         This Amendment No. 2 to the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed
on January 8, 2001, as amended on February 8, 2001 (the "Statement"), is filed
by First Reserve Fund VIII, L.P. ("Fund VIII"), First Reserve GP VIII, L.P. ("GP
VIII"), and First Reserve Corporation ("First Reserve," and together with the
Funds, the "Reporting Persons") and relates to the Common Stock, par value Euro
0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V., a
Company organized under the laws of the Netherlands (the "Issuer" or "CB&I").
That Schedule 13D is hereby amended as set forth below.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The text of Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended by adding the
following:

         On June 26, 2003, Fund VIII, Wedge Engineering B.V. ("Wedge"), Gerald
Glenn and CB&I entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting
Agreement") with Credit Suisse First Boston LLC and Banc of America Securities
LLC (together, the "Underwriters") providing for the sale by Wedge, Fund VIII,
Gerald Glenn and CB&I of 7,592,542 shares of Common Stock (the "Offered
Securities"), 5,522,014 of which are to be sold by Fund VIII (the "Fund VIII
Offered Securities"), to the Underwriters at a price of $20.662. The
Underwriters resold the Offered Securities to the public at $21.75 per share.
The transaction closed on July 2, 2003.

         The Underwriting Agreement also provides the Underwriters with an
option to purchase an additional 1,288,881 shares of Common Stock that may be
exercised by the Underwriters at any time not more than 30 days after the date
of the related prospectus. The Underwriters exercised the option on July 7,
2003 (the "Over-Allotment Option").

         A registration statement relating to the Offered Securities has been
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has been declared
effective. This Amendment Number 2 to Schedule 13D shall not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of
the Offered Securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities
laws of such state. The offering is being made only by means of a prospectus. A
written prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act
of 1933 may be obtained, when available, from Credit Suisse First Boston
Corporation at Eleven Madison Avenue, Prospectus Department, New York, New York,
10010-3629.
