         This Amendment No. 5 to the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed
on January 8, 2001, as amended on February 8, 2001, July 2, 2003, July 10, 2003
and October 9, 2003 (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 Fund VIII and GP VIII, 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 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

The first paragraph of Item 2 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:

This Statement was filed jointly by the Reporting Persons to report the
acquisition by Fund VIII of Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock
on December 28, 2000 and is being amended jointly by the Reporting Persons to
report the disposition of all remaining shares of Common Stock held directly or
indirectly by the Reporting Persons on January 28, 2004. As reported previously,
First Reserve is the general partner of GP VIII, which is the general partner of
Fund VIII.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

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

On January 22, 2004, Fund VIII and CB&I entered into an underwriting agreement
(the "Underwriting Agreement") with Credit Suisse First Boston LLC (the
"Underwriter") providing for the sale by Fund VIII of 6,097,145 shares of Common
Stock (the "Offered Securities") to the Underwriter at a price of $28.65. The
Underwriter resold the Offered Securities to the public pursuant to a
registration statement on Form S-3 at a price of $28.90 per share. The
transaction closed on January 28, 2004.

The registration statement relating to the Offered Securities has been filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has been declared effective.
This Amendment Number 5 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 from Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation at Eleven Madison
Avenue, Prospectus Department, New York, New York, 10010-3629.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 5 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:



(a)-(c) On January 28, 2004, the Reporting Persons sold an aggregate of
6,097,145 shares of Common Stock (the "Offered Securities") to the Underwriter
at a price of $28.65 per share. The Underwriter resold the Offered Securities to
the public pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 at a price of $28.90
per share. Accordingly, effective January 28, 2004, none of the Reporting
Persons beneficially owns any Common Stock. Except for the sale of the Offered
Securities, none of the Reporting Persons have engaged in any transactions in
Common Stock in the past 60 days.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) January 28, 2004.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS OR UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF
THE ISSUER.

Item 6 is hereby amended by adding the following:

On January 16, 2004, Mr. Ben Guill, the President of First Reserve, who is also
a member of the supervisory board of the Issuer, in connection with the offering
of the Offered Securities, agreed that from January 22, 2004 until the date that
is 45 days after the date of the public offering not to offer, sell, contract
to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of
Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
any shares of Common Stock, enter into a transaction which would have the same
effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in
whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock,
whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of
Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly
disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or
to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without,
in each case, the prior written consent of the Underwriter and not to make,
during such period, any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the
registration of any Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for Common Stock. The foregoing description of such agreement is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of such agreement, which is
filed as an exhibit to this Statement and is incorporated by reference herein.

On January 22, 2004, Fund VIII entered into the Underwriting Agreement relating
to the sale of the Offered Securities to the Underwriter at a price of $28.65

and is incorporated by reference herein. See also Item 4.
