SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED NOVEMBER 9, 1994
PROSPECTUS
____________, 1994*
Chevron Transport Corporation
Whose Charter Obligations are Guaranteed by
Chevron Corporation
Chevron Obligations (as defined herein)
Chevron Transport Corporation ("Chevron Transport") will enter into a
bareboat charter (each, an "Initial Charter") with CalPetro Tankers
(Bahamas I) Limited, CalPetro Tankers (Bahamas II) Limited, CalPetro
Tankers (Bahamas III) Limited and CalPetro Tankers (IOM) Limited (each,
an "Owner") for the charter of four recently constructed oil tankers (each,
a "Vessel"). The Vessels consist of one double-hulled, 130,000 deadweight
tonne oil tanker, two double-hulled, 150,000 deadweight tonne oil tankers
and one single-hulled, 150,000 deadweight tonne oil tanker. Each Initial
Charter will have a term expiring on ________, 2014, subject to the earlier
termination thereof at the option of Chevron Transport. If Chevron
Transport elects to terminate the Initial Charter for a Vessel on any of
the specified termination dates, Chevron Transport will be required to make
a termination payment. The obligations of Chevron Transport under each
Initial Charter will be guaranteed by Chevron Corporation ("Chevron") (the
"Chevron Guarantee"). The obligations of Chevron Transport under the
Initial Charters and the obligations of Chevron under the Chevron Guarantee
are referred to herein collectively as the "Chevron Obligations." Chevron
Transport is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Chevron.
At the same time as the issuance of the Chevron Obligations described
herein, ___% First Preferred Mortgage Notes Due 2014 in an aggregate
principal amount of $117,900,000 (the "Term Mortgage Notes"), are being
offered pursuant to a separate prospectus (the "Term Mortgage Notes
Prospectus") by California Petroleum Transport Corporation, a Delaware
corporation which is not affiliated with Chevron or Chevron Transport
("California Petroleum"). The Chevron Obligations are intended to fund
certain payments of interest and principal on the Notes (as defined below)
and will be assigned to the Collateral Trustee (as defined) for the
benefit of holders of the Notes. This Prospectus may be used only as an
appendix to the Term Mortgage Notes Prospectus. Prospective investors in
the Term Mortgage Notes should read and carefully consider the Term
Mortgage Notes Prospectus. All statements in the Term Mortgage Notes
Prospectus are made by California Petroleum and the Owners. Chevron and
Chevron Transport assume no responsibility and shall have no liability for
any such statements. Concurrent with the offering of Term Mortgage Notes,
Serial First Preferred Mortgage Notes in an aggregate principal amount of
$168,500,000 (the "Serial Mortgage Notes" and, together with the Term
Mortgage Notes, the "Notes"), which will mature serially from ________,
1995 to ________ 2005, are being offered pursuant to a separate prospectus
by California Petroleum. The issuance of the Chevron Obligations described
herein is dependent on the consummation of the sale of the Notes. However,
the Notes are not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by, Chevron or
Chevron Transport. This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or
a solicitation of an offer to buy any security other than the Chevron
Obligations.
The Notes are being issued as full recourse obligations of California
Petroleum. Chevron and Chevron Transport have been advised by California
Petroleum that the proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be loaned by
California Petroleum to the Owners on a non-recourse basis, secured jointly
and severally by certain collateral, to fund, after paying certain fees and
expenses, the acquisition by each Owner of its respective Vessel from Chevron
Transport.
The Vessels are currently operated by Chevron Transport. The sale of the
Vessels to the respective Owners and the commencement of the Initial Charters
with respect to the Vessels will occur on the closing date (the "Closing
Date") for the offering of the Notes.
See "Certain Considerations" for a discussion of certain factors which
should be considered by persons to whom this Prospectus is delivered.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
Chevron Transport is organized under the laws of the Republic of Liberia
("Liberia") and a substantial portion of its assets are or may be located
outside the United States. Certain directors of Chevron Transport are
residents of jurisdictions other than the United States, and all or a
significant portion of the assets of these directors of Chevron Transport may
be located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for
investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such
persons or to enforce against them or against Chevron Transport in the United
States judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal
securities laws of the United States. Chevron Transport has irrevocably
submitted to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in New York City
for the purpose of any legal suit, action or proceeding against Chevron
Transport in connection with the issuance of the Chevron Obligations.
CHEVRON TRANSPORT AND CHEVRON
Chevron Transport Corporation, a Liberian corporation ("Chevron Transport"),
is principally engaged in the marine transportation of oil and refined
petroleum products. As of September 30, 1994, Chevron Transport operated
29 internationally flagged vessels which it owned or bareboat chartered.
In addition, at any given time, Chevron Transport typically has an
additional 35 to 45 ships on time or single-voyage charters. 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. Refined petroleum products
are transported worldwide. Chevron Transport expects to use each Vessel
worldwide as permitted under the Initial Charters.
Chevron Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Chevron"), a major
international oil company, will guarantee the payment and performance
obligations of Chevron Transport under each Initial Charter. Chevron
provides administrative, financial and management support for, and manages
its investment in, domestic and foreign subsidiaries and affiliates, which
engage in fully integrated petroleum operations, chemical operations, real
estate development and other mineral and energy related activities in the
United States and approximately 100 other countries. Petroleum operations
consist of exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural
gas; transporting crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products by
pipelines, marine vessels and motor equipment; refining crude oil into
finished petroleum products; and marketing crude oil, natural gas and the
many products derived from petroleum. Chemical operations include the
manufacture and marketing of a wide range of chemicals primarily for
industrial uses. Chevron Transport is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary
of Chevron.
Chevron's executive offices are located at 225 Bush Street, San Francisco,
California 94104. Chevron's telephone number is (415) 894-7700. Chevron
Transport's executive offices are located at Chevron House, 11 Church Street,
Hamilton, Bermuda HM11, and its telephone number is (809) 295-1774.
CERTAIN CONSIDERATIONS
Chevron Transport is entering into the sale and charterback of the Vessels
because of the termination options in the Initial Charters. Under each
Initial Charter, Chevron Transport has the right to terminate such Initial
Charter (and the related Chevron Guarantee) on any of four, in the case of the
double-hulled Vessels, or three, in the case of the single-hulled Vessel,
termination dates which occur for each Vessel at two-year intervals beginning
in 2002, 2003, 2004 or 2005, as the case may be. See "The Chevron
Obligations--Termination Options." The exercise of the termination options is
completely within Chevron Transport's discretion and Chevron Transport will
not take into consideration the interests of holders of Term Mortgage Notes in
deciding whether to exercise its termination options. Such termination
options are valuable to Chevron Transport because they provide protection
against the risks of a decline in future vessel values
and a reduction in Chevron Transport's future needs for oil tankers. Chevron
Transport has analyzed various forecasts of future vessel values and its
future needs and based on that analysis Chevron Transport is unable to predict
whether it will or will not exercise the termination options with respect to
any or all of the Vessels. Accordingly, investors should not assume that the
Initial Charters will continue to be in effect beyond the first optional
termination date for each Vessel.
In deciding whether to exercise any termination option, Chevron Transport
anticipates that it will consider a variety of factors, including:
(i) Transportation requirements. At the time any termination option is
exercisable, Chevron Transport's perceived needs for marine transportation may
be insufficient to justify continuation of the related Initial Charter. Such
a development could result from changes in Chevron's supply or predicted
supply of crude oil, or from changes in crude oil demand or predicted demand.
Chevron Transport's perceived transportation requirements could justify
termination of an Initial Charter regardless of the rates which would then be
payable to charter a similar vessel and regardless of prevailing market prices
for the purchase of a similar vessel.
(ii) Charterhire rates and vessel purchase prices. At the time any
Initial Charter is terminable, the amounts payable to charter or purchase a
similar vessel might be sufficiently low to make termination of such
Initial Charter attractive to Chevron Transport. Chevron and Chevron
Transport believe that such a result would depend primarily upon the
worldwide supply of or demand for oil tankers.
(iii) Obsolescence. For a variety of legal, regulatory, technological and
other reasons, a Vessel might become obsolete before or during the period of
exercisability of the related termination option, making it more likely that
Chevron Transport would terminate the related Initial Charter. Many of the
factors which could cause such obsolescence, such as changes in government
regulations or developments in ship construction technology, are outside of
the control of Chevron and Chevron Transport.
The Term Mortgage Notes are not obligations of, and are not guaranteed by,
Chevron Transport or Chevron. This Prospectus does not contain certain
important information necessary to evaluate an investment in the Term Mortgage
Notes. Statements in the Term Mortgage Notes Prospectus are made by
California Petroleum and the Owners rather than by Chevron or Chevron
Transport. Chevron and Chevron Transport assume no responsibility and shall
have no liability for such statements. This Prospectus does not constitute an
offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security other than the
Chevron Obligations.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Neither Chevron nor Chevron Transport will receive any proceeds with
respect to the issuance of the Chevron Obligations other than as set forth
below. The Chevron Obligations will be issued only in connection with the
sale by California Petroleum of the Term Mortgage Notes. Chevron and
Chevron Transport have been advised by California Petroleum that the
proceeds from the sale of the Term Mortgage Notes, together with the
proceeds from the Serial Mortgage Notes, will be loaned by California
Petroleum to the Owners to fund the acquisition of the Vessels from Chevron
Transport and to pay the underwriting commissions and certain fees and
expenses as set forth on the cover of the Term Mortgage Notes Prospectus.
The Vessels will be acquired by the Owners on the Closing Date for the
offering of the Notes, and each Vessel will be chartered on such date by
Chevron Transport. The net proceeds of the sale of the Notes to be applied
by the respective Owners to purchase the Vessels from Chevron Transport
will be approximately $80,666,667 for each double-hulled Vessel and
$40,000,000 for the single-hulled Vessel.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Chevron
The selected financial information presented in the table below should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related notes contained in Chevron's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1993 referred to under "Incorporation of Certain
Documents by Reference." The selected financial information for each of the
five years in the period ended December 31, 1993 has been derived from
audited financial statements, while the amounts for the nine months ended
September 30, 1994 have been derived from unaudited financial statements.
In the opinion of Chevron's management, the interim data includes all
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
period. These adjustments were of a normal recurring nature except for the
special items described in the third quarter 1994 earnings press release
which was filed with the Commission as a part of Chevron's October 25, 1994
Current Report on Form 8-K. Chevron adopted Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions," and No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
effective January 1, 1992.

(1) All per share amounts reflect a two-for-one stock split in May 1994.
The ratios of earnings to fixed charges set forth in the table above are
computed using amounts for Chevron as a whole, including its majority owned
subsidiaries and its proportionate share of 50 percent owned entities
(primarily the Caltex Group of Companies). For the purpose of determining
earnings in the calculation of the ratios, equity in net income of less than
50 percent owned affiliates is adjusted to the amount of distributions
received (but not undistributed amounts). In addition, consolidated income
before cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles is increased by
income taxes, previously capitalized interest charged to earnings during the
period, the minority interest's share of net income, and fixed charges,
excluding capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest on debt
(including capitalized interest and amortization of debt discount and expense)
and a portion of rentals determined to be representative of interest.
SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL DATA
Chevron Transport
Chevron Transport, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Chevron, is
the principal operator of Chevron's international tanker fleet. Chevron
Transport derives most of its shipping revenues by providing transportation
services to Chevron affiliates. The following table sets forth certain
summary financial data for Chevron Transport and its subsidiaries (Chevron
Tanker Bermuda Limited, Chevron Manning Services Limited and Chevron Product
Carriers Corporation). The data has been derived from audited financial
statements prepared by Chevron Transport and its subsidiaries on a stand alone
basis in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The
financial information at and for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 has
been derived from unaudited financial statements which in the opinion of
Chevron Transport management reflect all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of Chevron
Transport's financial position and results of operations for such periods.

(1) Effective January 1, 1993, Chevron Transport adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for
Income Taxes." In prior periods, Chevron Transport accounted for income
taxes in accordance with SFAS 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
THE CHEVRON OBLIGATIONS
The Chevron Obligations will arise pursuant to the Initial Charters and
the Chevron Guarantee. The forms of the Initial Charters and the Chevron
Guarantee have been filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which
this Prospectus is a part. The following statements are summaries and do not
purport to be complete. The summaries make use of terms defined in the
Glossary attached hereto, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to
all of the provisions of the Initial Charters and the Chevron Guarantee.
The Vessels
The Vessels are currently owned and operated by Chevron Transport in the
business of maritime transportation of oil. Each Vessel is a Suezmax oil
tanker designed to Chevron Transport's specifications. The Vessels consist of
the Samuel Ginn ("S. Ginn") and the Chevron Mariner, each of which is a
150,000 deadweight tonne, double-hulled tanker; the Condoleezza Rice ("C.
Rice"), a 130,000 deadweight tonne, double-hulled tanker; and the William E.
Crain ("W.E. Crain"), a 150,000 deadweight tonne, single-hulled tanker.
Term of the Initial Charters
On the Closing Date, the Owners will each purchase a Vessel from Chevron
Transport, and Chevron Transport will charter each such Vessel from its Owner
under an Initial Charter commencing on such date. Each Initial Charter will
expire on _________, 2014, subject to Chevron Transport's right to terminate
each Initial Charter as described below. See "--Termination Options." If (a)
Chevron Transport exercises its termination option with respect to an Initial
Charter for any Vessel and makes the related Termination Payment or (b) a
Total Loss occurs with respect to a Vessel and Chevron Transport makes the
payments required under the related Initial Charter, then such Initial Charter
will continue in effect with respect to Chevron Transport's obligation to make
such Termination Payment or payment upon Total Loss, as the case may be, until
the expiration of certain periods specified in the Initial Charter during
which periods such Termination Payment or payment upon Total Loss, as the case
may be, might be a voidable payment under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
creditor's rights or similar laws. For any Initial Charter, the period from
the date of commencement of such Initial Charter to the expiration or earlier
termination of such Initial Charter will be referred to in this Prospectus as
the "Initial Charter Period."
Use and Trade of the Vessel
Chevron Transport will have full use of each Vessel during the term of
the Initial Charter Period and will have the right to operate the Vessel
throughout the world (within Institute Warranty Limits) in the carriage of
suitable lawful merchandise. As to those trades in which a Vessel is
employed, Chevron Transport shall comply with any and all requirements
regarding financial responsibility or security in respect of oil or other
pollution damage as required by any government, any state or other political
subdivision thereof, or any entity exercising executive, legislative,
judicial, regulatory or administrative functions of or pertaining to
government and any other governmental entity with authority over Chevron
Transport or the related Owner, as the case may be, or ownership, use and
operation of such Vessel (whether or not such requirement has been lawfully
imposed or not) to enable such Vessel, without penalty or charges, lawfully to
enter, remain at, or leave any port, place, territorial or contiguous waters of
any country, state or municipality in performance of the related Initial
Charter without delay. Chevron Transport shall make and maintain all
arrangements for a security bond or otherwise as may be necessary to satisfy
such requirements at Chevron Transport's sole expense and Chevron Transport
shall indemnify the related owner against any and all losses, damages, claims,
expenses or liabilities incurred by reason of Chevron Transport's failure to
comply with the requirements described in this paragraph. Chevron Transport
shall enter and maintain each Vessel under the TOVALOP Scheme or under any
similar compulsory scheme during the term of each Initial Charter. In no
event will Chevron Transport carry on board a Vessel nuclear fuels or
radioactive products during the term of the related Initial Charter; provided,
however, with the prior written consent of the related Owner, Chevron Transport
may carry on board a Vessel radioisotopes used or intended to be used for any
industrial, agricultural, medical or scientific purposes.
Flag and Name of Vessel
Chevron Transport shall, throughout the term of each Initial Charter,
maintain the documentation of the Vessel under the laws of the Registration
Jurisdiction at the related Owner's cost and expense, provided, however, in
the event that the costs and expenses of maintaining such documentation are in
excess of $________, then Chevron Transport shall either (i) pay all amounts
in excess of $________ or (ii) cooperate with the Owner to change the registry
or port of documentation of the Vessel. Chevron Transport will not change the
registry or port of documentation of the Vessel without prior written consent
of the related Owner, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or do
or suffer or permit to be done anything which will injuriously affect the
documentation of the Vessel as a vessel documented under the laws and
regulations of the Registration Jurisdiction. If Chevron Transport changes
the registry or port of documentation of the Vessel, it shall, at the time of
redelivery, if the related Owner so requests and at Chevron Transport's
expense, change the registry and port of documentation back to that of the
Registration Jurisdiction.
Chevron Transport shall have the right to re-name each Vessel, to paint
each Vessel in its own colors, install and display its funnel insignia and fly
its own house flag.
Covenants
Each Initial Charter will contain certain covenants pursuant to which
Chevron Transport will agree, among other things, that:
(a) Chevron Transport will maintain the Vessel in a good state
of repair and in efficient operating condition in accordance with good
commercial maintenance practice commensurate with other vessels in
Chevron Transport's fleet of similar size and trade, ordinary wear and
tear excepted;
(b) Chevron Transport will keep the Vessel with unexpired
classification in accordance with the highest classification of the
American Bureau of Shipping (or such other classification society as
shall previously have been approved in writing by the related Owner) and
other required certificates in force and shall make any improvement or
structural changes or acquire equipment necessary to comply with the
requirements of such classification;
(c) Chevron Transport shall not permit the Vessel to proceed to
any port which shall have been the subject of a prohibition by the
Registration Jurisdiction;
(d) In the event of hostilities in any part of the world Chevron
Transport will not employ the Vessel nor suggest her employment in
carrying any goods which are declared contraband nor suffer her to enter
to trade to any zone which is declared a "war zone" by the war risks
insurers unless Chevron Transport has made arrangements with the said
insurers for the payment of such additional premiums as said insurers
may require to maintain the relevant insurance in force or in any zone
in respect of which the war risks insurers have withdrawn cover for the
Vessel;
(e) Chevron Transport will not use the Vessel in any manner or
for any purpose excepted from any insurance policy or policies taken out
in compliance with the Initial Charter or for the purpose of carriage of
goods of any description excepted from the said insurance policy or
policies and shall not do or permit to be done anything which could
reasonably be expected to invalidate any of the said insurance policy or
policies;
(f) Chevron Transport shall man, victual, navigate, operate,
supply, fuel and repair the Vessel whenever required during the Initial
Charter Period and shall be responsible for all charges and expenses of
every kind and nature whatsoever incidental to their use and operation
of the Vessel under the Initial Charter, including any foreign, general,
municipal, value added or other taxes, except that Chevron Transport
shall not be responsible for documentation costs (except as otherwise
provided for in the Initial Charters) or for Owner Taxes;
(g) Chevron Transport shall drydock the Vessel and clean and
paint her underwater parts in accordance with good commercial practice,
but not less than as may be required by the American Bureau of Shipping
(or such other classification society as shall previously have been
approved in writing by the related Owner) in order to maintain the
Vessel's highest classification; and
(h) Chevron Transport will not allow, nor permit to be
continued, any Lien incurred by Chevron Transport or its agents, which
might have priority over the title and interest of the Owner in the
related Vessel, and will indemnify and hold the Owner harmless against
any Lien arising upon such Vessel during the Initial Charter Period
while the Vessel is under the control of Chevron Transport and against
any claims against the Owner arising out of or in relation to the
operation of the Vessel by Chevron Transport.
In general, all amounts, excluding certain indemnification payments and
documentation costs for the Owners' account, payable by Chevron Transport
shall be made without deduction for any taxes (including value added,
turnover, sales and use taxes) except as required by law, and Chevron
Transport shall, in addition to the sums payable by Chevron Transport under
each Initial Charter, pay such taxes as aforesaid as are required from time to
time by law to be paid by Chevron Transport; provided, Chevron Transport shall
not be liable for documentation costs (except as otherwise provided for in the
Initial Charters). Under each Initial Charter, the related Owner will agree
to take any lawful action to the extent necessary to prevent or avoid the
imposition of any taxes, including any withholding tax with respect to
charterhire, by any taxing jurisdiction (including the Registration
Jurisdiction for such Owner), including changing its jurisdiction of
incorporation or residence; provided, that it shall not be required to take,
or fail to take, any action (i) if in the opinion of counsel such act or
failure to act would violate applicable law or (ii) if in the reasonable
opinion of the Owner the actions necessary to avoid or prevent imposition of
such taxes would be unduly burdensome. For purposes of clause (ii) above, a
requirement to change the jurisdiction of the Owner's incorporation or
residence shall not be treated as unduly burdensome.
Charterhire
During the Initial Charter Period for each Vessel, Chevron Transport
shall pay charterhire for the use and hire of such Vessel on each ________ and
________, commencing on the first such date to occur following the
commencement of the related Initial Charter. During any extension of the
Initial Charter Period, the rate of hire shall be calculated on the basis of
the then current charterhire rate converted to a daily rate using a 365-day
year. If any payment of charterhire under the Initial Charters shall not be
paid when due interest shall accrue thereon at the Default Rate from and
including the due date to the date of actual payment (after as well as before
judgment).
The table below sets forth the charterhire payments for each Vessel
under the related Initial Charter (assuming for illustrative purposes only
that the interest rate per annum on the Term Mortgage Notes is 8.62%),
assuming that no Initial Charter is terminated.

* The actual charterhire payments will depend on final pricing information.
Insurance
Each Initial Charter provides that during the Initial Charter Period the
insurance arrangements in effect with respect to Chevron Transport's fleet at
the time of the commencement of such Initial Charter will be applicable to the
related Vessel and will satisfy the insurance requirements of the Initial
Charter, subject to adjustments of such insurance arrangements in light of
changes in market practice and in accepted tanker practice. Currently, Chevron
Transport's hull and machinery insurance includes a deductible of $15 million
per occurrence and its protection and indemnity insurance is subject to a $1
million deductible per occurrence (other than with respect to liabilities
involving pollution, as to which there is a nominal or no deductible). In
addition, each Initial Charter provides that Chevron Transport may self-insure
against the risks required to be covered thereunder. Therefore, there can be
no assurance that any insurance for such risks will be carried during the
Initial Charter Period for any Vessel or, if it is carried, as to the amount
of such insurance.
Insurance Proceeds
The proceeds of any insurances or entries referred to in the Initial
Charter will be applied as follows:
Until the termination of the Initial Charter, any claim under any such
insurance proceeds in respect of the related Vessel (other than in respect of
Total Loss) shall be paid directly to Chevron Transport. Chevron Transport
shall be liable for any loss of any part of or damage to the Vessel (other
than a Total Loss) during the Initial Charter Period from whatsoever cause
such loss or damage may arise, unless the same shall have been caused by the
negligence or willful act of Owners, their servants or agents (except where
Chevron Transport or its servants and agents are acting as agents of the
Owners).
Any claim in respect of a Total Loss shall be paid directly to the
related Owner or to a collateral trustee (the "Collateral Trustee") which will
hold certain collateral for the benefit of the holders of Notes pursuant to a
Collateral Trust Agreement with California Petroleum.
Payment on Total Loss
The amount payable on the date which is 90 days after the occurrence of
a Total Loss (the "Loss Date") by Chevron Transport shall be the sum of (i)
any deficiency between (A) the Stipulated Loss Value (which is an amount at
least sufficient to redeem the Allocated Principal Amount of Notes for such
Vessel) in relation to the period in question and (B) all insurance proceeds
for damage to or loss of the Vessel and amounts paid by any governmental
authority in connection with any requisition, seizure or forfeiture actually
received in hand by the related Owner or the Collateral Trustee, as assignee
of California Petroleum, prior to or on such Loss Date; and (ii) all
charterhire accrued (on a daily basis) but unpaid under the Initial Charter to
such Loss Date and any other sums due under any provisions of the Initial
Charter, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date upon
which any such charterhire or other sums was due until the date upon which
such calculations are made. In the event of a Total Loss, the Initial Charter
and the obligation of Chevron Transport to pay charterhire shall continue and
be payable until Chevron Transport has paid the amounts described above. The
obligations of Chevron Transport described above will apply regardless of
whether or not any moneys are payable under the insurances effected in
compliance with the Initial Charter in respect of the Vessel, regardless also
of the amount payable thereunder, regardless also of the cause of the Total
Loss and regardless of whether or not any of the said compensation shall be
payable.
Charter Events of Default
The following constitute events of default under each Initial Charter
("Charter Events of Default"):
(a) Chevron Transport shall default for two business days in the
payment of charterhire due under the terms of the Initial Charter;
(b) Chevron Transport shall fail for a period of 30 business
days after written notice to perform and observe any of the covenants,
conditions, agreements or stipulations on the part of Chevron Transport
to be performed or observed contained in the Initial Charter, other than
those referred to in clause (a) or (e) of this paragraph;
(c) Chevron Transport ceases doing business as a going concern
or generally ceases to pay its debts as they become due or any
proceedings under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws are instituted
against Chevron Transport or if a receiver or trustee is appointed for
Chevron Transport for any of its assets or properties, and such
proceeding is not dismissed, vacated or fully stayed within 60 days;
(d) Chevron Transport shall create or suffer to exist any
mortgage, charge, pledge or other like encumbrance over the Vessel or
any part thereof or shall have abandoned the Vessel (not including any
notice of abandonment which Chevron Transport may give to insurers under
the provisions of the Initial Charter regarding insurance in the event
of a Total Loss);
(e) Chevron Transport fails to comply with any of its
obligations as to insurance contained in the Initial Charter; and
(f) Chevron Transport shall within 30 days of any scheduled date
of redelivery under the Initial Charter fail to provide adequate bail or
security when required to do so in respect of any maritime lien,
possessory lien or statutory right in rem which may be acquired over the
Vessel in order to prevent the Vessel being arrested, impounded or
seized or if any such lien, right or claim over the Vessel is exercised
by the arrest, attachment, determination, impounding or seizure of the
Vessel under any distress, execution or other process, or any distress
or execution is levied thereon, and Chevron Transport fails to use its
best endeavors to procure the release of the Vessel therefrom within 30
days of any scheduled date of redelivery under the Initial Charter.
Remedies
If any Charter Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Owner under the related Initial Charter may, by written notice to Chevron
Transport, declare such Initial Charter to be in default and enforce any or
all of the remedies under such Initial Charter, including:
(a) requiring Chevron Transport, at its expense, to redeliver
the Vessel to the related Owner with Chevron Transport to have the same
obligations in connection with such redelivery as described below in
connection with redelivery of the Vessel at the termination of the
Initial Charter;
(b) retaking the Vessel by the related Owner or its agent,
without prior demand or legal process;
(c) holding Chevron Transport liable for all charterhire
payments payable before, during or after exercise of the foregoing
remedies and the remedy described in paragraph (d) below and for all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the related Owner (including
legal fees) by reason of the occurrence of any default or the exercise
of remedies by the related Owner; and
(d) the related Owner or its agent may sell the Vessel at public
or private sale, with or without notice to Chevron Transport,
advertisement or publication, as such Owner may determine, or otherwise
may dispose of, hold, use, operate, charter to others or keep the Vessel
idle.
The Collateral Trustee, as assignee of California Petroleum, would have
the right to exercise the rights of an Owner under an Initial Charter upon the
occurrence of a Charter Event of Default.
Liquidated Damages
Whether or not the related Owner shall have exercised, or shall
thereafter at any time exercise, any options, rights or remedies described
above, upon or as a consequence of a breach of contract by Chevron Transport
amounting to repudiation by Chevron Transport of the Initial Charter, the
related Owner may immediately require Chevron Transport to pay to such Owner
as liquidated damages for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty, an amount
equal to (i) the sum of (A) the applicable Stipulated Loss Value, (B) all
outstanding accrued and unpaid charterhire and (c) any other amounts due to
such Owner under the Initial Charter on or prior to the date of payment and
(ii) interest thereon (after as well as before judgment) at the Default Rate
from the date such amounts were payable to the actual date of payment.
Chevron Transport shall not be entitled to any part of the net proceeds of the
Vessel (if any) whether by way of rebate of charterhire or otherwise.
Redelivery
Unless a Vessel is a Total Loss or Chevron Transport purchase such
Vessel pursuant to the terms of the Initial Charter, Chevron Transport shall
at the termination of the Initial Charter redeliver the Vessel to the related
Owner at a safe and ice-free port or a place selected by Chevron Transport
within the Vessel's trading limits (within 10 steaming days from a recognized
loading area) or at such other safe port as shall be agreed between Chevron
Transport and the related Owner.
At or about the time of redelivery if the related Owner so requires, a
survey shall be made to determine the condition and fitness of the Vessel, her
machinery and equipment. In the event that such Vessel has been dry-docked
within 30 months prior to redelivery and Chevron Transport certifies in
writing that, to the best of its knowledge, the Vessel has had no bottom
touching since such dry-docking, such survey may be conducted while the Vessel
is afloat. The related Owner may require a divers' survey of the Vessel.
Chevron Transport shall bear all expenses of any such survey. Chevron
Transport shall at its expense make all such repairs and do all such work so
found to be necessary before redelivery or, at the related Owner's option,
shall discharge its obligations by payment of a sum sufficient to provide, at
the prices current at the time of redelivery, for the work and repairs
necessary to place the Vessel in the required structure, state and condition.
The Initial Charter Period shall be extended until the completion of any such
repairs and work found to be necessary or the payment of the amounts described
above. Each Vessel upon redelivery shall have her survey cycles up to date
and class certificates valid for at least six calendar months and Chevron
Transport shall ensure that Vessel shall have been dry-docked within 30 months
prior to redelivery.
Assignment and Sub-Charter
Chevron Transport may not assign all or part of its rights and
obligations under any Initial Charter nor may it charter the related Vessel by
demise to any other entity without the prior written consent of the related
Owner, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, subject always to the
Vessel being maintained and insured to the same standards as are adopted by
Chevron Transport in respect of the vessels owned by it; provided, however,
that Chevron Transport may assign its rights and obligations under any Initial
Charter to a corporation more than 50% of which is owned directly or
indirectly by Chevron so long as Chevron Transport remains responsible as
principal for the due fulfillment of the Initial Charter. Chevron Transport
may otherwise charter the Vessel without the prior consent of the related
Owner provided that Chevron Transport remains responsible as principal (or
appoints another person to be responsible in its stead) for navigating and
managing the Vessel throughout the period of such charter and for defraying
all expenses in connection with the Vessel throughout such period or
substantially all such expenses other than those directly incidental to a
particular voyage or to the employment of the Vessel during that period.
For each Initial Charter, the related Owner may not transfer or assign
to any other person or entity all or part of its rights or obligations under
such Initial Charter, except to California Petroleum (which assignment includes
the reassignment by California Petroleum of such Initial Charter as Collateral
to the Collateral Trustee), unless such transferee or assignee also assumes
the obligations of such Owner under the related Security Documents and Chevron
Transport shall have given its prior written consent to such assignment and
assumption, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Indemnity
Pursuant to each Initial Charter, Chevron Transport will indemnify the
related Owner against the following:
(a) all costs and expenses of operating and maintaining the
related Vessel and of operating, maintaining and replacing all parts
including (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) all
fuel, oil, port charges, fees, taxes, levies, fines, penalties, charges,
insurance premiums, victualing, crew, navigation, manning, operating and
freight expenses and all other outgoings whatsoever payable by the Owner
or Chevron Transport in respect of the possession or operation of a
Vessel or any part thereof, or the purchase, ownership, delivery,
chartering, possession and operation, import to or export from any
country, return, sale or disposition of such Vessel or any part thereof
or upon the hire, receipts or earnings arising therefrom (other than
Owner Taxes or documentation costs except as otherwise provided for in
the Initial Charter);
(b) all liabilities, claims, proceedings (whether civil or
criminal), penalties, fines or other sanctions, judgments, charges,
taxes, impositions, liens, salvage, general average, costs and expenses
whatsoever which may at any time be made or claimed by Chevron Transport
or any employee, servant, agent or sub-contractor, passenger, owner,
shipper, consignee, and receiver of goods or any third party (including
governments or other authorities) or by their respective dependents
arising directly or indirectly in any manner out of the design,
construction, possession, management, repair, certification, manning,
provisioning, supply or servicing of the Vessel (whether at sea or not)
or the chartering thereof under the Initial Charter whether such
liability, claims, proceedings, penalties, fines, sanctions, judgments,
charges, taxes, impositions, liens, salvage, general average, costs or
expenses may be attributable to any defect in such Vessel or the design,
construction, testing or use thereof from any maintenance, service,
repair, overhaul or otherwise and regardless of when or where the same
shall arise and whether or not such Vessel or the relevant part thereof
is in the possession or control of Chevron Transport (other than Owner
Taxes or documentation costs except as otherwise provided for in the
Initial Charter); and
(c) any and all losses, damages and expenses which Owner may
incur as a result of any oil or other pollution damage resulting from
Chevron Transport's operation of the Vessel under the Initial Charter,
including, but not limited to, such Owner's liability under OPA 90 or
the laws of any other jurisdiction relating to oil spills.
Chevron Transport's indemnity under each Initial Charter shall extend to
claims of persons (including governments or other bodies whether corporate or
otherwise) who have suffered or allege that they have suffered loss, damage or
injury in connection with anything done or not done by a Vessel, including in
connection with any oil or other substance emanating or threatening to emanate
from such Vessel and shall extend to levies, impositions, calls or
contributions on or required to be made by the Owner during or in respect of
the Initial Charter Period.
Termination Options
Under each Initial Charter, Chevron Transport has the right to terminate
such Initial Charter on any of four, in case of the double-hulled Vessels, or
three, in the case of the single-hulled Vessel, termination dates which, for
each Vessel, occur at two-year intervals beginning in 2002, 2003, 2004 or
2005, as the case may be. Chevron Transport is required to give the related
Owner (i) nonbinding notice of its intent to exercise such option, determined
on a good faith basis, at least 12 months prior to such termination date and
(ii) irrevocable notice of such exercise 9 months prior to such termination
date, if such termination date is the first of the termination dates for such
Vessel, or 7 months prior to such termination date, if such termination date
is subsequent to the first such termination date. Chevron Transport is
required to pay the Termination Payment to such Owner on or prior to the
termination date.
The table below sets forth the termination dates for each Vessel and the
amount of the Termination Payment (assuming for illustrative purposes only
that the interest rate per annum on the Term Mortgage Notes is 8.62%) that
will be payable if the related Initial Charter is terminated as of the
corresponding termination date.

Purchase Option
On the Term Mortgage Notes Maturity Date, so long as the related Initial
Charter has not been terminated earlier and no Charter Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and all payments due under such Initial Charter
have been paid in full, Chevron Transport shall have the right to purchase the
related Vessel at a purchase price equal to $1.00. Chevron Transport is
required to give the related Owner at least 90 days' prior written notice of
its election to so purchase the related Vessel.
Chevron Guarantee
Chevron will fully and unconditionally guarantee the due and faithful
performance by Chevron Transport under each Initial Charter of all of Chevron
Transport's liabilities and responsibilities thereunder and under any
supplement, amendment, change or modification thereof agreed to by Chevron
Transport.
Governing Law
Each Initial Charter shall be governed by and be construed in accordance
with the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the
State of New York.
Non-Disturbance
Each Initial Charter states that it shall always be subordinate to the
related Mortgage. Pursuant to the terms of each Initial Charter, each Owner
agrees that the related Mortgage and any other mortgage thereafter placed on
the Vessel by such Owner will contain a provision to the effect that
throughout the term of the related Initial Charter, so long as no Charter
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and so long as Chevron
Transport shall have performed its obligations thereunder, if the mortgagee
under such Mortgage exercises any of the rights and remedies afforded to it
pursuant to such Mortgage or any such other mortgage or by law, such exercise
shall be in such manner as to permit the continued utilization and operation
of the Vessel under the Initial Charter with the minimum disruption of service.

Item 15.Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Chevron Transport
Article N of Chevron Transport's Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, provides as follows:
"N. The Corporation shall indemnify its directors or officers, or
former directors or officers, or any person who may have served at its
request as a director or officer of another corporation in which it owns
shares of capital stock or of which it is a creditor, against expenses
actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense
of any action, suit or proceeding in which they, or any of them, are
made parties, or a party by reason of being or having been directors or
officers of the Corporation, except in relation to matters as to which
any such director or officer or person shall be adjudged in such action,
suit or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in
performance of duty. Such indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled, under
any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise."
Chevron Transport is a corporation organized under the laws of the
Republic of Liberia. Section 6.13 of the Liberian Business Corporation Act of
1976 provides that a Liberian corporation shall have the power to indemnify
any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was director or
officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of no contest, or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not
act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was unlawful. A Liberian corporation also has the power to indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him
or in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of its duty to the corporation unless and only
to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expense which the court shall deem
proper.
To the extent that a director or officer of a Liberian corporation has
been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to int he preceding paragraph, or in the defense of a
claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal
action, suit or proceeding may be paid in advance of the final disposition of
such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the board of directors in the
specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director
or officer to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that
he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this
section.
In addition, a Liberian corporation has the power to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer
of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director or officer against any liability asserted against him and incurred by
him in such capacity whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of Section 6.13.
Chevron
Article IX of Chevron's restated Certificate of Incorporation provides
as follows:
"1. A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the
Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of

the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders;
(b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (c) pursuant to section 174 of
the Corporation Law; or (d) for any transaction from which the director
derived an improper personal benefit.
2. To the fullest extent authorized by the Corporation Law, the
Corporation shall indemnify any Corporate Servant who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by reason of the
fact that such person was or is a Corporate Servant.
3. In serving or continuing to serve the Corporation, a Corporate
Servant is entitled to rely and shall be presumed to have relied on the
rights granted pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article IX,
which shall be enforceable as contract rights and inure to the benefit
of heirs, executors and administrators of the Corporate Servant; and no
repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article IX
shall adversely affect any right existing at the time of such repeal or
modification.
4. The Board of Directors is authorized, to the extent permitted by
the Corporation Law, to cause the Corporation to pay expenses incurred
by Corporate Servants in defendant Proceedings and to purchase and
maintain insurance on their behalf whether or not the Corporation would
have the power to indemnify them under the provisions of this Article IX
or otherwise.
5. Any right or privilege conferred by or pursuant to the provisions
of this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which
any Corporate Servant may otherwise be entitled.
6. As used in this Article IX:
(a) "Corporate Servant" means any natural person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
manager, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other organization or enterprise,
nonprofit or otherwise, including an employee benefit plan;
(b) "Corporation Law" means the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, as from time to time amended;
(c) "indemnify" means to hold harmless against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines (including excise taxes
assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Corporate Servant in
connection with a Proceeding;
(d) "Proceeding" means any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative;
and
(e) "request of the Corporation" includes any written
authorization by an officer of the Corporation."
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, in
which Chevron is incorporated, permits, subject to certain conditions, the
indemnification of directors or officers of a Delaware corporation for
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding in relation to certain matters against them as such directors or
officers.
The directors and officers of Chevron are covered by policies of
insurance under which they are insured, within limits and subject to
limitations, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of
actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed
as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, in which they are parties
by reason of being or having been directors or officers; Chevron is similarly
insured with respect to certain payments it might be required to make to its
directors or officers under the applicable statutes and Chevron's by-law
provisions.

Item 17. Undertakings.
Insofar as indemnifications for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, each of the registrants will,
unless in the opinion of their respective counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, the information omitted from the form of the prospectus filed as part of
this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
of prospectus filed by the registrants pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or
497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Chevron Corporation hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Chevron
Corporation's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
