ATHENS, GREECE--(Marketwire - September 19, 2007) - OceanFreight Inc. (NASDAQ: OCNF), a NASDAQ listed bulk shipping company, announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire a ninth vessel for its fleet, a Panamax drybulk carrier to be renamed Augusta, that will immediately commence a one-year time charter upon its delivery to the Company in early January 2008. The purchase price of this vessel is $61.6 Million. The Company also announced that it has entered into a new $325 million loan facility with Nordea Bank.

Bob Cowen, OceanFreight's Chairman and CEO, said, "The Nordea $325 million credit agreement, which is comprised of a $200 million revolving credit facility and a $125 million delayed draw term loan, provides us with the capital and financial flexibility to grow our company. Nordea is a leader in ship finance and we are pleased that they have provided us with this highly attractive corporate facility. Our first use of this expanded credit availability is to refinance our existing loan and add a ninth Panamax dry bulk vessel to our fleet. The Augusta, built in 1996, will commence a one-year charter at the net daily rate of $57,000 when she is delivered in January of 2008 and will be highly accretive to our cash flow."
