We are a leading provider of international crude oil and gas marine transportation
services and we also offer offshore oil production, storage and offloading services,
primarily under long-term, fixed-rate contracts. Over the past decade, we have
undergone a major transformation from being primarily an owner of ships in the
cyclical spot tanker business to being a growth-oriented asset manager in the
“Marine Midstream” sector. This transformation has included our
expansion into the liquefied natural gas (or LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas
(or LPG) shipping sectors through our publicly-listed subsidiary Teekay LNG
Partners L.P. (NYSE: TGP) (or Teekay LNG), further growth of our operations
in the offshore production, storage and transportation sector through our publicly-listed
subsidiary Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. (NYSE: TOO) (or Teekay Offshore) and
through our 100% ownership interest in Teekay Petrojarl AS, and the continuation
of our conventional tanker business through our publicly-listed subsidiary Teekay
Tankers Ltd. (NYSE: TNK) (or Teekay Tankers). We are responsible for managing
and operating consolidated assets of approximately $12 billion, comprised of
approximately 200 liquefied gas, offshore, and conventional tanker assets (excluding
vessels managed for third parties). With offices in 15 countries and approximately
6,900 seagoing and shore-based employees, Teekay provides a comprehensive set
of marine services to the world’s leading oil and gas companies, and its
reputation for safety, quality and innovation has earned it a position with
its customers as The Marine Midstream Company. Our organizational structure
can be divided into (a) our controlling interests in our publicly-listed subsidiaries,
Teekay Offshore, Teekay LNG and Teekay Tankers (or the Daughter Companies),
and (b) Teekay and its remaining subsidiaries, which is referred to herein as
Teekay Parent.
Teekay Offshore includes our shuttle tanker operations, floating storage and
off-take (or FSO) units, one HiLoad DP unit, a majority of our floating production,
storage and offloading (or FPSO) units, and offshore support which includes
floating accommodation units (or FAUs), all of which primarily operate under
long-term fixed-rate contracts, and long-distance towing and offshore installation
vessels. Our shuttle tanker fleet had a total cargo capacity of approximately
4.1 million deadweight tonnes (or dwt), which represented approximately 42%
of the total tonnage of the world shuttle tanker fleet.
Teekay LNG includes all of our LNG and LPG carriers. LNG carriers are usually
chartered to carry LNG pursuant to time-charter contracts, where a vessel is
hired for a fixed period of time. LPG carriers are mainly chartered to carry
LPG on time-charters, on contracts of affreightment or spot voyage charters.
We have four primary lines of business, which consist of offshore logistics
(shuttle tankers, FSO units, FAUs, long-distance towing and offshore installation
vessels and the HiLoad unit), offshore production (FPSO units), liquefied gas
carriers and conventional tankers. The allocation of capital and assessment
of performance of our assets is done first from the perspective of these lines
of business which are operated by our internal business units. We manage these
businesses for the benefit of all stakeholders. Consequently, our financial
statement segments are based upon these four primary lines of business, which
is consistent with our internal organizational structure. However, we also allocate
capital and assess performance from the separate perspectives of Teekay LNG,
Teekay Offshore and Teekay Tankers (collectively, the Daughter Companies) and
Teekay Parent, which includes Teekay and its remaining subsidiaries. A substantial
majority of the information provided herein has been broken down primarily from
the perspective of the Daughter Companies and Teekay Parent, and secondly from
the four lines of business. While our internal organizational structure is not
fully based on the Daughter Companies and Teekay Parent, we believe this is
the best way for Teekay’s shareholders and bondholders to understand our
operations, particularly given that a substantial majority of our assets are
owned by the Daughter Companies.

laws of the Republic of The Marshall Islands as Teekay Corporation and maintain
