NEWS RELEASE

Peter S. Janson Joins Teekay Board as Leif Höegh Steps Down

Nassau, The Bahamas, July 15, 2005 — Teekay Shipping Corporation (Teekay) announced today that Mr. Peter S. Janson has accepted an invitation to join the Board of Directors of Teekay, effective immediately.

Mr. Janson has held a number of key leadership roles in the international engineering services industry, including serving as the Chief Executive Officer of Agra, a publicly traded engineering and construction company, and subsequently as Executive Director of North American operations for Amec plc after Amec acquired Agra, a position he held until August 2002. Prior to joining Agra, Mr. Janson served as the Chief Executive Officer of US Operations for Asea Brown Boveri Inc. (ABB), the global leader in power and automation technologies. Mr. Janson was President of Asea Inc. at the time of its merger with BBC Brown Boveri in 1988, and was appointed to lead the creation of the new company as President and CEO of ABB’s Canadian operations. In that role he led the acquisitions and integrations of both Westinghouse T&D and Combustion Engineering into ABB. Mr. Janson has also served as a member of the Business Round Table in the United States, and as a member of the National Advisory Board on Science and Technology in Canada, reporting directly to the Prime Minister. He currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Royal Ontario Museum as well as serving as a Director of several other public companies.

In welcoming Mr. Janson to the Board of Teekay, Mr. Sean Day, Chairman of Teekay’s Board, said “Mr. Janson’s outstanding career has taken him around the world, providing him with a solid understanding of the challenges and opportunities that come with doing business in a global economy. His extensive experience in the international engineering services industry will be valuable as Teekay expands the services it provides to the oil and gas industry as The Marine Midstream Company.”

Mr. Janson fills the vacancy on the Board of Directors created by the resignation of Leif Höegh, which became effective today. Mr. Höegh joined the Teekay Board of Directors in June, 1999 at the time Teekay acquired Bona Shipholding Limited. In his letter of resignation, Mr. Höegh noted that the recent entry of Teekay into the LNG transportation sector had created a conflict of interest between the business of Teekay and the business of his family-controlled company, Leif Höegh & Co., which has been involved in the LNG transportation business for more than 30 years through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Höegh LNG. Mr. Day noted that Mr. Höegh’s resignation had been accepted with regret, as he had been a valued colleague on the Teekay Board and over the past six years had made a significant contribution to the Company through his deep knowledge of the shipping industry and his disciplined, analytical approach to the issues under consideration.
