As mentioned above in the Chairman’s letter, we are providing our proxy materials to our shareholders primarily over the Internet.

From that website, most shareholders will be able to view and/or print the proxy materials and vote their shares electronically. The Notice will also provide information regarding how shareholders may receive paper copies of the proxy materials, without charge, or electronic copies of the proxy materials via e-mail. This process will enable the Company to distribute its proxy materials electronically and, thereby, reduce the costs and environmental impact of printing and mailing paper copies of its proxy materials. Other shareholders have been mailed paper copies of our proxy materials. If you received our proxy materials by mail, the notice of annual meeting of shareholders, Proxy Statement and proxy card and 2009 Annual Report were enclosed.

VOTING METHODS

Internet Voting

All shareholders of record may vote by accessing the following website address: http://www.proxyvoting.com/tnp.

All street name holders may vote on the Internet by following the instructions in the Notice or by accessing the following website address: http://www.proxyvote.com.

Telephone Voting

All shareholders of record may vote by calling the following toll-free telephone number: 1-866-540-5760. Please follow the voice prompts.

If you are a street name holder, and you requested to receive printed proxy materials, you may vote by telephone if your bank or broker makes that method available to you in the voting instruction card enclosed with the proxy materials that your bank or broker sends to you.

Shareholders of Record and Beneficial Owners

If your shares are registered directly in your name on the books of the Company maintained with the Company’s transfer agent, BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, you are considered the “shareholder of record” of those shares and paper copies of our proxy materials will be mailed to you.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name (also called a “street name” holder), and the Notice is being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee how to vote and are also invited to attend the 2010 Annual Meeting. However, since you are not a shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the 2010 Annual Meeting unless you bring with you a legal proxy from the shareholder of record. A legal proxy may be obtained from your broker or nominee.

VOTING OF PROXY, REVOCATION

A proxy that is properly executed, whether on the Internet, by telephone or by mail, and not subsequently revoked will be voted in accordance with instructions contained therein. If no instructions are given with respect to the matters to be acted upon, proxies will be voted as follows: (1) for the election of Messrs. Stavropoulos and Nicholson as directors, (2) for the appointment of Ernst & Young (Hellas), Athens, Greece as the Company’s auditors and to authorise the Audit Committee to set their remuneration, and (3) otherwise in accordance with the best judgment of the person or persons voting the proxy on any other matter properly brought before the 2010 Annual Meeting. Any shareholder who votes by requesting a printed copy of the proxy materials and completing and returning by mail the proxy card or voting instruction card or by using the Internet or by telephone, may revoke his, her or its proxy or change his, her or its vote at any time before it is voted at the 2010 Annual Meeting by (A) delivering written notice to the Secretary of the Company of its revocation, (B) executing and delivering to the Secretary of the Company a later dated proxy by using the Internet, by telephone or by mail, or (C) by appearing in person at the 2010 Annual Meeting and voting his, her or its shares in person.

EXPENSES OF SOLICITATION

The expenses of the preparation of proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies for the 2010 Annual Meeting will be borne by the Company. In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited in person, by telephone, telecopy, electronically, or other means, or by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company who will not receive additional compensation for such solicitations. D.F. King Co. Inc. has been engaged by the Company to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $11,000 plus their costs and expenses. Although there is no formal agreement to do so, the Company will reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in forwarding the Notice and proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the Company’s Common Shares.

VOTING SECURITIES

Holders of the Company’s Common Shares as of the close of business on April 15, 2010 will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2010 Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof. On that date there were 37,619,292 Common Shares outstanding, the holders of which are entitled to one vote for each share registered in their names with respect to each matter to be voted on at the 2010 Annual Meeting. The presence in person or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters), of two shareholders of record will constitute a quorum at the 2010 Annual Meeting.

Assuming that a quorum is present at the 2010 Annual Meeting, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the 2010 Annual Meeting by holders of Common Shares present in person or represented by proxy. Approval of other items at the 2010 Annual Meeting requires that the number of votes cast in favour of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, whether in person or by proxy. Withholding authority to vote for directors and broker non-votes will not affect the election of directors or the outcome of the vote on other proposals.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS VOTING RECOMMENDATION

The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR Item No. 1, the election of each nominee to the Board of Directors and FOR Item No. 2, the appointment of Ernst & Young (Hellas), Athens, Greece as the Company’s auditors and to authorise the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors to set their remuneration.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our outstanding Common Shares as of April 15, 2010 held by:

• each person or entity that we know beneficially owns 5% or more of our Common Shares;

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In general, a person who has or shares voting power or investment power with respect to securities is treated as a beneficial owner of those securities. Beneficial ownership does not necessarily imply that the named person has the economic or other benefits of ownership. Under SEC rules, shares subject to options, warrants or rights currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days are considered as beneficially owned by the person holding those options, warrants or rights. The applicable percentage of ownership of each shareholder is based on 37,619,292 Common Shares outstanding on April 15, 2010. Except as noted below, the address of all shareholders, officers, directors and director nominees identified in the table and accompanying footnotes below is in care of the Company’s principal executive offices.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company’s business is managed under the direction of the Board, in accordance with the Companies Act of 1981 of Bermuda and the Company’s Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws. Members of the Board are kept informed of the Company’s business through: discussions with the Chairman of the Board, the President and Chief Executive Officer and other members of the Company’s management team; the review of materials provided to directors; and participation in meetings of the Board and its committees. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the full Board held three meetings. Each director attended all of the meetings of the Board with the exception of Dr. Patrinos who was absent from the May Board meeting. In addition, each director, except Dr. Patrinos in May 2009 and Mr. Jolliffe in November 2009, attended all of the meetings of committees of which the director was a member.

Documents Establishing Our Corporate Governance

The Board and the Company’s management have engaged in an ongoing review of our corporate governance practices in order to oversee our compliance with the applicable corporate governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and the SEC.

The Company has adopted a number of key documents that are the foundation of its corporate governance, including:

• a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors, Officers and Employees;

• a Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee Charter; and

• an Audit Committee Charter.

These documents and other important information on our governance, including the Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, are posted in the “Investor Relations” section of the Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited website, and may be viewed at http://www.tenn.gr. We will also provide any of these documents in hard copy upon the written request of a shareholder. Shareholders may direct their requests to the attention of Investor Relations, c/o George Saroglou or Paul Durham, Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited, 367 Syngrou Avenue, 175 64 P. Faliro, Athens, Greece.

The Board has a long-standing commitment to sound and effective corporate governance practices. The Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines address a number of important governance issues such as:

• Selection and monitoring of the performance of the Company’s senior management;

• Succession planning for the Company’s senior management;

• Qualifications for membership on the Board;

• Functioning of the Board, including the requirement for meetings of the independent directors; and

• Standards and procedures for determining the independence of directors.

12

The Board believes that the Corporate Governance Guidelines and other governance documents meet current requirements and reflect a very high standard of corporate governance.

Independence of Directors

The foundation for the Company’s corporate governance is the Board’s policy that a substantial majority of the members of the Board should be independent. With the exception of the two Executive Directors (Messrs. Tsakos and Saroglou) the Board believes that each of the other incumbent directors (Messrs. Stavropoulos, Jolliffe, Nicholson, Nusspickel, O’Neil, Paniguian and Patrinos) is independent under the standards established by the NYSE because none has a material relationship with the Company directly or indirectly or any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment as directors of the Company.

The Board made its determination of independence in accordance with its Corporate Governance Guidelines, which specifies standards and a process for evaluating director independence. The Guidelines provide that:

• A director cannot be independent if he or she fails to meet the objective requirements as to “independence” under the NYSE listing standards.

• If a director meets the objective NYSE standards, he or she will be deemed independent, absent unusual circumstances, if in the current year and the past three years the director has had no related-party transaction or relationship with the Company or an “interlocking” relationship with another entity triggering disclosure under the SEC disclosure rules.

• If a director who meets the objective NYSE independence requirements either has had a disclosable transaction or relationship or the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee requests that the Board consider any other circumstances in determining the director’s independence, the Board will make a determination of the director’s independence.

To promote open discussion among the independent directors, those directors met in 2009 in three regularly scheduled executive sessions without participation of the Company’s management and will continue to do so in 2010. Mr. Nicholson currently serves as the Presiding Director for purposes of these meetings.

Committees of the Board

The Board has established an Audit Committee and a Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee. The Board also has a Capital Markets Committee, a Risk Committee, an Operational and Environmental R&D Committee and a Chartering Committee.

Audit Committee

The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Jolliffe, Nicholson, Nusspickel and Stavropoulos, each of whom is an independent Director. Mr. Nusspickel is the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is governed by a written charter, which is approved and adopted annually by the Board. As stated above, the Board has determined that the continuing members of the Audit Committee meet the applicable independence requirements, and that all continuing members of the Audit Committee meet the requirement of being financially literate. The Audit Committee held

13

five meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, three of which were in person and two via telephone conference. Mr. Jolliffe was absent from the November 2009 meeting. The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board and is responsible for, among other matters:

• engaging the Company’s external and internal auditors;

• approving in advance all audit and non-audit services provided by the auditors;

• approving all fees paid to the auditors;

• reviewing the qualification and independence of the Company’s external auditors;

• reviewing the Company’s relationship with external auditors, including the consideration of audit fees which should be paid as well as any other fees which are payable to auditors in respect of non-audit activities, discussions with the external auditors concerning such issues as compliance with accounting standards and any proposals which the external auditors have made vis-à-vis the Company’s accounting standards;

• overseeing the Company’s financial reporting and internal control functions;

• overseeing the Company’s whistleblower’s process and protection; and

• overseeing general compliance with related regulatory requirements.

The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Nusspickel and Stavropoulos, whose biographical details are included herein, each qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under current SEC regulations and each is independent in accordance with the listing standards of the NYSE.

Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee

The members of the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee are Messrs. Jolliffe, Nicholson, Nusspickel, O’Neil, Paniguian, Patrinos and Stavropoulos, each of whom is an independent Director. Mr. Nicholson is Chairman of the Committee. The Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board and is responsible for:

• assisting the Board and the Company’s management in establishing and maintaining a high standard of ethical principles;

• ensuring appropriate independence of directors under NYSE and SEC rules;

• identifying and nominating candidates for election to the Board and appointing the Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s senior management team;

• designing the compensation structure for the Company and for the members of the Board and its various committees; and

14

• designing and overseeing the short-term and long-term incentive compensation program of the Company.

During 2009, there were three meetings of the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee. Dr. Patrinos did not participate in the May 2009 committee meeting.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Board Compensation

We pay no cash compensation to our senior management or to our directors who are senior managers. Since we have no salaried executive employees, we have not included a report on executive officer compensation in this Proxy Statement. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the aggregate cash compensation of all of the members of the Board was $460,000 as per the following annual fee allocation which was approved by the shareholders of the Company on May 31, 2007:

• Service as Chairman of the Board – $30,000

We do not provide benefits for directors upon termination of their service with us.

Management Company

Pursuant to a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Tsakos Energy Management Limited, a Liberian corporation (“Tsakos Energy Management”), our operations are executed and supervised by Tsakos Energy Management, based on the strategy devised by our Board of Directors and subject to the approval of our Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, dated March 8, 2007, effective from January 2008, there is a prorated adjustment to the management fee if at the beginning of each year the Euro has appreciated by 10% or more against the U.S. Dollar since January 1, 2007. In addition, there is an increase each year by a percentage figure reflecting 12 month Euribor, if both parties agree. As a consequence, from January 1, 2008, monthly management fees for operating vessels were increased accordingly to $23,000 per owned vessel and $17,000 for chartered-in vessels. In accordance with the terms of the same agreement, the monthly fee was increased, effective January 1, 2009, to $23,700 for owned vessels and $17,500 for vessels chartered-in or chartered out on a bareboat basis and vessels under construction. Effective January 1, 2010, the monthly fees were raised to $24,000 and $17,700 respectively. Also, under the terms of the Management Agreement, Tsakos Energy Management provides supervisory services for the construction of new vessels for a monthly fee. Such monthly fees were $17,500 per vessel in 2009, $17,000 in 2008 and $15,000 in 2007. These fees in total amounted to $0.90 million, $1.22 million and $1.83 million during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and are either accounted for as part of the construction costs for delivered vessels or are included in advances for vessels under construction. Management fees (including supervisory fees for the construction of new vessels) paid to Tsakos Energy Management in 2009, 2008, and 2007 were $13.8 million, $12.9 million and $11.3 million, respectively.

16

Management Compensation

Our senior managers, other than Mr. Tsakos, receive salaried compensation from Tsakos Energy Management, which receives a monthly management fee from the Company pursuant to the Management Agreement to provide overall executive and commercial management of its affairs. Messrs. Tsakos, Saroglou, Durham and Jadro serve as President and Chief Executive Officer, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Marine Officer, respectively. Such individuals are employees of Tsakos Energy Management and, except for the equity compensation discussed below, are not directly compensated by the Company.

The policy of the Committee is to structure the Management Agreement and the directors’ compensation arrangements so as to enable the Company and Tsakos Energy Management to attract, motivate and retain high performance executives and ship personnel who are critical to our long-term success. The policy is designed to link compensation to success in achievement of our business plans and a number of corporate, financial and operational goals.

The Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee has adopted a short-term performance incentive program for Tsakos Energy Management based on the return on equity (“R.O.E.”) measured by the book value per share at the beginning of each fiscal year and basic earnings per share for that year. U.S. GAAP accounting defines the value of the components. The award scale for 2006, ranged from R.O.E. greater than 15% corresponding to an award amount of $1.25 million up to R.O.E. greater than 25% with an award amount of $3.5 million. For 2006, an incentive award of $3.5 million was approved by the Board of Directors and was expensed and recognized in accrued liabilities in the Company’s December 31, 2006 Consolidated Balance Sheets. For 2007, Tsakos Energy Management earned an award of $4.0 million, which was distributed to the senior personnel of Tsakos Energy Management and Tsakos Shipping whose performance was critical in achieving a return of equity of 24.2%. The ultimate award of the management incentive award is always at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.

In September 2007, the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee revised the incentive award scale, effective from January 1, 2008, as follows:

R.O.E.	Amount of award
15.0%	$	2.50 million
17.5%	$	3.25 million
20.0%	$	4.00 million
22.5%	$	4.75 million
25.0%	$	5.50 million

For 2008, the Company achieved an R.O.E. of 23.7% and the Board of Directors, at its March 17, 2009 meeting, approved the award of $4.75 million as per the above table. In the same meeting, the Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee, considering the current economic environment, revised the incentive award scale effective January 1, 2009 as follows:

R.O.E.	Amount of award
15.0%	$	3.00 million
17.5%	$	4.00 million
20.0%	$	5.50 million
22.5%		—
25.0%		—

17

Additionally in 2009, if the R.O.E. was less than 15.0% but greater than 10.0%, then an alternative award was possible if the Company’s R.O.E. exceeds the average R.O.E. of its peers (Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. and Teekay Corporation). In such case, the Board of Directors could have elected to award a bonus of $1.5 million. However, as the 2009 R.O.E. was less than 10.0%, no incentive award was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, nor has a scale yet been set for 2010.

Equity Compensation Awards

The Company’s directors and senior management are also eligible to receive equity compensation awards directly from the Company under the Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited 2004 Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”).

The following restricted share units (“RSUs”) were granted by the Company in 2006, 2007 and in 2009 under the 2004 Plan:

2006		2007		2009

In 2008 total compensation expense was $3.05 million, consisting of: $1.24 million for directors, officers and crew members of the Company and $1.81 million for other recipients. In 2007, total compensation expense was $5.67 million consisting of: $1.66 million for directors, officers and crew members of the Company and $4.01 million for other recipients. In 2006, compensation expense amounted to $0.22 million relating to employees only. Of the aggregate 605,650 RSUs awarded in 2007 and 2006, 311,650 had vested and 11,000 were forfeited as of December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2009, the total compensation cost related to the non-vested RSUs not yet recognized is $1.59 million (versus $1.02 million at December 31, 2008).

18

The Corporate Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee approved on March 17, 2009, the further grant of 110,000 RSUs to the officers of the Company and employees of related companies. These grants became effective on June 30, 2009 and will vest 50% on June 30, 2010 and 50% on December 31, 2011. Additionally, in March 2009, 11,800 RSUs, which will vest on May 29, 2010, were issued to non-executive directors (with the exception of Mr. Paniguian). Of the 727,450 RSUs awarded in 2009, 2007 and 2006, 311,650 were vested and 16,300 were forfeited as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding grants is 1.1 years.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence and financial literacy requirements set forth by the SEC and the NYSE, and that Francis T. Nusspickel and D. John Stavropoulos each qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors operates pursuant to a written charter. A printable version of the charter may be accessed through the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at http://www.tenn.gr. The charter describes the Committee’s purpose, which is to assist the Board in its general oversight of: (1) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and the Company’s financial reporting processes and systems of internal control, (2) the qualifications, independence and performance of the Company’s independent public accounting firm and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function, (3) the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements involving financial, accounting and internal control matters, (4) investigations into complaints concerning financial matters and (5) risks that may have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Audit Committee reviews and assesses the adequacy of its charter on an annual basis. The Audit Committee last reviewed its charter in May, 2009, and at that time determined that no changes were required in light of changing business, legal or other conditions. The Audit Committee has also adopted pre-approval policies and procedures regarding the retention of the Company’s independent auditors (and certain other independent audit firms) to provide audit and non-audit services and for the retention of any firm to provide audit services.

The Company’s management is responsible for the Company’s financial reporting process, including its system of internal control over financial reporting, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Ernst & Young (Hellas), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for expressing an opinion based on their audits of the consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting. In accordance with its written charter, the Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in its oversight.

Further, the Audit Committee reviews reports prepared by management on various matters including critical accounting policies and issues, material written communications between the independent auditors and management, significant changes in the Company’s selection or application of accounting principles and significant changes to internal control procedures. It is not the duty or responsibility of the Audit Committee to conduct auditing and accounting reviews or procedures.

In discharging its oversight responsibilities with respect to the audit process, the Audit Committee: (1) has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young (Hellas) required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Ernst & Young’s (Hellas) communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Ernst & Young (Hellas) that firm’s independence from the Company and management; (2) discussed with Ernst & Young (Hellas) any relationships that may impact its objectivity and independence; and (3) considered whether the non-audit services provided to the Company by Ernst & Young (Hellas) are compatible with maintaining their independence. The Audit Committee also reviewed with the independent auditing firm their identification of audit risk, audit plans

20

and audit scope, as well as all communications required by generally accepted auditing standards, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and its independent public auditors the Company’s 2009 annual audited consolidated financial statements, including a review of the “Managements’ Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as well as the Company’s earnings press releases and information related thereto.

During fiscal year 2009, the Audit Committee held five meetings, three of which were in person. During such in person meetings, the Audit Committee met with representatives of the independent public accounting firm, both with management present and in private sessions without management present, to discuss the results of the audit and to solicit their evaluation of the Company’s accounting principles, practices and judgments applied by management and the quality and adequacy of the Company’s internal controls. At such in person meetings, the Audit Committee also met in private sessions with the Director of Internal Audit, who reports directly to the Committee, to discuss audit results for 2009 and audit plans for 2010.

As part of its oversight role and in reliance upon its reviews and discussions as outlined above, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management its assessment and report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, which was made using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. The Audit Committee also reviewed and discussed with Ernst & Young (Hellas) its attestation report on internal control over financial reporting. This report is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, which was filed with the SEC on April 9, 2010.

In performing the above described functions, the Audit Committee acts only in an oversight capacity and necessarily relies on the work and assurances of the Company’s management and independent public accounting firm, which, in their report, express an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s annual financial statements to accounting principle generally accepted in the United States.

Based upon the Audit Committee’s discussion with the Company’s management and Ernst & Young (Hellas) and the Audit Committee’s review of the annual audited consolidated financial statements, representations of the Company’s management and the report of the independent public accountants to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

21

The Audit Committee also approved, subject to stockholder ratification, the selection of Ernst & Young (Hellas) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2010.

Chairman’s Letter

April 15, 2010

Dear Fellow Shareowners:

Tsakos Energy Navigation (TEN) has completed its sixteenth year of profitable operations. During this period the tanker industry has experienced four significant down-cycles including the present one. During that span of time the fleet has expanded from four ships to 49 vessels today, including three newbuildings to be delivered through 2011.

TEN has generated a profit in each of the sixteen years since inception while at the same time has built a young and growing fleet with an average age of 6.7 years as of year end 2009 compared with an industry standard of 9.0 years. TEN enjoys long established relationships with several leading clients. Its strategy to serve the diverse needs of its charterers is reflected by its balanced fleet of 25 crude carriers ranging from VLCCs to Aframaxes and 23 product carriers of varying sizes, plus one LNG transporter. Importantly 22 of the vessels are ice-class. The combination of solid client relationships built on quality service with a modern, diversified fleet supported by a sound financial base position TEN to realize its vision as a major force in the transport of energy.

INDUSTRY CHALLENGES

Protection of the environment has taken on an increased urgency. The transportation industry including sea vessels is a focal point with regulatory constraints and oversight in the spotlight. This is in parallel with ever higher standards required by major charterers implemented through more comprehensive and more frequent vetting procedures.

Higher oil prices and the trend to cleaner burning fuel have combined to significantly increase the costs of bunkers and lubricants. At the same time personnel expenses continue to rise as the pool of experienced seafarers expands much slower than the fleets they serve. The return of piracy adds to operating risk and expenses. The pressures on the US dollar are an additional burden. Needless to say, attention to expense management with stress on productivity will be ever more vital. The soon to be operational joint venture of Tsakos Shipping and Trading and Columbia ShipManagement, which will assume the responsibility of technical management of TEN’s fleet, offers increased opportunities for economies of scale and employment of best practices.

OUTLOOK FOR 2010

Last year we asked “In such a chaotic and stressed economic and financial environment, what can go right?” We responded, “short term, the answer is very little.” We have been reminded by the tragic earthquakes in Haiti and Chile that the terrible damage of the initial shake is only prologue to what follows in the violent aftershocks. Financial and economic failures have similar follow-on events such as the seize-up of trade finance and its impact on world commerce; the paralysis that results from toxic counterparty risks; the collapse in asset values of households and business; and most importantly the dreaded demise of jobs creation.

The massive stimulus programs around the world have helped to slow if not stop the bleeding. However, the aftershocks are still strong as evidenced by the re-evaluations of sovereign risks in the Middle East and much of Europe.

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2009 • Our People, Our Strength 2<        >3

Our People, Our Strength

Banks with the massive support of government capital and the low interest rates regimes of the central banks are mobile, but on crutches as they assess and reassess their portfolios of consumer credit, commercial real estate and sovereign loans. Their appetite to help finance the economic rebound is low calorie at best. The withdrawal of government stimulus programs will surely result in aftershocks and unforeseen imbalances in the world economy.

Against this backdrop, the tanker industry is struggling to recover after two years of shrinking demand for crude oil and its products. Pressures on supply/demand balance have been intensified by record deliveries of new tankers. The phase-out of single hull tankers this year will be helpful, but not a solution. The charter market thus far in 2010 has been mixed, but on the soft side. On a positive note the major charterers display a good appetite for longer term arrangements, albeit at moderate pricing levels. The general expectations for the balance of the year are cautious with few indications of a strong recovery. Overall tanker industry profits in 2010 should experience a return to the black.

The strategy of balanced employment with a bias for longer term contracts with assured minimum or fixed revenues has maintained profitability and visible cash flows even in distressed periods keeping TEN’s financial posture strong.

These characteristics provide confidence that once the industry’s supply/demand is brought to its normal balance, TEN’s financial results will again be very favorable.

TEN’s SHARE PERFORMANCE

The record of consistent profitability over its sixteen years of operations complemented by sixteen consecutive semi-annual dividends commenced in October, 2002, provide the foundation on which to continue to build shareholder value.

The shares of TEN are trading at levels last experienced a year ago and prior to that in early 2004. This is obviously a disappointment and a condition that management and the board of directors will strive to reverse.

Despite today’s low valuation, TEN has generated exceptional absolute and relative returns for its long-term shareowners. Since listing on the NYSE with its related IPO in March of 2002, the total returns (dividends plus stock appreciation) for holders of TEN’s shares have been 15.25%, p.a. Meanwhile the S&P 500 index has generated a return of 1.93%, p.a. Short-term reversals are painful, but TEN is committed to rewarding its shareholders in future years.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The shareholders Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held in Athens on Friday the 4th of June, 2010. The major proposals include the election of directors and the appointment of auditors for the current fiscal year. During the period immediately following the AGM, Athens will host the bi-annual gathering of the shipping industry’s leading participants. It should prove to be a particularly informative renewal of this conference.

Yours sincerely,

D. John Starvropoulos

Briefing 47/2009

23 December 2009

A message to the world’s seafarers

The International Maritime Organization has decided to dedicate next year to you by choosing, as the theme for World Maritime Day, “2010: Year of the Seafarer”. Our intention is to pay tribute to you, the world’s 1.5 million seafarers – men and women from all over the globe – for the unique, and all too often over-looked, contribution you make to the wellbeing of all of us.

We will do so with deep appreciation, in recognition of the extraordinary service you render every day of your professional life, frequently under dangerous circumstances, in delivering, to the more than 6.5 billion people of the world, the wheat that makes our daily bread, the gas and oil that warms our homes or moves our vehicles and the gifts we will share and enjoy with our families and friends over this Festive Season.

At IMO, we are ever-conscious of the important role you play in helping us achieve safe, secure and efficient shipping on clean oceans – the goals that we, as the United Nations specialized agency charged with the regulation of international shipping and as a member of the global maritime community, have set ourselves.

And so, we will celebrate next year’s World Maritime Day theme with much pride in your contribution to our objectives, to the facilitation of more than 90% of the world’s trade, and to sustainable human development.

Hellenic nautical traditions are a rich and powerful mixture of myth, legend and fact which stretch back to the dawn of history. There is virtually no aspect of life in ancient or modern Hellas that the sea and our relationship with it has not touched. Indeed, for many of us it is central to our existence. These traditions are particularly strong in my native village of Kardamyla on the Aegean island of Chios. For example, as a child, I can remember the older men urging us to become a ‘kalos kapetanios’ - a good captain. My family has been involved in shipping for generations. So for me to go to sea was not much a matter of choice but more a matter of destiny. Our generation has witnessed vast changes in our way of life brought about in recent times by the explosion of computer and other technologies which have created new horizons, new disciplines and skills, astonishing communication facilities and huge reservoirs of information. Whilst we fully appreciate the advantages and benefits of modern technology in all its forms, we must keep in mind that its successful application will always depend on human skills and integrity and that it must be employed for the general benefit of the environment and humanity throughout the world. It is my firm conviction that real progress depends upon excellence in our services, respect for the environment and care and concern for human welfare and aspirations.

Captain Panagiotis N. Tsakos

Extracts from Captain Panagiotis N. Tsakos’ message in TST’s website

In so doing, we also seek to reassure you, at the “sharp end” of the industry, that we, who are responsible for the international regulatory regime and who serve shipping from ashore, do understand the extreme pressures that you face and that, as a result, we approach our own tasks with a genuine sympathy for the work that you carry out.

At the same time, we will seek to add impetus to the “Go to Sea!” campaign, which we launched in November 2008 to attract new entrants to the shipping industry and, in particular, to encourage young people to follow in your footsteps by becoming the seafarers of tomorrow. We launched that campaign in association with the International Labour Organization, the “Round Table” of shipping industry organizations (International Chamber of Shipping, International Shipping Federation, BIMCO, International Association of Independent Tanker Owners and International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners) and the International Transport Workers’ Federation, all of whom will be joining us in celebrating the Year of the Seafarer.

Last, but mostly importantly, we want to convey to you a clear message that the entire shipping community understands and cares for you—as shown by the efforts we make to ensure that you are fairly treated when ships on which you serve become involved in accidents; are looked after when you are abandoned in ports; are not refused shore leave for security purposes; are protected when your work takes you into piracy-infested areas; and are not left unaided when you are in distress at sea.

1.5 million seafarers serving the daily needs of more then 6.5 billion citizens of the world! It is a fact that goes unnoticed or is taken for granted by most, but one that should be trumpeted loud and clear. For seafarers the world over deserve our respect, recognition and gratitude and, during 2010, we at IMO are resolved to ensure that the world does take notice of your exceptional role and contribution and of the special debt that all of us owe to you. We thank you for that!

With best wishes for the Festive Season and the Year of the Seafarer – and a safe return home!

Information on the Company

Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited is a leading provider of international seaborne crude oil and petroleum product transportation services. In 2007 it also started to transport liquefied natural gas. It was incorporated in 1993 as an exempted company under the laws of Bermuda under the name Maritime Investment Fund Limited. In 1996, Maritime Investment Fund Limited was renamed MIF Limited. Our common shares were listed in 1993 on the Oslo Stock Exchange (OSE) and the Bermuda Stock Exchange, although we de-listed from the OSE in March 2005 due to limited trading. The Company’s shares are no longer actively traded on the Bermuda exchange. In July 2001, the Company’s name was changed to Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited to enhance our brand recognition in the tanker industry, particularly among charterers. In March 2002, we completed an initial public offering of our common shares in the United States and our common shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “TNP.” Since incorporation, the Company has owned and operated 67 vessels and has sold 23 vessels (of which three had been chartered back and eventually repurchased at the end of their charters. All three have since been sold again).

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2009 • Our People, Our Strength 14<        >15

Business Overview

Tsakos Energy Navigation owns a fleet of modern tankers providing world-wide marine transportation services for national, major and other independent oil companies and refiners under long, medium and short-term charters. We believe that we have established a reputation as a safe, cost efficient operator of modern and well-maintained tankers. We also believe that these attributes, together with our strategy of proactively working towards meeting our customers’ chartering needs, has contributed to our ability to attract leading charterers as customers and to our success in obtaining charter renewals.

The technical management of our fleet is undertaken by Tsakos Shipping and Trading (TST), one of the world’s largest independent tanker managers based on the number of vessels under management. Technical management includes managing day-to-day vessel operations, seeing to vessel maintenance and repair, overseeing regulatory compliance, hiring qualified officers and crew, purchasing stores, supplies, spares and lubricants and providing technical and shoreside support and supervising newbuilding construction at shipyards.

TST had a total of 72 operating vessels under management at April 15, 2010 (with a further six to be delivered, three of which are vessels under construction for Tsakos Energy Navigation). This enables TST to achieve significant economies of scale when procuring supplies and underwriting insurance. These economies of scale, as well as TST’s ability to spread their operating costs over a larger vessel base, have resulted in cost savings to us.

TST’s established operations have allowed us to manage the growth of our fleet without having to integrate additional resources. The size of our operating fleet increased from 231,103 dwt at inception to approximately 4.9 million dwt at April 15, 2010, with no significant adverse impact on the organization.

We have access to TST’s network offices around the world and a pool of over 2,500 available seafarers, which is supported by TST’s sponsorship of naval academies in Greece, the Philippines, Russia and the Ukraine, and a TST manning office in Odessa, Ukraine.

In February 2010, TST and the German ship management company, Schoeller Holdings Ltd., the owner of Columbia Ship-management Ltd. (“CSM”), agreed to form a joint-venture ship management company on an equal partnership basis to provide technical management services to Greek owners of vessels. The new company is named Tsakos Columbia ShipManagement (“TCM”) and will be based in Athens and will be staffed primarily with TST personnel. It is expected that by mid-2010 all vessels then managed by TST, including those of our fleet, will be taken over by TCM for technical management. It is expected that TCM and CSM will engage in the purchase of certain supplies and services on a combined basis. By leveraging the purchasing power of CSM, which currently provides full technical management services for over 150 vessels and crewing services for an additional 200 vessels, TCM expects to procure services and supplies at lower prices, thereby reducing overall operating expenses. We also expect to benefit from CSM’s significant crewing capabilities.

TST will continue to provide commercial management services for our vessels, which include chartering, charterer relations, vessel sale and purchase, and vessel financing.

As of April 15, 2010, our fleet consisted of the following 46 vessels (including a chartered-in suezmax):

Vessel Type	Number of Vessels in operation
VLCC	3
Suezmax	9
Aframax	10
Aframax LR2	3
Panamax LR1	6
Handymax MR2	6
Handysize MR1	8
LNG carrier	1
Total	46

Twenty-two of the operating vessels are ice-class specification. This fleet diversity, which includes a number of sister ships, provides us with the opportunity to be one of the more versatile operators in the market. The current fleet totals approximately 4.9 million dwt, all of which is double-hulled, compared to the worldwide average of 12% single-hulled dwt as of April 15, 2010. As of April 15, 2010, the average age of our operating fleet was 6.7 years, compared with the industry average of 9.0 years.

In addition to the vessels operating in our fleet as of April 15, 2010, we are building an additional three vessels. We expect to take delivery of one aframax tanker of DNA design, in the third quarter of 2010. We expect delivery of two suezmax tankers in the second and third quarters of 2011. In the second quarter of 2010 we intend to deliver the vessel. Marathon to its buyer, and complete the bare-boat charter of the suezmax Nordic Passat (the former Decathlon, which is currently included in our fleet). The resulting fleet (including the newbuildings and assuming no further sales) would comprise of 48 vessels with approximately 5.1 million dwt.

We believe the following factors distinguish us from other public tanker companies:

• Modern, high-quality, fleet

We own a fleet of modern, high-quality tankers that are designed for enhanced safety and low operating costs. The average age of our vessels is 6.7years, compared to an industry average of 9.0 years. Since inception, we have committed to investments of over $3.4 billion, including investments of approximately $2.5 billion in newbuilding constructions, in order to maintain and improve the quality of our fleet. We believe that increasingly stringent environmental regulations and heightened concerns about liability for oil pollution have contributed to a significant demand for our vessels by leading oil companies, oil traders and major government oil entities. TST, the technical manager of our fleet, has received ISO 14001 certification, based in part upon audits conducted on our vessels.

• Diversified fleet

Our diversified fleet, which includes VLCC, suezmax, aframax, panamax, handysze and handymax tankers, as well as one LNG carrier, allows us to better serve our customers’ international crude oil and petroleum product transportation needs. We have also committed a sizable part of our newbuilding and acqusition program to ice-class vessels. At April 15, 2010, we had twenty-two ice-class vessels. Additionally, we have entered the LNG market with the delivery of our LNG carrier in 2007.

• Stability throughout industry cycles

Historically, we have employed a high percentage of our fleet on long and medium-term employment with fixed rates or minimum rates plus profit sharing agreements. We believe this approach has resulted in high utilization rates for our vessels. At the same time, we maintain flexibility in our chartering policy to allow us to take advantage of favorable rate trends through spot market employment and contract of affreightment charters with periodic adjustments. Over the last five years, our overall average fleet utilization rate was 97.2%.

• Industry recognition

For over 40 years, the Tsakos Group has maintained relationships with and has achieved acceptance by national, major and other independent oil companies and refiners. Several of the world’s major oil companies and traders, including Houston Refining, PDVSA, ExxonMobil, FLOPEC, Vitol, Shell, BP, Sunoco, Tesoro, Petrobras, Trafigura, Glencore and Neste Oil are among the regular customers of the Tsakos Group and of Tsakos Energy Navigation, in particular.

• Significant leverage from our relationship with TST and TCM

We believe the expertise, scale and scope of TST are key components in maintaining low operating costs, efficiency, quality and safety. We leverage TSTs reputation and longstanding relationships with leading charterers to foster charter renewals. In addition, it is expected that TCM and CSM will engage in the purchase of certain supplies and services on a combined bass. By leveraging the purchasing power of CSM, which currently provides full technical management services for over 150 vessels and crewing services for an additional 200 vessels, TCM expects to procure services and supplies at lower prices, thereby reducing overall operating expenses. We also expect to benefit from CSMs significant crewing capabilities.

Fleet Deployment

We strive to optimize the financial performance of our fleet by deploying at least two-thirds of our vessels on either time charters or period employment with variable rates. In the past two years, this proportion has been over 85% as we took proactive steps to meet any potential impact of the expanding world fleet on freight rates. The remainder of the fleet is in the spot market. We believe that our fleet deployment strategy provides us with the ability to benefit from increases in tanker rates while at the same time maintaining a measure of stability through cycles in the industry. The following table details the respective employment basis of our fleet during 2009 and 2008 as a percentage of operating days.

	Year Ended December 31,
Employment Basis	2009		2008
Time Charter - fixed rate	25	%	29	%
Time Charter - variable rate	44	%	54	%
Period Employment at variable rates	15	%	9	%
Spot Voyage	16	%	8	%
Total Net Earnings Days	16,631		15,712

Tankers operating on time charters may be chartered for several months or years whereas tankers operating in the spot market typically are chartered for a single voyage that may last up to several weeks. Vessels on period employment at variable rates related to the market are either in a pool or operating under contract of affreightment for a specific charterer. Tankers operating in the spot market may generate increased profit margins during improvements in tanker rates, while tankers operating on time charters generally provide more predictable cash flows. Accordingly, we actively monitor macro-economic trends and governmental rules and regulations that may affect tanker rates in an attempt to optimize the deployment of our fleet. Our fleet has six tankers currently operating on spot voyages.

Operations and Ship Management

Management policies regarding our fleet that are formulated by our board of directors are executed by Tsakos Energy Management under a management contract. Tsakos Energy Management’s duties, which are performed exclusively for our benefit, include overseeing the purchase, sale and chartering of vessels, supervising day-to-day technical management of our vessels and providing strategic, financial, accounting and other services, including investor relations. Our fleet’s technical management, including crewing, maintenance and repair, procuring insurance, and voyage operations, has been subcontracted by Tsakos Energy Management to TST. Tsakos Energy Management also engages TST to arrange chartering of our vessels. Six vessels were sub-contracted to third-party ship managers during part or all of 2009.

Operating and Financial Review & Prospects

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this annual report our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview

As of April 15, 2010, we operated a fleet of 46 modern double-hull tankers providing world-wide marine transportation services for national, major and other independent oil companies and refiners under long, medium and short-term charters and one LNG carrier. Our current fleet consists of three VLCCs, nine suezmaxes, thirteen aframaxes, six panamaxes, six handymaxes, eight handysizes and one LNG (liquefied natural gas) carrier. All vessels are owned by our subsidiaries. The charter rates that we obtain for these services are determined in a highly competitive global tanker charter market. We operate our tankers in markets that have historically exhibited both cyclical and seasonal variations in demand and corresponding fluctuations in charter rates. Tanker markets are typically stronger in the winter months as a result of increased oil consumption in the northern hemisphere. In addition, unpredictable weather conditions in the winter months tend to disrupt vessel scheduling. The oil price volatility resulting from these factors has historically led to increased oil trading activities. Changes in available tanker capacity have also had a strong impact on tanker charter markets over the past 20 years.

Results from Operations in 2009

The year 2009 proved to be a challenging year for the global economy, shipping and world trade. There was a widespread fear that the global economy could sink into a depression of the scale of 1929. A sharp decrease in seaborne oil trade during this crisis, a second consecutive year of declining oil demand for the first time since the early 1980s, large cutbacks in OPEC output with a high compliance level, combined with fleet growth, pushed industry spot rates to levels near or below vessels’ operating expenses. This started gradually in the second quarter of 2009, and in the typically low demand period of the third quarter, spot freight rates reached their year lows. On a positive note, however, the oil price contango led to increased tanker utilization as part of the global tanker fleet was used as oil storage vessels through the year for both crude oil and distillates.

Our fleet achieved voyage revenues of $444.9 million in 2009, a decrease of 28.6% from $623.0 million in 2008, despite an increase in the average size of the fleet to 46.6 in 2009 from 44.1 in 2008, and an increase in fleet utilization from 97.3% to 97.7% over the same period. The decrease in revenue was due to the significant decline in rates. The average daily time charter rate per vessel after deducting voyage expenses, decreased to $22,329 compared to $34,600 in 2008. Voyage expenses decreased, despite an increase in operating days on spot and contract of affreightment voyages, because of lower bunker prices caused by reduced oil prices. Operating expenses increased by only 0.6% to $144.6 million due to the increase in the size of the fleet and the repurchase of two vessels previously chartered-in, while average daily costs per vessel fell by over 8% due to reduced repair expenditure. During 2009, eight vessels underwent dry-docking for survey purposes and expenditure incurred on routine repairs and maintenance during dry-dock, which is expensed immediately, was considerably reduced from 2008 as most work was performed on relatively new vessels, which are expected to have lower repair and maintenance costs.

Depreciation was $94.3 million in 2009 compared to $85.5 million in 2008 due to the net addition of vessels. Management fees totaled $13.3 million for 2009 compared to $12.0 million for 2008, an increase of 10.5%, due both to the increase in number of vessels in the fleet and the increase in monthly fees. General and administrative expenses were $4.1 million during 2009 compared to $4.6 million during 2008. A gain on the sale of one vessel in 2009 amounted to $5.1 million, compared to the sale of one vessel in 2008 with a gain of $34.6 million. The Company incurred impairment charges relating to the three oldest vessels in the fleet totalling $19.1 million. Operating income decreased to $72.4 million in

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2009 • Our People, Our Strength 26<        >27

2009 from $278.8 million in 2008. Financing costs fell by 44.7% in 2009 to $45.9 million due to reduced interest rates and positive movements on non-hedging interest rate and bunker swaps. Net income was $28.7 million compared to $202.9 million in 2008. Diluted earnings per share was $0.77 in 2009 based on 37.20 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding compared to $5.33 in 2008 based on 38.05 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Some of the more significant developments for the Company during 2009 were:

• the delivery of the two aframaxes Ise Princess and Asahi Princess;

• the sale of the suezmax Pentathlon and agreement to sell the sister vessel Decathlon and two aframaxes, Pentathlon and Marathon;

• the agreements to build two suezmaxes for delivery in 2011;

• the dry-docking of Delphi, Didimon, Promitheas, Vergina II, Ajax, Apollon, Artemis and Afrodite for their mandatory special or intermediate survey;

• the buy-back of 245,400 common shares, and

• the initiation of an at-the-market offering for up to 3,000,000 common shares, and

• the payment to our shareholders a dividend of $0.85 per common share in April in respect of the fiscal year 2008 and $0.30 per common share in September, the first dividend with respect to fiscal year 2009. Total cash paid out on dividends amounted to $42.4 million.

The Company operated the following types of vessels during, and at the end of 2009:

Vessel Type	LNG carrier		VLCC		Suezmax		Aframax		Panamax		Handymax MR2		Handysize MR1		Total Fleet
Average number of vessels	1.0		3.0		9.9		11.8		7.0		6.0		8.0		44.1
Number of vessels (at end of year)	1.0		3.0		9.0		13.0		7.0		6.0		8.0		46.0
Dwt at end of year (in thousands)	85.6		900.0		1,475.0		1,401.0		490.0		318.0		298.0		4,922
Percentage of total fleet	1.7	%	18.1	%	29.7	%	28.2	%	9.9	%	6.4	%	6.0	%	100.0	%
Average age, in years (at end of year)	2.9		14.8		4.9		4.5		8.7		4.5		3.5		6.1

We believe that the key factors which determined our financial performance in 2009, within the given freight rate environment in which we operated, were:

• the diversified aspect of the fleet, including our acquisition in recent years of purpose-built vessels to access ice-bound ports and carry LNG (liquefied natural gas), which allowed us to take advantage of all tanker sectors;

• the benefits of the new vessels acquired in recent years in terms of operating efficiencies and desirability on the part of charterers;

• our balanced chartering strategy (discussed further below) which ensured a stable cash flow while allowing us to take advantage of the buoyant freight market;

• the long-established relationships with our chartering clients and the development of new relationships with renowned oil-majors;

• the continued control over costs by our technical managers despite pressures caused by a weakened dollar and higher operating and fuel costs;

• our ability to mitigate financial costs by negotiating competitive terms with reputable banks, and protecting interest rate levels through swap arrangements;

• our ability to manage leverage levels through cash generation and repayment/prepayment of debt;

• our ability to reward our shareholders through a dividend policy which is linked directly to the profitability of the Company;

• our ability to raise new financing through bank debt at competitive terms despite the current tight credit environment; and

• the sale of vessels when attractive opportunities arose.

We believe that the above factors will also be those that will be behind our future financial performance and will play an especially significant role in the current world economic climate as we proceed through 2010. To these may be added:

• a reasonable recovery in the crude charter market;

• the securing of a high level of utilization for our vessels (as at April 15, 2010, 70% of the operational days available for 2010, and 50% for 2011, excluding expected new deliveries, have secured employment);

• the continued appetite by oil majors to fix forward on medium to long term charters at economic rates;

• the delivery of the two newbuildings that will join the fleet in 2010; and

• the continued build-up of our cash reserves through operations, vessel sales and equity issuance.

Looking forward from a 2009 background of lower oil demand levels, high crude inventory levels, the continued lack of clarity over oil production from Iran, Nigeria and Iraq, and continued discussion by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) about production levels, there do now appear to be some more positive signs shrouded still in considerable uncertainty. Modestly rising oil demand and reduced inventory levels have nudged oil prices upwards and this may continue through 2010. Demand from China, India and other developing countries will continue to have a beneficial impact on transportation requirements for petroleum and its products, and a part of the feared extent of the increase in new vessel supply has been partly allayed by cancellations and delivery deferments and also by scrapping. We expect that 2010 will also prove to be a challenging year for the tanker industry, albeit more favorable in terms of oil demand and vessel supply. Nevertheless, the current economic and financial crises, together with the forecasted increase in the size of the tanker fleet, will continue to dampen the potential for reviving the returns from the transportation of oil to the levels seen in previous years. However, there are positive signs. The governments of the world continue to make an effort to revitalize the world economy. The rising level of oil prices has stopped production cuts. New trading patterns with long-haul requirements will continue to absorb many of the new vessels to be delivered and we are beginning to see the phase-out of single-hull tankers accelerate.

Subsequent Events

On February 3, 2010, the Company signed addendums to the shipbuilding contracts for the two suezmax tankers still under construction as of that date, by which the contract price was reduced by $2.5 million each in return for an accelerated schedule of payment installments. On February 23, 2010, the aframax tanker Parthenon, recorded in the consolidated Balance Sheet as Held-for-Sale, was delivered to its new owners. On March 2, 2010, the suezmax tanker Decathlon, recorded in the consolidated Balance Sheet as Held-for-Sale, was delivered to its new owners. On March 12, 2010, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.30 per common share to be paid on April 29, 2010, to shareholders of record on April 23, 2010. On March 24, 2010, the Company signed an agreement for the sale of the Hesnes for an amount of $7.4 million, before commissions and expenses. On April 8, 2010, the vessel was delivered to the buyers and related debt of $6,048 repaid. On April 9, 2010, the Company drew down $40.0 million on a 12-year term loan agreed in November 2009, relating to the delivery of the aframax Sapporo Princess delivered on April 14, 2010.

Chartering Strategy

We typically charter our vessels to third parties in any of three basic types of charter. First are “voyage charters” or “spot voyages,” under which a shipowner is paid freight on the basis of moving cargo from a loading port to a discharging port at a given rate per ton or other unit of cargo. Port charges, bunkers and other voyage expenses (in addition to normal vessel operating expenses) are the responsibility of the shipowner.

Second are “time charters,” under which a shipowner is paid hire on a per day basis for a given period of time. Normal vessel operating expenses, such as maintenance and repair, crew wages and insurance premiums, are incurred by the shipowner, while voyage expenses, including bunkers and port charges, are the responsibility of the charterer. The time charterer decides the destination and types of cargoes to be transported, subject to the terms of the charter. Time charters can be for periods of time ranging from one or two months to more than three years. The agreed hire may be for a fixed daily rate throughout the period or may be at a guaranteed minimum fixed daily rate plus a share of a determined daily rate above the minimum, based on a given variable charter index or on a decision by an independent brokers’ panel for a defined period. Many of our charters have been renewed on this time charter with profit share basis over the past two years. Time charters can also be “evergreen,” which means that they automatically renew for successive terms unless the shipowner or the charterer gives notice to the other party to terminate the charter.

Third are “bareboat charters” under which the shipowner is paid a fixed amount of hire for a given period of time. The charterer is responsible for substantially all the costs of operating the vessel including voyage expenses, vessel operating expenses and technical and commercial management. Longer-term time charters and bareboat charters are sometimes known as “period charters”. We also enter into “contracts of affreightment” which are contracts for multiple employments that provide for periodic adjustments, within prescribed ranges, to the charter rates. At various stages during 2009, six of our vessels also entered into and operated within a pool of similar vessels whereby all income (less voyage expenses) is earned on a market basis and shared between pool participants on the basis of a formula which takes into account the vessel’s age, size and technical features. Previously, none of our vessels had operated in a pool since January, 2007.

Our chartering strategy continues to be one of fixing the greater portion of our fleet on medium to long-term employment in order to secure a stable income flow, but one which also ensures a satisfactory return. This strategy has enabled us to level the effects of the cyclical nature of the tanker industry, achieving almost optimal utilization of the fleet.

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2009 • Our People, Our Strength 28<        >29

In order to capitalize on possible upturns in rates, we have chartered out several of our vessels on a basis related to market rates for either spot or time charter. As of April 15, 2010, we have 40 of our 46 vessels managed on time charter or other form of period employment, ensuring that at least 70% of 2010 availability and 50% of 2011 availability is already fixed.

Our Board of Directors, through its Chartering Committee, formulates our chartering strategy and our commercial manager Tsakos Energy Management implements this strategy through the technical manager, TST. They evaluate the opportunities for each type of vessel, taking into account the strategic preference for medium and long-term charters and ensure optimal positioning to take account of redelivery opportunities at advantageous rates.

The cooperation with TST enables us to take advantage of the long-established relationships they have built with many of the world’s major oil companies and refiners over 40 years of existence and high quality commercial and technical service. TST manages our vessels of the Company plus another 26 operating vessels, mostly container and dry cargo vessels, but also some single and double hull tankers. Apart from the customer relations, we are also able to take advantage of the inherent economies of scale associated with a large fleet manager and its commitment to contain running costs without jeopardizing the vessels’ operations. TST provides top grade officers and crew for our vessels and first class superintendent engineers and port captains to ensure that the vessels are in prime condition. It is expected that TCM will undertake the management of our vessels from mid-2010, while TST will continue to provide commercial services, primarily the chartering of our vessels.

General Market Overview World Oil Demand / Supply and Trade All text, data and charts provided by ICAP Shipping

Crude oil prices continued to weaken in the early part of 2009, with NYMEX WTI futures prices averaging $39/barrel in February, down from the peak of $145/barrel that was reached during July 2008. The weakness in prices prompted a strong response from OPEC, which had already announced at its December 2008 meeting that it would aim to cut crude oil production by 4.2 million bpd from September 2008 levels. Unlike on some previous occasions, the group was initially able to achieve a comparatively high level of compliance with production targets, reaching 77% compliance in February 2009. The sharp reduction in OPEC output was successful in stabilising crude oil prices, which rose thereafter and traded within what was felt to be a more comfortable range between $60-$80/barrel during the second half of the year, as the economic outlook improved and economic stimulus packages and renewed risk appetite led to a sharp re-bound in commodity prices. However the sharp reduction in OPEC production and exports undermined demand for crude oil tankers which fell sharply during the second quarter of the year and remained at low levels during the third quarter, before recovering towards the end of the year.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), world oil demand fell by 1.29 million bpd in 2009, the largest decline in demand since 1982. Large falls in demand were recorded in the OECD countries, particularly the United States, Japan and in Europe. U.S. demand fell by as much as 0.76 million bpd, Japanese demand decreased by some 0.43 million bpd and OECD Europe’s demand fell by some 0.79 million bpd. However, demand in developing countries continued to increase,

SEABORNE CRUDE OIL IMPORTS 2000 TO 2009

in spite of the global economic downturn. Chinese demand is estimated to have increased by as much as 0.61 million bpd, in part driven by the large economic stimulus package put in place by the Chinese government in November 2008. This was the largest reported increase in Chinese oil demand since 2004. Demand also continued to grow in India, with an increase of 0.17 million bpd reported, while demand in the other developing Asian countries grew by some 0.10 million bpd. Growth in each of these regions also outpaced the growth in demand seen in 2008. The pace of demand growth in the Middle East, Latin America and Africa slowed however, to 0.13 million bpd, 0.05 million bpd and 0.02 million bpd respectively.

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2009 • Our People, Our Strength 30<        >31

The sharp reduction in OPEC crude oil output meant that the overall supply of oil—including biofuels, condensates and oil from non-conventional sources—fell from 86.35 million bpd in 2008 to 84.74 million bpd in 2009. Although OPEC production started to increase after the low point seen in March 2009, average OPEC crude oil production was 2.52 million bpd lower in 2009 than in 2008.

The decline in OPEC crude oil production was partially offset by increases elsewhere, notably a 0.56 million bpd increase in U.S. production which was assisted by a benign hurricane season. Elsewhere there was a 0.2 million bpd increase in Russian production and a 0.28 million bpd increase in output from other countries of the Former Soviet Union. Brazil increased production by 0.12 million bpd. Seaborne crude oil trade is estimated to have fallen by 1.7 million bpd in 2009 or 4.4%, while crude oil tonne-miles trade (international trade x distance travelled) is estimated to have decreased by 4.8% as the reduction in trade was to a large extent focussed on long-haul exports from the Middle East.

Crude imports into the U.S., Europe and Japan fell substantially as refineries ran at lower levels due to weak refining margins. These declines were partially offset by increases in imports into both China and India where further demand growth and new refining capacity meant that refiners continued to import greater volumes. In China a more attractive product pricing mechanism also encouraged refiners to import and run more crude oil, and Chinese imports increased by 0.53m bpd.

A major development was the sharp increase in the numbers of tankers employed in storing both crude oil and refined products. From the fourth quarter of 2008 a steep contango price structure developed in crude oil and products forward price curves, which enabled oil companies and traders to store oil profitably. At the same time limited onshore storage capacity and lower charter rates for tankers made storage onboard vessels attractive, leading to as many as 45 VLCCs being utilised for storing crude oil by May 2009. While the number of VLCCs storing crude oil declined thereafter there was a sharp increase in the use of VLCC and Suezmax newbuildings employed in storing clean products cargoes and even greater use of both uncoated newbuilding Aframaxes and fully coated existing Aframaxes and Panamaxes in storing clean products. While the numbers of vessels employed in storage had begun to decline by February 2010, as many as 116 vessels were still being used for this purpose.

The global economic downturn and reduction in world oil demand also impacted the trade in refined oil products. Imports of gasoline, distillates, jet fuel and fuel oil into the United States, the world largest products importing country, declined from 2008’s level of 1.71 million barrels to 1.59 million bpd in 2009. Imports of gasoil and jet fuel into Europe were, however, higher than in 2008 as surpluses from Asia, the Former Soviet Union, North America and the Middle East continued to flow into the region—adding to the volumes in floating storage. Chinese exports of gasoline, kerosene and diesel increased from 8.0 million tonnes in 2008 to 15.4 million tonnes in 2009 as the start up of new refineries led to a surplus of clean products for export, particularly in the second half of the year. Resurgent demand for naphtha in the Far East in the second half of the year led to a sharp increase in trade that helped to drive earnings for LR products carriers higher, aided by the fact that a large proportion of the fleet was tied up in storage employment.

Looking forward, the IEA in its February 2010 report predicted a strong re-bound in oil demand in 2010, with global demand forecast to increase by 1.57 million bpd, the largest increase since 2004. Demand in the developed world is expected to stabilise, while further strong demand growth is predicted for developing countries in Asia in particular. Although the economic recovery remains fragile at present it is expected that, over the medium term, continued economic development in emerging economies will drive further oil demand growth. In its December 2009 Annual Energy Outlook, the U.S. Energy Information Administration projected in its Reference Case that global hydrocarbon liquids consumption will increase to 90.92 million bpd by 2015, compared to a level of 86.03 million bpd in 2008. Demand in developing countries was projected to be 5.17 million bpd higher than 2008’s levels by 2015, while consumption in the OECD countries was projected to remain 0.28m bpd below the 2008 figure.

World Tanker Fleet

Crude oil tanker fleet growth accelerated substantially in 2009. In the VLCC sector 53 vessels were delivered compared to 40 vessels in 2008, while 38 vessels are believed to have been removed from active service, compared to the 39 vessels removed in 2008. As a result the number of VLCCs in the fleet grew by 3.0%. At the start of 2010, 65 non-double hulled VLCCs remained in the active trading fleet. The removal of more of these vessels from service in 2010 will help to restrain fleet growth this year.

In the Suezmax sector 46 newbuilding were delivered from shipyards, although deliveries were heavily weighted towards the end of the year and many of the new deliveries were immediately employed in clean products storage. Both of these factors helped to restrain growth in the active crude oil trading fleet for much of the year. In addition, 7 more Suezmaxes

were removed from active service. Nevertheless, by the end of 2009, the Suezmax fleet had increased by 11.3% from the start of the year. Fleet growth in the Suezmax sector is also expected to be lower in 2010 as more non double hulled vessels are removed from service.

In the Aframax segment 96 vessels were delivered in 2009, while a further 19 non double hulled vessels were removed from service. As a result this sector saw fleet growth of 9%. As is the case with the Suezmax and VLCC sectors, Aframax fleet growth is also likely to be substantially lower in 2010, with both fewer deliveries and a greater number of the remaining 59 non double hulled vessels expected to be taken out of service.

Fleet growth in the Panamax tanker segment (60,000 – 80,000 dwt) was also high in 2009, at some 7.4% with 38 vessels delivered and 11 vessels removed from service. Fleet growth in this segment is expected to be low or even negative in 2010. In the MR products tanker sector (45,000 – 55,000 dwt), there was another year of very high fleet growth of 17.5% but growth in the more mature Handy tanker segment (27,000 dwt – 45,000 dwt) was much lower at just 0.2%. This meant that fleet growth in the combined MR and Handy segments totalled some 7.7%, with the addition of 179 new vessels and 55 older, mainly Handy tankers, removed from service. Fleet growth in this part of the fleet is also expected to be substantially lower in 2010 with negative fleet growth now likely in the Handy tanker segment and a reduced level of fleet growth in the MR segment compared to the last 2 years.

The total deep sea oil tanker fleet from 27,000 – 445,000 dwt increased by 8% in 2009 to 402 million dwt. A further 127 million dwt remains on order for delivery, while there is now just 40 million dwt of non double hulled tonnage to be removed from service under MARPOL Annex 1 regulations. The outlook for fleet growth over the next 2 years remains highly uncertain due to the continued difficulties that some ship owners are facing in securing finance for payments to shipyards, and also the uncertainty over the financial stability of some of the shipyards themselves. There is therefore significant potential for further delays to newbuilding delivery schedules and the possibility of the postponement or cancellation of more tanker newbuilding orders. Fleet growth in the tanker sector is expected to be significantly lower in 2010 than in 2009 and the aforementioned developments may alleviate some more of the supply side pressure on the tanker market over the next 3 years.

(Newbuilding and second hand price assessments were temporarily suspended in late 2008 and early 2009 due to a lack of liquidity in the ship sale and purchase markets)

Tanker newbuilding prices have fallen substantially since the third quarter of 2008. However, far fewer orders have been placed since then as the reduced availability of finance, weaker market conditions, the large existing orderbook and the prospect of further declines in newbuilding prices have meant that owners have generally held back from placing orders. Just 21 VLCC orders have been recorded since the start of 2009, compared to approximately 100 orders placed in 2008. However prices for the vessels have been much lower—in the region of $100 million compared to prices as high as $165 million in the third quarter of 2008.

There has been slightly more ordering in the Suezmax sector since the start of 2009 with 31 new contracts recorded. Prices for recent orders are also significantly below those placed at the peak of the market in the third quarter of 2008, with recent contracts priced in the region of $60-$65 million compared to peak prices of some $98 million.

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2009 • Our People, Our Strength 32<        >33

Ordering of new Aframax tankers has also been low with just 15 new contracts reported since the start of 2009. Indicative newbuilding prices for Aframaxes at South Korean shipyards had fallen to $51 million by the first quarter of 2010, compared to $81 million in the third quarter of 2008. Indicative newbuilding prices for MR products tankers have also fallen considerably, with prices at South Korean shipyards around $32 million in early 2010, compared to indicative price levels of some $54 million in the third quarter of 2008. As is the case with the other sectors, the amount of new orders placed in the past 18 months has been substantially lower than in the first three quarters of 2008.

	2002		2003		2004		2005		2006		2007		2008		2009	2010

Secondhand prices have also fallen substantially since the third quarter of 2008. The volume of transactions has been very low for much of the period since then, although a few more sales are emerging in early 2010. As of the end of February indicative prices for 5-year old Suezmaxes have fallen by 44% since the third quarter of 2008 to $58 million, although this is 7% higher than indicative prices assessments in late 2009. Indicative prices for 5-year old Aframaxes have fallen by 49% to $40 million, however this is also some 14% higher than the indicative price assessment in December. Indicative prices for a 5-year old MR products carrier are 55% lower at the end of February 2010 than they were in the third quarter of 2008 at $24.5 million. However this price assessment is also some 17% higher than indicative prices in late 2009.

Earnings

Tanker spot market earnings were much lower on average in 2009 as reduced oil demand, OPEC production cuts and lower refinery runs restricted both crude oil and products trade, while fleet growth increased substantially. However, some vessels were able to command higher earnings through short-term employment in oil storage.

VLCC

Benchmark VLCC spot market earnings weakened substantially from the second quarter of 2008 through to the third quarter of 2009. The market strengthened in the fourth quarter of 2009 as seasonal demand increased, and earnings in the first two months of 2010 have also been much stronger as increased Chinese crude oil imports and weather delays to vessels have created tighter market conditions. Storage employment has also been a major factor in the VLCC market since the fourth quarter of 2008 with between 3% and 9% of the VLCC trading fleet tied up in this employment at various times. Earnings for vessels trading in the Atlantic Basin were generally higher than those on the benchmark AG-Far East route in 2009 as storage employment reduced vessel availability in the Atlantic and increased shipments from West Africa to Asia also drew tonnage away from the region. Indicative round voyage earnings on the West Africa to US Gulf route averaged $35k/day in 2009 compared to $27k/day for the AG-Far East route.

Suezmax

Freight rates in the Suezmax sector were also much weaker in 2009, however earnings for these vessels also strengthened once again towards the end of the year and spiked in January 2010, in part due substantial delays for vessels transiting the Turkish Straits. Earnings in the Suezmax sector were more robust than in other market sectors as increased exports from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Brazil helped to offset declines in trade elsewhere. Increased long-haul shipments of crude from the Black Sea and Mediterranean to both the U.S. and Asia also helped to support Suezmax earnings as did the fact that new-building deliveries were skewed towards the second half of the year. Several newbuildings were also chartered for clean products storage upon delivery which also helped to maintain a slightly tighter market balance.

Aframax

Freight rates for Aframaxes were also much lower in 2009 as reduced exports not only from OPEC producers but also from Mexico, the U.K. and Norway affected demand, and a record number of vessels were delivered into the fleet. While Aframax earnings were very weak in the middle part of the year, Aframax markets also strengthened considerably at the end of the year as winter demand increased and weather delays affected the effective supply of vessels. Indicative round voyage earnings in the North Sea averaged $32k/day in December, while indicative earnings for cross-Med. voyages averaged $25k/day and earnings for voyages from the Baltic to Northwest Europe averaged $39k/day. Vessel earnings returned to lower levels however by the end of February 2010.

Products Carriers

Benchmark spot market earnings for MR products carriers were also affected by the reduction in oil demand and products trade and another year of strong fleet growth. Earnings for MRs were particularly weak from June until November, however the market strengthened in December and January and some of this strength has been carried forward into February 2010.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

TSAKOS ENERGY NAVIGATION LIMITED

We have audited TSAKOS ENERGY NAVIGATION LIMITED and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). TSAKOS ENERGY NAVIGATION LIMITED and subsidiaries’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, TSAKOS ENERGY NAVIGATION LIMITED and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of TSAKOS ENERGY NAVIGATION LIMITED and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 and our report dated April 9, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2008 AND 2007

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1. Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of presentation and description of business: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Tsakos Energy Navigation Limited (the “Holding Company”), and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new guidance issued by the FASB for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This guidance defines a noncontrolling interest, previously called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. This guidance requires, among other items, that a noncontrolling interest be included in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity separate from the Company’s equity; consolidated net income to be reported at amounts inclusive of both the Company’s and noncontrolling interest’s shares and, separately, the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the Company and noncontrolling interest all on the consolidated statement of income; and if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be measured at fair value and a gain or loss be recognized in net income based on such fair value. The presentation and disclosure requirements of this guidance were applied retrospectively. The 2008 and 2007 financial information has been adjusted so the basis of presentation is consistent with that of the 2009 financial information. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Holding Company consolidates voting interest entities in which it owns all, or at least a majority of the voting interest. A voting interest entity is an entity in which the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable the entity to finance itself independently and provides the equity holders with the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to make financial and operating decisions.

As at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the Holding Company consolidated two variable interest entities (“VIE”) for which it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, i.e. it has a controlling financial interest in those entities. A VIE is an entity that in general does not have equity investors with voting rights or that has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. A controlling financial interest in a VIE is present when a company absorbs a majority of an entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of an entity’s expected residual returns, or both.

The Company owns and operates a fleet of crude and product oil carriers and one LNG carrier providing worldwide marine transportation services under long, medium or short-term charters.

(b) Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2008 AND 2007

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. Dollar because the Company’s vessels operate in international shipping markets in which the U.S. Dollar is utilized to transact most business. The accounting books of the Company are also maintained in U.S. Dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. Dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities, which are denominated in other currencies, are translated into U.S. Dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are separately reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

(d) Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company classifies highly liquid investments such as time deposits and certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. Minimum cash deposits required to be maintained with banks for loan and interest rate swap compliance purposes and deposits with certain banks that may only be used for the purpose of loan repayments are classified as Restricted cash.

(e) Trade Accounts Receivable, Net: Trade accounts receivable, net at each balance sheet date includes estimated recoveries from charterers for hire, freight and demurrage billings and revenue earned but not yet billed, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts (nil as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008). Revenue earned but not yet billed amounted to $4,851 and $13,063 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company’s management regularly reviews all outstanding invoices and provides allowances for receivables deemed uncollectible.

(f) Inventories: Inventories consist of bunkers, lubricants, victualling and stores and are stated at the lower of cost or market value. The cost is determined primarily by the first-in, first-out method.

(g) Fixed Assets: Fixed assets consist primarily of vessels. Vessels are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The cost of vessels includes the contract price and pre-delivery costs incurred during the construction of new buildings, including capitalized interest, and expenses incurred upon acquisition of second-hand vessels. Subsequent expenditures for conversions and major improvements are capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise they are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method based on the estimated remaining economic useful lives of the vessels, less an estimated residual value based on a scrap price. Economic useful lives are estimated at 25 years for crude and product oil carriers and 40 years for the LNG carrier from the date of original delivery from the shipyard. Scrap prices have increased over the past five years. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2008, the Company made a change in estimate related to the scrap price for all of its vessels from $180 per lightweight ton to $300 per lightweight ton.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(h) Impairment of Vessels: The Company reviews vessels for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a vessel may not be recoverable, such as during severe disruptions in global economic and market conditions. When such indicators are present, a vessel to be held and used is tested for recoverability by comparing the estimate of future undiscounted net operating cash flows expected to be generated by the use of the vessel over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition to its carrying amount. Net operating cash flows are determined by applying various assumptions regarding future revenues net of commissions, operating expenses, scheduled dry-dockings, expected off-hire and scrap values, and taking into account historical revenue data and published forecasts on future world economic growth and inflation. Should the carrying value of the vessel exceed its estimated undiscounted cash flows, impairment is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair market value of the asset. The review of the carrying amounts in connection with the estimated recoverable amount for certain of the Company’s vessels as of December 31, 2009 indicated an impairment charge (see Note 4). No impairment charge was recorded in 2008 and 2007.

(i) Reporting Assets held for sale: It is the Company’s policy to dispose of vessels and other fixed assets when suitable opportunities occur and not necessarily to keep them until the end of their useful life. Long-lived assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These assets are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be held for sale. At December 31, 2009, the suezmax vessel Decathlon, the aframaxes Marathon and Parthenon and the panamaxes Hesnes and Victory III were classified as held for sale.

(j) Accounting for Special Survey and Dry-docking Costs: The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking and special survey costs whereby actual costs incurred are reported in Deferred Charges and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next dry-docking is scheduled to become due. Costs relating to routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The unamortized portion of special survey and dry-docking costs for a vessel that is sold is included as part of the carrying amount of the vessel in determining the gain on sale of the vessel.

(k) Loan Costs: Costs incurred for obtaining new loans or refinancing existing loans are capitalized and included in deferred charges and amortized over the term of the respective loan, using the effective interest rate method. Any unamortized balance of costs relating to loans repaid or refinanced as debt extinguishments is expensed in the period the repayment or extinguishment is made.

(l) Accounting for Revenue and Expenses: Voyage revenues are generated from freight billings and time charter hire. Time charter revenue, including bare-boat hire, is recorded over the term of the charter as the service is provided. Revenues from voyage charters on the spot market or under contract of affreightment are recognized on a percentage of completion method using the discharge to discharge basis. Vessel voyage and operating expenses and charter hire expense are expensed when incurred. Unearned revenue represents cash received prior to the year end for which related service has not been provided, primarily relating to charter hire paid in advance to be earned over the applicable charter period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2009, 2008 AND 2007

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(l) Accounting for Revenue and Expenses (continued):

The operating revenues and voyage expenses of vessels operating under a tanker pool are pooled and are allocated to the pool participants on a time charter equivalent basis, according to an agreed formula. Revenues from variable hire arrangements are recognized to the extent the amounts are fixed or determinable at the reporting date.

Voyage revenues for 2009, 2008 and 2007, included revenues derived from significant charterers as follows (in percentages of total voyage revenues):

Charterer	2009		2008		2007
A	14	%	15	%	16	%
B	10	%	11	%	12	%
C	9	%	10	%	11	%

(m) Segment Reporting: The Company does not evaluate the operating results by type of vessel or by type of charter or by type of cargo. Although operating results may be identified by type of vessel, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results primarily by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet. Thus the Company has determined that it operates in one reportable segment, the worldwide maritime transportation of crude and refined oil. In 2007, the Company acquired a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier. This is the only vessel of its kind that the Company currently operates and, as it does not meet the quantitative thresholds used to determine reportable segments, the LNG carrier segment is not a reportable segment. The Company’s vessels operate on many trade routes throughout the world and, therefore, the provision of geographic information is considered impracticable by management.

(n) Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company regularly enters into interest rate swap contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations of interest rates associated with its specific borrowings. Interest rate differentials paid or received under these swap agreements are recognized as part of interest expense related to the hedged debt. All derivatives are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their fair value. On the inception date of the derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flow to be paid (“cash flow” hedge). Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings are affected by the forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flow and are then reported in earnings. Changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments and the ineffective portion of designated derivative instruments are reported in earnings in the period in which those fair value changes have occurred. Realized gains or losses on early termination of the derivative instruments are also classified in earnings in the period of termination of the respective derivative instrument.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges to specific forecasted transactions or variability of cash flow.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(n) Derivative Financial Instruments (continued):

The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flow of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.

(o) Fair Value Measurements: When assets or liabilities in the financial statements are to be measured at fair value, the Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants (See Note 14). However, the Company has elected not to report any existing financial assets or liabilities at fair value that are not already reported as such.

(p) Accounting for Leases: Leases of assets under which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are effectively retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Lease payments under an operating lease are recognized as an expense on a straight-line method over the lease term. The Company held no operating leases at December 31, 2009.

(q) Stock Based Compensation: The Company has a share based incentive plan that covers directors and officers of the Company and employees of the related companies discussed in Note 2. Awards granted are valued at fair value and compensation cost is recognized on a straight line basis, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period of each award. The fair value of restricted stock issued to crew members, directors and officers of the Company at the grant date is equal to the closing stock price on that date and is amortized over the applicable vesting period using the straight-line method. The fair value of restricted stock issued to non-employees is equal to the closing stock price at the grant date adjusted by the closing stock price at each reporting date and is amortized over the applicable performance period (See Note 9).

(r) Recent Accounting Pronouncements: Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new guidance issued by the FASB relating to disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This guidance requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments. This guidance relates to disclosures only and its adoption did not have any effect on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

In September 2006, the FASB issued guidance about fair value measurements. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of this guidance, and its adoption did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(r) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued):

In April 2009, the FASB issued additional guidance for estimating fair value when there is no active market or where the activity represents distressed sales. We adopted the principles of this guidance in the second quarter of 2009. The adoption did not have a material effect on our consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flows

In April 2009, the FASB issued a position statement that requires companies to provide disclosures about fair values of financial instruments. The adoption of this position statement did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855, “Subsequent events”, which established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. These standards introduce the concept of financial statements being available to be issued. The Company has adopted ASC 855 for the financial period ended June 30, 2009. The adoption of this Statement does not result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports—either through recognition or disclosure—in its financial statements. In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855), which amends ASC 855 to clarify which entities are required to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued and the scope of the disclosure requirements related to subsequent events. The amendments remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which management evaluated subsequent events in both issued and revised financial statements. These amendments are effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The adoption of the above amendments of ASU 2010-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) which will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this guidance, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB amended the consolidation guidance for variable-interest entities (“VIEs”) with the intent to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. The amended guidance requires companies to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on whether the entity (1) has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. It also requires additional disclosures for any enterprise that holds a variable interest in a VIE. This new guidance shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting

periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an effect on our consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” The updated guidance requires new disclosures to separately disclose the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, settlements. The updated guidance also clarifies existing disclosures related to the level of disaggregation, and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods with those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an effect on our consolidated statement of financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2. Transactions with Related Parties (continued)

(a) Tsakos Energy Management Limited (the “Management Company”): The Holding Company has a Management Agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Management Company, a Liberian corporation, to provide overall executive and commercial management of its affairs for a monthly fee. Per the Management Agreement of March 8, 2007, effective from January 1, 2008, there is a prorated adjustment if at beginning of each year the Euro has appreciated by 10% or more against the U.S. Dollar since January 1, 2007. In addition, there is an increase each year by a percentage figure reflecting 12 month Euribor, if both parties agree. As a consequence, from January 1, 2009, monthly management fees for operating vessels were $23.7 per owned vessel and $17.5 for chartered-in vessels or for owned vessels chartered out on a bare-boat basis ($23 and $17, respectively, in 2008, and $20 and $15, respectively, in 2007). From January 1, 2010, monthly fees for operating vessels are $24.0 and $17.7 respectively.

In addition to the management fee, the Management Agreement provides for an incentive award to the Management Company, which is at the absolute discretion of the Holding Company’s Board of Directors. The incentive award program is based on the Company’s annual return on equity (“ROE”). For 2009, there was no award. For 2008 the amount of $4,750 was awarded and for 2007, the amount of $4,000 was awarded.

4. Vessels

Acquisitions

There were two scheduled deliveries of newly constructed vessels within 2009 at a total cost of $127,718 of which $100,457 was paid in 2009. In 2008 there were four scheduled deliveries of newly constructed vessels at a total cost of $245,129 of which $126,943 was paid in 2008. Also in October 2008, the Company repurchased two suezmax tankers for $47,500 each (see Note 7).

4. Vessels (continued)

Impairment

In the latter part of 2009, events occurred and circumstances changed, which in the ensuing period indicated that the carrying amount of certain older vessels was not fully recoverable. More specifically, the global economic and market conditions led to a significant drop of tanker hire rates especially of these certain older vessels. The Company has evaluated these vessels by comparing the weighted estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those vessels under various scenarios against their carrying value. Based on this evaluation the Company determined that the carrying values of its older panamaxes Hesnes and Victory III, built in 1990, and the aframax Vergina II built in 1991, were impaired. Consequently, the total carrying values of these vessels of $47,978, including the balance of deferred charges relating to dry-docking and special survey costs of $1,776, have been written down to $28,912, which is the fair market value of the vessels as determined by management taking into consideration valuations from independent marine valuers.

5. Deferred Charges

Deferred charges, consisted of dry-docking and special survey costs, net of accumulated amortization, amounted to $10,778 and $17,181 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and loan fees, net of accumulated amortization, amounted to $4,005 and $4,151 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Amortization of deferred dry-docking costs is separately reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income, while amortization of loan fees is included in Interest and finance costs, net.

6. Long-Term Debt (continued)

The above revolving credit facilities and term bank loans are secured by first priority mortgages on substantially all vessels, and to assignments of earnings and insurances of the respectively mortgaged vessels, and by corporate guarantees of the relevant ship-owning subsidiaries.

The loan agreements include, among other covenants, covenants requiring the Company to obtain the lenders’ prior consent in order to incur or issue any financial indebtedness, additional borrowings, pay dividends in an amount more than 50% of cumulative net income (as defined in the related agreements), sell vessels and assets, and change the beneficial ownership or management of the vessels. Also, the covenants require the Company to maintain a minimum liquidity, a minimum hull value in connection with the vessels’ outstanding loans, insurance coverage of the vessels against all customary risks and maintenance of operating bank accounts with minimum balances.

The annual principal payments required to be made after December 31, 2009, including balloon payments totaling $665,678 due through August 2019, are as follows:

Year	Amount

7. Deferred Income

In 2003 the Company sold two suezmaxes and time-chartered the vessels back from the buyer for five years before repurchasing the vessels in 2008. The original charter back agreements were accounted for as operating leases and the gains on the sale were mostly deferred and amortized over the five year lease period. Apart from an unamortized balance which was capitalized at the date the Company decided to re-purchase the vessels and later netted off against the re-purchase price of the vessels. Lease payments relating to the time charters of the Decathlon and Pentathlon were $6,338 and $7,149 respectively in 2008 and $7,641 and $7,329 respectively in 2007 and are recorded in Charter hire expense.

During 2009, the Company entered into one new interest rate swap agreement that is accounted for as hedge of the Company’s variable interest rate payments on one new bank loan. This swap will be effective from March 2011.

As at December 31, 2009, the Company held eleven interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge its exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with its debt.

This hedging interest rate swap is associated with certain held-for-sale vessels, and when such vessels are sold, the hedge may become ineffective, and the respective loss include in Accumulated other comprehensive related to this hedging interest rate swap ($8,469 at December 31, 2009) may need to be amortized to income over the term of the financial instrument provided that the variable-rate interest obligations continue.

At December 31, 2009, the Company held two interest rate swaps that did not meet hedge accounting criteria. As such, the changes in their fair values during 2009 have been included in change in fair value of non-hedging financial instruments, in the table above.

During March and July 2009, the Company entered into six bunker swap agreements in order to hedge its exposure to bunker price fluctuations associated with the consumption of bunkers by its vessels.

9. Stockholders’ Equity (continued)

Total compensation expense recognized in 2009 amounted to $1,087 consisting of $676 for employees and $411 for non-employees. In 2008, total compensation expense amounted to $3,046 consisting of $1,237 for employees and $1,809 for non-employees. In 2007, total compensation expense was $5,670 consisting of $1,656 for employees and $4,014 for non-employees. As at December 31, 2009, the total compensation cost related to the non-vested RSUs for both employees and non-employees not yet recognized is $1,484 ($1,019 at December 31, 2008) and the weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding grants is 1.1 years.

In 2009, 2008 and 2007, Accumulated other comprehensive income increased with unrealized gains of $14,508 and decreased with unrealized losses of $48,464 and $25,421, respectively, that resulted from the changes in the fair value of financial instruments. In 2007, Accumulated other comprehensive income increased with unrealized gains of $953, that resulted from the changes in the fair value of investments. In 2007, Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased with losses of $4,025, that resulted from the reclassification of gains on undesignated cash flow hedges.

10. Earnings per Common Share

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the foregoing and the exercise of all RSUs (See Note 9) using the treasury stock method.

	2009		2008		2007
Net income available to common stockholders	$	28,685	$	202,931	$	183,171
Weighted average common shares outstanding		36,940,198		37,552,848		38,075,859
Dilutive effect of RSUs		259,989		494,286		158,220
Weighted average common shares – diluted		37,200,187		38,047,134		38,234,079
Basic earnings per common share	$	0.78	$	5.40	$	4.81
Diluted earnings per common share	$	0.77	$	5.33	$	4.79

For 2009, 2008 and 2007, there were no RSUs considered anti-dilutive which would have resulted in their exclusion from the computation of diluted earnings per common share. The 121,800 RSUs granted in 2009, the 585,650 RSUs granted in 2007 and 20,000 RSUs granted in 2006 were considered dilutive and are included in the computation.

11. Noncontrolling Interest in Subsidiary

In August 2006, the Company signed an agreement with Polaris Oil Shipping Inc. (Polaris), an affiliate of Flota Petrolera Ecuatoriana (Flopec), by which Polaris acquired 49% of Mare Success S.A., a previously wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company. Mare Success S.A. is the holding-company of two Panamanian registered companies which own respectively the vessels Maya and Inca. The agreement became effective on November 30, 2006. Mare Success S.A. is fully consolidated in the accompanying financial statements.

12. Income Taxes

Under the laws of the countries of the companies’ incorporation and/or vessels’ registration, the companies are not subject to tax on international shipping income. However, they are subject to registration and tonnage taxes, which have been included in Vessel operating expenses. The Company believes that it and its subsidiaries are exempt from U.S. federal income tax which is normally levied at a rate of 4% on 50% of the U.S. source shipping revenue, as each vessel-operating subsidiary is organized in a foreign country that grants an equivalent exemption to corporations organized in the United States and the Company’s stock is primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market in the United States, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code of the United States. Under the regulations, a Company’s stock will be considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market if (i) one or more classes of its stock representing 50% or more of its outstanding shares, by voting power and value, is listed on the market and is traded on the market, other than in minimal quantities, on at least 60 days during the taxable year; and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of stock traded during the taxable year is at least 10% of the average number of shares of the stock outstanding during the taxable year.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

As at December 31, 2009, the Company had under construction two aframax and two suezmax tankers. The total contracted amount remaining to be paid for the four vessels under construction, plus the extra costs agreed as at December 31, 2009 was $220,800. Scheduled remaining payments as of December 31, 2009 were $134,400 in 2010 and $86,400 in 2011. In February 2010, the contract price and payment schedule for the two suezmaxes were renegotiated leading to a reduction of $2,500 each. As a result, the total contract price remaining to be paid, including extra costs of $500 for the two aframaxes also agreed in 2010, for the four vessels following the renegotiation (there were no payments between December 31, 2009 and the new agreement) was $216,300 and the remaining payments were $156,100 in 2010 and $60,200 in 2011.

In the ordinary course of the shipping business, various claims and losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents and other suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. Management believes that all such matters are either adequately covered by insurance or are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results from operations or financial condition.

The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, primarily with high credit qualified financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk. The Company limits the exposure of non-performance by counterparties to derivative instruments by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings, and performing periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the counterparties.

(c) Fair value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet of financial assets and accounts payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term bank loans with variable interest rates approximate the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The present value of the future cash flows of the portion of one long-term bank loan with a fixed interest rate is estimated to be approximately $86,800 as compared to its carrying amount of $95,464 (Note 6). The fair value of the investment discussed in Note 3 equates to the amounts that would be received by the Company in the event of sale of that investment.

The fair values of the one long-term bank loan with a fixed interest rate, the interest rate swap agreements and bunker swap agreements discussed in Note 8 above are determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in FASB guidance for Fair Value Measurements and are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined. The fair value of the investment discussed in Note 3 is determined through Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in FASB guidance for Fair Value Measurements and is determined by the Company’s own data. The fair values of the impaired vessels discussed in Note 4 are determined through Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in FASB guidance for Fair Value Measurements and are determined by independent marine valuers.
