Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. Announces Delivery of the Remaining Capesize Vessel & Completion of the Acquisition of Seven Dry Bulk Vessels

ATHENS, GREECE--(Marketwired - Dec 8, 2015) - Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: SHIP), a shipping company specializing in the ownership and operation of dry bulk vessels, announced today that it took delivery of a 179,238 DWT Capesize dry bulk vessel, which has been renamed to M/V Championship. The M/V Championship, which was built in 2011 by Sungdong SB, will be employed in the spot market. The acquisition cost of the M/V Championship has been funded by a senior secured loan agreement with an international financial institution and by a funding arrangement with the Company's sponsor.

As previously announced, the M/V Championship is the last delivery of a series of seven modern secondhand dry bulk vessels that the Company agreed to acquire in August 2015.

Stamatis Tsantanis, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are very pleased to announce the delivery of the M/V Championship that marks the completion of our delivery schedule under the purchase agreement to acquire seven secondhand dry bulk vessels. In less than four months we managed to significantly increase our fleet size from one to eight vessels with a carrying capacity in excess of 1.1 million DWT. At the current depressed levels of the drybulk market, we strongly believe that our fleet expansion represents a unique opportunity to participate in a market recovery. Our acquisition cost, which is among the lowest of our peers, together with our financing arrangements provide significant potential for our investors. We will continue to cautiously pursue acquisition opportunities that we believe can further enhance value for our shareholders."
