  • OceanFreight Inc., a global provider of marine transportation services, yesterday announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Excluding the above items Net Income for the third quarter of 2009 would be $9.5 million or $0.11 per share.

    Anthony Kandylidis, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented:

    “Excluding the one off charges due to the sale of an older panamax
    vessel, our net income on an operating basis would have been about 11
    cents per share, well above analyst expectations. OceanFreight is very
    privileged not to have any capital commitments at this time. With our
    proven access to capital and our track record of sourcing modern high
    quality tonnage with fixed employment we continue to renew our fleet
    and enhance the longevity of our cash flows. As of the day of this
    press release we have secured gross revenues of $115 million until the
    end of 2010 with 92% fleet charter coverage for the remainder of 2009
    and 72% for 2010. We remain uniquely positioned among our competitors
    to use fresh capital to finance asset opportunities at historically low
    values, which we believe will be accretive to shareholder value over
    the long term.”
