B+H Ocean Carriers Ltd. (the "Company"*) was organized in April 1988 to engage
in the business of acquiring, investing in, owning, operating and selling
vessels for dry bulk and liquid cargo transporta-tion. As of December 31, 2006,
the Company owned and operated six MR product tankers, two Panamax product
tankers and six OBOs. The Company also owns a 50% interest in a company which is
the disponent owner of a 1992-built 75,000 DWT Combination Carrier, effected
through a lease structure. Each vessel accounts for a significant portion of the
Company’s revenues.
The Company’s fleet of product tankers consist of “handy-size” vessels which are
between 30,000 and 50,000 summer dead-weight tons ("DWT"), and are able, by
reason of their smaller size, to trans-port commodities to and from most ports
in the world, includ-ing those located in less developed third-world countries.
The Company’s Panamax product tankers are 61,000 and 68,500 DWT.
