ATHENS, GREECE--(Marketwire - August 2, 2007) - OceanFreight Inc. (NASDAQ: OCNF), a NASDAQ listed bulk shipping company which concluded its initial public offering on April 25 of this year, announced that it has completed the delivery of its initial seven vessel fleet with the delivery of the two Panamax vessels, M/V "Helena" and the M/V "Topeka."

Bob Cowen, OceanFreight's Chairman and CEO, said, "With the deliveries of M/V Helena and M/V Topeka, we have now acquired all seven vessels of our initial fleet. The delivery of these two vessels, ahead of the schedule we described in our IPO prospectus, will add valuable revenue generating days to our third quarter.

All of our ships are fixed on term employment, providing our company with predictable cash flows to support our dividend."
