ATHENS, GREECE--(Marketwire - June 23, 2010) - Globus Maritime Ltd ("Globus" or the "Company") (AIM: GLBS) (LSE: GLBS), a global shipping transportation company that owns and operates dry bulk carriers, announces that in line with its fleet renewal programme it has agreed to purchase for US$41,112,000 from an unaffiliated third party a 79,800 DWT Kamsarmax Bulk Carrier built in 2010 at an established Chinese yard.

The vessel is expected to be delivered to the Company by the end of June 2010. Upon her delivery to the Company she will fly the flag of Panama, and continue her deployment under a bareboat charter for a period of 5 years (plus 1 year at Bareboat Charterers' option plus another year at Globus' option) to a Far Eastern shipping entity.

On completion of this acquisition, Globus' fleet will comprise a total of five modern dry bulk carriers with a total carrying capacity of 319,952 dwt and a weighted average age of just 3.4 years, well below the industry average.

George Karageorgiou, Chief Executive of Globus Maritime, commented: "Consistent with our strategy to own modern assets and seek accretive acquisitions at the proper time, we have today agreed to add a new Kamsarmax vessel to our fleet. This acquisition is expected to significantly enhance our revenue and earnings capacity, while further decreasing the weighted average age of our fleet."
