or other approved means,  the availability
          of  necessary  private  response  resources  to respond to a
          "worst case discharge";

     -    describe crew training and drills; and

     -    identify  a  qualified  individual  with full  authority  to
          implement removal actions.

STATES. In addition to federal loans and regulations, most U.S. states
that border a navigable waterway have enacted environmental  pollution
laws that impose  strict  liability on a person for removal  costs and
damages  resulting from a discharge of oil or a release of a hazardous
substance. These laws may be more stringent than U.S. federal law. OPA
specifically  permits  individual states to impose their own liability
regimes with regard to oil pollution  incidents occurring within their
boundaries,  and many states have enacted  legislation  providing  for
unlimited liability for oil spills.

It is impossible to predict what additional  legislation,  if any, may
be promulgated by the United States or any other country or authority.

Environmental Regulation--CLC

Although the U.S. is not a party to these conventions,  many countries
have ratified and follow the liability  scheme  adopted by the IMO and
set out in the  International  Convention  on Civil  Liability for Oil
Pollution  Damage,  1969, or CLC.  Under this  convention,  a vessel's
registered owner is strictly liable for pollution damage caused in the
territorial waters of a contracting state by discharge of oil, subject
to some complete defences.  Liability is limited to approximately $270
per gross registered ton or approximately $28.3 million,  whichever is
less. If, however,  the country in which the damage results is a party
to the 1992 Protocol to the CLC, the maximum  liability rises to $74.9
million.  The limit of  liability  is tied to a unit of account  which
varies  according  to a  basket  of  currencies.  The  right  to limit
liability is forfeited  under the CLC where the spill is caused by the
owner's actual fault and under the 1992  Protocol,  where the spill is
caused by the owner's intentional or reckless conduct. Vessels trading
to states which are party to this convention must provide  evidence of
insurance   covering   the  limited   liability   of  the  owner.   In
jurisdictions where the CLC has not been adopted,  various legislative
schemes or common law govern,  and liability is imposed  either on the
basis of fault or in a manner similar to the CLC.

Environmental Regulations - EU

The  International  Maritime  Organization has approved an accelerated
timetable  for the  phase-out  of  single  hull oil  tankers.  The new
regulations,  expected to take effect in September  2002 provided they
are ratified by the IMO member  states,  require the phase-out of most
single hull oil tankers by 2015 or  earlier,  depending  on the age of
the tanker and whether or not it has segregated  ballast tanks.  Under
the new  regulations  the  maximum  permissible  age for  single  hull
tankers  after 2007 will be 26 years,  as  opposed  to 30 years  under
current  regulations.  The amendments to the International  Convention
for the Prevention of Marine  Pollution from Ships 1973, as amended in
1978,  accelerates the phase-out schedule previously set by the IMO in
1992. The European Union has already adopted a directive incorporating
the IMO regulations so that port states may enforce them.

The  sinking  of the oil  tanker  Erika  off the  coast of  France  on
December  12, 1999  polluted  more than 250 miles of French  coastline
with heavy oil. Following the spill, the European Commission adopted a
"communication  on the safety of oil transport by sea," also named the
"Erika communication."

As a part of this, the Commission has adopted a proposal for a general
ban on  single-hull  oil tankers.  The  timetable for the ban shall be
similar to that set by the United States under OPA in order to prevent
oil tankers  banned from U.S.  waters from  shifting  their  trades to
Europe.  The ban plans for a gradual phase-out of tankers depending on
vessel type:

          -    Single-hull  oil tankers larger than 20,000 dwt without
               protective  ballast tanks around the cargo tanks.  This
               category is proposed to be phased out by 2005.

          -    Single-hull oil tankers larger than 20,000 dwt in which
               the cargo tank area is partly  protected by  segregated
               ballast  tank.  This  category is proposed to be phased
               out by 2015.

          -    Single-hull  tankers below 20,000 dwt. This category is
               proposed to be phased out by 2015.

In  addition,  Italy  has  announced  a ban of single  hull  crude oil
tankers over 5,000 dwt from most Italian ports,  effective April 2001.
This ban will be placed on oil product  carriers,  effective  December
31, 2003. It is impossible to predict what  legislation  or additional
regulations,  if any, may be  promulgated by the European Union or any
other country or authority.

As described above, and also in Item 7. Major  Shareholders,  we are a
wholly owned subsidiary of CalPetro Tankers Investments  Limited,  and
are ultimately controlled by Hemen.

Property, Plants and Equipment

Other than our vessel, described  above, the Company does not have any
property.

Capital lease interest receivable for the year ended December 31, 2000
amounted to  $2,404,000,  compared with  $2,609,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1999.

Expenses
Interest  payable on the Term Loans and the Serial  Loans  amounted to
$2,278,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The  amortization  of
discount  on loans for the period  amounted  to  $31,000.  The company
amortises the discount over the life of the loans.  The  corresponding
figures  for the  period to  December  31,  1999 were  $2,463,000  and
$31,000, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As set forth above,  revenues from the Initial  Charter are sufficient
to pay the Company's  obligations  under the Term Loans and the Serial
Loans.  The  Initial  Charterer  may elect to  terminate  the  Initial
Charter on specified  termination  dates  commencing  in 2006.  If the
Initial Charter is terminated by the Initial  Charterer,  the Manager,
acting on behalf of the Company,  will  attempt to find an  acceptable
replacement  charter  for the  Vessel.  If an  acceptable  replacement
charter is commercially unavailable, the Manager will solicit bids for
the sale or recharter of the Vessel.  The Manager's  ability to obtain
an acceptable replacement charter, to sell the Vessel or recharter the
Vessel will depend on market rates for new and used  vessels,  both of
which will depend on the supply of and demand for tanker  capacity for
oil transportation,  and the advantages or disadvantages of the Vessel
compared with other vessels available at the time.

Trend Information

As the vessel owned by the Company  ages, it expected  charter  income
declines.  The interest payable on the Term Loans and the Serial Loans
also declines as principal on those loans is  amortized.  Accordingly,
under the  Company's  present  structure,  the Company  experiences  a
consistent  reduction in income,  expenses and assets employed (vessel
subject to finance  lease).  However,  so long as the Initial  Charter
remains in effect, the nature of the Company's obligations permits the
Company to operate  profitably and  experience  cash flows adequate to
service its loans. Market tanker charter rates are highly volatile and
cyclical.  The Company  cannot  predict future rates or performance in
the event the Initial Charter is not renewed.

Report of Independent Auditors


To the Board of Directors
CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited


We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheets of CalPetro  Tankers
(Bahamas III) Limited as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the related
statements of  operations  and retained  earnings,  and cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended  December 31, 2001.  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  auditing   standards
generally  accepted in the United States of America.  Those  standards
require  that we plan and  perform  the  audits 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 CalPetro
Tankers  (Bahamas III) Limited at December 31, 2001 and 2000,  and the
results  of its  operations  and its cash  flows for each of the three
years  in the  period  ended  December  31,  2001 in  conformity  with
accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in the  United  States of
America.

CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements

1.  Basis of Preparation

The company,  which was incorporated in the Bahamas on May 13, 1994 is
one of four companies:  CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas I) Limited, CalPetro
Tankers  (Bahamas II) Limited,  each of which is  incorporated  in the
Bahamas,  and CalPetro  Tankers (IOM) Limited which is incorporated in
the  Isle of Man.  Each  of the  Companies  (the  "Owners")  has  been
organized  as a special  purpose  company for the purpose of acquiring
one of four oil tankers (each a "Vessel", together the "Vessels") from
Chevron Transport  Corporation (the "Initial Charterer") and for which
long-term  charter  agreements  have  been  signed  with  the  Initial
Charterer.  California Petroleum Transport Corporation acting as agent
on  behalf of the  Owners  issued as full  recourse  obligations  Term
Mortgage Notes and Serial Mortgage Notes. These statements reflect the
net proceeds  from the sale of the Term Mortgage  Notes  together with
the net  proceeds  from the sale of the Serial  Mortgage  Notes having
been  applied  by way of  long-term  loans to the  Owners  to fund the
acquisition of the Vessels from the Initial Charterer.

2.  Principal Accounting Policies

The  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with
accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in the United  States.  A
summary of the more  important  accounting  policies,  which have been
consistently applied, is set out below.

(a)   Capital Leases

          The  long-term  charter  agreement  between  the Company and
          Chevron Transport Corporation subsequently transfers all the
          risks and  rewards  associated  with  ownership,  other than
          legal title and  contains  bargain  purchase  options and as
          such is classified as a direct financing lease in accordance
          with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13.

          Primary  rental income from capital leased  contracts  after
          setting aside amounts for  amortization of the investment in
          finance  leases  over the  primary  period  of the  lease is
          apportioned  between the finance element which is determined
          by  spreading  interest  and  charges  over  the  period  of
          repayment in  proportion to the net cash  investment  and is
          allocated to the Statement of Income and the capital element
          which  reduces  the   outstanding   obligations  for  future
          instalments.

(b)   Interest payable recognition

          Interest  payable on the Term Loans and on the Serial  Loans
          is accrued on a daily basis.

(c)   Discount on Loans

          Discount on issue of the long-term debt which  comprises the
          Term  Loans and  Serial  Loans is being  amortized  over the
          respective  periods to maturity of the debt as  described in
          Note 4.

(d)   Income taxes

          The company is not liable to income taxes in the Bahamas.

(e)   Cash equivalents

          The company  considers all highly liquid  investments with a
          maturity  date of three months or less when  purchased to be
          cash equivalents.

(f)   Reporting currency

          The  reporting  currency  is  United  States  dollars.   The
          functional currency is United States dollars.

3.  Interest Expense
