Globus Maritime Limited Announces the Acquisition of a 2005-Built Panamax Dry Bulk Carrier, Expanding Fleet to Seven Vessels

ATHENS, GREECE--(Marketwire - May 3, 2011) - Globus Maritime Limited ("Globus" or the "Company"), (NASDAQ: GLBS), a dry bulk vessel owner and operator, announces that it has agreed to purchase, from an unaffiliated third party, a 74,432 DWT Panamax dry bulk carrier for $31.4 million. The vessel was delivered from Hudong Zhonghua Shipyard in China in November 2005.

The vessel is expected to be delivered to Globus during the third quarter of 2011. Upon her delivery, she will be chartered back to a Gleamray Maritime Inc. guaranteed nominee at the net daily rate of $18,000 until the third quarter of 2013.

On completion of this acquisition, the fleet of Globus will expand to seven modern dry bulk carriers with a total carrying capacity of 453,135 DWT and a weighted average age of 4.8 years (as of September 30, 2011).

George Karageorgiou, President and CEO of Globus, commented: "Consistent with our strategy to own modern assets and to seek accretive acquisitions at the proper time, we have agreed to acquire a modern Panamax vessel. Thus far, 2011 has been a year of significant growth for Globus, as we have agreed to acquire two modern vessels, a 2007-built Supramax and a 2005-built Panamax, expanding our fleet by approximately 42% in terms of DWT. Both ships have charter coverage which enhances our cash flow stability and visibility: the Supramax until the first quarter of 2015, and the Panamax until the third quarter of 2013. We will continue to seek opportunities for accretive growth, which we are confident, will lead to enhanced value for our loyal shareholders."
