EXPLANATORY NOTE: DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
 
On September 6, 2005, OSG America, Inc., a Delaware corporation, formerly known as Maritrans Inc. (“OSG America”), filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-128108) (the “Registration Statement”), as amended by amendment No. 1 filed on October 13, 2005, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, to register $450,000,000 of common stock and debt securities.
 
On November 28, 2006, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 25, 2006, among OSG America, Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“OSG”), and Marlin Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of OSG (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into OSG America, and OSG America became a wholly-owned subsidiary of OSG (the “Merger”). OSG America intends to file a certification and notice of termination on Form 15 with respect to its common stock.
 
As a result of the Merger, OSG America has terminated all offerings of OSG America securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. Pursuant to the undertaking made by OSG America in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, OSG America is filing this post-effective amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to deregister all of the securities that remain unsold under the Registration Statement.
