ATHENS, GREECE -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 25, 2007 -- Danaos Corporation ("Danaos") (NYSE: DAC), a leading international owner of containerships, today reported unaudited results for the period ended March 31, 2007.

Highlights:

--  Reported net earnings of $100.4 million or $1.84(1) per share for the
    first quarter of 2007
    
--  Operating Revenues of $67.6 million for the first quarter of 2007

--  During the first quarter of 2007 Danaos took delivery of one 4,300 TEU
    container ship, the Norasia Integra, and sold six vessels, five drybulk
    carriers and one containership, the APL England.
    
--  Orders for 14 additional large containerships representing an
    investment of approximately $1.2 billion.
    
Danaos' CEO Dr. John Coustas commented: "We are extremely pleased with our first quarter achievements as it was the busiest in terms of new order activity and the most profitable ever for Danaos. During this quarter we increased our order-book by four 6,800 TEU containerships to be built in Jiangnan - China, five 6,500 TEU containerships and five 3,500 TEU containerships to be built in Hanjin Heavy Industries - Korea. Danaos' total orders now stand at 28 large size containerships with a total of 147,524 TEUs equivalent to 104% of our current fleet. Notably, we have already secured fixed rate long time charters of 10 to 15 years for eight of these newly placed orders and we are actively pursuing further opportunities to charter in advance the rest. Consequently we have managed to increase our contracted revenues by approximately $1 billion to $3.9 billion. Further, consistent with our declared dividend strategy we announced today our quarterly cash dividend of $0.44 per share.

In this first quarter of 2007 we took delivery of the Norasia Integra, a 4,300 TEU containership which is fixed for a 12 year charter to the Yang Ming Group. We also delivered to their new owner all but one of our dry bulk carriers, with the last one to be delivered during the month of April. Through the sale of these dry bulk vessels Danaos has become a pure containership company with charter cover of approximately 90% up to 2010 and above 60% for the subsequent period up to 2017.

During the first quarter of 2007 tonnage demand from the charter market has accelerated, driving the charter rate indexes higher. The actual rise has been much more pronounced in the larger containership sizes above 3,000 TEUs, a market segment in which Danaos holds a prominent position. The strong demand also resulted in the re-chartering of three of our vessels at accretive rates for three years."

Three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006

During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, Danaos had an average of 31.0 containerships and 2.8 drybulk carriers in its fleet as opposed to 25.1 containerships and 7.0 drybulk carriers for the same period of 2006. We took delivery of the Norasia Integra, a 4,300 TEU containership on March 12, 2007 and sold six vessels, five drybulk carriers, the Alexandra I, Fivos, Dimitris C, Roberto C and Maria C on January 8, January 10, January 30 and February 27 of 2007 for the last two respectively and one 5,506 TEU containership, the APL England, on March 7, 2007.

Our net income was $100.4 million or $1.84(1) per share for the first quarter of 2007 compared to net income of $21.5 million or $0.48(1) per share for the first quarter of 2006, an increase in net income of 367.2%. Excluding one-off gain from sale of vessels of $72.7 million and a loss resulting from change in fair value of debt denominated in JPY of $2.6 million, our net income for the first quarter of 2007 is $30.3 million or $0.55(1) per share.

Operating Revenue

Operating revenue increased 23.9%, or $13.1 million, to $67.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, from $54.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase was mainly a result of the addition to our fleet of seven vessels, the MOL Confidence, a 4,651 TEU containership on March 23, 2006, the CSCL Pusan, a 9,580 TEU containership on September 8, 2006, the CSCL Le Havre, a 9,580 TEU containership on November 20, 2006 and three 4,814 TEU vessels, the Maersk Marathon, Maersk Messologi and Maersk Mytilini, on December 13, 18 and 22 of 2006 respectively, and the Norasia Integra, a 4,300 TEU containership on March 12, 2007. These additions to our fleet collectively contributed revenues of $14.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007. In addition the Company sold seven vessels, six drybulk carriers, the Sofia III, Alexandra I, Fivos, Dimitris C, Roberto C and Maria C on May 11, 2006, January 8, January 10, January 30 and February 27 of 2007 for the last two respectively and one 5,506 TEU containership the APL England on March 7, 2007, which collectively contributed less revenue of $4.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Vessel Operating Expenses

Vessel operating expenses increased 17.9%, or $2.4 million, to $16.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, from $13.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. This increase was due to the addition to our fleet of seven containerships, the sale of six drybulk carriers, one containership and a general increase of operating expenses experienced by the overall industry.

Depreciation & Amortization

Depreciation & Amortization includes Depreciation and Amortization of Deferred Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense increased 49.1%, or $3.4 million, to $10.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, from $6.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase in depreciation expense was due to the increase in the average number of vessels in our fleet as well as the addition of more expensive vessels as compared to those sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Amortization of Deferred Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs

Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs increased 34.0%, or $0.4 million, to $1.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, from $1.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. This was due to the costs of dry-docking and special surveys conducted for an additional 13 of our vessels during the last year.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased 33.1%, or $0.6 million, to $2.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $1.7 million in the same quarter of 2006, reflecting public company related costs which were not applicable in the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Other Operating Expenses

Other Operating Expenses include Voyage Expenses

Voyage Expenses

Voyage expenses increased 39.7%, or $0.7 million, to $2.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, from $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The increase in voyage expenses was due to commissions paid to our Manager for the vessels we acquired or sold during the period in accordance with our management contract.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Interest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 18.0%, to $5.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, from $7.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the financing of our extensive newbuilding program which resulted in capitalizing $2.8 million of interest for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as opposed to $1.7 million of capitalized interest for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Interest income increased $0.1 million or 11.1% to $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $1.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2006, due to decreased bank deposits on which interest was earned which was offset by higher interest rates.

Gain on Sale of vessels

The gain on sale of vessels of $72.7 million for the period ended March 31, 2007 reflects the sale of the Alexandra I, Fivos, Dimitris C, Roberto C and Maria C to a third party drybulk operator for $118.0 million resulting in a gain of $72.9 million over the depreciated book value of these vessels at the time of their sale.

On March 7, 2007 we sold and delivered the APL England to APL following the exercise of the call option APL had for this vessel. The sale consideration was $44.5 million. We incurred a loss on this sale of $0.2 million.

EBITDA

EBITDA increased 229.2%, or $81.2 million, to $116.6 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, from $35.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Excluding one-off gain from sale of vessels of $72.7 million and a loss resulting from change in fair value of debt denominated in JPY of $2.6 million our EBITDA for the first quarter of 2007 is $46.5 million, representing an increase of 31.3% over the EBITDA of the same period of 2006. A table with analytical EBITDA calculations reconciling EBITDA to net income can be found at the end of this press release.

Dividend Payment

On January 18, 2007 we declared a dividend of $0.44 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2006 for all shareholders on record as of January 29, 2007 which was paid on February 14, 2007. On April 23, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.44 per common share for the first quarter of 2007. The dividend is payable on May 18, 2007 to all shareholders of record as of May 4, 2007. We currently intend to pay quarterly dividends of $0.44 per share, or $1.76 per share per year.

(1) EBITDA represents net income before interest, income tax expense,
    depreciation and amortization.  However, EBITDA is not a recognized
    measurement under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or
    "GAAP."  We believe that the presentation of EBITDA is useful to
    investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts,
    investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies
    in our industry.  We also believe that EBITDA is useful in evaluating
    our ability to service additional debt and make capital expenditures.
    In addition, we believe that EBITDA is useful in evaluating our
    operating performance and liquidity position compared to that of other
    companies in our industry because the calculation of EBITDA generally
    eliminates the effects of financings, income taxes and the accounting
    effects of capital expenditures and acquisitions, items which may vary
    for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating
    performance and liquidity.
