OceanFreight Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2007 Results and Declares Dividend of $0.39 per Share for Partial Second Quarter


ATHENS, GREECE--(Marketwire - July 25, 2007) - OceanFreight Inc. (NASDAQ: OCNF), a NASDAQ listed bulk shipping company that completed its Initial Public Offering in late April of this year, today reported earnings of $883,000 or $0.14 per common and subordinated share for its quarter ended June 30, 2007. OceanFreight's Board of Directors also declared its target dividend of $0.39 per share for the partial quarter of 62 days, payable on or about August 15, to shareholders of record on August 6, 2007.

Bob Cowen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OceanFreight Inc., said, "We are pleased to announce our first dividend since completing a $235 million IPO in late April. During OceanFreight's first quarter as a public company, we took delivery of the first four vessels in our initial seven vessel fleet well ahead of schedule, adding valuable revenue days to the second quarter, we chartered our Capesize vessel Juneau at a daily rate of $46,800 per day for two years, more than $4,000 per day higher than assumed at the time of our IPO, and we demonstrated our ability to grow the fleet by committing to acquire an eighth vessel for delivery in November, increasing our fleet to over 660,000 dwt.

"Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on July 4, 2007, we took delivery of a fifth Panamax vessel, Lansing. All five vessels are employed on long-term charters except the Juneau which went into drydock for completion of a special survey prior to commencing its two-year time charter in August. Financing for all eight vessels in our fleet will be provided by our current credit facility.

"We are proud of our initial progress, and as we move forward our focus remains on seeking opportunities to grow our fleet and enhance our cash flow and shareholder value."

(1) Imputed deferred revenue – arises from the difference between the net
    present value of the time charter which is incorporated in the purchase
    contract of a vessel and the net present value of a market rate charter
    for the same vessel and same charter period determined at the date of
    delivery.  We amortize this difference to revenue on a straight line
    basis during the remaining life of the charter.
(2) Weighted average shares – for six month period calculated from
    beginning of the year assuming issuance of Common and restricted stock
    on April 30, 2007.

(1)  EBITDA - represents net income plus net interest expense and other
     income, plus depreciation and amortization minus imputed deferred
     revenue.  EBITDA is used by analysts in the shipping industry as a
     common performance measure to compare results across peers.  Management
     of the Company uses EBITDA as a performance measure in its internal
     financial statements and it is presented for review at our board
     meetings.  EBITDA is not an item recognized by GAAP.  The definition
     of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other
     companies.
(2)  Weighted average long term debt - is the measurement of debt as of
     the close of each business day for the period divided by the number of
     calendar days in that period.
(3)  Average number of vessels - is the number of vessels that constituted
     our fleet for the relevant period as measured by the sum of the number
     of whole days each vessel was a part of our fleet during the period
     divided by the number of calendar days in that period.
(4)  Ownership days - are the total whole calendar days that a vessel was
     in our possession for the relevant period including off hire days.
(5)  Voyage days - are the total whole days a vessel was in our possession
     for the relevant period net of off hire days.
(6)  Fleet utilization - is the percentage of time that our vessels were
     available for revenue generating operations and is determined by
     dividing voyage days by ownership days for the relevant period.
(7)  Time charter equivalent, or TCE - is a measure of the average daily
     revenue performance of a vessel on a per voyage basis.  We believe
     that our method of calculating TCE is consistent with industry
     standards and is determined by dividing net voyage revenue (see
     reconciliation of net voyage revenue above) by voyage days.
(8)  Direct vessel operating expenses - is calculated by dividing vessel
     operating expenses which includes crew costs, provisions, deck and
     engine stores, lubricating oils, insurance, maintenance and repairs
     and technical manager administrative costs by calendar days for the
     relevant period.
(9)  General and administrative costs - is calculated by dividing general
     and administrative costs net of compensation of non-cash amortization
     of restricted management stock by the calendar days for the relevant
     period.
(10) Total vessel operating expenses - is the sum of direct vessel
     operating expenses and general and administrative costs described
     above in notes 8 and 9.
(11) Daily EBITDA - is total EBITDA divided by calendar days.

The time charter will commence in August 2007 after the completion of the vessels drydocking at a rate of $46,800 per day for two years which is $4,050 per day above the rate of $42,750 assumed by the Company at the time of its IPO, or a total of approximately $2.9 million for the life of the charter.

Forward-Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.

The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although OceanFreight Inc. believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, OceanFreight Inc. cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charter rates and vessel values, failure of a seller to deliver one or more vessels to us or delay in taking delivery of one or more vessels, default by one or more charterers of our vessels, changes in demand that may affect attitudes of time charterers, scheduled and unscheduled drydocking, changes in OceanFreight Inc.'s operating expenses, length and number of off-hire periods and dependence on third-party managers, drydocking and insurance costs, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, domestic and international political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, international hostilities and political events or acts by terrorists.

Risks and uncertainties are further discussed in documents filed by OceanFreight Inc. with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
