Compelling yield
By actively managing our fleet of double-hull vessels through a mix of fixed-rate charters and spot tanker market trading, we provide investors with downside protection while maintaining upside to the spot tanker market. This allows us to provide a compelling yield in high or low spot tanker markets.

Secure dividend payment
Numerous factors contribute to Teekay Tankers’ secure dividend payment, including:
•    Fixed-rate, time-charter contracts which provide stable cash flows
•    All contracts with creditworthy counterparties
•    Favorable debt profile with no covenant concerns or large principal payments until 2015
