Co.'s active vessel fleet, of which includes U.S. Flag vessels, consists of crude oil tankers doing business in Alaska, conventional Articulated Tug Barges (ATBs), lightering ATBs, shuttle tankers, Medium Range (MR) tankers, and non-Jones Act MR tankers that participate in the U.S. Maritime Security Program. Co. also owns and operates a Marshall Islands flagged MR tanker which trades internationally.

The Average Annual Return on the OSG average annual return since 2016 page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annualized return over the past ten years (or specified start date) for a given investment
(up to the end of prior trading session recorded). Arguably, choosing ten years for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand provides a sufficiently long window
to capture long-term trends.
Thus, researching Average Annual Returns is good practice for investors — whether OSG average annual return since 2016 or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annualized return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors
by performing the OSG average annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
