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 the fact that Chevron Transport
Corporation has an option to terminate the charter earlier on
four specified dates. Chevron Transport Corporation has its first
option to terminate its charter on April 1, 2003 and then on each
of the three 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

CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited ("Bahamas III" or the
"Company") 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 (together 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


                                5



<PAGE>

and $117,900,000 8.52% First Preferred Mortgage Notes due 2015
(together 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.  The Company was allocated
$27,640,000 of the Serial Loans and $12,744,000 of the Term Loans
and acquired its 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 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


                                6



<PAGE>

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.



                                7



<PAGE>

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, could have a material
adverse effect on us and you.

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 ware 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


                                8



<PAGE>

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, 2000, we had $27.9
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

The activity of the Company is 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.

INTERVENING LIENS THAT MAY HAVE ARISEN BEFORE OUR VESSEL WAS
REFLAGGED TO THE BAHAMIAN REGISTRY MAY HAVE TAKEN PRIORITY OVER
THE LIEN OF THE MORTGAGE SECURING YOUR NOTES




                                9



<PAGE>

At the request of Chevron Transport Corporation, we and the other
Companies solicited the holders of the Notes and received their
consent to the change of our vessel from the Liberian to the
Bahamian shipping registry and flag.  In connection with the
reflagging, the Liberian mortgage securing the Notes was
discharged, and a new Bahamian mortgage was recorded.  Some liens
that may have arisen before the new Bahamian mortgage was
recorded may have taken priority over the new mortgage.  If
another lien had priority, in case the mortgage over our vessel
was enforced, the holder of that lien would be entitled to
payment before the trustee for the Notes.  However, Chevron
Transport Corporation confirmed in connection with the reflagging
that it was in full compliance with the charter and that the
guarantee of Chevron Corporation remained in full force and
effect.  Accordingly, we believe that any intervening liens would
be immaterial to the holders of the Notes.

ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

A. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited ("Bahamas III" or the
"Company") 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 (together the
"Companies").  Each of the Companies was 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.  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 (together 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.  The Company was allocated $27,640,000 of the Serial
Loans and $12,744,000 of the Term Loans and acquired its Vessel,
the WILLIAM E. CRAIN, as described below.  The Company engages in
no business other than the ownership and chartering of its Vessel
and activities resulting from or incidental to such ownership and
chartering.

The Company is 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.


                               10



<PAGE>

On May 12, 1998, ownership of CalPetro Holdings Limited was
transferred to Independent Tankers Corporation, a Cayman Islands
company ("ITC").  On the same date, all of the issued and
outstanding shares of ITC were sold to Frontline Ltd.
("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, a Cyprus company ("Hemen").  Hemen is the
principal shareholder of Frontline and is indirectly controlled
by Mr. John Fredriksen, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of Frontline.

B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

The Company owns one 150,000 deadweight tonne ("dwt") Suezmax oil
tanker, the WILLIAM E. CRAIN, which was acquired from Chevron
Transport Corporation (the "Vessel").  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.  The Vessel has been
chartered 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 the Company 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 ("Chevron"), a major
international oil company, pursuant to a guarantee (the "Chevron
Guarantee").  Chevron Transport is an indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiary of Chevron.

The Vessel is a single-hull oil carrier of approximately 150,000
deadweight tons and is presently registered under the Bahamian
flag.  The 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


                               11



<PAGE>

Chevron's subsidiaries.  The builder of WILLIAM E. CRAIN was
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 and on the
same date each was replaced by Frontline Limited, pursuant to an
assignment of the Management Agreement.

The Initial Charterer may elect to terminate the Initial Charter
on specified termination dates commencing in 2003.  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.

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.



                               12



<PAGE>

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 the vessel, can be
expected to fluctuate, depending upon general economic and market
conditions affecting the tanker industry and competition from


                               13



<PAGE>

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 the vessel at the termination or expiration of the
current charter.

The tanker market in general had been depressed for a number of
years, largely as a result of an excess of tonnage supply over
demand.  In 1999, the Suezmax sector of the tanker market
continued to fluctuate and in the third quarter of 1999 fell to
the lowest level since 1994. This was also the result of
substantially lower volumes of oil transported due to the
adherence by OPEC to their agreed oil production cuts introduced
at the start of 1999, the fact that a high proportion of these
cuts involved long-haul Middle East oil, increased competition
from the VLCC sector and the draw of oil inventories. At the
start of 1999, the Suezmax market saw some improvement as
scrapping of older tonnage has increased due to high bunker cost
and the difficulties finding cargoes for old tonnage. Tanker
scrapping activity is expected to continue at high levels given
the current tanker market weakness, the relatively high
orderbook, the tanker fleet age demographic, an expensive fifth
special survey and stricter environmental regulations.  The
increase in crude oil prices towards the end of 2000 has allowed
charter rates to firm, producing a year-end rate significantly
higher than in 1999.   However, continued improvement in Suezmax
freight rates will be largely dependent on improvement in the
Asian economies, increased output from the OPEC countries and an
increase in the rate of scrapping older vessels.

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.  However, Suezmax rates are
still sufficient to meet the debt service required if the
bareboat charters entered into with Chevron are not extended.
The average daily time charter equivalent rates earned by modern
Suezmaxes in 2000 was $44,000 on a single voyage basis.

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 (the "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


                               14



<PAGE>

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.

The 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, the Company has the right
to inspect the Vessel and to require surveys upon redelivery, and
the Initial Charterer will be responsible for making or
compensating the Company 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, the Vessel may be
operated through the world in any lawful trade for which the
Vessel 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.


                               15



<PAGE>

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 the Company 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 the Company 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 the Company to the extent losses, damages or
expenses are incurred by the Company 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 vessels.  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


                               16



<PAGE>

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 Coast Guard,
harbor master 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, 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


                               17



<PAGE>

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.

         The Company's 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.

         Noncompliance 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 continues to review and introduce new
regulations on a regular basis.  It is impossible to predict what
additional regulations, if any, may be passed by the IMO, whether
those regulations will be adopted by member countries and what
effect, if any, such regulations might have on the operation of
oil tankers.  Because patterns of world crude oil trade are not
constant, the Vessel may load crude oil in any crude oil
producing areas of the world for delivery to areas where oil
refineries are located.  In the Company's opinion, trading of the
Vessel in such areas will not expose the Vessel to regulations
more stringent than those of the United States and/or the IMO.
However, additional laws and regulations may be adopted which
could limit the use of oil tankers such as the Vessel in oil
producing and refining regions.



                               18

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION--OPA/CERCLA

         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.




                               19



<PAGE>

         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.

         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.

         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.




                               20



<PAGE>

         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.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION--OTHER

         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
defenses.  Liability is limited to approximately $183 per gross
registered ton or approximately $19.3 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
$82.7 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.

         In addition, 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.



                               21



<PAGE>

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

PROPOSED EU REGULATIONS

         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.  We expect that the European Union will incorporate
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 2010.

         -    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 1, 2001.  It is impossible to


                               22

predict what legislation or additional regulations, if any, may
be promulgated by the European Union or any other country or
authority.

C. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

As described in section B above, and also in Item 7. Major
Shareholders, the Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of
Calpetro Tankers Investments Limited, and is ultimately
controlled by Hemen Limited.

D. PROPERTY, PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT

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

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

A. OPERATING RESULTS

Year ended December 31, 2000 compared with the year ended
December 31, 1999

TOTAL REVENUES

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.

EXPENSES

Interest payable on the Term Loans and the Serial Loans amounted
to $2,463,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999.  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,
1998 were $2,647,000 and $31,000, respectively.

B. 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 2003.  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.

C.  RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC

Not Applicable

D. TREND INFORMATION

As the vessel owned by the Company ages so the expected charter
income reduces.   In line with this effect the interest payable
on the loan notes financing the ship is also reducing as the
notes are paid off.   Thus there is a consistent reduction in
income, expenses and net assets employed by the Company.
However the Company will continue to remain profitable and cash
flows will be adequate to service the debt load.    Clearly there
will always be some uncertainty within the business because of
the nature of the tanker business but over the past life of the
Company the charter rates have been at a level such that the
Company has made profits.   The structure of debt and charterhire
agreements, including provision for early termination, provides
the Company with a clear future.

ITEM 14. MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS
AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         Following the receipt of consent of a majority of the
holders of each of the Term Notes and the Serial Notes, the
Companys vessel was deleted from the Liberian shipping registry
and reflagged in the Bahamian shipping registry on June 28, 2001.
In connection with the reflagging, the original mortgage over the
vessel, recorded in the Liberian registry, was released, and a
new mortgage was recorded in the Bahamian shipping registry.  A
similar reflagging took place with respect to the vessel owned by
CalPetro Tankers (IOM) Limited.  The Company, the trustee for the
Notes and other necessary parties also entered into amendments to
the indentures for the Notes and other related documents in order
to allow the reflagging to take place.

         The liens of the Bahamian mortgages over the Companys
vessel and the other vessel that was reflagged relate only to the
date on which those mortgages were recorded in the Bahamian
registry on June 28, 2001.  Some intervening maritime liens would
have priority over the lien of the Bahamian mortgages that would
not have existed over the original Liberian mortgages which were
recorded in 1995.

         However, in connection with the reflagging, Chevron
Transport Corporation confirmed that it was in full compliance
with the charter for the Companys vessel and that the guarantee
of Chevron Corporation remained in full force and effect.
Accordingly, the Company believes that any intervening liens
should be immaterial to the holders of the Notes.

             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 the four
    recently constructed oil tankers 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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 installments.

         Bahamas.
