PROXY STATEMENT

FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MONDAY, MAY 20, 2002

General

      This Proxy Statement is furnished by the Board of Directors of Teekay Shipping Corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors for use at the Company’s 2002 Annual Meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), to be held at 9:00 a.m. (London time), on Monday, May 20, 2002 at The Royal Automobile Club, 89 Pall Mall, London, England. The principal executive headquarters of the Company are located at the TK House, Bayside Executive Park, West Bay Street & Blake Road, P.O. Box AP-59213, Nassau, The Bahamas.

      This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card are first being mailed to the Company’s shareholders on or about March 29, 2002.

Record Date and Outstanding Shares

      Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at the close of business on March 22, 2002, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, the Company had approximately 39,551,019 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Quorum and Voting

      Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote. Under the Company’s Bylaws, action may be taken on a matter submitted to shareholders only if a quorum exists with respect to such matter. In general, a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the Annual Meeting. However, the number of shares required to be represented at the Annual Meeting to constitute a quorum is reduced from a majority to one-third of the shares entitled to vote on a specific matter if that matter is recommended by the Continuing Directors (as defined below) or for purposes of voting on the election of Directors if all nominees are recommended by the Continuing Directors. “Continuing Directors” means the incumbent members of the Board of Directors that were members of the Board on June 15, 1999 and any persons who are subsequently elected or appointed to the Board if such persons are recommended by a majority of the Continuing Directors. The Continuing Directors have recommended for election all the nominees for Director set out in this Proxy Statement and have recommended the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP be approved. Accordingly, the quorum for each of such matters will be one-third of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy.

      Shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights in the election of Directors. A nominee for election to the Board of Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. In the election of Directors, any action other than a vote for a nominee will have the practical effect of voting against the nominee. For all other matters, action is approved if the votes

1


 

cast in favor of the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action. Abstentions and other non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the Annual Meeting, but are not counted for any purpose in determining whether a proposal is approved and have no effect on the determination of whether a plurality exists with respect to a given nominee. Proxies and ballots will be received and tabulated by The Bank of New York, the Company’s transfer agent.

Revocability and Voting of Proxies

      A proxy delivered pursuant to this solicitation is revocable at the option of the person giving the same at any time before it is exercised. A proxy may be revoked, prior to its exercise, by delivering to the Secretary of the Company a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and electing to vote in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting, in and of itself, will not constitute a revocation of a proxy.

      If no directions are specified in a properly executed proxy, the shares covered thereby will be voted “FOR” (1) the election of each of the nominees for Directors recommended by the Board of Directors, (2) the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP, Chartered Accountants, as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002 and (3) in accordance with the discretion of the named proxy holders on any other matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies

      The accompanying proxy is solicited by and on behalf of the Board of Directors, and the entire cost of preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and the proxy solicited hereby will be borne by the Company. In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by Directors, officers and other employees of the Company, without additional remuneration, in person or by telephone or facsimile transmission or electronic correspondence. The Company will also request brokerage firms, bank nominees, custodians and fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock as of the record date and will provide reimbursement for the cost of forwarding the proxy materials in accordance with customary practice. Your cooperation in promptly completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card will help avoid additional expense.
