SUBJECT TO COMPLETION DATED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

Preliminary Prospectus

OceanPal Inc.

Up to 70,942,111 Units consisting of Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrants

to Purchase Common Stock and

Class B Warrants to Purchase Common Stock

We are offering up to 70,942,111 Units consisting of one share of common stock and one Class B Warrant to purchase one share of common stock on a best efforts basis. Each Class B Warrant will be immediately exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.3524 per share (not less than 100% of the public offering price of each unit sold in this offering) and expire five years after the issuance date. We are also offering to each purchaser of Units that would otherwise result in the purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase Units consisting of one pre-funded warrant (in lieu of one share of common stock) and one Class B Warrant. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of pre-funded warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its pre-funded warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, such limit may be increased to up to 9.99%) of the number of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. Each pre-funded warrant will be exercisable for one share of common stock. The purchase price of each Unit including a pre-funded warrant will be equal to the price per Unit including one share of common stock, minus $0.01, and the remaining exercise price of each pre-funded warrant will equal $0.01 per share. The pre-funded warrants will be immediately exercisable (subject to the beneficial ownership cap) and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. For each Unit including a pre-funded warrant we sell (without regard to any limitation on exercise set forth therein), the number of Units including a share of common stock we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. The common stock and pre-funded warrants, if any, can each be purchased in this offering only with the accompanying Class B Warrant as part of a Unit, but the components of the Units will immediately separate upon issuance. See “Description of Capital Stock — Securities We Are Offering” in this prospectus for more information.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “OP”. On September 28, 2022, the sale price of our common stock was $0.3524 per share, as reported by Nasdaq. The actual public offering price per Unit will be determined between us, the Placement Agent and the investors in the offering, and may be at a discount to the current market price of our common stock. Therefore, the assumed public offering price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price.

There is no established trading market for the pre-funded warrants, or the Class B Warrants, and we do not expect an active trading market to develop. We do not intend to list the pre-funded warrants or the Class B Warrants on any securities exchange or other trading market. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of these securities will be limited.

There is no minimum number of Units or minimum aggregate amount of proceeds for this offering to close. We expect this offering to be completed not later than two business days following the commencement of this offering and we will deliver all securities to be issued in connection with this offering delivery versus payment (“DVP”)/receipt versus payment (“RVP”) upon receipt of investor funds received by the Company. Accordingly, neither we nor the Placement Agent have made any arrangements to place investor funds in an escrow account or trust account since the placement agent will not receive investor funds in connection with the sale of the securities offered hereunder.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined under the U.S. federal securities laws and, as such, we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings.

Investing in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors beginning on page 8 of this prospectus before investing in our securities.

	Per Unit(1)	Total

(1) Units consist of one share of common stock and one Class B Warrant.

(3) The placement agent fees shall equal 7.5% of the gross proceeds of the securities sold by us in this offering.

(4) The Placement Agent will receive compensation in addition to the placement agent fees described above. See “Plan of Distribution” for a description of compensation payable to the Placement Agent.

We have engaged Maxim Group LLC as our exclusive placement agent (“Maxim” or the “Placement Agent”) to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase our securities in this offering. The Placement Agent has no obligation to purchase any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing in this offering the actual public amount, placement agent’s fee, and proceeds to us, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the total maximum offering amounts set forth above and throughout this prospectus. We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent the placement agent fees set forth in the table above and to provide certain other compensation to the Placement Agent. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 96 of this prospectus for more information regarding these arrangements.

We expect to deliver the shares of common stock and Class B Warrants, or pre-funded warrants and Class B Warrants, constituting the Units against payment in New York, New York on or about     , 2022.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

As an investor or prospective investor, you should review carefully the more detailed information that appears later in this prospectus.

Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this prospectus, the terms “OceanPal,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to OceanPal Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We use the term deadweight tons, or dwt, expressed in metric tons, each of which is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms, in describing the size of our vessels.

All references in this prospectus to “$,” “US$,” “U.S.$,” “U.S. dollars,” “dollars” and “USD” are to the lawful currency of the United States.

Our Company

We are a global provider of shipping transportation services. We specialize in the ownership of vessels. Each of our vessels is owned through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary.

We were incorporated by Diana Shipping Inc. (NYSE:DSX) (“Diana Shipping”), under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands on April 15, 2021, to serve as the holding company of the three vessel-owning subsidiaries that were contributed to us by Diana Shipping (the “OceanPal Inc. Predecessors”), together with $1.0 million in working capital, in connection with the distribution of all of our issued and outstanding common stock to Diana Shipping’s shareholders on November 29, 2021 (the “Spin-Off”). In connection with the Spin-Off, Diana Shipping received 500,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and 10,000 shares of our 8.0% Series C Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”). We and Diana Shipping are independent publicly traded companies with separate independent boards of directors. All references in this registration statement to us for periods prior to the Spin-Off refer to the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 and for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021 and the consolidated financial statements for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021 reflect the operation of the vessels starting from November 30, 2021. Operations prior to November 30, 2021 consisted principally of organizational expenses.

On November 30, 2021, our common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “OP”.

On September 20, 2022, we took delivery of the 2005-built Capesize vessel, m/v Baltimore, for the acquisition of which we had previously entered, on June 13, 2022, into a memorandum of agreement with Diana Shipping for a total consideration of $22.0 million. Of the purchase price, 20%, or $4.4 million, was paid in cash upon signing of the memorandum of agreement, and the remaining amount of $17.6 million was paid upon delivery of the vessel to us in 25,000 shares of our newly established 7.0% Series D Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series D Preferred Stock”). Please see “Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Related Party Transactions—Diana Shipping Right of First Refusal” for additional information.

As of the date of this prospectus, our operating fleet consists of four dry bulk carriers, of which two are Panamaxes and two are Capesize vessels, having a combined carrying capacity of 496,374 dwt and a weighted average age of 17.5 years. For the period from November 30, 2021 to December 31, 2021, we had fleet utilization of 100%, achieved daily time charter equivalent rates of $13,333 and generated revenues of $1.33 million, and for the first six months of 2022, we had fleet utilization of 96.5%, achieved daily time charter equivalent rates of $14,824 and generated revenues of $8.3 million.

Recent and Other Developments

First six months of 2022

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we reported net income of $1.1 million and net loss attributed to common stockholders of $0.28 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we also reported time charter revenues of $8.3 million. Time-charter equivalent rate (TCE) achieved during the first semester of 2022 was $14,824. During the six months period ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating and financing activities was $2.37 million and $11.72 million, respectively, whereas net cash used in investing activities amounted to $4.78 million. As at June 30, 2022, working capital, which is current assets minus current liabilities, amounted to $11.63 million.

Underwritten Public Offering

On January 25, 2022, we closed an underwritten public offering of 15,571,429 units at a price of $0.77 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of our common stock (or one pre-funded warrant in lieu of one share of our common stock) and one Class A warrant to purchase one share of our common stock. In addition, certain selling stockholders affiliated with us (the “Selling Stockholders”) sold an aggregate of 628,571 shares of common stock in the offering. Each of the 628,751 shares of common stock sold by the Selling Shareholders on the primary offering was delivered to the underwriters with one additional Class A warrant to purchase one share of common stock (sold by the Company), on a firm commitment basis. In addition, the underwriter for the offering

2

fully-exercised its option to purchase an additional 1,148,577 common shares from the Selling Stockholders and 1,281,423 common shares along with 2,430,000 Class A warrants from us. Each of the 1,148,577 shares of common stock sold by the Selling Shareholders upon exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, was sold with one Class A warrant (sold by the Company) to purchase one share of common stock, on a firm commitment basis. As of September 28, 2022, all prefunded warrants have been exercised and 14,474,000 Class A warrants remain available for exercise at an exercise price of $0.77 per share for up to an aggregate of the same number of shares of common stock. The gross proceeds of the offering to us, before underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $16.19 million (including the exercise of the overallotment option, the exercise of 4,156,000 Class A warrants and the exercise of all prefunded warrants). We did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common shares by the Selling Shareholders and only received the proceeds for the class A warrants sold together with the Selling Shareholders’ shares of common stock. We refer to this offering as the “January 2022 Offering.”

Nasdaq Deficiency

On March 8, 2022, we received a written notification from Nasdaq indicating that because the closing bid price of our common shares for the last 30 consecutive business days was below $1.00 per share, we no longer met the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq rules. Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the applicable grace period to regain compliance is 180 days, or until September 5, 2022. On September 6, 2022, we were granted an additional 180-day period from the NASDAQ Stock Market, through March 6, 2023, to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common shares between now and March 6, 2023 and are considering our options in order to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market minimum bid price requirement. We can cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of our common stock is $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. At our 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 5, 2022, it was approved by our shareholders that, subject to approval and implementation by our board of directors, we may effect one or more reverse stock splits on our issued shares of common stock, each at a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-10 and in the aggregate at a ratio of not more than one-for-40.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan Awards

On April 15, 2022, our Board of Directors approved the award of 1,982 shares of Series C Preferred Stock to executive management and non-executive directors, pursuant to our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (or “2021 Equity Incentive Plan”), as an annual bonus.

Acquisition of the m/v Baltimore

On June 13, 2022, we entered into a memorandum of agreement with Diana Shipping to acquire a 2005-built Capesize vessel, the m/v Baltimore, having a carrying capacity of 177,243 dwt and an age of 17.3 years, as of that date, for a total consideration of $22.0 million. Of the purchase price, 20%, or $4.4 million, was paid in cash upon signing of the memorandum of agreement, and the remaining amount was paid upon delivery of the vessel to us in 25,000 shares of our newly established Series D Preferred Stock, the material terms of which are described herein under the section “Description of Capital Stock — Series D Preferred Stock”. Our purchase of this vessel was made pursuant to our exercise of a right of first refusal granted to us by Diana Shipping on six identified vessels based on an agreement dated November 8, 2021. The vessel was delivered to the Company on September 20, 2022. The acquisition of the vessel was approved by a committee of independent members of our Board of Directors. For additional information, please see “Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Related Party Transactions — Diana Shipping Right of First Refusal.”

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We had less than $1.07 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, which means that we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage or specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

● exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley;

● exemption from new or revised financial accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards are also applicable to private companies; and

● exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and financial statements

4

We may take advantage of these provisions until the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date we first sell our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will cease to be an emerging growth company if, among other things, we have more than $1.07 billion in “total annual gross revenues” during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of these reduced burdens. For as long as we take advantage of the reduced reporting obligations, the information that we provide shareholders may be different from information provided by other public companies. We are choosing to “opt out” of the extended transition period relating to the exemption from new or revised financial accounting standards and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth public companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

● The operation of dry bulk carriers has certain unique operational risks which could affect our earnings and cash flow.

● If our vessels call on ports located in countries or territories that are the subject of sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government, the European Union, the United Nations, or other governmental authorities, it could lead to monetary fines or penalties and may adversely affect our reputation and the market for our securities.

● We conduct business in China, where the legal system is not fully developed and has inherent uncertainties that could limit the legal protections available to us.

● Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could result in fines, criminal penalties and an adverse effect on our business.

● Changing laws and evolving reporting requirements could have an adverse effect on our business.

Company Specific Risk Factors

● We have a limited operating history upon which investors can evaluate our future prospects.

● Although the market value of our vessels have increased during the past quarters, the market values have declined in recent years and may further decline in the future, which could limit the amount of funds that we can borrow in the future, trigger breaches of certain financial covenants contained in any future borrowing facilities we may enter into, and adversely affect our operating results, and we may incur a loss if we sell vessels following a decline in their market values.

8

● We charter some of our vessels on short-term time charters in a volatile shipping industry and a decline in charter hire rates could affect our results of operations and our ability to pay dividends.

● A cyber-attack could materially disrupt our business.

● Climate change and greenhouse gas restrictions may adversely impact our operations and markets.

● Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from investors, lenders and other market participants with respect to our Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) policies may impose additional costs on us or expose us to additional risks.

● Our earnings may be adversely affected if we are not able to take advantage of favorable charter rates.

● We are subject to certain risks with respect to our counterparties on contracts, and failure of such counterparties to meet their obligations could cause us to suffer losses or otherwise adversely affect our business.

● In the highly competitive international shipping industry, we may not be able to compete for charters with new entrants or established companies with greater resources, and as a result, we may be unable to employ our vessels profitably.

● We may be unable to retain and recruit qualified key executives, key employees or key consultants, may delay our development efforts or otherwise harm our business.

● Technological innovation and quality and efficiency requirements from our customers could reduce our charterhire income and the value of our vessels.

● We may not have adequate insurance to compensate us if we lose our vessels or to compensate third parties.

● Our vessels may suffer damage and we may face unexpected drydocking costs, which could adversely affect our cash flow and financial condition.

● We are exposed to U.S. dollar and foreign currency fluctuations and devaluations that could harm our reported revenue and results of operations.

● We are exposed to volatility in the USD London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, and the potential discontinuance of LIBOR beyond 2023, which could, while limited, affect our profitability, earnings and cash flow.

● We depend upon a few significant customers for a large part of our revenues and the loss of one or more of these customers could adversely affect our financial performance.

● Because we are organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands, it may be difficult to serve us with legal process or enforce judgments against us, our directors or our management.

● We may be subject to United States federal income tax on United States source income, which may reduce the Company’s earnings.

● United States tax authorities could treat us as a “passive foreign investment company,” which could have adverse United States federal income tax consequences to United States holders.

Risks Relating to our Common Stock

● We cannot assure you that our board of directors will pay dividends in the future.

9

● The market price of our common stock may fluctuate widely and there is no guarantee that an active and liquid public market for you to resell our common stock in the future will continue.

● Since we are incorporated in the Marshall Islands, which does not have a well-developed body of corporate law, you may have more difficulty protecting your interests than shareholders of a U.S. corporation.

● Future sales of our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

● Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents could make it difficult for our shareholders to replace or remove our current board of directors or have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a merger or acquisition, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Risks Relating to this Offering

● Since we have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds from this offering, we may use the proceeds in ways with which you disagree.

● Our share price may be volatile.

● We may not be able to maintain compliance with The NASDAQ Capital Market’s continued listing requirements.

● The United States federal income taxation of the pre-funded warrants is uncertain.

Risk Factors

Some of the following risks relate principally to the industry in which we operate and our business in general. Other risks relate principally to the securities market and ownership of our securities. The occurrence of any of the events described in this section could significantly and negatively affect our business, financial condition, operating results, cash available for the payment of dividends on our shares, or the trading price of our securities.

Industry Specific Risk Factors

Charter hire rates for dry bulk carriers are volatile, which may adversely affect our earnings, revenue and profitability.

The dry bulk shipping industry is cyclical with attendant volatility in charter hire rates and profitability. The degree of charter hire rate volatility among different types of dry bulk carriers has varied widely. When we charter our vessels pursuant to spot or short-term time charters, we are exposed to changes in spot market and short-term charter rates for dry bulk carriers and such changes may affect our earnings and the value of our dry bulk carriers at any given time. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully charter our vessels in the future or renew existing charters at rates sufficient to allow us to meet our obligations or pay any dividends in the future. Fluctuations in charter rates result from changes in the supply of and demand for vessel capacity and changes in the supply of and demand for the major commodities carried by water internationally. Because the factors affecting the supply of and demand for vessels are outside of our control and are unpredictable, the nature, timing, direction and degree of changes in industry conditions are also unpredictable. A significant decrease in charter rates would adversely affect our profitability, cash flows and may cause vessel values to decline, and, as a result, we may have to record an impairment charge in our consolidated financial statements which could adversely affect our financial results.

Factors that influence demand for dry bulk vessel capacity include:

● supply of and demand for energy resources, commodities, semi-finished and finished consumer and industrial products;

● changes in the exploration or production of energy resources, commodities, semi-finished and finished consumer and industrial products;

10

● the location of regional and global exploration, production and manufacturing facilities;

● the location of consuming regions for energy resources, commodities, semi-finished and finished consumer and industrial products;

● the globalization of production and manufacturing;

● global and regional economic and political conditions, including armed conflicts, terrorist activities, embargoes, strikes, tariffs and “trade wars,” including the impact of conflict in Ukraine;

● economic slowdowns caused by public health events such as the recent COVID-19 outbreak;

● natural disasters and other disruptions in international trade;

● disruptions and developments in international trade;

● changes in seaborne and other transportation patterns, including the distance cargo is transported by sea and trade patterns;

● international sanctions, embargoes, import and export restrictions, nationalizations, piracy, terrorist attacks and armed conflicts;

● legal and regulatory changes including regulations adopted by supranational authorities and/or industry bodies, such as safety and environmental regulations and requirements;

● weather and acts of God and natural disasters;

● environmental and other regulatory developments;

● currency exchange rates; and

● weather.

Factors that influence the supply of dry bulk vessel capacity include:

● the number of newbuilding orders and deliveries, including slippage in deliveries;

● the number of shipyards and ability of shipyards to deliver vessels;

● port and canal congestion;

● the scrapping rate of older vessels;

● speed of vessel operation;

● vessel casualties;

● the number of vessels that are out of service, namely those that are laid-up, dry-docked, awaiting repairs or otherwise not available for hire; and

● sanctions (in particular, sanctions on Iran and Venezuela, amongst others).

11

In addition to the prevailing and anticipated freight rates, factors that affect the rate of newbuilding, scrapping and laying-up include newbuilding prices, secondhand vessel values in relation to scrap prices, costs of bunkers and other operating costs, costs associated with classification society surveys, normal maintenance and insurance coverage costs, the efficiency and age profile of the existing dry bulk fleet in the market and government and industry regulation of maritime transportation practices, particularly environmental protection laws and regulations. These factors influencing the supply of and demand for shipping capacity are outside of our control, and we may not be able to correctly assess the nature, timing and degree of changes in industry conditions.

We anticipate that the future demand for our dry bulk carriers will be dependent upon economic growth in the world’s economies, including China and India, seasonal and regional changes in demand, changes in the capacity of the global dry bulk carrier fleet and the sources and supply of dry bulk cargo transported by sea. While there has been a general decrease in new dry bulk carrier ordering since 2014, the capacity of the global dry bulk carrier fleet could increase and economic growth may not resume in areas that have experienced a recession or continue in other areas. Adverse economic, political, social or other developments could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

The dry bulk carrier charter market remains significantly below its historic high and may have an adverse effect on our revenues, earnings and profitability.

The Baltic Dry Index, or the BDI, a daily average of charter rates for key dry bulk routes published by the Baltic Exchange Limited, has long been viewed as the main benchmark to monitor the movements of the dry bulk vessel charter market and the performance of the entire dry bulk shipping market and has been very volatile. The BDI declined 94% in 2008 from a peak of 11,793 in May 2008 to a low of 663 in December 2008 and has remained volatile since then, reaching a record low of 290 in February 2016. In 2020, the BDI ranged from a low of 393 in May to a high of 2,097 in October, increased to a high of 5,650 on October 7, 2021, and dropped to 2,217 on December 24, 2021. The BDI further dropped to 1,296 on January 26, 2022, increased to a high of 3,369 on May 23, 2022, further dropped to 965 on August 31, 2022 and as of September 28, 2022 was 1,799. There can be no assurance that the dry bulk charter market will continue to improve in the future. The volatility in charter rates in the dry bulk market affects our earnings and results of operations and also affects the value of our dry bulk vessels, which follows the trends of dry bulk charter rates.

Volatility in the dry bulk carrier charter market has had and may continue to have additional adverse consequences for our industry, including an absence of financing for vessels, no active secondhand market for the sale of vessels, charterers seeking to renegotiate the rates for existing time charters, and widespread loan covenant defaults in the dry bulk shipping industry. Accordingly, the value of our common shares could be substantially reduced or eliminated.

The current state of the global financial markets and current economic conditions may adversely impact our results of operation, financial condition, cash flows, and ability to obtain additional financing or refinance any future credit facilities on acceptable terms which may negatively impact our business.

Global financial markets and economic conditions have been, and continue to be, volatile. Beginning in February 2020, due in part to fears associated with the spread of COVID-19 (as more fully described below), global financial markets, and starting in late February, financial markets in the U.S., experienced even greater relative volatility and may continue as COVID-19 pandemic and governmental responses continues to develop. Credit markets and the debt and equity capital markets have been distressed and the uncertainty surrounding the future of the global credit markets has resulted in reduced access to credit worldwide, particularly for the shipping industry. These issues, along with significant write-offs in the financial services sector, the repricing of credit risk and the current economic conditions, may make it difficult to obtain financing in the future. The current state of global financial markets and current economic conditions might adversely impact our ability to issue additional equity at prices that will not be dilutive to our shareholders or preclude us from issuing equity at all. Economic conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

Also, as a result of concerns about the stability of financial markets generally and the solvency of counterparties specifically, the availability and cost of obtaining money from the public and private equity and debt markets has become more difficult. Many lenders have increased interest rates, enacted tighter lending standards, refused to refinance existing debt at all or on terms similar to current debt and reduced, and in some cases ceased, to provide funding to borrowers and other market participants, including equity and debt investors, and some have been unwilling to invest on attractive terms or even at all. Due to these factors, we cannot be certain that additional financing will be available if needed and to the extent required, on acceptable terms or at all. If financing or refinancing is not available when needed, or is available only on unfavorable terms, we may be unable to meet our obligations as they come due or

12

we may be unable to meet our obligations as they come due or we may be unable to enhance our existing business, complete additional vessel acquisitions or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities as they arise.

Credit markets in the United States and Europe have in the past experienced significant contraction, deleveraging and reduced liquidity, and there is a risk that the U.S. federal government and state governments and European authorities continue to implement a broad variety of governmental action and/or new regulation of the financial markets. Global financial markets and economic conditions have been, and continue to be, disrupted and volatile. We face risks attendant to changes in economic environments, changes in interest rates, and instability in the banking and securities markets around the world, among other factors which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition and may cause the price of our common shares to decline.

Regulations relating to ballast water discharge may adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

The IMO has imposed updated guidelines for ballast water management systems specifying the maximum amount of viable organisms allowed to be discharged from a vessel’s ballast water. Depending on the date of the International Oil Pollution Prevention (‘IOPP’) renewal survey, existing vessels constructed before September 8, 2017 must comply with the updated D-2 Discharge Performance Standard (‘D-2 standard’) on or after September 8, 2019. For most vessels, compliance with the D-2 standard will involve installing on-board systems to treat ballast water and eliminate unwanted organisms. Ships constructed on or after September 8, 2017 are to comply with the D-2 standards on or after September 8, 2017. We currently have one vessel that has to comply with the updated guideline by mid-2022 and costs of compliance may be substantial and adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

Furthermore, United States regulations are currently changing. Although the 2013 Vessel General Permit (“VGP”) program and U.S. National Invasive Species Act (“NISA”) are currently in effect to regulate ballast discharge, exchange and installation, the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act (“VIDA”), which was signed into law on December 4, 2018, requires that the EPA develop national standards of performance for approximately 30 discharges, similar to those found in the VGP within two years. By approximately 2022, the U.S. Coast Guard must develop corresponding implementation, compliance, and enforcement regulations regarding ballast water. The new regulations, which are not yet finalized, could require the installation of new equipment, which may cause us to incur substantial costs.

An over-supply of dry bulk carrier capacity may lead to reductions in current charter rates, vessel values and profitability.

The market supply of dry bulk carriers has increased materially since 2009 due to a high level of new deliveries in the last few years. Although dry bulk newbuilding deliveries have tapered off since 2014, newbuildings continued to be delivered through the end of 2018. While vessel supply will continue to be affected by the delivery of new vessels and the removal of vessels from the global fleet, either through scrapping or accidental losses, an over-supply of dry bulk carrier capacity could prolong the period during which low charter rates prevail.

Risks associated with operating ocean-going vessels could affect our business and reputation, which could adversely affect our revenues and stock price.

The operation of ocean-going vessels carries inherent risks. These risks include the possibility of:

● marine disaster;

● acts of God;

● terrorism;

● environmental accidents;

● cargo and property losses or damage;

● business interruptions caused by mechanical failures, grounding, fire, explosions and collisions, human error, war, terrorism, piracy and other circumstances or events. In addition, changing economic, regulatory and political conditions in some

13

countries, including political and military conflicts, have from time to time resulted in attacks on vessels, mining of waterways, piracy, terrorism, labor strikes or adverse weather conditions; and

● Piracy or robbery.

These hazards may result in death or injury to persons, loss of revenues or property, the payment of ransoms, environmental damage, higher insurance rates, damage to our customer relationships, and market disruptions, delay or rerouting, which may also subject us to litigation. If our vessels suffer damage, they may need to be repaired at a drydocking facility. The costs of drydock repairs and maintenance are unpredictable and may be substantial. We may have to pay drydocking costs that our insurance does not cover in full. The loss of revenues while these vessels are being repaired and repositioned, as well as the actual cost of these repairs, may adversely affect our business and financial condition. In addition, space at drydocking facilities is sometimes limited and not all drydocking facilities are conveniently located. We may be unable to find space at a suitable drydocking facility or our vessels may be forced to travel to a drydocking facility that is not conveniently located to our vessels’ positions. The loss of earnings while these vessels are forced to wait for space or to travel to more distant drydocking facilities may adversely affect our business and financial condition. Further, the total loss of any of our vessels in an environmental disaster may also harm our reputation as a safe and reliable vessel owner and operator. If we are unable to adequately maintain or safeguard our vessels, we may be unable to prevent any such damage, costs, or loss which could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and available cash.

In addition, international shipping is subject to various security and customs inspection and related procedures in countries of origin and destination and trans-shipment points. Inspection procedures can result in the seizure of the cargo and/or our vessels, delays in the loading, offloading or delivery and the levying of customs duties, fines or other penalties against us. It is possible that changes to inspection procedures could impose additional financial and legal obligations on us. Furthermore, changes to inspection procedures could also impose additional costs and obligations on our customers and may, in certain cases, render the shipment of certain types of cargo uneconomical or impractical. Any such changes or developments may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and available cash.

World events could affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Continuing conflicts and recent developments in the Middle East, including increased tensions between the U.S. and Iran, as well as other geographic countries and areas, geopolitical events such as Brexit, terrorist or other attacks, and war (or threatened war) or international hostilities, such as those between the United States and North Korea may lead to armed conflict or acts of terrorism around the world, which may contribute to further economic instability in the global financial markets, and international commerce. These uncertainties could also adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. In the past, political conflicts have also resulted in attacks on vessels, mining of waterways and other efforts to disrupt international shipping, particularly in the Arabian Gulf region. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse impact on our operating results. Furthermore, the continuing hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, in addition to sanctions announced on February 22, 2022 by President Biden and several European leaders against Russia and any forthcoming sanctions, may also adversely impact our business, and the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine may lead to further regional and international conflicts or armed action. It is possible that such conflict could disrupt supply chains and cause instability in the global economy. Additionally, Brexit, or similar events in other jurisdictions, could impact global markets, including foreign exchange and securities markets; any resulting changes in currency exchange rates, tariffs, treaties and other regulatory matters could in turn adversely impact our business and operations.

Outbreaks of epidemic and pandemic diseases, including COVID-19, and governmental responses thereto could adversely affect our business.

Global public health threats, such as COVID-19 (as described more fully below), influenza and other highly communicable diseases or viruses, outbreaks of which have from time to time occurred in various parts of the world in which we operate, including China, could adversely impact our operations, as well as the operations of our customers. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has, among other things, caused delays and uncertainties relating to newbuildings, drydockings and other functions of shipyards.

The ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has already caused severe global disruptions and may continue to negatively economic conditions regionally as well as globally and otherwise impact our operations and the operations of our customers and suppliers. Governments in affected countries continue to impose travel bans, quarantines and other emergency public health measures. Companies are also taking precautions, such as requiring employees to work remotely, imposing travel restrictions

14

and temporarily closing businesses. These restrictions, and future prevention and mitigation measures, are likely to continue to have an adverse impact on global economic conditions, which could materially and adversely affect our future operations. Uncertainties regarding the economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is likely to result in sustained market turmoil, which could also negatively impact our business, financial condition and cash flows. As a result of these measures, our vessels may not be able to call on ports, or may be restricted from disembarking from ports, located in regions affected by the outbreak. In addition we may experience severe operational disruptions and delays, unavailability of normal port infrastructure and services including limited access to equipment, critical goods and personnel, disruptions to crew change, quarantine of ships and/or crew, counterparty solidity, closure of ports and custom offices, as well as disruptions in the supply chain and industrial production, which may lead to reduced cargo demand, amongst other potential consequences attendant to epidemic and pandemic diseases.

The COVID-19 pandemic and measures to contain its spread have negatively impacted regional and global economies and trade patterns in markets in which we operate, the way we operate our business, and the businesses of our charterers and suppliers. These negative impacts could continue or worsen, even after the pandemic itself diminishes or ends. Companies, including us, have also taken precautions, such as requiring employees to work remotely and imposing travel restrictions, while some other businesses have been required to close entirely. Moreover, we face significant risks to our personnel and operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our crews face risk of exposure to COVID-19 as a result of travel to ports in which cases of COVID-19 have been reported. Our shore-based personnel likewise face risk of such exposure, as we maintain offices in areas that have been impacted by the spread of COVID-19.

Measures against COVID-19 in a number of countries have restricted crew rotations on our vessels, which may continue or become more severe. As a result, in 2020, vessel operators experienced and may continue to experience disruptions to normal vessel operations caused by increased deviation time associated with positioning vessels to countries in which they can undertake a crew rotation in compliance with such measures. Delays in crew rotations have led to issues with crew fatigue and may continue to do so, which may result in delays or other operational issues. We expect to incur increased expenses due to incremental fuel consumption and days in which our vessels are unable to earn revenue in order to deviate to certain ports on which we would ordinarily not call during a typical voyage. We may also incur additional expenses associated with testing, personal protective equipment, quarantines, and travel expenses such as airfare costs in order to perform crew rotations in the current environment.

The COVID-19 pandemic and measures in place against the spread of the virus have led to a highly difficult environment in which to dispose of vessels given difficulty to physically inspect vessels. The impact of COVID-19 has also resulted in reduced industrial activity in China with temporary closures of factories and other facilities, labor shortages and restrictions on travel. We believe these disruptions along with other seasonal factors, including lower demand for some of the cargoes we carry such as iron ore and coal, contributed to lower drybulk rates in 2020.

Epidemics may also affect personnel operating payment systems through which we receive revenues from the chartering of our vessels or pay for our expenses, resulting in delays in payments. Organizations across industries, including ours, are rightly focusing on their employees’ well-being, while making sure that their operations continue undisrupted and at the same time, adapting to the new ways of operating. As such employees are encouraged or even required to operate remotely which significantly increases the risk of cyber security attacks.

At present, it is not possible to ascertain the overall impact of COVID-19 on our business. However, the occurrence of any of the foregoing events or other epidemics or an increase in the severity or duration of the COVID-19 or other epidemics could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, value of our vessels, and ability to pay dividends.

The extent of the COVID-19 outbreak’s effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, any resurgence or mutation of the virus, the continued availability of vaccines and their global deployment, the development of effective treatments, the imposition of effective public safety and other protective measures and the public’s response to such measures. There continues to be a high level of uncertainty relating to how the pandemic will evolve, how governments and consumers will react and progress on the approval and distribution of vaccines, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape. As a result, the ultimate severity of the COVID-19 outbreak is uncertain at this time and therefore we cannot predict the impact it may have on our future operations, which impact could be material and adverse, particularly if the pandemic continues to evolve into a severe worldwide health crisis.

15

Acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels could adversely affect our business.

Acts of piracy have historically affected ocean-going vessels trading in regions of the world such as the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean and in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia, Sulu Sea and Celebes Sea and in particular the Gulf of Guinea region off Nigeria, which experienced increased incidents of piracy in 2019. Although the frequency of sea piracy worldwide has generally decreased since 2013, sea piracy incidents continue to occur. Acts of piracy could result in harm or danger to the crews that man our vessels. In addition, if these piracy attacks occur in regions in which our vessels are deployed that insurers characterized as “war risk” zones or Joint War Committee “war and strikes” listed areas, premiums payable for such coverage could increase significantly and such insurance coverage may be more difficult to obtain. In addition, crew costs, including due to employing onboard security guards, could increase in such circumstances. Furthermore, while we believe the charterer remains liable for charter payments when a vessel is seized by pirates, the charterer may dispute this and withhold charterhire until the vessel is released. A charterer may also claim that a vessel seized by pirates was not “on-hire” for a certain number of days and is therefore entitled to cancel the charter party, a claim that we would dispute. We may not be adequately insured to cover losses from these incidents, which could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, any detention hijacking as a result of an act of piracy against our vessels, or an increase in cost, or unavailability, of insurance for our vessels, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and earnings.

Our operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations, which could affect our operating results.

We operate our vessels in markets that have historically exhibited seasonal variations in demand and, as a result, in charter hire rates. This seasonality may result in quarter-to-quarter volatility in our operating results. The dry bulk carrier market is typically stronger in the fall and winter months in anticipation of increased consumption of coal and other raw materials in the northern hemisphere during the winter months. In addition, unpredictable weather patterns in these months tend to disrupt vessel scheduling and supplies of certain commodities. As a result, our revenues may be weaker during the fiscal quarters ended June 30 and September 30, and, conversely, our revenues may be stronger in fiscal quarters ended December 31 and March 31. While this seasonality will not directly affect our operating results, it could materially affect our operating results to the extent our vessels are employed in the spot market in the future.

An increase in the price of fuel may adversely affect our profits.

While we generally will not bear the cost of fuel or bunkers for vessels operating on time charters, fuel is a significant factor in negotiating charter rates. As a result, an increase in the price of fuel beyond our expectations may adversely affect our profitability at the time of charter negotiation. Fuel is also a significant, if not the largest, expense in shipping when vessels are under voyage charter. The price and supply of fuel is unpredictable and fluctuates based on events outside our control, including geopolitical developments, supply of and demand for oil and gas, actions by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC and other oil and gas producers, war and unrest in oil producing countries and regions, regional production patterns and environmental concerns and regulations. In March 2020 the price of oil decreased significantly due to economic conditions and an increase in oil production. However, fuel prices have increased since then and may continue to increase in the future, including as a result of the continuing impact new regulations mandating a reduction in sulfur emissions to 0.5% as of January 2020. The current conflict in Ukraine and the response of the international community to such conflict is also having a significant impact on the price of oil and, as result, is resulting in significant increases in the cost of fuel for bunkers for the shipping industry as a whole. Further increases in fuel prices in the future may reduce the profitability and competitiveness of our business versus other forms of transportation, such as truck or rail. Other future regulations may have a similar impact.

We are subject to complex laws and regulations, including environmental regulations that can adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of doing business.

Our business and the operations of our vessels are materially affected by environmental regulation in the form of international conventions, national, state and local laws and regulations in force in the jurisdictions in which our vessels operate, as well as in the country or countries of their registration, including those governing the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the cleanup of oil spills and other contamination, air emissions (including greenhouse gases), water discharges and ballast water management. These regulations include, but are not limited to, European Union regulations, the U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990, requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard, or USCG and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Clean Air Act of 1970 (including its amendments of 1977 and 1990), the U.S. Clean Water Act, and the U.S. Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, and regulations of the IMO, including the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage of 1969, the

16

International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships of 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978, collectively referred to as MARPOL 73/78 or MARPOL, including designations of Emission Control Areas, thereunder, SOLAS, the International Convention on Load Lines of 1966, the International Convention of Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, and the ISM Code. Because such conventions, laws, and regulations are often revised, we cannot predict the ultimate cost of complying with such requirements or the impact thereof on the re-sale price or useful life of any vessel that we own or will acquire. Additional conventions, laws and regulations may be adopted that could limit our ability to do business or increase the cost of our doing business and which may materially adversely affect our operations. Government regulation of vessels, particularly in the areas of safety and environmental requirements, continue to change, requiring us to incur significant capital expenditures on our vessels to keep them in compliance, or even to scrap or sell certain vessels altogether. In addition, we may incur significant costs in meeting new maintenance and inspection requirements, in developing contingency arrangements for potential environmental violations and in obtaining insurance coverage.

In addition, we are required by various governmental and quasi-governmental agencies to obtain certain permits, licenses, certificates, approvals and financial assurances with respect to our operations. Our failure to maintain necessary permits, licenses, certificates, approvals or financial assurances could require us to incur substantial costs or temporarily suspend operation of one or more of the vessels in our fleet, or lead to the invalidation or reduction of our insurance coverage.

Environmental requirements can also affect the resale value or useful lives of our vessels, require a reduction in cargo capacity, ship modifications or operational changes or restrictions, lead to decreased availability of insurance coverage for environmental matters or result in the denial of access to certain jurisdictional waters or ports, or detention in certain ports. Under local, national and foreign laws, as well as international treaties and conventions, we could incur material liabilities, including for cleanup obligations and natural resource damages, in the event that there is a release of petroleum or hazardous substances from our vessels or otherwise in connection with our operations. We could also become associated with our existing or historic operations. Violations of, or liabilities under, environmental requirements can result in substantial penalties, fines and other sanctions, including in certain instances, seizure or detention of our vessels.

Increased inspection procedures, tighter import and export controls and new security regulations could increase costs and disrupt our business.

International shipping is subject to various security and customs inspection and related procedures in countries of origin, destination and trans-shipment points. These security procedures may result in cargo seizure, delays in the loading, offloading, trans-shipment or delivery and the levying of customs duties, fines or other penalties against us.

It is possible that changes to inspection procedures could impose additional financial and legal obligations on us. Changes to inspection procedures could also impose additional costs and obligations on our customers and may, in certain cases, render the shipment of certain types of cargo uneconomical or impractical. Any such changes or developments may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and earnings.

The operation of dry bulk carriers has certain unique operational risks which could affect our earnings and cash flow.

The international shipping industry is an inherently risky business involving global operations. Our vessels and their cargoes are at risk of being damaged or lost because of events such as marine disasters, bad weather, mechanical failures, human error, environmental accidents, war, terrorism, piracy and other circumstances or events. In addition, transporting cargoes across a wide variety of international jurisdictions creates a risk of business interruptions due to political circumstances in foreign countries, hostilities, labor strikes and boycotts, the potential for changes in tax rates or policies, and the potential for government expropriation of our vessels. Any of these events may result in loss of revenues, increased costs and decreased cash flows to our customers, which could impair their ability to make payments to us under our charters.

Furthermore, the operation of vessels, such as dry bulk carriers, has certain unique risks. With a dry bulk carrier, the cargo itself and its interaction with the vessel can be an operational risk. By their nature, dry bulk cargoes are often heavy, dense, easily shifted, and react badly to water exposure. In addition, dry bulk carriers are often subjected to battering treatment during unloading operations with grabs, jackhammers (to pry encrusted cargoes out of the hold) and small bulldozers. This treatment may cause damage to the vessel. Vessels damaged due to treatment during unloading procedures may be more susceptible to breach to the sea. Hull breaches in dry bulk carriers may lead to the flooding of the vessels’ holds. If a dry bulk carrier suffers flooding in its forward holds, the bulk cargo may become so dense and waterlogged that its pressure may buckle the vessel’s bulkheads leading to the loss of a vessel. If we

17

are unable to adequately repair our vessels after such damages, we may be unable to prevent these events. Any of these circumstances or events could negatively impact our business, financial condition, earnings, and ability to pay dividends, if any, in the future. In addition, the loss of any of our vessels could harm our reputation as a safe and reliable vessel owner and operator.

We cannot assure you that we will be adequately insured against all risks or that we will be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates for our vessels in the future. For example, in the past more stringent environmental regulations have led to increased costs for, and in the future may result in the lack of availability of, insurance against risks of environmental damage or pollution. Additionally, our insurers may refuse to pay particular claims. Any significant loss or liability for which we are not insured could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

If our vessels call on ports located in countries or territories that are the subject of sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. government, the European Union, the United Nations, or other governmental authorities, it could lead to monetary fines or penalties and may adversely affect our reputation and the market for our securities.

If our vessels call on ports or operate in countries subject to sanctions and embargoes imposed by the U.S. government or other governmental authorities (“Sanctioned Jurisdictions”) in violation of sanctions or embargoes laws, such activities may result in a sanctions violation and we could be subject to monetary fines, penalties, or other sanctions, and our reputation and the market for our ordinary shares could adversely affected. Although we endeavor to take precautions reasonably designed to mitigate such risks, it is possible that, in the future, our vessels may call on ports located in Sanctioned Jurisdictions on charterer’s instructions and/or without our consent. If such activities result in a violation of sanctions or embargo laws, we could be subject to monetary fines, penalties, or other sanctions, and our reputation and the market for our securities could be adversely affected.

The U.S. and other sanctions and embargo laws and regulations vary in their application, as they do not all apply to the same covered persons or proscribe the same activities, and such sanctions and embargo laws and regulations may be amended or expanded over time. Current or future counterparties of ours may be affiliated with persons or entities that are or may be in the future the subject of sanctions or embargoes imposed by the governments of the U.S., the EU, and/or other international bodies. If we determine that such sanctions require us to terminate existing or future contracts to which we, or our subsidiaries, are party or if we are found to be in violation of such applicable sanctions, our results of operations may be adversely affected or we may suffer reputational harm.

Although we believe that we have been in compliance with all applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations, and intend to maintain such compliance, there can be no assurance that we will be in compliance in the future, particularly as the scope of certain laws may be unclear and may be subject to changing interpretations. Any such violation could result in fines, penalties or other sanctions that could negatively impact our ability to access U.S. capital markets and conduct our business, and could result in some investors deciding, or being required, to divest their interest, or not to invest, in us. In addition, certain institutional investors may have investment policies or restrictions that prevent them from holding securities of companies that have contracts with countries identified by the U.S. government as state sponsors of terrorism. The determination by these investors not to invest in, or to divest from, our common stock may adversely affect the price at which our common stock trades. Moreover, our charterers may violate applicable sanctions and embargo laws and regulations as a result of actions that do not involve us or our vessels, and those violations could in turn negatively affect our reputation. In addition, our reputation and the market for our securities may be adversely affected if we engage in certain other activities, such as entering into charters with individuals or entities that are not controlled by the governments of countries or territories that are the subject of certain U.S. sanctions or embargo laws, or engaging in operations associated with those countries or territories pursuant to contracts with third parties that are unrelated to those countries or territories or entities controlled by their governments. Investor perception of the value of our common stock may be adversely affected by the consequences of war, the effects of terrorism, civil unrest and governmental actions in the countries or territories that we operate in.

The smuggling of drugs or other contraband onto our vessels may lead to governmental claims against us.

We expect that our vessels will call in ports in areas where smugglers attempt to hide drugs and other contraband on vessels, with or without the knowledge of crew members. To the extent our vessels are found with contraband, whether inside or attached to the hull of our vessel and whether with or without the knowledge of any of our crew, we may face governmental or other regulatory claims which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

18

Maritime claimants could arrest or attach our vessels, which would interrupt our business or have a negative effect on our cash flows.

Crew members, suppliers of goods and services to a vessel, shippers of cargo, lenders, and other parties may be entitled to a maritime lien against that vessel for unsatisfied debts, claims or damages. In many jurisdictions, a maritime lien holder may enforce its lien by arresting or attaching a vessel through foreclosure proceedings. The arrest or attachment of one or more of our vessels could interrupt our business or require us to pay large sums of funds to have the arrest or attachment lifted, which would have a negative effect on our cash flows.

In addition, in some jurisdictions, such as South Africa, under the “sister-ship” theory of liability, a claimant may arrest both the vessel that is subject to the claimant’s maritime lien and any “associated” vessel, which is any vessel owned or controlled by the same owner. Claimants could try to assert “sister-ship” liability against one vessel in our fleet for claims relating to another of our ships.

We conduct business in China, where the legal system is not fully developed and has inherent uncertainties that could limit the legal protections available to us.

Some of our vessels may be chartered to Chinese customers and from time to time on our charterers’ instructions, our vessels may call on Chinese ports. Such charters and voyages may be subject to regulations in China that may require us to incur new or additional compliance or other administrative costs and may require that we pay to the Chinese government new taxes or other fees. Applicable laws and regulations in China may not be well publicized and may not be known to us or to our charterers in advance of us or our charterers becoming subject to them, and the implementation of such laws and regulations may be inconsistent. Changes in Chinese laws and regulations, including with regards to tax matters, or changes in their implementation by local authorities could affect our vessels if chartered to Chinese customers as well as our vessels calling to Chinese ports and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Governments could requisition our vessels during a period of war or emergency, resulting in a loss of earnings.

A government could requisition one or more of our vessels for title or for hire. Requisition for title occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and becomes her owner, while requisition for hire occurs when a government takes control of a vessel and effectively becomes her charterer at dictated charter rates. Generally, requisitions occur during periods of war or emergency, although governments may elect to requisition vessels in other circumstances. Although we would be entitled to compensation in the event of a requisition of one or more of our vessels, the amount and timing of payment would be uncertain. Government requisition of one or more of our vessels may negatively impact our revenues and reduce the amount of cash we may have available for distribution as dividends to our shareholders, if any such dividends are declared.

Failure to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could result in fines, criminal penalties and an adverse effect on our business.

We may operate in a number of countries throughout the world, including countries suspected to have a risk of corruption. We are committed to doing business in accordance with applicable anti-corruption laws and have adopted measures designed to ensure compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”). We are subject, however, to the risk that we, our affiliated entities or our or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents may take actions determined to be in violation of such anti-corruption laws, including the FCPA. Any such violation could result in substantial fines, sanctions, civil and/or criminal penalties, curtailment of operations in certain jurisdictions, and might adversely affect our business, earnings or financial condition. In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage our reputation and ability to do business. Furthermore, detecting, investigating, and resolving actual or alleged violations is expensive and can consume significant time and attention of our senior management.

Changing laws and evolving reporting requirements could have an adverse effect on our business.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to reporting requirements, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, may create additional compliance requirements for us.

19

GDPR broadens the scope of personal privacy laws to protect the rights of European Union citizens and requires organizations to report on data breaches within 72 hours and be bound by more stringent rules for obtaining the consent of individuals on how their data can be used. GDPR has become enforceable on May 25, 2018 and non-compliance may expose entities to significant fines or other regulatory claims which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operations.

Company Specific Risk Factors

We have a limited operating history upon which investors can evaluate our future prospects.

We have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our business plan or performance and prospects can be made. Our business and prospects must be considered in the light of the potential problems, delays, uncertainties and complications encountered in connection with a newly established business. The risks include, but are not limited to, the possibility that we will not successfully manage our fleet; or that we are not able to upgrade and enhance our vessels to accommodate new features or regulations and expanded services. There are no assurances that we can successfully address these challenges and if unsuccessful, we and our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

The market values of our vessels have declined in recent years and may further decline, which could limit the amount of funds that we can borrow in the future, trigger breaches of certain financial covenants contained in any future borrowing facilities we may enter into, and adversely affect our operating results, and we may incur a loss if we sell vessels following a decline in their market values.

The market values of our vessels, which are related to prevailing freight charter rates, have fluctuated significantly in recent years. While the market values of vessels and the freight charter market have a very close relationship as the charter market moves from trough to peak, the time lag between the effect of charter rates on market values of ships can vary.

The market values of our vessels have generally experienced high volatility, and you should expect the market values of our vessels to fluctuate depending on a number of factors including:

● the prevailing level of charter hire rates;

● general economic and market conditions affecting the shipping industry;

● competition from other shipping companies and other modes of transportation;

● the types, sizes and ages of vessels;

● the supply of and demand for vessels;

● applicable governmental or other regulations;

● technological advances;

● the need to upgrade vessels as a result of charterer requirements, technological advances in vessel design or equipment or otherwise; and

● the cost of newbuildings.

The market values of our vessels are at low levels compared to historical averages and if the market values of our vessels were to decline further, we may not be able to comply with certain covenants contained in any future loan facilities we enter into and we may not be able to incur debt on terms that are acceptable to us or at all or to refinance any debt we may have in the future.

Furthermore, if we sell any of our owned vessels at a time when prices are depressed, our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition could be adversely affected. Moreover, if we sell a vessel at a time when vessel prices have fallen and before we have recorded an impairment adjustment to our financial statements, the sale may be at less than the vessel’s carrying

20

amount in our financial statements, resulting in a loss and a reduction in earnings. In addition, if vessel values persist or decline further, we may have to record an impairment adjustment in our financial statements which could adversely affect our financial results.

We charter our vessels on short-term time charters in a volatile shipping industry and a decline in charter hire rates could affect our results of operations and our ability to pay dividends.

Although significant exposure to short-term time charters is not unusual in the dry bulk shipping industry, the short-term time charter market is highly competitive and spot market charter hire rates (which affect time charter rates) may fluctuate significantly based upon available charters and the supply of, and demand for, seaborne shipping capacity. While the short-term time charter market may enable us to benefit in periods of increasing charter hire rates, we must consistently renew our charters and this dependence makes us vulnerable to declining charter rates. As a result of the volatility in the dry bulk carrier charter market, we may not be able to employ our vessels upon the termination of their existing charters at their current charter hire rates or at all. The dry bulk carrier charter market is volatile, and in the recent past, short-term time charter and spot market charter rates for some dry bulk carriers declined below the operating costs of those vessels before rising. We cannot assure you that future charter hire rates will enable us to operate our vessels profitably, or to pay dividends.

We and our principal officers and directors have affiliations with Diana Shipping, Steamship Shipbroking Enterprises Inc. (“Steamship”) and Diana Wilhelmsen Management Limited (“DWM”) that could create conflicts of interest detrimental to us.

Our principal officers and directors are also principals, officers and employees of Diana Shipping, Steamship and DWM. These responsibilities and relationships could create conflicts of interest between us and Diana Shipping, Steamship or DWM. Conflicts may also arise in connection with the chartering, purchase, sale and operations of the vessels in our fleet versus other vessels that are or may be managed in the future by Steamship or DWM and that are owned by Diana Shipping. While we have entered into a non-competition agreement with Diana Shipping, we cannot assure you that such agreement will successfully address all potential conflicts of interest that arise or that all conflicts will be resolved in our favor. Circumstances in any of these instances may make one decision advantageous to us but detrimental to Diana Shipping, Steamship or DWM, and vice versa.

Companies affiliated with Diana Shipping or Steamship or with our officers and directors, may acquire vessels that compete with our fleet.

Diana Shipping and other entities affiliated with Diana Shipping, or with our officers and directors, own dry bulk vessels and may acquire additional dry bulk vessels in the future. These vessels could be in competition with our fleet, and other companies affiliated with Diana Shipping or Steamship might be faced with conflicts of interest with respect to their own interests and their obligations to us. We cannot assure you that such conflicts will be resolved in our favor.

Certain of our officers and directors participate in business activities not associated with us, and do not devote all of their time to our business, which may create conflicts of interest and hinder our ability to operate successfully.

Our officers and directors have fiduciary duties to manage our business in a manner beneficial to us and our shareholders. However, our Chairperson and Director, Mrs. Semiramis Paliou, also serves as Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Diana Shipping; our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Mr. Eleftherios A. Paratrifon, also serves as Chief Operating Officer of Diana Shipping; and our Director, President, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, Mr. Ioannis Zafirakis, also serves as Chief Strategy Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and a Director of Diana Shipping. Mrs. Paliou, Mr. Papatrifon and Mr. Zafirakis also serve on our Executive Committee. As a result, Mrs. Paliou, Mr. Papatrifon and Mr. Zafirakis have fiduciary duties to manage the business of Diana Shipping and its affiliates in a manner beneficial to such entities and their shareholders. Consequently, they may encounter situations in which their fiduciary obligations to Diana Shipping and us are in conflict. We use our best efforts to cause compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in addressing such conflicts of interest. Our executive officers participate in business activities not associated with us and are not required to work full-time on our affairs. Our executive officers may devote less time to us than if they were not engaged in other business activities and may owe fiduciary duties to the shareholders of other companies with which they may be affiliated, including Diana Shipping. Their other business activities may create conflicts of interest in matters involving or affecting us and our customers and it is not certain that any of these conflicts of interest will be resolved in our favor. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

21

We depend entirely on DWM and Steamship to provide the management of our fleet. The termination of our arrangements with DWM or Steamship, or DWM’s or Steamship’s failure to perform their obligations under our management agreements with them, may temporarily adversely affect our operations.

DWM or Steamship may fail to perform their obligations to us or may terminate their management agreement with us other than in accordance with the terms of our management agreements with them, either of which could adversely affect our operations during the process of identifying a replacement for DWM or Steamship (as applicable) and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of our operations.

Rising crew costs could adversely affect our results of operations.

Due to an increase in the size of the global shipping fleet, the limited supply of and increased demand for crew has created upward pressure on crew costs. Continued higher crew costs or further increases in crew costs could adversely affect our results of operations.

A cyber-attack could materially disrupt our business.

We rely on information technology systems and networks in our operations and administration of our business. Information systems are vulnerable to security breaches by computer hackers and cyber terrorists. We rely on industry accepted security measures and technology to securely maintain confidential and proprietary information maintained on our information systems. However, these measures and technology may not adequately prevent security breaches. Our business operations could be targeted by individuals or groups seeking to sabotage or disrupt our information technology systems and networks, or to steal data. A successful cyber-attack could materially disrupt our operations, including the safety of our operations, or lead to unauthorized release of information or alteration of information in our systems. Any such attack or other breach of our information technology systems could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, the unavailability of the information systems or the failure of these systems to perform as anticipated for any reason could disrupt our business and could result in decreased performance and increased operating costs, causing our business and results of operations to suffer. Any significant interruption or failure of our information systems or any significant breach of security could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Additionally, due to Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine, we may be subject to elevated cybersecurity risk. Moreover, cyberattacks against the Ukrainian government and other countries in the region have been reported in connection with the aforementioned invasion. To the extent such attacks have collateral effects on global critical infrastructure or financial institutions, such developments could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. At this time, it is difficult to assess the likelihood of such threat and any potential impact.

Climate change and greenhouse gas restrictions may adversely impact our operations and markets.

Due to concern over the risk of climate change, a number of countries and the IMO have adopted, or are considering the adoption of, regulatory frameworks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These regulatory measures may include, among others, adoption of cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes, increased efficiency standards and incentives or mandates for renewable energy. More specifically, on October 27, 2016, the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (“MEPC”) announced its decision concerning the implementation of regulations mandating a reduction in sulfur emissions from 3.5% currently to 0.5% as of the beginning of January 1, 2020. Additionally, in April 2018, nations at the MEPC 72 adopted an initial strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships. The initial strategy identifies levels of ambition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including (1) decreasing the carbon intensity from ships through implementation of further phases of the EEDI for new ships; (2) reducing carbon dioxide emissions per transport work, as an average across international shipping, by at least 40% by 2030, pursuing efforts towards 70% by 2050, compared to 2008 emission levels; and (3) reducing the total annual greenhouse emissions by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008 while pursuing efforts towards phasing them out entirely.

Since January 1, 2020, ships have to either remove sulfur from emissions or buy fuel with low sulfur content, which may lead to increased costs and supplementary investments for ship owners. The interpretation of “fuel oil used on board” includes use in main engine, auxiliary engines and boilers. Shipowners may comply with this regulation by (i) using 0.5% sulfur fuels on board, which are available around the world but at a higher cost; (ii) installing scrubbers for cleaning of the exhaust gas; or (iii) by retrofitting vessels to be powered by liquefied natural gas, which may not be a viable option due to the lack of supply network and high costs involved in

22

this process. Costs of compliance with these regulatory changes may be significant and may have a material adverse effect on our future performance, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

In addition, although the emissions of greenhouse gases from international shipping currently are not subject to the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which required adopting countries to implement national programs to reduce emissions of certain gases, or the Paris Agreement (discussed further below), a new treaty may be adopted in the future that includes restrictions on shipping emissions. Compliance with changes in laws, regulations and obligations relating to climate change could increase our costs related to operating and maintaining our vessels and require us to install new emission controls, acquire allowances or pay taxes related to our greenhouse gas emissions or administer and manage a greenhouse gas emissions program. Revenue generation and strategic growth opportunities may also be adversely affected.

Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from investors, lenders and other market participants with respect to our Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) policies may impose additional costs on us or expose us to additional risks.

Companies across all industries are facing increasing scrutiny relating to their ESG policies. Investor advocacy groups, certain institutional investors, investment funds, lenders and other market participants are increasingly focused on ESG practices and in recent years have placed increasing importance on the implications and social cost of their investments. The increased focus and activism related to ESG and similar matters may hinder access to capital, as investors and lenders may decide to reallocate capital or to not commit capital as a result of their assessment of a company’s ESG practices. Companies which do not adapt to or comply with investor, lender or other industry shareholder expectations and standards, which are evolving, or which are perceived to have not responded appropriately to the growing concern for ESG issues, regardless of whether there is a legal requirement to do so, may suffer from reputational damage and the business, financial condition, and/or stock price of such a company could be materially and adversely affected.

We may face increasing pressures from investors, lenders and other market participants, who are increasingly focused on climate change, to prioritize sustainable energy practices, reduce our carbon footprint and promote sustainability. As a result, we may be required to implement more stringent ESG procedures or standards so that our existing and future investors and lenders remain invested in us and make further investments in us. If we do not meet these standards, our business and/or our ability to access capital could be harmed.

Additionally, certain investors and lenders may exclude companies, such as us, from their investing portfolios altogether due to environmental, social and governance factors. These limitations in both the debt and equity capital markets may affect our ability to grow as our plans for growth may include accessing the equity and debt capital markets. If those markets are unavailable, or if we are unable to access alternative means of financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be unable to implement our business strategy, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and impair our ability to service our then indebtedness. Further, it is likely that we will incur additional costs and require additional resources to monitor, report and comply with wide ranging ESG requirements. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board inspection of our independent accounting firm could lead to findings in our auditors’ reports and challenge the accuracy of our published audited consolidated financial statements.

Auditors of U.S. public companies are required by law to undergo periodic Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, inspections that assess their compliance with U.S. law and professional standards in connection with performance of audits of financial statements filed with the SEC. For several years certain European Union countries, including Greece, did not permit the PCAOB to conduct inspections of accounting firms established and operating in such European Union countries, even if they were part of major international firms. Accordingly, unlike for most U.S. public companies, the PCAOB was prevented from evaluating our auditor’s performance of audits and its quality control procedures, and, unlike stockholders of most U.S. public companies, we and our stockholders were deprived of the possible benefits of such inspections. Since 2015, Greece has agreed to allow the PCAOB to conduct inspections of accounting firms operating in Greece. In the future, such PCAOB inspections could result in findings in our auditors’ quality control procedures, question the validity of the auditor’s reports on our published consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and cast doubt upon the accuracy of our published audited financial statements.

23

Investment in derivative instruments such as forward freight agreements could result in losses.

From time to time, we may take positions in derivative instruments including forward freight agreements, or FFAs. FFAs and other derivative instruments may be used to hedge a vessel owner’s exposure to the charter market by providing for the sale of a contracted charter rate along a specified route and period of time. Upon settlement, if the contracted charter rate is less than the average of the rates, as reported by an identified index, for the specified route and period, the seller of the FFA is required to pay the buyer an amount equal to the difference between the contracted rate and the settlement rate, multiplied by the number of days in the specified period. Conversely, if the contracted rate is greater than the settlement rate, the buyer is required to pay the seller the settlement sum. If we take positions in FFAs or other derivative instruments and do not correctly anticipate charter rate movements over the specified route and time period, we could suffer losses in the settling or termination of the FFA. This could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.

We may have difficulty effectively managing any growth, which may adversely affect our earnings.

The growth of our fleet in the future may impose significant additional responsibilities on our management and staff. We expect to grow our fleet further in the future and this may require us to increase the number of our personnel. We may also have to increase our customer base to provide continued employment for the new vessels.

Any future growth will primarily depend on our ability to:

● locate and acquire suitable vessels;

● identify and consummate acquisitions or joint ventures;

● enhance our customer base;

● manage our expansion; and

● obtain required financing on acceptable terms.

Growing any business by acquisition presents numerous risks, such as undisclosed liabilities and obligations, the possibility that indemnification agreements will be unenforceable or insufficient to cover potential losses and difficulties associated with imposing common standards, controls, procedures and policies, obtaining additional qualified personnel, managing relationships with customers and integrating newly acquired assets and operations into existing infrastructure. We cannot give any assurance that we will be successful in executing any future growth plans or that we will not incur significant expenses and losses in connection with our future growth.

Purchasing and operating secondhand vessels may result in increased operating costs and reduced operating days, which may adversely affect our earnings.

While we have the right to inspect previously owned vessels prior to our purchase of them and we expect to inspect secondhand vessels that we acquire, such inspections do not provide us with the same knowledge about their condition that we would have if these vessels had been built for, and operated exclusively by, us. A secondhand vessel may have conditions or defects that we were not aware of when we bought the vessel, and which may require us to incur costly repairs to the vessel. These repairs may require us to put a vessel into drydock, which would reduce our operating days. Furthermore, we usually do not receive the benefit of warranties on secondhand vessels.

We are subject to certain risks with respect to our counterparties on contracts, and failure of such counterparties to meet their obligations could cause us to suffer losses or otherwise adversely affect our business.

We enter into, among other things, charter parties with our customers. Such agreements subject us to counterparty risks. The ability and willingness of each of our counterparties to perform its obligations under a contract with us will depend on a number of factors that are beyond our control and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the condition of the maritime

24

and offshore industries, the overall financial condition of the counterparty, charter rates received for specific types of vessels, and various expenses. Should a counterparty fail to honor its obligations under agreements with us, we could sustain significant losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, in depressed market conditions, our charterers may no longer need a vessel that is currently under charter or may be able to obtain a comparable vessel at lower rates. As a result, charterers may seek to renegotiate the terms of their existing charter agreements or avoid their obligations under those contracts. If our charterers fail to meet their obligations to us or attempt to renegotiate our charter agreements, it may be difficult to secure substitute employment for such vessels, and any new charter arrangements we secure may be at lower rates. As a result, we could sustain significant losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In the highly competitive international shipping industry, we may not be able to compete for charters with new entrants or established companies with greater resources, and as a result, we may be unable to employ our vessels profitably.

We employ our vessels in a highly competitive market that is capital intensive and highly fragmented. Competition arises primarily from other vessel owners, some of whom have substantially greater resources than we do. Competition for the transportation of dry bulk cargo by sea is intense and depends on price, location, size, age, condition and the acceptability of the vessel and its operators to the charterers. Due in part to the highly fragmented market, competitors with greater resources than us could enter the dry bulk shipping industry and operate larger fleets through consolidations or acquisitions and may be able to offer lower charter rates and higher quality vessels than we are able to offer. If we are unable to successfully compete with other dry bulk shipping companies, our results of operations may be adversely impacted.

We may be unable to retain and recruit qualified key executives, key employees or key consultants, may delay our development efforts or otherwise harm our business.

Our future development and prospects depend to a large degree on the experience, performance and continued service of our senior management team. Retention of these services or the identification of suitable replacements in case of future vacancies cannot be guaranteed. There can be no guarantee that the services of the current directors and senior management team will be retained, or that suitably skilled and qualified individuals can be identified and employed, which may adversely impact our ability to commercial and financial performance. The loss of the services of any of the directors or other members of the senior management team and the costs of recruiting replacements may have a material adverse effect on our commercial and financial performance as well. If we are unable to hire, train and retain such personnel in a timely manner, our operations could be delayed and our ability to grow our business will be impaired and the delay and inability may have a detrimental effect upon our performance.

We may be unable to attract and retain key management personnel and other employees in the shipping industry, which may negatively impact the effectiveness of our management and results of operations.

Our success depends to a significant extent upon the abilities and efforts of our management team, our ability to retain key members of our management team and to hire new members as may be necessary. The loss of any of these individuals could adversely affect our business prospects and financial condition. Difficulty in hiring and retaining replacement personnel could have a similar effect. We do not currently, nor do we intend to, maintain “key man” life insurance on any of our officers or other members of our management team.

Technological innovation and quality and efficiency requirements from our customers could reduce our charterhire income and the value of our vessels.

Our customers, have a high and increasing focus on quality and compliance standards with their suppliers across the entire supply chain, including the shipping and transportation segment. Our continued compliance with these standards and quality requirements is vital for our operations. The charterhire rates and the value and operational life of a vessel are determined by a number of factors including the vessel’s efficiency, operational flexibility and physical life. Efficiency includes speed, fuel economy and the ability to load and discharge cargo quickly. Flexibility includes the ability to enter harbors, utilize related docking facilities and pass through canals and straits. The length of a vessel’s physical life is related to its original design and construction, its maintenance and the impact of the stress of operations. If new vessels are built that are more efficient or more flexible or have longer physical lives than our vessels, competition from these more technologically advanced vessels could adversely affect the amount of charterhire payments

25

we receive for our vessels and the resale value of our vessels could significantly decrease. This could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and ability to pay dividends.

We may not have adequate insurance to compensate us if we lose our vessels or to compensate third parties.

We procure insurance for our fleet against risks commonly insured against by vessel owners and operators. Our current insurance includes hull and machinery insurance, war risks insurance and protection and indemnity insurance (which includes environmental damage and pollution insurance). We can give no assurance that we are adequately insured against all risks or that our insurers will pay a particular claim. Even if our insurance coverage is adequate to cover our losses, we may not be able to timely obtain a replacement vessel in the event of a loss. Furthermore, in the future, we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates for our fleet. We may also be subject to calls, or premiums, in amounts based not only on our own claim records but also the claim records of all other members of the protection and indemnity associations through which we receive indemnity insurance coverage for tort liability. Our insurance policies also contain deductibles, limitations and exclusions which, although we believe are standard in the shipping industry, may nevertheless increase our costs.

Our vessels may suffer damage and we may face unexpected drydocking costs, which could adversely affect our cash flow and financial condition.

If our vessels suffer damage, they may need to be repaired at a drydocking facility. The costs of drydock repairs are unpredictable and can be substantial. The loss of earnings while a vessel is being repaired and repositioned, as well as the actual cost of these repairs not covered by our insurance, would decrease our earnings and available cash. We may not have insurance that is sufficient to cover all or any of the costs or losses for damages to our vessels and may have to pay drydocking costs not covered by our insurance.

The aging of our fleet may result in increased operating costs in the future, which could adversely affect our earnings.

In general, the cost of maintaining a vessel in good operating condition increases with the age of the vessel. Currently, our fleet consists of four vessels in operation, having a combined carrying capacity of 496,374 dwt, and a weighted average age of 17.5 years as of September 28, 2022. As our fleet ages, we will incur increased costs. Older vessels are typically less fuel efficient and more costly to maintain than more recently constructed vessels due to improvements in engine technology. Cargo insurance rates increase with the age of a vessel, making older vessels less desirable to charterers. Governmental regulations and safety or other equipment standards related to the age of vessels may also require expenditures for alterations or the addition of new equipment to our vessels and may restrict the type of activities in which our vessels may engage. We cannot assure you that, as our vessels age, market conditions will justify those expenditures or enable us to operate our vessels profitably during the remainder of their useful lives.

We may be exposed to U.S. dollar and foreign currency fluctuations and devaluations that could harm our reported revenue and results of operations.

We generate all of our revenues in U.S. dollars and most of our expenses are in U.S. dollars. Although our expenses are not significantly affected by fluctuations in exchange rates, they may be affected in the future and this could affect the amount of net income that we report in future periods. While we historically have not mitigated the risk associated with exchange rate fluctuations through the use of financial derivatives, we may employ such instruments from time to time in the future in order to minimize any such risk. Our use of financial derivatives would involve certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedged position could exceed the nominal amount invested in the instrument and the risk that the counterparty to the derivative transaction may be unable or unwilling to satisfy its contractual obligations, which could have an adverse effect on our results.

Volatility of LIBOR and potential changes of the use of LIBOR as a benchmark could affect our profitability, earnings and cash flow.

The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is the subject of recent national, international and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. The publication of U.S. Dollar LIBOR for the one-week and two-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR tenors ceased on December 31, 2021, and the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), the administrator of LIBOR, with the support of the United States Federal Reserve and the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, announced the publication of all other U.S. Dollar LIBOR tenors will cease on June 30, 2023. The United States Federal Reserve concurrently issued a statement advising banks to cease

26

issuing U.S. Dollar LIBOR instruments after 2021. As such, any new loan agreements we enter into will not use LIBOR as an interest rate.

The consequences of these developments cannot be entirely predicted, but could include an increase in the cost of variable rate indebtedness and obligations. LIBOR has been volatile in the past, with the spread between LIBOR and the prime lending rate widening significantly at times. Because the interest rates fluctuate with changes in LIBOR, significant changes in LIBOR could have a material effect on the amount of interest payable on any debt we may have in the future, which in turn, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.

Furthermore, the calculation of interest in most financing agreements in our industry has been based on published LIBOR rates. Due in part to uncertainty relating to the LIBOR calculation process, in recent years, lenders have insisted on provisions that entitle the lenders, in their discretion, to replace published LIBOR as the base for the interest calculation with their cost-of-funds rate. If we are required to agree to such a provision in future financing agreements, our lending costs could increase significantly, which would have an adverse effect on our profitability, earnings and cash flow. In addition, the banks currently reporting information used to set LIBOR have stopped such reporting after 2021, when their commitment to reporting information ends. The Alternative Reference Rate Committee, a committee convened by the Federal Reserve that includes major market participants, has proposed an alternative rate to replace U.S. Dollar LIBOR: the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or “SOFR.” The impact of such a transition from LIBOR to SOFR could be significant for us.

In order to manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, we may use interest rate derivatives to effectively fix an amount of any floating rate debt obligations we may have in the future. No assurance can however be given that the use of these derivative instruments, if any, may effectively protect us from adverse interest rate movements. The use of interest rate derivatives may affect our results through mark to market valuation of these derivatives. Also, adverse movements in interest rate derivatives may require us to post cash as collateral, which may impact our free cash position. Interest rate derivatives may also be impacted by the transition from LIBOR to SOFR or other alternative rates.

We depend upon a few significant customers for a large part of our revenues and the loss of one or more of these customers could adversely affect our financial performance.

We derive a significant part of our revenues from a small number of charterers. If one or more of our charterers chooses not to charter our vessels or is unable to perform under one or more charters with us and we are not able to find a replacement charter, we could suffer a loss of revenues that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain that the reduced disclosure and other requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will not make our common shares less attractive to investors.

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our common shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common shares and our share price may be more volatile.

In addition, under the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) for so long as we are an emerging growth company.

For as long as we take advantage of the reduced reporting obligations, the information that we provide our shareholders may be different from information provided by other public companies.

We are a holding company, and we depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us in order to satisfy our financial obligations.

We are a holding company and our subsidiaries conduct all of our operations and own all of our operating assets. We have no significant assets other than the equity interests in our subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to satisfy our financial obligations depends

27

on our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. If we are unable to obtain funds from our subsidiaries, we may not be able to satisfy our financial obligations.

Because we are organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands, it may be difficult to serve us with legal process or enforce judgments against us, our directors or our management.

We are organized under the laws of the Marshall Islands, and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, the majority of our directors and officers are non-residents of the United States, and all or a substantial portion of the assets of these non-residents are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for someone to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the United States if they believe that their rights have been infringed under securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Marshall Islands and of other jurisdictions may prevent or restrict them from enforcing a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors or officers.

The international nature of our operations may make the outcome of any bankruptcy proceedings difficult to predict.

We are incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and we conduct operations in countries around the world. Consequently, in the event of any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding involving us or any of our subsidiaries, bankruptcy laws other than those of the United States could apply. If we become a debtor under U.S. bankruptcy law, bankruptcy courts in the United States may seek to assert jurisdiction over all of our assets, wherever located, including property situated in other countries. There can be no assurance, however, that we would become a debtor in the United States, or that a U.S. bankruptcy court would be entitled to, or accept, jurisdiction over such a bankruptcy case, or that courts in other countries that have jurisdiction over us and our operations would recognize a U.S. bankruptcy court’s jurisdiction if any other bankruptcy court would determine it had jurisdiction.

If we expand our business further, we may need to improve our operating and financial systems and will need to recruit suitable employees and crew for our vessels.

Our current operating and financial systems may not be adequate if we further expand the size of our fleet and our attempts to improve those systems may be ineffective. In addition, if we expand our fleet further, we will need to recruit suitable additional seafarers and management personnel. While we have not experienced any difficulty in recruiting to date, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to continue to hire suitable employees if we expand our fleet. If we or our crewing agents encounter business or financial difficulties, we may not be able to adequately staff our vessels. If we are unable to grow our financial and operating systems or to recruit suitable employees should we determine to expand our fleet, our financial performance may be adversely affected, among other things.

We may be subject to United States federal income tax on United States source income, which may reduce our earnings.

Under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, 50% of the gross shipping income of a vessel owning or chartering corporation, such as ourselves and our subsidiaries, that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the United States may be subject to a 4% United States federal income tax without allowance for deduction, unless that corporation qualifies for exemption from tax under Section 883 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

It is expected that the Company qualified for this statutory tax exemption for the prior taxable year and we will take this position for United States federal income tax return reporting purposes. However, there are factual circumstances beyond our control that could cause us to lose the benefit of this tax exemption in the current or future taxable year and thereby become subject to United States federal income tax on our United States source income. For example, if shareholders with a five percent or greater interest in the Company’s stock were, in the aggregate, to own 50% or more of our outstanding common shares on more than half the days during the taxable year, we may not be able to qualify for exemption under Section 883. Due to the factual nature of the issues involved, we can give no assurances on our tax-exempt status or that of any of our subsidiaries.

If the Company is not entitled to exemption under Section 883 for any taxable year, the Company, as applicable, could be subject for those years to an effective 2% United States federal income tax on the shipping income such company derives during the year that is attributable to the transport or cargoes to or from the United States. The imposition of this taxation might have a negative effect on

28

our business and would result in decreased earnings available for distribution to our shareholders. See the “Taxation” section of this prospectus for a more comprehensive discussion of U.S. federal income tax considerations.

United States tax authorities could treat the Company as a “passive foreign investment company,” which could have adverse United States federal income tax consequences to United States holders.

A foreign corporation will be treated as a “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income for any taxable year consists of certain types of “passive income” or (2) at least 50% of the average value of the corporation’s assets produce or are held for the production of those types of “passive income.” For purposes of these tests, “passive income” includes dividends, interest, and gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties other than rents and royalties which are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business. For purposes of these tests, income derived from the performance of services does not constitute “passive income.” United States shareholders of a PFIC are subject to a disadvantageous United States federal income tax regime with respect to the income derived by the PFIC, the distributions they receive from the PFIC and the gain, if any, they derive from the sale or other disposition of their shares in the PFIC. In addition, United States shareholders of a PFIC are required to file annual information returns with the United States Internal Revenue Service, or IRS.

Based on our method of operations, it is not expected that we will be a PFIC with respect to any taxable year. In this regard, it is expected that gross income derived or are deemed to have been derived from time chartering activities will be treated as services income, rather than rental income. Accordingly, it is expected that income from time chartering activities should not constitute “passive income,” and the assets that we own and operate in connection with the production of that income should not constitute passive assets.

There is substantial legal authority supporting this position consisting of case law and IRS pronouncements concerning the characterization of income derived from time charters and voyage charters as services income for other tax purposes. However, it should be noted that there is also authority which characterizes time charter income as rental income rather than services income for other tax purposes. Accordingly, in the absence of legal authority directly relating to PFIC rules, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court of law will accept this position, and there is a risk that the IRS or a court of law could determine that we are a PFIC. Moreover, no assurance can be given that we would not constitute a PFIC for any future taxable year if the nature and extent of our operations changed.

If the IRS were to find that we are or have been a PFIC for any taxable year, our United States shareholders will face adverse United States federal income tax consequences. Under the PFIC rules, unless those shareholders make an election available under the Code (which election could itself have adverse consequences for such shareholders, as discussed in the section of this registration statement entitled “Taxation — U.S. Holders”), such shareholders would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the then prevailing income tax rates on ordinary income plus interest upon excess distributions and upon any gain from the disposition of our common shares, as if the excess distribution or gain had been recognized ratably over the United States shareholder’s holding period of our common shares, as applicable.

Based on our current and expected composition and our respective subsidiaries’ assets and income, it is not anticipated that we will be treated as a PFIC. Actual PFIC status for any taxable year, however, will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. Accordingly, there can be no assurances regarding our status as a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. See the discussion in the section of this registration statement entitled “Taxation — U.S. Holders - Consequences of Owning Shares in a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC”.” U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules.

Our corporate governance practices are in compliance with, and are not prohibited by, the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and as such we are entitled to exemption from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards. As a result, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Our corporate governance practices are in compliance with, and are not prohibited by, the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Therefore, we are exempt from many of Nasdaq’s corporate governance practices other than the requirements regarding the disclosure of a going concern audit opinion, submission of a listing agreement, notification of material non-compliance with Nasdaq

29

corporate governance practices, and the establishment and composition of an audit committee and a formal written audit committee charter.

Risks Relating to our Common Stock

We cannot assure you that our board of directors will declare dividend payments in the future.

The declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will always be subject to the discretion of our board of directors. The timing and amount of any dividends declared will depend on, among other things, our earnings, financial condition and cash requirements and availability, our ability to obtain debt and equity financing on acceptable terms as contemplated by our growth strategy and provisions of Marshall Islands law affecting the payment of dividends. In addition, other external factors, such as our lenders imposing restrictions on our ability to pay dividends under the terms of future loan facilities we may enter into, may limit our ability to pay dividends.

Our growth strategy contemplates that we will finance the acquisition of additional vessels through a combination of debt and equity financing on terms acceptable to us. If financing is not available to us on acceptable terms, our board of directors may determine to finance or refinance acquisitions with cash from operations, which could also reduce or even eliminate the amount of cash available for the payment of dividends.

Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the payment of dividends other than from surplus (retained earnings and the excess of consideration received for the sale of shares above the par value of the shares) or while a company is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by the payment of such a dividend. We may not have sufficient surplus in the future to pay dividends. We can give no assurance that we will reinstate our dividends in the future or when such reinstatement might occur.

In addition, our ability to pay dividends to holders of our common shares will be subject to the rights of holders of our Series C Preferred Stock and our Series D Preferred Stock (and other preferred stock we have issued, or will issue in the future, with dividend rights), which in each case do or will rank prior to our common shares with respect to dividends, distributions and payments upon liquidation. No cash dividend may be paid on our common stock unless full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are being paid or provided for on all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock (and other preferred stock we have issued, or will issue in the future, with dividend rights) for all prior and the then-ending dividend periods. Cumulative dividends on our shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock will accrue at a rate of 8.0% and 7.0% per annum, respectively, per $1,000 stated liquidation preference per Series C and Series D Preferred Share and are payable in cash or, at our election, in kind, quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, or, if any such dividend payment date otherwise would fall on a date that is not a business day, the immediately succeeding business day.

If we do not have sufficient cash to pay dividends on our Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock when due, we may suffer adverse consequences.

Dividends to holders of our shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock will be paid in cash or, at our election, in kind. If we do not have sufficient cash to pay dividends to holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series D Preferred Stock or otherwise elect to pay dividends on our Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series D Preferred Stock in kind, in the form of additional shares, then such issuance of additional shares will result in additional dividend payment obligations of the Company going forward. In addition, a failure to pay dividends on our Series C Preferred Stock and/or Series D Preferred Stock when due will adversely affect our ability to utilize shelf registration statements to sell our securities, which may be an important fund-raising avenue for us in the future.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate widely in the future, and there is no guarantee that an active and liquid public market for you to resell our common stock in the future will continue.

The market price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market may be volatile due to factors such as:

● actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results and those of other public companies in our industry;

● mergers and strategic alliances in the dry bulk shipping industry;

30

● market conditions in the dry bulk shipping industry;

● changes in government regulation;

● shortfalls in our operating results from levels forecast by securities analysts

● announcements concerning us or our competitors; and

● the general state of the securities market.

The dry bulk shipping industry has been highly unpredictable and volatile. The market for common stock in this industry may be equally volatile. Therefore, we cannot assure you that you will be able to sell any of our common stock you may have purchased at a price greater than or equal to its original purchase price, or that you will be able to sell our common stock at all.

Since we are incorporated in the Marshall Islands, which does not have a well-developed body of corporate law, you may have more difficulty protecting your interests than shareholders of a U.S. corporation.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws and by the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act, or the BCA. The provisions of the BCA resemble provisions of the corporation laws of a number of states in the United States. However, there have been few judicial cases in the Marshall Islands interpreting the BCA. The rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under the laws of the Marshall Islands are not as clearly established as the rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in the United States. The rights of shareholders of the Marshall Islands may differ from the rights of shareholders of companies incorporated in the United States. While the BCA provides that it is to be interpreted according to the laws of the State of Delaware and other states with substantially similar legislative provisions, there have been few, if any, court cases interpreting the BCA in the Marshall Islands and we cannot predict whether Marshall Islands courts would reach the same conclusions as U.S. courts. Thus, you may have more difficulty in protecting your interests in the face of actions by the management, directors or controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction which has developed a relatively more substantial body of case law.

Diana Shipping, as the holder of certain of our preferred shares, will be able to exert considerable influence over matters on which our shareholders are entitled to vote.

In connection with the contribution of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors to us by Diana Shipping, we issued 500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Diana Shipping. These shares of Series B Preferred Stock vote with our common shares and each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to the right to cast a number of votes for all matters on which our shareholders are entitled to vote of up to 34% of the total number of votes entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of our common shareholders, subject to certain limitations that prevent Diana Shipping from exercising more than 49% of the aggregate voting authority derived from any voting security then held by Diana Shipping on any matter put to shareholders. Through its beneficial ownership of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Diana Shipping is able to establish a quorum at any shareholder meeting. In addition, Diana Shipping received 10,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock, which are convertible into common shares at Diana Shipping’s option commencing upon the first anniversary of the original issue date, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $6.50 and the 10-trading day trailing VWAP of our common shares, subject to certain adjustments. In addition, Diana Shipping received 25,000 shares of our newly established Series D Preferred Stock, which are convertible into common shares at Diana Shipping’s option at any time after the original issue date, at a conversion price equal to the 10-trading day trailing VWAP of our common shares, subject to certain adjustments. While Diana Shipping has no agreement, arrangement or understanding relating to the voting of its shares of Series B Preferred Stock, it is able to influence the outcome of matters on which our shareholders are entitled to vote, including the election of directors and other significant corporate actions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination. This concentration of ownership could also discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which could in turn have an adverse effect on the market price of our shares. So long as Diana Shipping continues to own a significant amount of our equity, even though the amount is less than 50% of our voting power, it will continue to be able to exercise considerable influence over our decisions. The interests of Diana Shipping may be different from your interests.

31

Future issuances or sales of our common stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Issuances or sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, may depress the market price for our common stock. These issuances and sales could also impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our equity securities in the future.

As of September 28, 2022, we have outstanding Class A warrants that may obligate us to issue up to an additional 14,474,000 common shares, in aggregate, upon the exercise of these warrants in full. In addition, we may issue additional securities in the future for any purpose and for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as we may determine appropriate or necessary, including in connection with equity awards, financings or other strategic transactions. In addition, our stockholders may elect to sell large numbers of shares held by them from time to time. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize us to issue up to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 29,829,092 shares are issued and outstanding as of September 28, 2022. The number of shares of common stock available for sale in the public market will be limited by restrictions applicable under securities laws.

Sales or issuances of a substantial number of any of the common shares mentioned above may cause the market price of our common shares to decline.

Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents could make it difficult for our shareholders to replace or remove our current board of directors or have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a merger or acquisition, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Several provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws could make it difficult for our shareholders to change the composition of our board of directors in any one year, preventing them from changing the composition of management. In addition, the same provisions may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that shareholders may consider favorable.

These provisions include:

● authorizing our board of directors to issue “blank check” preferred stock without shareholder approval;

● providing for a classified board of directors with staggered, three-year terms;

● prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors;

● authorizing the removal of directors only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote for the directors;

● prohibiting shareholder action by written consent;

● limiting the persons who may call special meetings of shareholders; and

● establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted on by shareholders at shareholder meetings.

In addition, we have adopted a Stockholders Rights Agreement, pursuant to which our board of directors may cause the substantial dilution of any person that attempts to acquire us without the approval of our board of directors.

These anti-takeover provisions, including provisions of our Stockholders Rights Agreement, could substantially impede the ability of public shareholders to benefit from a change in control and, as a result, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and your ability to realize any potential change of control premium.

Risks Relating to this Offering

Since we have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds from this offering, we may use the proceeds in ways with which you disagree.

Our management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, prospects, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

Our share price may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock has fluctuated in the past. Consequently, the current market price of our common stock may not be indicative of future market prices, and we may be unable to sustain or increase the value of an investment in our common stock.

We may not be able to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.

Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq. On March 8, 2022 we received written notification from Nasdaq that because the closing bid price of our common stock for 30 consecutive business days was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the applicable grace period to regain compliance was 180 days, or until September 5, 2022. On September 6, 2022, we were granted an additional 180-day period from the NASDAQ Stock Market, through March 6, 2023, to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock during this grace period and, if necessary, will take steps necessary to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. Our shareholders have approved, subject to implementation of our board of directors, a reverse stock split of our common shares that we believe will allow us to regain compliance with the Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements if our stock price does not exceed $1.00 for the minimum period of time prior to March 6, 2023. There are a number of other continued listing requirements that we must satisfy in order to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. If we fail to maintain compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements for Nasdaq and Nasdaq determines to delist our common stock, the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock, our ability to obtain financing to repay any debt and fund our operations.

The United States federal income taxation of the pre-funded warrants is uncertain.

We and holders of our pre-funded warrants may have to take positions that are not yet settled under current U.S. federal income tax law with respect to the pre-funded warrants. In particular, the precise application of the Code section 883 exemption and the PFIC rules to the pre-funded warrants is unclear. The IRS may disagree with the positions taken by the Company, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for us and our shareholders, including holders of the pre-funded warrants. Prospective investors are urged to consult their personal income tax advisers in this regard.

The Class B Warrants and pre-funded warrants are speculative in nature.

The Class B Warrants and pre-funded warrants offered hereby do not confer any rights of common share ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire common shares at a fixed price. Specifically, commencing on the date of issuance, holders of the pre-funded warrants may acquire the common shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants at an exercise price of $0.01 per common share and holders of the Class B Warrants may acquire the common shares issuable upon the exercise of such warrants at an exercise price of $0.3524 per common share. Moreover, following this offering, the market value of the Class B Warrants and pre-funded warrants is uncertain and there can be no assurance that the market value of the Class B Warrants and pre-funded warrants will equal or exceed their public offering price.

33

There is no public market for the Class B Warrants or pre-funded warrants being offered in this offering and we do not expect one to develop.

There is presently no established public trading market for the Class B Warrants or pre-funded warrants being offered in this offering and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Class B Warrants or pre-funded warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, including Nasdaq. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Class B Warrants and pre-funded warrants will be limited.

Purchasers of our Class B Warrants or pre-funded warrants will not have any rights of common shareholders until such Class B Warrants or pre-funded warrants are exercised.

The Class B Warrants and pre-funded warrants being offered do not confer any rights of common share ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire common shares at a fixed price.

This is a best efforts offering, no minimum amount of securities is required to be sold, and we may not raise the amount of capital we believe is required for our business plans.

The Placement Agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the securities being offered in this offering. The Placement Agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities. There is no required minimum number of securities or amount of proceeds that must be sold as a condition to completion of this offering. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering, the actual offering amount, Placement Agent fees and proceeds to us are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amounts set forth above. We may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell an amount of securities sufficient to fund for our operations as described in the “Use of Proceeds” section herein. Thus, we may not raise the amount of capital we believe is required for our operations in the short-term and may need to raise additional funds, which may not be available or available on terms acceptable to us.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Assuming we sell all Units offered pursuant to this prospectus, we estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of Units, consisting of shares of our common stock or pre-funded warrants and Class B Warrants by us in this offering will be approximately $22.85 million, based on an assumed offering price of $0.3524, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. However, because this is a best efforts offering and there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering, the actual offering amount, Placement Agent’s fees and net proceeds to us are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amounts set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

We expect to use the proceeds that we receive from this offering for general corporate purposes, including for the potential future acquisition of vessels. Accordingly, our management will have discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering.

DIVIDEND POLICY

The declaration and payment of dividends, if any, are subject to the discretion of our board of directors. Our board of directors will review and amend our dividend policy from time to time in light of our business plans and other factors.

Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the payment of dividends other than from surplus or when a company is insolvent or if the payment of the dividend would render the company insolvent.

We believe that, under current law, any dividends that we may pay in the future from earnings and profits constitute “qualified dividend income” and as such are generally subject to a 20% United States federal income tax rate with respect to non-corporate United States shareholders. Distributions in excess of our earnings and profits will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of a United States shareholder’s tax basis in its common stock on a dollar-for-dollar basis and thereafter as capital gain. Please see the section of this registration statement entitled “Taxation” for additional information relating to the tax treatment of our dividend payments.

Cumulative dividends shares of our Series C Preferred Stock and our Series D Preferred Stock are payable in cash or, at our election, in kind, quarterly on each January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, or, if any such dividend payment date otherwise would fall on a date that is not a business day, the immediately succeeding business day. The dividend rate on shares of our Series C Preferred Stock is 8.0% per annum per $1,000 of liquidation preference per share (equal to $80 per annum per share) and is not subject to adjustment. The dividend rate on shares of our Series D Preferred Stock is 7.0% per annum per $1,000 of liquidation preference per share (equal to $70 per annum per share) and is not subject to adjustment.

Marshall Islands law provides that we may pay dividends only to the extent that assets are legally available for such purposes. Legally available assets generally are limited to our surplus, which essentially represents our retained earnings and the excess of consideration received by us for the sale of shares above the par value of the shares. In addition, under Marshall Islands law we may not pay dividends if we are insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by the payment of such a dividend or the making of such redemption.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

Our common stock is presently quoted on Nasdaq, under the symbol “OP”. On September 28, 2022, the closing price of our common shares on Nasdaq was $0.3524.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of June 30, 2022:

● on an actual basis;

● on an as adjusted basis to give effect to: i) cash dividend of $0.01 per share of common stock outstanding and per share of common stock that each Class A warrant holder would be entitled to receive upon exercise of their Class A Warrants, declared on July 27, 2022 and paid on August 31, 2022, amounting to $0.44 million, ii) $0.24 million for a dividend on our Series C Preferred Stock declared on September 19, 2022, concerning the period from July 15, 2022 to October 14, 2022, payable on October 17, 2022, iii) the issuance on September 21, 2022 of 25,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock as partial consideration for the remaining purchase price of $17.6 million for the acquisition of the Capesize m/v Baltimore (the accounting treatment of which has not been finalized as of the date hereof), and iv) $0.12 million for a dividend on our Series D Preferred Stock declared on September 27, 2022, concerning the period from September 21, 2022 (i.e. issuance date) to October 14, 2022, payable on October 17, 2022, and;

● on an as further adjusted basis to give effect to the anticipated issuance and sale by us of units comprising of up to 70,942,111 shares of common stock or pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock, and up to 70,942,111 Class B Warrants to purchase common stock in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $0.3524 per unit, in exchange for gross proceeds of $25 million, or net proceeds of $22.85 million after deducting an amount of $2.15 million concerning placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. The final public offering price will be determined through negotiation between us, the Placement Agent and the purchasers in the offering and may be at a discount to the current market price. Therefore, the assumed public offering price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price.

This table should be read in conjunction with information contained in “Use of Proceeds” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this prospectus, in addition to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes for the period from inception (April 15,2021) through December 31, 2021 which are included in this registration statement and to the Company’s unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021 which are included in this registration statement, and other information provided in this registration statement.

The capitalization as adjusted and as further adjusted does not depict the recognition of compensation cost on the 1,982 shares of Series C Preferred Stock awarded to executive management and non-executive directors, for the period from July 1, 2022 to the date of this prospectus.

38

The capitalization as adjusted and as further adjusted assumes reduction in additional paid-in capital for dividends declared as described in second bullet above, since Company’s retained earnings as at June 30, 2022 amounted to nil.

The capitalization as further adjusted does not assume proceeds from the exercise of the Class B warrants issued in this offering. Furthermore, the accounting treatment of Class B warrants has not been finalized as of the date hereof.

The capitalization assumes no sale of pre-funded warrants in this offering, which, if sold, would reduce the number of common stock that we are offering on a one-for-one basis.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock or pre-funded warrants and Class B Warrants in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per common stock in this offering and our proforma net book value per common share immediately after this offering.

On June 30, 2022, our equity was $60.92 million and the book value per share of common stock was $2.04. Our book value per common stock represents our total book value (total equity) divided by the total number of our outstanding shares.

After giving effect to the issuance and sale of common stock in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $0.3524 per share, after deducting estimated placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net book value as of June 30, 2022 would have been approximately $83.77 million, or $0.83 per common share. This represents an immediate decrease in pro forma net book value of $1.21 per share to our existing shareholders and an immediate increase of $0.48 per share to new investors purchasing shares of common stock in this offering.*

The assumed offering price per share of common stock underlying the Units and Class B Warrants is $0.3524 which is less than our pro forma net book value per common stock on June 30, 2022 of $0.83, hence our new investors will not be diluted. The final public offering price will be determined through negotiation between us, the Placement Agent and purchasers in the offering and may be at a discount to the current market price. Therefore, the assumed public offering price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price.

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

In U.S. dollars, except percentages
Assumed offering price per common stock	$	0.3524
Book value per common stock as of June 30, 2022	$	2.04
Dilution to existing shareholders(1)	$	1,6876
% Dilution to existing shareholders(1)		83	%
Pro forma net book value per common stock after this offering	$	0.83
Decrease in book value per common stock after this offering(2)	$	1.21
Percentage of decrease in book value per common stock after this offering(2)		59.25	%
Dilution for new investors after the offering(3)		—
Percentage of dilution for new investors after the offering(3)		—

(1) Dilution to existing shareholders is computed as the difference between the offering price per share and the net book value per common stock, as of the latest balance sheet date. The percentage of dilution for existing shareholders is computed by dividing the dilution to existing shareholders by the book value per common stock as of the latest balance sheet date.

(2) Decrease in book value per common stock after this offering is computed as the difference between the net book value per common stock, as of the latest balance sheet date and pro forma net book value per common stock after this offering. Percentage of decrease in book value per common stock after this offering is calculated by dividing the difference between the net book value per common stock, as of the latest balance sheet date and pro forma net book value per common stock after this offering, by the net book value per common stock, as of the latest balance sheet date

39

(3) Dilution in book value per share for new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of our common stock, in this offering, and the pro forma net book value per common stock after this offering.

* Amounts do not include the adjustments described in the second bullet of the section entitled “Capitalization”. Furthermore, amounts do not include exercise of Class B warrants in this offering and no sale of pre-funded warrants in this offering, which, if sold, would reduce the number of common stock that we are offering on a one-for-one basis.

The percentage of dilution for new investors after the offering is calculated by dividing the percentage of dilution for new investors after the offering by the offering price per common stock.

Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial offering price of $0.3524 per share would increase (decrease) total consideration paid by new investors and average price per share paid by new investors by $65,621, and $0.92 per share, respectively, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Each increase (decrease) of 1.0 million shares in the number of shares sold in this offering, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) total consideration paid by new investors and average price per share paid by new investors by $0.33 million, and $0.01 per share, respectively, assuming the assumed public offering price remains the same, and after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The information above reflects and assumes (i) no sale of pre-funded warrants in this offering, which, if sold, would reduce the number of common stock that we are offering on a one-for-one basis, and (ii) no exercise of the Class B Warrants issued in this offering.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with i) our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 and for the period from April 15, 2021 through June 30,2021 and their notes included elsewhere in this prospectus, ii) our consolidated financial statements for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021 and their notes included elsewhere in this prospectus, iii) the unaudited interim combined carve-out financial statements of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and their notes included elsewhere in this prospectus, iv) the audited combined carve-out financial statements of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors for the period from January 1, 2021 through November 29, 2021 and for the years ended December 31,2020 and 2019 and their notes included elsewhere in this prospectus, as well as the unaudited proforma condensed combined statement of comprehensive income/(loss) for the year ended December 31, 2021 reflecting the Spin-Off as if it had occurred at the beginning of 2021, included as Exhibit 99.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Our comparative unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been presented for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021. They include only the accounts of OceanPal Inc. from inception date April 15, 2021 through June 30, 2021, as the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries have been consolidated from November 30, 2021 (i.e. upon the Spin-Off consummation and the acquisition of the three ship-owning subsidiaries by us) when the operation our vessels started. Operations prior to the November 30, 2021 consisted principally of organizational expenses. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, such as those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Lack of Historical Operating Data for Vessels before Their Acquisition

Vessels are generally acquired free of charter. Where a vessel has been under a voyage charter, the vessel is usually delivered to the buyer free of charter. It is rare in the shipping industry for the last charterer of the vessel in the hands of the seller to continue as the first charterer of the vessel in the hands of the buyer. In most cases, when a vessel is under time charter and the buyer wishes to assume that charter, the vessel cannot be acquired without the charterer’s consent and the buyer entering into a separate direct agreement (called a “novation agreement”) with the charterer to assume the charter. The purchase of a vessel itself does not transfer the charter because it is a separate service agreement between the vessel owner and the charterer.

Where we identify any intangible assets or liabilities associated with the acquisition of a vessel, we record all identified assets or liabilities at fair value. Fair value is determined by reference to market data. We value any asset or liability arising from the market value of the time charters assumed when a vessel is acquired. The amount to be recorded as an asset or liability at the date of vessel delivery is based on the difference between the current fair market value of the charter and the net present value of future contractual cash flows. When the present value of the time charter assumed is greater than the current fair market value of such charter, the difference is recorded as prepaid charter revenue. When the opposite situation occurs, any difference, capped to the vessel’s fair value on a charter-free basis, is recorded as deferred revenue. Such assets and liabilities, respectively, are amortized as a reduction of, or an increase in, revenue over the period of the time charter assumed.

To the extent that we purchase a vessel and assume or renegotiate a related time charter, among others, we will be required to take the following steps before the vessel will be ready to commence operations:

● obtain the charterer’s consent to us as the new owner;

● obtain the charterer’s consent to a new technical manager;

● in some cases, obtain the charterer’s consent to a new flag for the vessel;

● arrange for a new crew for the vessel, and where the vessel is on charter, in some cases, the crew must be approved by the charterer;

● replace all hired equipment on board, such as gas cylinders and communication equipment;

● negotiate and enter into new insurance contracts for the vessel through our own insurance brokers;

41

● register the vessel under a flag state and perform the related inspections in order to obtain new trading certificates from the flag state;

● implement a new planned maintenance program for the vessel; and

● ensure that the new technical manager obtains new certificates for compliance with the safety and vessel security regulations of the flag state.

When we charter a vessel pursuant to a long-term time charter agreement with varying rates, we recognize revenue on a straight line basis, equal to the average revenue during the term of the charter.

The following discussion is intended to help you understand how acquisitions of vessels affect our business and results of operations.

Our business is mainly comprised of the following elements:

● employment and operation of our vessels; and

● management of the financial, general and administrative elements involved in the conduct of our business and ownership of our vessels.

The employment and operation of our vessels mainly require the following components:

● vessel maintenance and repair;

● crew selection and training;

● vessel spares and stores supply;

● contingency response planning;

● onboard safety procedures auditing;

● accounting;

● vessel insurance arrangement;

● vessel chartering;

● vessel security training and security response plans (ISPS);

● obtaining of ISM certification and audit for each vessel within the six months of taking over a vessel;

● vessel hiring management;

● vessel surveying; and

● vessel performance monitoring.

42

The management of financial, general and administrative elements involved in the conduct of our business and ownership of our vessels mainly requires the following components:

● management of our financial resources, including banking relationships, i.e., administration of bank loans that we may enter into in the future and bank accounts;

● management of our accounting system and records and financial reporting;

● administration of the legal and regulatory requirements affecting our business and assets; and

● management of the relationships with our service providers and customers.

The principal factors that affect our profitability, cash flows and shareholders’ return on investment include:

● rates and periods of charter hire;

● levels of vessel operating expenses;

● depreciation expenses;

● financing costs; and

● fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

Operating results

We charter our vessels to customers pursuant to short- to medium-term time charters, although we may also charter our vessels in the spot market and on longer-term time charters.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Time Charter Revenues

Under our time charters, the charterer typically pays us a fixed daily charter hire rate and bears all voyage expenses, including the cost of bunkers (fuel oil) and port and canal charges. However, our voyage results may be affected by differences in bunker prices. Our revenues are driven primarily by the number of vessels in our fleet, the number of days during which our vessels operate and the amount of daily charter hire rates that our vessels earn under charters, which, in turn, are affected by a number of factors, including:

● the duration of our charters;

● our decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals;

● the amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels;

● the amount of time that our vessels spend in drydock undergoing repairs;

● maintenance and upgrade work;

● the age, condition and specifications of our vessels;

● levels of supply and demand in the dry bulk shipping industry; and

43

● other factors affecting spot market charter rates for dry bulk carriers.

Vessels operating on time charters for a certain period of time provide more predictable cash flows over that period of time, but can yield lower profit margins than vessels operating in the spot charter market during periods characterized by favorable market conditions. Vessels operating in the spot charter market generate revenues that are less predictable but may enable their owners to capture increased profit margins during periods of improvements in charter rates although their owners would be exposed to the risk of declining charter rates, which may have a materially adverse impact on financial performance. As we employ vessels on period charters, future spot charter rates may be higher or lower than the rates at which we have employed our vessels on period charters. Our time charter agreements subject us to counterparty risk. In depressed market conditions, charterers may seek to renegotiate the terms of their existing charter parties or avoid their obligations under those contracts. Should a counterparty fail to honor their obligations under agreements with us, we could sustain significant losses which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For 2022, we expect our revenues to increase compared to the period from commencement of operations (November 30, 2021) to December 31, 2021 due to increase in vessel operating days, and fleet expansion.

Voyage Expenses

We incur voyage expenses that mainly include commissions because all of our vessels are employed under time charters that require the charterer to bear voyage expenses such as bunkers (fuel oil), port and canal charges. Although the charterer bears the cost of bunkers, our voyage results may be affected by differences in bunker prices, and we may record a gain or a loss deriving from such price differences. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are purchased by the charterer and sold back to us on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss, result when a vessel is redelivered by her charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different bunker prices, or quantities. We also pay commissions to one or more unaffiliated ship brokers, to in-house brokers associated with the charterer for the arrangement of the relevant charter. We currently pay commissions of 5.00% of the total daily charter hire rate of each charter to unaffiliated ship brokers, in-house brokers associated with the charterers, depending on the number of brokers involved with arranging the charter. In addition, we pay commissions to DWM and Steamship for the provision of management and brokerage services. For 2022, we expect our voyage expenses to follow the same trend as our revenues, depending also on the gain or loss from bunkers.

Vessel Operating Expenses

We remain responsible for paying the vessels’ operating expenses, including the cost of crewing, insuring, repairing and maintaining the vessel, the costs of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes, environmental and safety expenses. Our vessel operating expenses are expensed as incurred. Our vessel operating expenses generally represent fixed costs. For 2022, we expect our operating expenses to increase compared to the period from commencement of operations (November 30, 2021) to December 31, 2021 due to increase in vessel ownership days and fleet expansion.

Vessel Depreciation

The cost of our vessels is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each vessel. Depreciation is based on the cost of the vessel less its estimated salvage value. We estimate the useful life of our dry bulk vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard, which we believe is common in the dry bulk shipping industry. Furthermore, we estimate the salvage values of our vessels based on historical average prices of the cost of the light-weight ton of vessels being scrapped. For 2022, we expect vessel depreciation expense to increase compared to the period from commencement of operations (November 30, 2021) to December 31, 2021.

General and Administrative Expenses

With regard to OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ general and administrative expenses consist of allocations made to OceanPal Inc. Predecessors by Diana Shipping for certain corporate functions and shared services. Amounts recognized by OceanPal Inc. Predecessors are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had the Company operated independently of Diana Shipping.

44

We incur general and administrative expenses which may include compensation of our executive officers, directors and consultants, compensation cost of restricted stock awarded to senior management and non-executive directors, traveling, promotional and other expenses of a listed public company, such as legal and professional expenses and other general expenses. These expenses are relatively fixed and are not widely affected by the size of the fleet. For 2022, we expect our general and administrative expenses to increase.

Six month period ended June 30, 2022 (the “2022 Company Period”), compared to period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021 (the “2021 Company Period”)

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the 2022 Company Period amounted to $1.22 million and mainly consist of brokerage services’ fees, legal fees, compensation cost of restricted stock awarded to senior management and non-executive directors, board and audit fees. General and administrative expenses for the 2021 Company Period of $1, represent organizational expenses.

2022 Company Period compared to six month period ended June 30, 2021 (the “2021 Predecessor Period”)

Time Charter Revenues. Time charter revenues increased by $2.18 million during the 2022 Company Period compared to the 2021 Predecessor Period, mainly due to increase in average time charter rates.

Voyage Expenses. Voyage expenses increased by $0.5 million, during the 2022 Company Period compared to the 2021 Predecessor Period, mainly due to increase by $0.3 million in commissions as a result of increased time charter revenues and $0.2 million decrease in gain from bunkers.

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses decreased by $0.47 million during the 2022 Company Period compared to the 2021 Predecessor Period. The overall decrease in vessel operating expenses was attributable to the decrease of the daily operating expenses of our vessels as the ownership days of our fleet remained stable, mainly due to decreased crew expenses and expenses for spares and repairs, partly offset by increased expenses for stores and insurances.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.83 million during the 2022 Company Period, compared to the 2021 Predecessor Period mainly due to increase in depreciation expense due to the fact that the three vessels contributed to the Company were stated at fair value upon the spin-off consummation, partially off-set by amortization of deferred cost recorded relating to dry-dockings of vessels Calipso and Salt Lake City in the 2021 Predecessor Period compared to no amortization expense in the 2022 Company Period, as none of the vessels completed a dry-docking survey.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.66 million during the 2022 Company Period compared to the 2021 Predecessor Period, such increase mainly attributed to additional expenses incurred by the Company since its listing. General and administrative expenses for the 2022 Company Period amounted to $1.22 million and mainly consist of brokerage services’ fees, legal fees, compensation cost of restricted stock awarded to senior management and non-executive directors, board and audit fees. General and administrative expenses for the 2021 Predecessor Period amounted to $0.56 million and represent the allocation of the expenses incurred by Diana Shipping based on the number of ownership days of the fleet vessels.

Management Fees To Related Parties. Management fees to related parties increased by $0.03 million during the 2022 Company Period compared to the 2021 Predecessor Period. Management fees paid at each period were in accordance with the terms of the management agreements then in place.

Period from January 1, 2021 through November 29, 2021 (2021 Predecessor Period) and Period from November 30, 2021 through December 31, 2021 (2021 Company Period) compared to year ended December 31, 2020 (2020 Predecessor Year)

Time Charter Revenues. Time charter revenues increased by $3.26 million during 2021 Predecessor Period and 2021 Company Period compared to 2020 Predecessor Year, mainly due to increase in average time charter rates.

Voyage Expenses.  Voyage expenses decreased by $0.51 million, during 2021 Predecessor Period and 2021 Company Period compared to 2020 Predecessor Year, mainly due to gain from bunkers, offset by increase in brokerage commissions as a result of time charter revenues increase, for 2021 Predecessor Period.

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses decreased by $1.94 million during 2021 Predecessor Period and 2021 Company Period compared to 2020 Predecessor Year, mainly due to increased expenses for repairs and maintenance and due to an incident of one of the vessels in 2020.

Depreciation and amortization of deferred charges.  Depreciation increased by $0.39 million during the 2021 Predecessor Period and 2021 Company Period compared to 2020 Predecessor Year, mainly due to increased amortization of deferred cost relating to dry-dockings of the vessels.

General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased by $0.19 million during 2021 Predecessor Period and 2021 Company Period compared to 2020 Predecessor Year, mainly due to increased costs for the Spin-Off transaction.

Management Fees To Related Parties.  Management fees to related parties decreased by $0.01 million during 2021 Predecessor Period and 2021 Company Period compared to 2020 Predecessor Year, mainly due to decrease in ownership days.

Year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019

Time charter revenues. Time charter revenues decreased by $3.0 million, or 24%, to $9.4 million in 2020, compared to $12.4 million in 2019. The decrease was mainly due to decreased revenues resulting from the decrease in average time charter rates and increase in off hire days. In 2020, we had total operating days of 971 and fleet utilization of 94.8%, compared to 1,013 total operating days and a fleet utilization of 92.5% in 2019. Additionally, there was a 17% decrease in time charter rates from $9,883 in 2019 to $8,235 in 2020.

Voyage expenses. Voyage expenses amounted to $1.0 million in 2020 compared to $1.5 million in 2019. Commissions, which is the main part of voyage expenses decreased in 2020 to $0.6 million compared to $0.7 million in 2019 due to the decrease in revenues. Voyage expenses decreased even further in 2020 compared to 2019, because in 2019 Calipso had an additional loss from bunkers amounting to $0.6 million resulting from a claim.

Vessel operating expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased by $2.9 million, or 52%, to $8.5 million in 2020 compared to $5.6 million in 2019. The increase in operating expenses is mainly due to increases in all operating expenses, but mainly due to expenses relating to an incident of one of the vessels and vessel annual taxes. Daily operating expenses were $7,739 in 2020 compared to $5,098 in 2019, representing a 52% increase.

Depreciation and amortization of deferred charges. Depreciation and amortization of deferred charges decreased by $0.3 million, or 12%, to $2.2 million in 2020, compared to $2.5 million in 2019. This decrease was due to the impairment loss of the Calipso in 2019, as the vessel’s value decreased to its fair value (sale price) less cost to sell as a result of being held for sale. Additionally, the amortization of deferred cost relating to dry-dockings decreased in 2020 to $0.1 million compared to $0.2 million in 2019.

General and administrative expenses. General and Administrative Expenses increased by $0.5 million, or 63%, to $1.3 million in 2020 compared to $0.8 million in 2019 and represent the allocation of the expenses incurred by Diana Shipping based on the number of ownership days of the fleet vessels.

Management fees to related party. Management fees to a related party amounted to $0.8 million in 2020 compared to $0.7 million in 2019. The increase is attributable the change of the manager from DWM to DSS in October 2019 and the increased fees under the new management agreements.

47

Vessel Impairment charges and Vessel fair value adjustment. In 2019, an impairment loss amounting to $3.0 million was recorded due to the agreement to sell the Calipso which as of December 31, 2019 was recorded as held for sale and its value decreased to its fair value (sale price) less cost to sell. In March 2020, following the failure to complete the sale of the vessel, the vessel’s withdrawal from the market was decided and the vessel was recorded as held for use at its fair value at that date which resulted to a gain of $0.2 million.

Other loss/(income): Other loss of $0.4 million in 2019 compared to other income of $0.24 million in 2020 related to resulting gains or losses from conversion of transactions in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

Pro Forma Financial Information

Unaudited pro forma financial information of the Company that summarizes the consolidated results of operations of the Company as though the Spin-Off from Diana Shipping originally consummated on November 29, 2021 had been consummated on January 1, 2021 is included as Exhibit 99.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The unaudited pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only and does not necessarily represent results that would have occurred if the transaction had taken place on the basis assumed.

Inflation

High inflation in many of the global economies where we operate is beginning to impact vessel operating costs, including crew travel, transportation of equipment and spares, and drydocking costs. Other inflated cost changes may make our vessel daily operating costs higher over the near and medium future. Increases in the cost of fuel consumed on voyages are usually absorbed by cargo market rates passed on to customers or covered by fuel cost pass throughs under the terms of time charter contracts.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We had less than $1.07 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, which means that we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage or specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

● exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal controls over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley;

● exemption from new or revised financial accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards are also applicable to private companies; and

● exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and financial statements.

We may take advantage of these provisions until the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date we first sell our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will cease to be an emerging growth company if, among other things, we have more than $1.07 billion in “total annual gross revenues” during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may choose to take advantage of some, but not all, of these reduced burdens. For as long as we take advantage of the reduced reporting obligations, the information that we provide shareholders may be different from information provided by other public companies. We are choosing to “opt out” of the extended transition period relating to the exemption from new or revised financial accounting standards and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth public companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021, we did not have any contractual obligations other than those related to our Series C Preferred Stock and the acquisition of the Capesize M/V Baltimore which was delivered to the Company on September 20, 2022, as applicable. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any contracted capital expenditures for vessel acquisitions or debt and we incur capital expenditures when our vessels undergo surveys and for vessel improvements to meet new regulations and comply with international and regulatory standards. We will require capital to fund ongoing operations, vessel improvements to meet requirements under new regulations and the payment of our preferred dividends. We intend to finance our future growth with future debt and equity offerings as deemed appropriate by our management and board of directors.

As at June 30, 2022 and as at December 31, 2021, working capital, which is current assets minus current liabilities, amounted to $11.63 million and $2.27 million, respectively. For 2022 and for the first nine months of 2023, we believe that anticipated revenues will result in internally generated cash flows together with proceeds from the January 2022 Offering.

Cash Flow OceanPal Inc.

Cash and cash equivalents as at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $10.99 million and $1.67 million, respectively.

Cash and cash equivalents are held in U.S. dollars.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities of the Company in the six month period ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $2.37 million representing a decrease by $0.97 million compared to the 2021 Predecessor Period. The decrease of net cash provided by operating activities was mainly attributable to increase in the working capital outflow, partially counterbalanced by increased revenues, as a result of increased average time charter rates.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the period from inception date (April 15, 2021) to December 31, 2021 amounted to $0.7 million.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the six month period ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $4.78 million and represent payment of 20% of the purchase price of M/V Baltimore in accordance with the MoA terms (i.e. $4.4 million) and $0.38 million paid regarding vessel improvements.

Net cash used in investing activities in the period from inception date (April 15, 2021) to December 31, 2021 was $0.04 million and represent amounts paid for improvement costs of M/V Salt Lake City.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities in the six month period ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $11.72 million and comprise from proceeds of $14.68 million from the issuance of units (comprising of common or prefunded warrants and Class A warrants), common stock and warrants, and the exercise of warrants, net of underwriters’ fees and commissions under the underwritten public offering completed in January 2022 less $2.96 million of dividends paid to common, Class A warrants and Series C preferred holders during the same period.

Net cash provided by financing activities in the period from inception date (April 15, 2021) to December 31, 2021 was $1.0 million and represents the contribution of working capital by Diana Shipping to us pursuant to the Spin-Off.

liquid investments such as time deposits and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of around three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are held in U.S. dollars.

Net Cash provided by /used in Operating Activities

Net cash from operating activities decreased by $4.2 million to $2.7 million net cash used in operating activities in 2020 compared to $1.4 million net cash provided by operating activities in 2019. This decrease was attributable to decreased revenues, increased dry-docking costs and increased operating expenses.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the period from January 1, 2021 to November 29, 2021 amounted to $3.18 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 amounted to $3.3 million.

Net Cash used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.5 million for 2020 and related to vessel improvements due to new regulations. There was no cash from investing activities in 2019.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.02 million for the period from January 1, 2021 to November 29, 2021 and also related to vessel improvements due to new regulations.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.03 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 and relates to vessel improvements due to new regulations.

Net Cash provided by / used in Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.2 million for 2020 and related to additional investment by the Parent and Net cash used in financing activities was $1.5 million for 2019 and relates to distributions to Parent.

Net cash used in financing activities was $3.2 million for the period from January 1, 2021 to November 29, 2021 and relates to amounts distributed to the Parent.

Net cash used in financing activities was $3.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 and relates to amounts distributed to Diana Shipping.

As part of Diana Shipping, OceanPal Inc. Predecessors were dependent upon Diana Shipping for all of its working capital and financing requirements, as Diana Shipping used a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. Financial transactions relating to OceanPal Inc. Predecessors were accounted for through Diana Shipping equity account. Accordingly, none of Diana Shipping’s cash, cash equivalents or debt at the corporate level were assigned to the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors in the combined carve-out financial statements.

C. Research and development, patents and licenses

We incur from time to time expenditures relating to inspections for acquiring new vessels that meet our standards. Such expenditures are insignificant and they are expensed as they incur.

D. Trend information

Our results of operations depend primarily on the charter hire rates that we are able to realize, and the demand for dry bulk vessel services. The Baltic Dry Index, or the BDI, has long been viewed as the main benchmark to monitor the movements of the dry bulk vessel charter market and the performance of the entire dry bulk shipping market. In 2020, the BDI ranged from a low of 393 in May to a high of 2,097 in October, increased to a high of 5,650 on October 7, 2021 and dropped to 2,217 on December 24, 2021. The BDI further dropped to 1,296 on January 26, 2022, increased to a high of 3,369 on May 23, 2022, further dropped to 965 on August 31, 2022 and as of September 28, 2022 was 1,799.

50

The decline and volatility in charter rates in the dry bulk market reflects in part the fact that the supply of dry bulk vessels in the market has been increasing, and the number of newbuilding dry bulk vessels on order is high. Demand for dry bulk vessel services is influenced by global financial conditions. Global financial markets and economic conditions have been, and continue to be, volatile. Beginning in February 2020, due in part to fears associated with the spread of COVID-19, global financial markets, and starting in late February, financial markets in the U.S., experienced even greater relative volatility and a steep and abrupt downturn, which volatility and downturn may continue as COVID-19 continues to spread. Credit markets and the debt and equity capital markets have been distressed and the uncertainty surrounding the future of the global credit markets has resulted in reduced access to credit worldwide, particularly for the shipping industry. These issues, along with significant write-offs in the financial services sector, the repricing of credit risk and the current weak economic conditions, have made it difficult to obtain financing.

We believe that the important measures for analyzing trends in our results of operations consist of the following:

(1) 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 days each vessel was a part of our fleet during the period divided by the number of calendar days in the period.

51

(2) Ownership days are the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet has been owned by us. Ownership days are an indicator of the size of our fleet over a period and affect both the amount of revenues and the amount of expenses that we record during a period.

(3) Available days are the number of our ownership days less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and the aggregate amount of time that we spend positioning our vessels for such events. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.

(4) Operating days are the number of available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.

(5) We calculate fleet utilization by dividing the number of our operating days during a period by the number of our available days during the period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys or vessel positioning for such events.

(6) Time charter equivalent rates, or TCE rates, are defined as our time charter revenues less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of our available days during the period, which is consistent with industry standards. Voyage expenses include port charges, bunker (fuel) expenses, canal charges and commissions. TCE rate is a non-GAAP measure, and management believes it is useful to investors because it is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage charters, because charter hire rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per day amounts while charter hire rates for vessels on time charters are generally expressed in such amounts. The following table reflects the calculation of our TCE rates for the periods presented.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of those financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments of uncertainties and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We have described below what we believe are our most critical accounting policies, because they generally involve a comparatively higher degree of judgment in their application. For a description of all significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the period from our inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021, Note 2 to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months period ended June 30, 2022 and for the period from inception (April 15,2021) through June 30, 2021, Note 2 to the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ audited carve-out combined financial statements for the period from January 1, 2021 through November 29,2021 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and Note 2 to the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ unaudited interim carve-out combined financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, included in this prospectus.

Accounting for Revenues and Expenses

Revenues are generated from time charter agreements which contain a lease as they meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842. Agreements with the same charterer are accounted for as separate agreements according to their specific terms and conditions. All agreements contain a minimum non-cancellable period and an extension period at the option of the charterer. Each lease term is assessed at the inception of that lease. Under a time charter agreement, the charterer pays a daily hire for the use of the vessel and reimburses the owner for hold cleanings, extra insurance premiums for navigating in restricted areas and damages caused by the charterers. Additionally, the charterer pays to third parties port, canal and bunkers consumed during the term of the time charter agreement. Such costs are considered direct costs and are not recorded as they are directly paid by charterers, unless they are for the account of the owner, in which case they are included in voyage expenses. Additionally, the owner pays commissions on the hire revenue, to both the charterer and to brokers, which are direct costs and are recorded in voyage expenses. Under a time charter agreement, the owner pays for the operation and the maintenance of the vessel, including crew, insurance, spares and repairs, which are recognized in operating expenses. The Company, as lessor, has elected not to allocate the consideration in the agreement to the separate lease and non-lease components (operation and maintenance of the vessel) as their timing and pattern of transfer to the charterer, as the lessee, are the same and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, the lease component is considered the predominant component as the Company has assessed that more value is ascribed to the vessel rather than to the services provided under the time charter contracts.

Voyage expenses, primarily consisting of commissions, are expensed over the related voyage charter period to the extent revenue has been recognized since commissions are due as the Company’s revenues are earned. All vessel operating expenses are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, potential sales and other business plans) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When the estimate of undiscounted projected net operating cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of an asset over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment loss. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, determined mainly by third party valuations.

The Company calculates undiscounted projected net operating cash flows by considering the historical and estimated vessels’ performance and utilization with the significant assumption being future charter rates for the unfixed days, using the most recent 10 year average of historical 1 year time charter rates available for each type of vessel over the remaining estimated life of each vessel, net of commissions. Other assumptions used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flow are charter rates calculated for the fixed days using the fixed charter rate of each vessel from existing time charters; the expected outflows for scheduled vessels’ maintenance; vessel operating expenses; fleet utilization, and the vessels’ residual value if sold for scrap. Assumptions are in line with the Company’s expectations for future fleet utilization under its current fleet deployment strategy. This calculation is then compared with the vessels’ net book value plus unamortized dry-docking costs, if any. The difference between the carrying amount of the vessel plus unamortized dry-docking costs, if any and their fair value is recognized in the Company’s accounts as impairment loss. The Company recognized no impairment loss for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors recognized no impairment loss for the period from January 1, 2021 through November 29, 2021 and for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

Historically, the market values of vessels have experienced volatility, which from time to time may be substantial. As a result, the charter-free market value of our vessels may have declined below those vessels’ carrying value, even though we would not impair those vessels’ carrying value under our accounting impairment policy.

Our estimates of charter-free market value assume that our vessels were all in good and seaworthy condition without need for repair and if inspected would be certified in class without notations of any kind. Our estimates are based on information available from various industry sources, including:

● reports by industry analysts and data providers that focus on our industry and related dynamics affecting vessel values;

54

● news and industry reports of similar vessel sales;

● offers that we may have received from potential purchasers of our vessels; and

● vessel sale prices and values of which we are aware through both formal and informal communications with shipowners, shipbrokers, industry analysts and various other shipping industry participants and observers.

As we obtain information from various industry and other sources, our estimates of charter-free market value are inherently uncertain. In addition, vessel values are highly volatile; as such, our estimates may not be indicative of the current or future charter-free market value of our vessels or prices that we could achieve if we were to sell them. We also refer you to the risk factor in the “Risk Factors” entitled “The market values of our vessels have declined in recent years and may further decline, which could limit the amount of funds that we can borrow, or adversely affect our operating results, and we may incur a loss if we sell vessels following a decline in their market values.”

Non Monetary Transactions — Spin-Off

When we enter into a nonmonetary transaction as defined broadly under ASC 845, we determine whether the transaction is a contribution of an asset or a business by assessing the definition of a business under ASC 805 and whether the transaction is pro-rata. A transaction is considered pro rata if each owner receives an ownership interest in the transferee in proportion to its existing ownership interest in the transferor (even if the transferor retains an ownership interest in the transferee). In accordance with FASB Topic 805 Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired in an acquisition transaction are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, then the set is not a business. To be considered a business, a set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create an output. All assets contributed under nonmonetary transactions that do not meet the definition of a business and include pro rata distributions, are measured at their fair values on the transaction date in accordance with ASC 845, if the fair value is objectively measurable and clearly realizable in an outright sale at or near the distribution.

BUSINESS

History and development of the Company

OceanPal Inc. was incorporated by Diana Shipping under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands on April 15, 2021 to serve as the holding company of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors and former vessel owning subsidiaries of Diana Shipping in connection with the Spin-Off. Diana Shipping contributed the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors, together with $1.0 million in working capital, to us on November 29, 2021, in exchange for all of our issued and outstanding common stock. Our common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “OP” on November 30, 2021.

We are an independent provider of worldwide ocean-going transportation services. We own and operate four drybulk carriers that transport major bulks such as iron ore, coal and grains, and minor bulks such as bauxite, phosphate and fertilizers and have a total cargo carrying capacity of approximately 496,374 dwt. We intend to expand our fleet in the future and may acquire additional dry bulk carriers as well as vessels in other sectors based on our assessment of market conditions. We intend to acquire additional vessels principally in the secondhand market, including acquisitions from unrelated third parties, and we may also acquire additional vessels from Diana Shipping or other related parties, provided that such related party acquisitions are negotiated and conducted on an arms-length basis. Diana Shipping has granted us a right of first refusal over six identified drybulk carriers currently owned by Diana Shipping. Pursuant to this right of first refusal, we have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase one or all of the six identified vessels when and if Diana Shipping determines to sell the vessels at fair market value at the time of sale. For additional information, please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Directors, Senior Management and Employees – Related Party Transactions – Diana Shipping Right of First Refusal.” We may also enter into newbuilding contracts to the extent that we believe they present attractive opportunities.

Management of Our Fleet

Our business is the ownership of vessels. We are a holding company that wholly owns the subsidiaries which own the vessels that comprise our fleet. The holding company sets general overall direction for the company and interfaces with various financial markets. The commercial and technical management, except for insurance services, of our fleet is carried out by Diana Wilhelmsen Management Limited, which we refer to as DWM, a 50/50 joint venture between Wilhelmsen Ship Management and Diana Shipping Inc. In exchange for providing us with commercial and technical services, we pay DWM a monthly fee per vessel and a percentage of the vessels’ gross revenues. Insurance and handling of claims services and the provision of certain administrative management services are carried out by Steamship Shipbroking Enterprises Inc., or Steamship, an affiliated company of us and Diana Shipping. Administrative management services may include budgeting, reporting, monitoring of bank accounts, compliance with banks, payroll services, legal and securities compliance services, and any other possible administrative management services that we require to perform our business activities. Steamship also provides brokerage services to us pursuant to a brokerage services agreement. Please see “Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Related Party Transactions.”

Our Customers

Our customers include regional and international companies. During 2019, 2020 and for the period from January 1, 2021 to November 29, 2021, four and three of the charterers of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors accounted for 97%, 98% and 95%, respectively, of the Predecessors’ revenues. During 2021, for the period from commencement of our vessels’ operations (November 30, 2021), three of our charterers accounted for 93% of our revenues. During the second semester of 2022, three of our charterers accounted for 79% of our revenues.

Currently, our vessels are employed on short to medium-term time charters. Under our time charters, the charterer typically pays us a fixed daily charter hire rate and bears all voyage expenses, including the cost of bunkers (fuel oil) and canal and port charges. We remain responsible for paying the chartered vessel’s operating expenses, including the cost of crewing, insuring, repairing and maintaining the vessel. Our time charters are for fixed terms and will expire in accordance with the scheduled set forth in the table above, and charter-hire is generally paid monthly in arrears. In 2020 and for the period from January 1, 2021 to November 29, 2021, the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors paid commissions that ranged from 4.75% to 5.0% of the total daily charter hire rate of each charter to unaffiliated ship brokers and to in-house brokers associated with the charterer, depending on the number of brokers involved with arranging the charter. During 2021, for the period from commencement of our operations upon closing of the Spin-Off (November 30, 2021), as well as during the first semester of 2022 we paid commissions of 5.0% of the total daily charter hire rate of each charter to unaffiliated ship brokers and to in-house brokers associated with the charterer. Our time charters are subject to earlier termination in the event one of our vessels is a total or constructive loss as the result of casualty or is off-hire for more than a specified period.

Following the expiration of our existing time charters, we expect to employ our fleet on the spot market, whereby each vessel is employed on successive charters have a duration of a single voyage, with the exact term depending on the vessel route, although we may employ our vessels on time charters depending on market conditions. Under a spot charter, we are responsible for both the vessel operating expenses and the voyage expenses incurred in performing the charter. We strategically monitor developments in the dry bulk shipping industry on a regular basis and, subject to market demand, seek to adjust the charter hire periods for our vessels according to prevailing market conditions. Currently, our vessels are employed on short to medium-term time charters, which provides us with flexibility in responding to market developments, but in the future we may employ vessels in the spot market or on longer-term time charters. We continuously evaluate the duration of our charters and extend or reduce the charter hire periods of the vessels in our fleet according to the developments in the dry bulk shipping industry.

The Dry Bulk Shipping Industry

The global dry bulk carrier fleet could be divided into the following categories based on a vessel’s carrying capacity. These categories consist of:

● Very Large Ore Carriers. Very large ore carriers, or VLOCs, have a carrying capacity of more than 200,000 dwt and are a comparatively new sector of the dry bulk carrier fleet. VLOCs are built to exploit economies of scale on long-haul iron ore routes.

58

● Capesize. Capesize vessels have a carrying capacity of 110,000-199,999 dwt. Only the largest ports around the world possess the infrastructure to accommodate vessels of this size. Capesize vessels are primarily used to transport iron ore or coal and, to a much lesser extent, grains, primarily on long-haul routes.

● Post-Panamax. Post-Panamax vessels have a carrying capacity of 80,000-109,999 dwt. These vessels tend to have a shallower draft and larger beam than a standard Panamax vessel with a higher cargo capacity. These vessels have been designed specifically for loading high cubic cargoes from draught restricted ports, although they cannot transit the Panama Canal.

● Panamax. Panamax vessels have a carrying capacity of 60,000-79,999 dwt. These vessels carry coal, iron ore, grains, and, to a lesser extent, minor bulks, including steel products, cement and fertilizers. Panamax vessels are able to pass through the Panama Canal, making them more versatile than larger vessels with regard to accessing different trade routes. Most Panamax and Post-Panamax vessels are “gearless,” and therefore must be served by shore-based cargo handling equipment. However, there are a small number of geared vessels with onboard cranes, a feature that enhances trading flexibility and enables operation in ports which have poor infrastructure in terms of loading and unloading facilities.

● Handymax/Supramax. Handymax vessels have a carrying capacity of 40,000-59,999 dwt. These vessels operate in a large number of geographically dispersed global trade routes, carrying primarily grains and minor bulks. Within the Handymax category there is also a sub-sector known as Supramax. Supramax bulk carriers are ships between 50,000 to 59,999 dwt, normally offering cargo loading and unloading flexibility with on-board cranes, or “gear,” while at the same time possessing the cargo carrying capability approaching conventional Panamax bulk carriers.

● Handysize. Handysize vessels have a carrying capacity of up to 39,999 dwt. These vessels are primarily involved in carrying minor bulk cargoes. Increasingly, ships of this type operate within regional trading routes, and may serve as trans-shipment feeders for larger vessels. Handysize vessels are well suited for small ports with length and draft restrictions. Their cargo gear enables them to service ports lacking the infrastructure for cargo loading and unloading.

Other size categories occur in regional trade, such as Kamsarmax, with a maximum length of 229 meters, the maximum length that can load in the port of Kamsar in the Republic of Guinea. Other terms such as Seawaymax, Setouchmax, Dunkirkmax, and Newcastlemax also appear in regional trade.

The supply of dry bulk carriers is dependent on the delivery of new vessels and the removal of vessels from the global fleet, either through scrapping or loss. The level of scrapping activity is generally a function of scrapping prices in relation to current and prospective charter market conditions, as well as operating, repair and survey costs. The average age at which a vessel is scrapped was 28 years in 2021 and 27 years in 2020.

The demand for dry bulk carrier capacity is determined by the underlying demand for commodities transported in dry bulk carriers, which in turn is influenced by trends in the global economy. Demand for dry bulk carrier capacity is also affected by the operating efficiency of the global fleet, along with port congestion, which has been a feature of the market since 2004, absorbing tonnage and therefore leading to a tighter balance between supply and demand. In evaluating demand factors for dry bulk carrier capacity, the Company believes that dry bulk carriers can be the most versatile element of the global shipping fleets in terms of employment alternatives.

Charter Hire Rates

Charter hire rates fluctuate by varying degrees among dry bulk carrier size categories. The volume and pattern of trade in a small number of commodities (major bulks) affect demand for larger vessels. Therefore, charter rates and vessel values of larger vessels often show greater volatility. Conversely, trade in a greater number of commodities (minor bulks) drives demand for smaller dry bulk carriers. Accordingly, charter rates and vessel values for those vessels are usually subject to less volatility.

Charter hire rates paid for dry bulk carriers are primarily a function of the underlying balance between vessel supply and demand, although at times other factors may play a role. Furthermore, the pattern seen in charter rates is broadly mirrored across the different charter types and the different dry bulk carrier categories. In the time charter market, rates vary depending on the length of the charter period and vessel-specific factors such as age, speed and fuel consumption.

59

In the voyage charter market, rates are, among other things, influenced by cargo size, commodity, port dues and canal transit fees, as well as commencement and termination regions. In general, a larger cargo size is quoted at a lower rate per ton than a smaller cargo size. Routes with costly ports or canals generally command higher rates than routes with low port dues and no canals to transit. Voyages with a load port within a region that includes ports where vessels usually discharge cargo or a discharge port within a region with ports where vessels load cargo also are generally quoted at lower rates, because such voyages generally increase vessel utilization by reducing the unloaded portion (or ballast leg) that is included in the calculation of the return charter to a loading area.

Within the dry bulk shipping industry, the charter hire rate references most likely to be monitored are the freight rate indices issued by the Baltic Exchange. These references are based on actual charter hire rates under charters entered into by market participants as well as daily assessments provided to the Baltic Exchange by a panel of major shipbrokers. The Baltic Panamax Index is the index with the longest history. The Baltic Capesize Index and Baltic Handymax Index are of more recent origin.

The Baltic Dry Index, or BDI, a daily average of charter rates in 20 shipping routes measured on a time charter and voyage basis and covering Capesize, Panamax, Supramax, and Handysize dry bulk carriers declined from a high of 11,793 in May 2008 to a low of 663 in December 2008. In 2020, the BDI ranged from a low of 393 in May to a high of 2,097 in October, increased to a high of 5,650 on October 7, 2021, and dropped to 2,217 on December 24, 2021. The BDI further dropped to 1,296 on January 26, 2022, increased to a high of 3,369 on May 23, 2022, further dropped to 965 on August 31, 2022 and as of September 28, 2022 was 1,799.

Vessel Prices

Dry bulk vessel values in the first semester of 2022 and 2021 generally were higher as compared to 2020. Consistent with these trends were the market values of our dry bulk carriers. Since the beginning of 2021, charter rates and vessel values have improved, but there can be no assurance as to how long charter rates and vessel values will remain at their current levels or whether they will decrease or improve to any significant degree in the near future.

Competition

Our business fluctuates in line with the main patterns of trade of the major dry bulk cargoes and varies according to changes in the supply and demand for these items. We operate in markets that are highly competitive and based primarily on supply and demand. We compete for charters on the basis of price, vessel location, size, age and condition of the vessel, as well as on our reputation as an owner and operator. We compete with other owners of dry bulk carriers in the Panamax, Post-Panamax and smaller class sectors and with owners of Capesize and Newcastlemax dry bulk carriers. Ownership of dry bulk carriers is highly fragmented.

Permits and Authorizations

We are required by various governmental and quasi-governmental agencies to obtain certain permits, licenses and certificates with respect to our vessels. The kinds of permits, licenses and certificates required depend upon several factors, including the commodity transported, the waters in which the vessel operates the nationality of the vessel’s crew and the age of a vessel. We have been able to obtain all permits, licenses and certificates currently required to permit our vessels to operate. Additional laws and regulations, environmental or otherwise, may be adopted which could limit our ability to do business or increase the cost of us doing business.

Environmental and Other Regulations in the Shipping Industry

Government regulation and laws significantly affect the ownership and operation of our fleet. We are subject to international conventions and treaties, national, state and local laws and regulations in force in the countries in which our vessels may operate or are registered relating to safety and health and environmental protection including the storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of hazardous and non-hazardous materials, and the remediation of contamination and liability for damage to natural resources. Compliance with such laws, regulations and other requirements entails significant expense, including vessel modifications and implementation of certain operating procedures.

A variety of government and private entities subject our vessels to both scheduled and unscheduled inspections. These entities include the local port authorities (applicable national authorities such as the United States Coast Guard (“USCG”), harbor master or equivalent), classification societies, flag state administrations (countries of registry) and charterers, particularly terminal operators.

60

Certain of these entities require us to obtain permits, licenses, certificates and other authorizations for the operation of our vessels. Failure to maintain necessary permits or approvals could require us to incur substantial costs or result in the temporary suspension of the operation of one or more of our vessels.

Increasing environmental concerns have created a demand for vessels that conform to stricter environmental standards. We are required to maintain operating standards for all of our vessels that emphasize operational safety, quality maintenance, continuous training of our officers and crews and compliance with United States and international regulations. We believe that the operation of our vessels is in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that our vessels have all material permits, licenses, certificates or other authorizations necessary for the conduct of our operations. However, because such laws and regulations frequently change and may impose increasingly stricter requirements, we cannot predict the ultimate cost of complying with these requirements, or the impact of these requirements on the resale value or useful lives of our vessels. In addition, a future serious marine incident that causes significant adverse environmental impact could result in additional legislation or regulation that could negatively affect our profitability.

International Maritime Organization

The International Maritime Organization, the United Nations agency for maritime safety and the prevention of pollution by vessels (the “IMO”), has adopted the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto, collectively referred to as MARPOL 73/78 and herein as “MARPOL,” the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea of 1974 (“SOLAS Convention”), and the International Convention on Load Lines of 1966 (the “LL Convention”). MARPOL establishes environmental standards relating to oil leakage or spilling, garbage management, sewage, air emissions, handling and disposal of noxious liquids and the handling of harmful substances in packaged forms. MARPOL is applicable to drybulk, tanker and LNG carriers, among other vessels, and is broken into six Annexes, each of which regulates a different source of pollution. Annex I relates to oil leakage and spilling; Annexes II and III relate to harmful substances carried in bulk in liquid or in packaged form, respectively; Annexes IV and V relate to sewage and garbage management, respectively; and Annex VI, lastly, relates to air emissions. Annex VI was separately adopted by the IMO in September of 1997; new emissions standards, titled IMO-2020, took effect on January 1, 2020.

Air Emissions

In September of 1997, the IMO adopted Annex VI to MARPOL to address air pollution from vessels. Effective May 2005, Annex VI sets limits on sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from all commercial vessel exhausts and prohibits “deliberate emissions” of ozone depleting substances (such as halons and chlorofluorocarbons), emissions from the shipboard incineration of specific substances. Annex VI also includes a global cap on the sulfur content of fuel oil and allows for special areas to be established with more stringent controls on sulfur emissions, as explained below. We ensure that all our vessels are currently compliant in all material respects with these regulations.

The Marine Environment Protection Committee, or “MEPC”, adopted amendments to Annex VI regarding emissions of sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide, particulate matter and ozone depleting substances, which entered into force on July 1, 2010. The amended Annex VI seeks to further reduce air pollution by, among other things, implementing a progressive reduction of the amount of sulfur contained in any fuel oil used on board ships. On October 27, 2016, at its 70th session, the MEPC agreed to implement a global 0.5% m/m sulfur oxide emissions limit (reduced from 3.5%) starting from January 1, 2020. This limitation can be met by using low-sulfur compliant fuel oil, alternative fuels, or certain exhaust gas cleaning systems. Ships are now required to obtain bunker delivery notes and International Air Pollution Prevention (“IAPP”) Certificates from their flag states that specify sulfur content. Additionally, at MEPC 73, amendments to Annex VI to prohibit the carriage of bunkers above 0.5% sulfur on ships were adopted and took effect March 1, 2020. These regulations subject ocean-going vessels to stringent emissions controls, and may cause us to incur substantial costs.

Sulfur content standards are even stricter within certain “Emission Control Areas,” or (“ECAs”). As of January 1, 2015, ships operating within an ECA were not permitted to use fuel with sulfur content in excess of 0.1% m/m. Amended Annex VI establishes procedures for designating new ECAs. Currently, the IMO has designated four ECAs, including specified portions of the Baltic Sea area, North Sea area, North American area and United States Caribbean area. Ocean-going vessels in these areas will be subject to stringent emission controls and may cause us to incur additional costs. Other areas in China are subject to local regulations that impose stricter emission controls. In December 2021, the member states of the Convention for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea

61

Against Pollution (“Barcelona Convention”) agreed to support the designation of a new ECA in the Mediterranean. The group plans to submit a formal proposal to the IMO by the end of 2022 with the goal of having the ECA implemented by 2025. If other ECAs are approved by the IMO, or other new or more stringent requirements relating to emissions from marine diesel engines or port operations by vessels are adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or the states where we operate, compliance with these regulations could entail significant capital expenditures or otherwise increase the costs of our operations.

Amended Annex VI also establishes new tiers of stringent nitrogen oxide emissions standards for marine diesel engines, depending on their date of installation. At the MEPC meeting held from March to April 2014, amendments to Annex VI were adopted which address the date on which Tier III Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) standards in ECAs will go into effect. Under the amendments, Tier III NOx standards apply to ships that operate in the North American and U.S. Caribbean Sea ECAs designed for the control of NOx produced by vessels with a marine diesel engine installed and constructed on or after January 1, 2016. Tier III requirements could apply to areas that will be designated for Tier III NOx in the future. At MEPC 70 and MEPC 71, the MEPC approved the North Sea and Baltic Sea as ECAs for nitrogen oxide for ships built on or after January 1, 2021. For the moment, this regulation relates to new building vessels and has no retroactive application to existing fleet. The EPA promulgated equivalent (and in some senses stricter) emissions standards in 2010. As a result of these designations or similar future designations, we may be required to incur additional operating or other costs.

As determined at the MEPC 70, the new Regulation 22A of MARPOL Annex VI became effective as of March 1, 2018 and requires ships above 5,000 gross tonnage to collect and report annual data on fuel oil consumption to an IMO database, with the first year of data collection having commenced on January 1, 2019. The IMO intends to use such data as the first step in its roadmap (through 2023) for developing its strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships, as discussed further below.

As of January 1, 2013, MARPOL made mandatory certain measures relating to energy efficiency for ships. All ships are now required to develop and implement a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plans (“SEEMPs”), and new ships must be designed in compliance with minimum energy efficiency levels per capacity mile as defined by the Energy Efficiency Design Index (“EEDI”). Under these measures, by 2025, all new ships built will be 30% more energy efficient than those built in 2014. Additionally, MEPC 75 adopted amendments to MARPOL Annex VI which brings forward the effective date of the EEDI’s “phase 3” requirements from January 1, 2025 to April 1, 2022 for several ship types, including gas carriers, general cargo ships, and LNG carriers.

Additionally, MEPC 75 introduced draft amendments to Annex VI which impose new regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships. These amendments introduce requirements to assess and measure the energy efficiency of all ships and set the required attainment values, with the goal of reducing the carbon intensity of international shipping. The requirements include (1) a technical requirement to reduce carbon intensity based on a new Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (“EEXI”), and (2) operational carbon intensity reduction requirements, based on a new operational carbon intensity indicator (“CII”). The attained EEXI is required to be calculated for ships of 400 gross tonnage and above, in accordance with different values set for ship types and categories. With respect to the CII, the draft amendments would require ships of 5,000 gross tonnage to document and verify their actual annual operational CII achieved against a determined required annual operational CII. Additionally, MEPC 75 proposed draft amendments requiring that, on or before January 1, 2023, all ships above 400 gross tonnage must have an approved SEEMP on board. For ships above 5,000 gross tonnage, the SEEMP would need to include certain mandatory content. MEPC 75 also approved draft amendments to MARPOL Annex I to prohibit the use and carriage for use as fuel of heavy fuel oil (“HFO”) by ships in Arctic waters on and after July 1, 2024. The draft amendments introduced at MEPC 75 were adopted at the MEPC 76 session held on June 2021 and are expected to enter into force on November 1, 2022, with the requirements for EEXI and CII certification coming into effect from January 1, 2023.

We may incur costs to comply with these revised standards. Additional or new conventions, laws and regulations may be adopted that could require the installation of expensive emission control systems and could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Safety Management System Requirements

The SOLAS Convention was amended to address the safe manning of vessels and emergency training drills. The Convention of Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims (the “LLMC”) sets limitations of liability for a loss of life or personal injury claim or a property claim against ship owners. We believe that our vessels are in substantial compliance with SOLAS and LLMC standards.

62

Under Chapter IX of the SOLAS Convention, or the International Safety Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention (the “ISM Code”), our operations are also subject to environmental standards and requirements. The ISM Code requires the party with operational control of a vessel to develop an extensive safety management system that includes, among other things, the adoption of a safety and environmental protection policy setting forth instructions and procedures for operating its vessels safely and describing procedures for responding to emergencies. We rely upon the safety management system that we and our technical management team have developed for compliance with the ISM Code. The failure of a vessel owner or bareboat charterer to comply with the ISM Code may subject such party to increased liability, may decrease available insurance coverage for the affected vessels and may result in a denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports.

The ISM Code requires that vessel operators obtain a safety management certificate for each vessel they operate. This certificate evidences compliance by a vessel’s management with the ISM Code requirements for a safety management system. No vessel can obtain a safety management certificate unless its manager has been awarded a document of compliance, issued by each flag state, under the ISM Code. We have obtained applicable documents of compliance for our offices and safety management certificates for all of our vessels for which the certificates are required by the IMO. The documents of compliance and safety management certificate are renewed as required.

Regulation II-1/3-10 of the SOLAS Convention governs ship construction and stipulates that ships over 150 meters in length must have adequate strength, integrity and stability to minimize risk of loss or pollution. Goal-based standards amendments in SOLAS regulation II-1/3-10 entered into force in 2012, with July 1, 2016 set for application to new oil tankers and bulk carriers. The SOLAS Convention regulation II-1/3-10 on goal-based ship construction standards for bulk carriers and oil tankers, which entered into force on January 1, 2012, requires that all oil tankers and bulk carriers of 150 meters in length and above, for which the building contract is placed on or after July 1, 2016, satisfy applicable structural requirements conforming to the functional requirements of the International Goal-based Ship Construction Standards for Bulk Carriers and Oil Tankers (“GBS Standards”).

Amendments to the SOLAS Convention Chapter VII apply to vessels transporting dangerous goods and require those vessels be in compliance with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (“IMDG Code”). Effective January 1, 2018, the IMDG Code includes (1) updates to the provisions for radioactive material, reflecting the latest provisions from the International Atomic Energy Agency, (2) new marking, packing and classification requirements for dangerous goods, and (3) new mandatory training requirements. Amendments which took effect on January 1, 2020 also reflect the latest material from the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, including (1) new provisions regarding IMO type 9 tank, (2) new abbreviations for segregation groups, and (3) special provisions for carriage of lithium batteries and of vehicles powered by flammable liquid or gas. The upcoming amendments, which will come into force on June 1, 2022, include (1) addition of a definition of dosage rate, (2) additions to the list of high consequence dangerous goods, (3) new provisions for medical/clinical waste, (4) addition of various ISO standards for gas cylinders, (5) a new handling code, and (6) changes to stowage and segregation provisions.

The IMO has also adopted the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (“STCW”). As of February 2017, all seafarers are required to meet the STCW standards and be in possession of a valid STCW certificate. Flag states that have ratified SOLAS and STCW generally employ the classification societies, which have incorporated SOLAS and STCW requirements into their class rules, to undertake surveys to confirm compliance.

The IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee and MEPC, respectively, each adopted relevant parts of the International Code for Ships Operating in Polar Water (the “Polar Code”). The Polar Code, which entered into force on January 1, 2017, covers design, construction, equipment, operational, training, search and rescue as well as environmental protection matters relevant to ships operating in the waters surrounding the two poles. It also includes mandatory measures regarding safety and pollution prevention as well as recommendatory provisions. The Polar Code applies to new ships constructed after January 1, 2017, and after January 1, 2018, ships constructed before January 1, 2017 are required to meet the relevant requirements by the earlier of their first intermediate or renewal survey.

Furthermore, recent action by the IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee and United States agencies indicates that cybersecurity regulations for the maritime industry are likely to be further developed in the near future in an attempt to combat cybersecurity threats. For example, cyber-risk management systems must be incorporated by ship-owners and managers by 2021. This might cause companies to create additional procedures for monitoring cybersecurity, which could require additional expenses and/or capital expenditures. The impact of such regulations is hard to predict at this time.

Pollution Control and Liability Requirements

The IMO has negotiated international conventions that impose liability for pollution in international waters and the territorial waters of the signatories to such conventions. For example, the IMO adopted an International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, (the “BWM Convention”), in 2004. The BWM Convention entered into force on September 8, 2017. The BWM Convention requires ships to manage their ballast water to remove, render harmless, or avoid the uptake or discharge of new or invasive aquatic organisms and pathogens within ballast water and sediments. The BWM Convention’s implementing regulations call for a phased introduction of mandatory ballast water exchange requirements, to be replaced in time with mandatory concentration limits, and require all ships to carry a ballast water record book and an international ballast water management certificate.

On December 4, 2013, the IMO Assembly passed a resolution revising the application dates of the BWM Convention so that the dates are triggered by the entry into force date and not the dates originally in the BWM Convention. This, in effect, makes all vessels delivered before the entry into force date “existing vessels” and allows for the installation of ballast water management systems on such vessels at the first International Oil Pollution Prevention (“IOPP”) renewal survey following entry into force of the convention. The MEPC adopted updated guidelines for approval of ballast water management systems (G8) at MEPC 70. At MEPC 71, the schedule regarding the BWM Convention’s implementation dates was also discussed and amendments were introduced to extend the date existing vessels are subject to certain ballast water standards. Those changes were adopted at MEPC 72. Ships over 400 gross tons generally must comply with a “D-1 standard,” requiring the exchange of ballast water only in open seas and away from coastal waters. The “D-2 standard” specifies the maximum amount of viable organisms allowed to be discharged, and compliance dates vary depending on the IOPP renewal dates. Depending on the date of the IOPP renewal survey, existing vessels must comply with the D-2 standard on or after September 8, 2019. For most ships, compliance with the D-2 standard will involve installing on-board systems to treat ballast water and eliminate unwanted organisms. Ballast water management systems, which include systems that make use of chemical, biocides, organisms or biological mechanisms, or which alter the chemical or physical characteristics of the ballast water, must be approved in accordance with IMO Guidelines (Regulation D-3). As of October 13, 2019, MEPC 72’s amendments to the BWM Convention took effect, making the Code for Approval of Ballast Water Management Systems, which governs assessment of ballast water management systems, mandatory rather than permissive, and formalized an implementation schedule for the D-2 standard. Under these amendments, all ships must meet the D-2 standard by September 8, 2024. Costs of compliance with these regulations may be substantial. Additionally, in November 2020, MEPC 75 adopted amendments to the BWM Convention which require a commissioning test of the ballast water management system for the initial survey or when performing an additional survey for retrofits. This analysis will not apply to ships that already have an installed BWM system certified under the BWM Convention. These amendments entered into force on June 1, 2022.

Once mid-ocean exchange ballast water treatment requirements become mandatory under the BWM Convention, the cost of compliance could increase for ocean carriers and may have a material effect on our operations. However, many countries already regulate the discharge of ballast water carried by vessels from country to country to prevent the introduction of invasive and harmful species via such discharges. The U.S., for example, requires vessels entering its waters from another country to conduct mid-ocean ballast exchange, or undertake some alternate measure, and to comply with certain reporting requirements.

The IMO also adopted the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage (the “Bunker Convention”) to impose strict liability on ship owners (including the registered owner, bareboat charterer, manager or operator) for pollution damage in jurisdictional waters of ratifying states caused by discharges of bunker fuel. The Bunker Convention requires registered owners of ships over 1,000 gross tons to maintain insurance for pollution damage in an amount equal to the limits of liability under the applicable national or international limitation regime (but not exceeding the amount calculated in accordance with the LLMC). With respect to non-ratifying states, liability for spills or releases of oil carried as fuel in ship’s bunkers typically is determined by the national or other domestic laws in the jurisdiction where the events or damages occur.

Ships are required to maintain a certificate attesting that they maintain adequate insurance to cover an incident. In jurisdictions, such as the United States where the Bunker Convention has not been adopted, various legislative schemes or common law govern, and liability is imposed either on the basis of fault or on a strict-liability basis.

64

Anti-Fouling Requirements

In 2001, the IMO adopted the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems on Ships, or the “Anti-fouling Convention.” The Anti-fouling Convention, which entered into force on September 17, 2008, prohibits the use of organotin compound coatings to prevent the attachment of mollusks and other sea life to the hulls of vessels. Vessels of over 400 gross tons engaged in international voyages will also be required to undergo an initial survey before the vessel is put into service or before an International Anti-fouling System Certificate, or “IAFS Certificate”, is issued for the first time; and subsequent surveys when the anti-fouling systems are altered or replaced.

In November 2020, MEPC 75 approved draft amendments to the Anti-fouling Convention to prohibit anti-fouling systems containing cybutryne, which would apply to ships from January 1, 2023, or, for ships already bearing such an anti-fouling system, at the next scheduled renewal of the system after that date, but no later than 60 months following the last application to the ship of such a system. In addition, the IAFS Certificate has been updated to address compliance options for anti-fouling systems to address cybutryne. Ships which are affected by this ban on cybutryne must receive an updated IAFS Certificate no later than two years after the entry into force of these amendments. Ships which are not affected (i.e., with anti-fouling systems which do not contain cybutryne) must receive an updated IAFS Certificate at the next anti-fouling application to the vessel. These amendments were formally adopted at MEPC 76 in June 2021.

We have obtained Anti-fouling System Certificates for all of our vessels that are subject to the Anti-fouling Convention.

Compliance Enforcement

Noncompliance with the ISM Code or other IMO regulations may subject the ship owner or bareboat charterer to increased liability, may lead to decreases in available insurance coverage for affected vessels and may result in the denial of access to, or detention in, some ports. The USCG and European Union authorities have indicated that vessels not in compliance with the ISM Code by applicable deadlines will be prohibited from trading in U.S. and European Union ports, respectively. As of the date of this prospectus, each of our vessels is ISM Code certified. However, there can be no assurance that such certificates will be maintained in the future. The IMO continues to review and introduce new regulations. It is impossible to predict what additional regulations, if any, may be passed by the IMO and what effect, if any, such regulations might have on our operations.

U.S. Regulations

The U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act

The U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA”) established an extensive regulatory and liability regime for the protection and cleanup of the environment from oil spills. OPA affects all “owners and operators” whose vessels trade or operate within the U.S., its territories and possessions or whose vessels operate in U.S. waters, which includes the U.S.’s territorial sea and its 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone around the U.S. The U.S. has also enacted the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), which applies to the discharge of hazardous substances other than oil, except in limited circumstances, whether on land or at sea. OPA and CERCLA both define “owner and operator” in the case of a vessel as any person owning, operating or chartering by demise, the vessel. Both OPA and CERCLA impact our operations.

Under OPA, vessel owners and operators are “responsible parties” and are jointly, severally and strictly liable (unless the spill results solely from the act or omission of a third party, an act of God or an act of war) for all containment and clean-up costs and other damages arising from discharges or threatened discharges of oil from their vessels, including bunkers (fuel). OPA defines these other damages broadly to include:

(i) injury to, destruction or loss of, or loss of use of, natural resources and related assessment costs;

(ii) injury to, or economic losses resulting from, the destruction of real and personal property;

(iii) loss of subsistence use of natural resources that are injured, destroyed or lost;

65

(iv) net loss of taxes, royalties, rents, fees or net profit revenues resulting from injury, destruction or loss of real or personal property, or natural resources;

(v) lost profits or impairment of earning capacity due to injury, destruction or loss of real or personal property or natural resources; and

(vi) net cost of increased or additional public services necessitated by removal activities following a discharge of oil, such as protection from fire, safety or health hazards, and loss of subsistence use of natural resources.

OPA contains statutory caps on liability and damages; such caps do not apply to direct cleanup costs. Effective November 12, 2019, the USCG adjusted the limits of OPA liability for non-tank vessels, edible oil tank vessels, and any oil spill response vessels, to the greater of $1,200 per gross ton or $997,100 (subject to periodic adjustment for inflation). These limits of liability do not apply if an incident was proximately caused by the violation of an applicable U.S. federal safety, construction or operating regulation by a responsible party (or its agent, employee or a person acting pursuant to a contractual relationship), or a responsible party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The limitation on liability similarly does not apply if the responsible party fails or refuses to (i) report the incident as required by law where the responsible party knows or has reason to know of the incident; (ii) reasonably cooperate and assist as requested in connection with oil removal activities; or (iii) without sufficient cause, comply with an order issued under the Federal Water Pollution Act (Section 311 (c), (e)) or the Intervention on the High Seas Act.

CERCLA contains a similar liability regime whereby owners and operators of vessels are liable for cleanup, removal and remedial costs, as well as damages for injury to, or destruction or loss of, natural resources, including the reasonable costs associated with assessing the same, and health assessments or health effects studies. There is no liability if the discharge of a hazardous substance results solely from the act or omission of a third party, an act of God or an act of war. Liability under CERCLA is limited to the greater of $300 per gross ton or $5.0 million for vessels carrying a hazardous substance as cargo and the greater of $300 per gross ton or $500,000 for any other vessel. These limits do not apply (rendering the responsible person liable for the total cost of response and damages) if the release or threat of release of a hazardous substance resulted from willful misconduct or negligence, or the primary cause of the release was a violation of applicable safety, construction or operating standards or regulations. The limitation on liability also does not apply if the responsible person fails or refused to provide all reasonable cooperation and assistance as requested in connection with response activities where the vessel is subject to OPA.

OPA and CERCLA each preserve the right to recover damages under existing law, including maritime tort law. OPA and CERCLA both require owners and operators of vessels to establish and maintain with the USCG evidence of financial responsibility sufficient to meet the maximum amount of liability to which the particular responsible person may be subject. Vessel owners and operators may satisfy their financial responsibility obligations by providing a proof of insurance, a surety bond, qualification as a self-insurer or a guarantee. We comply and plan to comply going forward with the USCG’s financial responsibility regulations by providing applicable certificates of financial responsibility.

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico resulted in additional regulatory initiatives or statutes, including higher liability caps under OPA, new regulations regarding offshore oil and gas drilling, and a pilot inspection program for offshore facilities. However, several of these initiatives and regulations have been or may be revised. For example, the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement’s (“BSEE”) revised Production Safety Systems Rule (“PSSR”), effective December 27, 2018, modified and relaxed certain environmental and safety protections under the 2016 PSSR. Additionally, the BSEE amended the Well Control Rule, effective July 15, 2019, which rolled back certain reforms regarding the safety of drilling operations, and the former U.S. President Trump had proposed leasing new sections of U.S. waters to oil and gas companies for offshore drilling. The effects of these proposals and changes are currently unknown, and recently, current U.S. President Biden signed an executive order temporarily blocking new leases for oil and gas drilling in federal waters. However, attorney generals from 13 states filed suit in March 2021 to lift the executive order, and in June 2021, a federal judge in Louisiana granted a preliminary injunction against the Biden administration, stating that the power to pause offshore oil and gas leases “lies solely with Congress.” With these rapid changes, compliance with any new requirements of OPA and future legislation or regulations applicable to the operation of our vessels could impact the cost of our operations and adversely affect our business.

OPA specifically permits individual states to impose their own liability regimes with regard to oil pollution incidents occurring within their boundaries, provided they accept, at a minimum, the levels of liability established under OPA and some states have enacted legislation providing for unlimited liability for oil spills. Many U.S. states that border a navigable waterway have enacted

66

environmental pollution laws that impose strict liability on a person for removal costs and damages resulting from a discharge of oil or a release of a hazardous substance. These laws may be more stringent than U.S. federal law. Moreover, some states have enacted legislation providing for unlimited liability for discharge of pollutants within their waters, although in some cases, states which have enacted this type of legislation have not yet issued implementing regulations defining vessel owners’ responsibilities under these laws. The Company intends to comply with all applicable state regulations in the ports where the Company’s vessels call.

We currently maintain pollution liability coverage insurance in the amount of $1 billion per incident for each of our vessels. If the damages from a catastrophic spill were to exceed our insurance coverage, it could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operation.

Other United States Environmental Initiatives

The U.S. Clean Air Act of 1970 (including its amendments of 1977 and 1990) (“CAA”) requires the EPA to promulgate standards applicable to emissions of volatile organic compounds and other air contaminants. The CAA requires states to adopt State Implementation Plans, or SIPs, some of which regulate emissions resulting from vessel loading and unloading operations which may affect our vessels.

The U.S. Clean Water Act (“CWA”) prohibits the discharge of oil, hazardous substances and ballast water in U.S. navigable waters unless authorized by a duly-issued permit or exemption, and imposes strict liability in the form of penalties for any unauthorized discharges. The CWA also imposes substantial liability for the costs of removal, remediation and damages and complements the remedies available under OPA and CERCLA. In 2015, the EPA expanded the definition of “waters of the United States” (“WOTUS”), thereby expanding federal authority under the CWA. Following litigation on the revised WOTUS rule, in December 2018, the EPA and Department of the Army proposed a revised, limited definition of WOTUS. In 2019 and 2020, the agencies repealed the prior WOTUS Rule and promulgated the Navigable Waters Protection Rule (“NWPR”) which significantly reduced the scope and oversight of EPA and the Department of the Army in traditionally nonnavigable waterways. On August 30, 2021, a federal district court in Arizona vacated the NWPR and directed the agencies to replace the rule. On December 7, 2021, the EPA and the Department of the Army proposed a rule that would reinstate the pre-2015 definition. On February 24, 2022, the EPA announced ten roundtables to facilitate discussion on the implementation of WOTUS, which will meet in Spring and Summer of 2022. On January 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari for Sackett v. EPA, for which oral arguments will likely be held in Fall 2022, and will address the scope of WOTUS and may impact the rulemaking.

The EPA and the USCG have also enacted rules relating to ballast water discharge, compliance with which requires the installation of equipment on our vessels to treat ballast water before it is discharged or the implementation of other port facility disposal arrangements or procedures at potentially substantial costs, and/or otherwise restrict our vessels from entering U.S. Waters. The EPA will regulate these ballast water discharges and other discharges incidental to the normal operation of certain vessels within United States waters pursuant to the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act (“VIDA”), which was signed into law on December 4, 2018 and replaces the 2013 Vessel General Permit (“VGP”) program (which authorizes discharges incidental to operations of commercial vessels and contains numeric ballast water discharge limits for most vessels to reduce the risk of invasive species in U.S. waters, stringent requirements for exhaust gas scrubbers, and requirements for the use of environmentally acceptable lubricants) and current Coast Guard ballast water management regulations adopted under the U.S. National Invasive Species Act (“NISA”), such as mid-ocean ballast exchange programs and installation of approved USCG technology for all vessels equipped with ballast water tanks bound for U.S. ports or entering U.S. waters. VIDA establishes a new framework for the regulation of vessel incidental discharges under Clean Water Act (CWA), requires the EPA to develop performance standards for those discharges within two years of enactment, and requires the U.S. Coast Guard to develop implementation, compliance, and enforcement regulations within two years of EPA’s promulgation of standards. Under VIDA, all provisions of the 2013 VGP and USCG regulations regarding ballast water treatment remain in force and effect until the EPA and U.S. Coast Guard regulations are finalized. Non-military, non-recreational vessels greater than 79 feet in length must continue to comply with the requirements of the VGP, including submission of a Notice of Intent (“NOI”) or retention of a PARI form and submission of annual reports. We have submitted NOIs for our vessels where required. Compliance with the EPA, U.S. Coast Guard and state regulations could require the installation of ballast water treatment equipment on our vessels or the implementation of other port facility disposal procedures at potentially substantial cost, or may otherwise restrict our vessels from entering U.S. waters.

67

European Union Regulations

In October 2009, the European Union amended a directive to impose criminal sanctions for illicit ship-source discharges of polluting substances, including minor discharges, if committed with intent, recklessly or with serious negligence and the discharges individually or in the aggregate result in deterioration of the quality of water. Aiding and abetting the discharge of a polluting substance may also lead to criminal penalties. The directive applies to all types of vessels, irrespective of their flag, but certain exceptions apply to warships or where human safety or that of the ship is in danger. Criminal liability for pollution may result in substantial penalties or fines and increased civil liability claims. Regulation (EU) 2015/757 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2015 (amending EU Directive 2009/16/EC) governs the monitoring, reporting and verification of carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport, and, subject to some exclusions, requires companies with ships over 5,000 gross tonnage to monitor and report carbon dioxide emissions annually, which may cause us to incur additional expenses.

The European Union has adopted several regulations and directives requiring, among other things, more frequent inspections of high-risk ships, as determined by type, age, and flag as well as the number of times the ship has been detained. The European Union also adopted and extended a ban on substandard ships and enacted a minimum ban period and a definitive ban for repeated offenses. The regulation also provided the European Union with greater authority and control over classification societies, by imposing more requirements on classification societies and providing for fines or penalty payments for organizations that failed to comply. Furthermore, the EU has implemented regulations requiring vessels to use reduced sulfur content fuel for their main and auxiliary engines. The EU Directive 2005/33/EC (amending Directive 1999/32/EC) introduced requirements parallel to those in Annex VI relating to the sulfur content of marine fuels. In addition, the EU imposed a 0.1% maximum sulfur requirement for fuel used by ships at berth in the Baltic, the North Sea and the English Channel (the so called “SOx-Emission Control Area”). As of January 2020, EU member states must also ensure that ships in all EU waters, except the SOx-Emission Control Area, use fuels with a 0.5% maximum sulfur content.

On September 15, 2020, the European Parliament voted to include greenhouse gas emissions from the maritime sector in the European Union’s carbon market. On July 14, 2021, the European Parliament formally proposed its plan, which would involve gradually including the maritime sector from 2023 and phasing the sector in over a three-year period. This will require shipowners to buy permits to cover these emissions. Contingent on negotiations and a formal approval vote, these proposed regulations may not enter into force for another year or two.

International Labor Organization

The International Labor Organization (the “ILO”) is a specialized agency of the UN that has adopted the Maritime Labor Convention 2006 (“MLC 2006”). A Maritime Labor Certificate and a Declaration of Maritime Labor Compliance is required to ensure compliance with the MLC 2006 for all ships that are 500 gross tonnage or over and are either engaged in international voyages or flying the flag of a Member and operating from a port, or between ports, in another country. We believe that all our vessels are in substantial compliance with and are certified to meet MLC 2006.

Greenhouse Gas Regulation

Currently, the emissions of greenhouse gases from international shipping are not subject to the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which entered into force in 2005 and pursuant to which adopting countries have been required to implement national programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with targets extended through 2020. International negotiations are continuing with respect to a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, and restrictions on shipping emissions may be included in any new treaty. In December 2009, more than 27 nations, including the U.S. and China, signed the Copenhagen Accord, which includes a non-binding commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris resulted in the Paris Agreement, which entered into force on November 4, 2016 and does not directly limit greenhouse gas emissions from ships. The U.S. initially entered into the agreement, but on June 1, 2017, the former U.S. President Trump announced that the United States intends to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, and the withdrawal became effective on November 4, 2020. On January 20, 2021, U.S. President Biden signed an executive order to rejoin the Paris Agreement, which the U.S. officially rejoined on February 19, 2021.

At MEPC 70 and MEPC 71, a draft outline of the structure of the initial strategy for developing a comprehensive IMO strategy on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from ships was approved. In accordance with this roadmap, in April 2018, nations at the MEPC

68

72 adopted an initial strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships. The initial strategy identifies “levels of ambition” to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including (1) decreasing the carbon intensity from ships through implementation of further phases of the EEDI for new ships; (2) reducing carbon dioxide emissions per transport work, as an average across international shipping, by at least 40% by 2030, pursuing efforts towards 70% by 2050, compared to 2008 emission levels; and (3) reducing the total annual greenhouse emissions by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008 while pursuing efforts towards phasing them out entirely. The initial strategy notes that technological innovation, alternative fuels and/or energy sources for international shipping will be integral to achieve the overall ambition. These regulations could cause us to incur additional substantial expenses.

The EU made a unilateral commitment to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions from its member states from 20% of 1990 levels by 2020. The EU also committed to reduce its emissions by 20% under the Kyoto Protocol’s second period from 2013 to 2020. Starting in January 2018, large ships over 5,000 gross tonnage calling at EU ports are required to collect and publish data on carbon dioxide emissions and other information. As previously discussed, regulations relating to the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions from the maritime sector in the European Union’s carbon market are also forthcoming.

In the United States, the EPA issued a finding that greenhouse gases endanger the public health and safety, adopted regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions from certain mobile sources, and proposed regulations to limit greenhouse gas emissions from large stationary sources. However, in March 2017, the former U.S. President Trump signed an executive order to review and possibly eliminate the EPA’s plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions, and in August 2019, the Administration announced plans to weaken regulations for methane emissions, and on August 13, 2020, the EPA released rules rolling back standards to control methane and volatile organic compound emissions from new oil and gas facilities. However, U.S. President Biden recently directed the EPA to publish a proposed rule suspending, revising, or rescinding certain of these rules. The EPA or individual U.S. states could enact environmental regulations that would affect our operations.

Any passage of climate control legislation or other regulatory initiatives by the IMO, the EU, the U.S. or other countries where we operate, or any treaty adopted at the international level to succeed the Kyoto Protocol or Paris Agreement, that restricts emissions of greenhouse gases could require us to make significant financial expenditures which we cannot predict with certainty at this time. Even in the absence of climate control legislation, our business may be indirectly affected to the extent that climate change may result in sea level changes or certain weather events.

Vessel Security Regulations

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States, there have been a variety of initiatives intended to enhance vessel security such as the U.S. Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (“MTSA”). To implement certain portions of the MTSA, the USCG issued regulations requiring the implementation of certain security requirements aboard vessels operating in waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and at certain ports and facilities, some of which are regulated by the EPA.

Similarly, Chapter XI-2 of the SOLAS Convention imposes detailed security obligations on vessels and port authorities and mandates compliance with the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (“the ISPS Code”). The ISPS Code is designed to enhance the security of ports and ships against terrorism. To trade internationally, a vessel must attain an International Ship Security Certificate (“ISSC”) from a recognized security organization approved by the vessel’s flag state. Ships operating without a valid certificate may be detained, expelled from, or refused entry at port until they obtain an ISSC. The various requirements, some of which are found in the SOLAS Convention, include, for example, on-board installation of automatic identification systems to provide a means for the automatic transmission of safety-related information from among similarly equipped ships and shore stations, including information on a ship’s identity, position, course, speed and navigational status; on-board installation of ship security alert systems, which do not sound on the vessel but only alert the authorities on shore; the development of vessel security plans; ship identification number to be permanently marked on a vessel’s hull; a continuous synopsis record kept onboard showing a vessel’s history including the name of the ship, the state whose flag the ship is entitled to fly, the date on which the ship was registered with that state, the ship’s identification number, the port at which the ship is registered and the name of the registered owner(s) and their registered address; and compliance with flag state security certification requirements.

The USCG regulations, intended to align with international maritime security standards, exempt non-U.S. vessels from MTSA vessel security measures, provided such vessels have on board a valid ISSC that attests to the vessel’s compliance with the SOLAS Convention security requirements and the ISPS Code. Future security measures could have a significant financial impact on us. We intend to comply with the various security measures addressed by MTSA, the SOLAS Convention and the ISPS Code.

69

The cost of vessel security measures has also been affected by the escalation in the frequency of acts of piracy against ships, notably off the coast of Somalia, including the Gulf of Aden and Arabian Sea area. Substantial loss of revenue and other costs may be incurred as a result of detention of a vessel or additional security measures, and the risk of uninsured losses could significantly affect our business. Costs are incurred in taking additional security measures in accordance with Best Management Practices to Deter Piracy, notably those contained in the BMP5 industry standard.

Inspection by Flag Administration and Classification Societies

The hull and machinery of every commercial vessel must be classed by a classification society authorized by its country of registry. The classification society certifies that a vessel is safe and seaworthy in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the country of registry of the vessel and SOLAS. Most insurance underwriters make it a condition for insurance coverage and lending that a vessel be certified “in class” by a classification society which is a member of the International Association of Classification Societies, the IACS. The IACS has adopted harmonized Common Structural Rules, or “the Rules”, which apply to oil tankers and bulk carriers contracted for construction on or after July 1, 2015. The Rules attempt to create a level of consistency between IACS Societies. All of our vessels are certified as being “in class” by all the applicable Classification Societies (e.g., American Bureau of Shipping, Lloyd’s Register of Shipping).

A vessel must undergo annual surveys, intermediate surveys, drydockings and special surveys. In lieu of a special survey, a vessel’s machinery may be on a continuous survey cycle, under which the machinery would be surveyed periodically over a five-year period. Every vessel is also required to be drydocked every 30 to 36 months for inspection of the underwater parts of the vessel. In all cases, the interval between any two such examinations is not to exceed 36 months. If any vessel does not maintain its class and/or fails any annual survey, intermediate survey, drydocking or special survey, the vessel will be unable to carry cargo between ports and will be unemployable and uninsurable and could prevent us from obtaining secured financing on that vessel. Any such inability to carry cargo or be employed, or any such violation of covenants, could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Risk of Loss and Liability Insurance

General

The operation of any cargo vessel includes risks such as mechanical failure, physical damage, collision, property loss, cargo loss or damage and business interruption due to political circumstances in foreign countries, piracy incidents, hostilities and labor strikes. In addition, there is always an inherent possibility of marine disaster, including oil spills and other environmental mishaps, and the liabilities arising from owning and operating vessels in international trade. OPA, which imposes virtually unlimited liability upon shipowners, operators and bareboat charterers of any vessel trading in the exclusive economic zone of the United States for certain oil pollution accidents in the United States, has made liability insurance more expensive for shipowners and operators trading in the United States market. We carry insurance coverage as customary in the shipping industry. However, not all risks can be insured, specific claims may be rejected, and we might not be always able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates.

While we maintain hull and machinery insurance, war risks insurance, protection and indemnity cover and freight, demurrage and defense cover for our operating fleet in amounts that we believe to be prudent to cover normal risks in our operations, we may not be able to achieve or maintain this level of coverage throughout a vessel’s useful life. Furthermore, while we believe that our present insurance coverage is adequate, not all risks can be insured, and there can be no guarantee that any specific claim will be paid, or that we will always be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable rates.

Hull & Machinery and War Risks Insurance

We maintain marine hull and machinery and war risks insurance, which cover, among other marine risks, the risk of actual or constructive total loss, for all of our vessels. Our vessels are each covered up to at least fair market value with deductibles ranging to a maximum of $100,000 per vessel per incident for Panamax vessels and $150,000 per vessel per incident for the Capesize vessel.

70

Protection and Indemnity Insurance

Protection and indemnity insurance is provided by mutual protection and indemnity associations, or “P&I Associations,” and covers our third-party liabilities in connection with our shipping activities. This includes third-party liability and other related expenses of injury or death of crew, passengers and other third parties, loss or damage to cargo, claims arising from collisions with other vessels, damage to other third-party property, pollution arising from oil or other substances, and salvage, towing and other related costs, including wreck removal. Protection and indemnity insurance is a form of mutual indemnity insurance, extended by protection and indemnity mutual associations, or “clubs.”

Our current protection and indemnity insurance coverage for pollution is $1 billion per vessel per incident. The 13 P&I Associations that comprise the International Group insure approximately 90% of the world’s commercial tonnage and have entered into a pooling agreement to reinsure each association’s liabilities. The International Group’s website states that the Pool provides a mechanism for sharing all claims in excess of US$10 million up to, currently, approximately US$8.2 billion. As a member of a P&I Association, which is a member of the International Group, we are subject to calls payable to the associations based on our claim records as well as the claim records of all other members of the individual associations and members of the shipping pool of P&I Associations comprising the International Group. Our vessels may be subject to supplemental calls which are based on estimates of premium income and anticipated and paid claims. Such estimates are adjusted each year by the Board of Directors of the P&I Association until the closing of the relevant policy year, which generally occurs within three years from the end of the policy year. Supplemental calls, if any, are expensed when they are announced and according to the period they relate to.

Organizational Structure

OceanPal Inc. is a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. We own our vessels through separate wholly-owned subsidiaries incorporated in Marshall Islands, Panama and Cyprus.

(1) Diana Shipping Inc. owns 500,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock. Through its beneficial ownership of our Series B Preferred Stock, Diana Shipping Inc. is entitled to cast a number of votes for all matters on which our common shareholders are entitled to vote of up to 34% of the total number of votes entitled to vote on such matter. To the extent the aggregate voting power of any holder of Series B Preferred Stock, together with any affiliate of such holder, would exceed 49% of the total number of votes that may be cast on any matter submitted to a vote of our shareholders, the number of votes of relating to its shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be automatically reduced so that such holder’s aggregate voting power, together with any affiliate of such holder, is not more than 49%. Diana Shipping also owns 10,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock, which may be converted into shares of our common stock, at Diana Shipping’s option commencing upon the first anniversary of the original issue date, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $6.50 and the 10-trading day trailing VWAP of our common shares, subject to certain adjustments. Diana Shipping, however, is prohibited from converting its shares of Series C Preferred Stock into common shares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, Diana Shipping (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than 49% of the total outstanding common shares. Diana Shipping also owns 25,000 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock, which may be converted into shares of our common stock, at any time at Diana Shipping’s option, at a conversion price equal to the 10-trading day trailing VWAP of our common shares, subject to certain adjustments. Diana Shipping, however, is prohibited from converting its shares of Series D Preferred Stock into common shares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, Diana Shipping would beneficially own more than 49% of the total outstanding common shares.

(2) On April 15, 2022, our Board of Directors approved the award of 1,982 shares of Series C preferred stock to executive management and non-executive directors pursuant to our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan and which have not yet been issued. The information in the table above does not include these awards.

As of September 28, 2022, we had 97 shareholders of record, 89 of which were located in the United States and held an aggregate of 29,784,771 of our common shares, representing 99.85% of our outstanding common shares. However, one of the U.S. shareholders of record is CEDE & CO., a nominee of The Depository Trust Company, which held 29,757,701 of our common shares as of that date. Accordingly, we believe that the shares held by CEDE & CO. include common shares beneficially owned by both holders in the United States and non-U.S. beneficial owners. We are not aware of any arrangements the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in our change of control.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following is a summary of the description of our capital stock and the material terms of our articles of incorporation and bylaws. Because the following is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you may find useful. We refer you to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, which are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Purpose

Our purpose, as stated in our amended and restated articles of incorporation, is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may now or hereafter be organized under the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act, or the BCA. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws do not impose any limitations on the ownership rights of our stockholders.

Authorized Capitalization

Under our amended and restated articles of incorporation, our authorized capital stock consists of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 29,829,092 shares are issued and outstanding as of September 28, 2022, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which (i) 1,000,000 shares are designated Series A Participating Preferred Stock, none of which are issued and outstanding as of September 28, 2022, (ii) 500,000 shares are designated Series B Preferred Stock, all of which are issued and outstanding as of September 28, 2022, (iii) 20,000 shares are designated Series C Preferred Stock, of which 10,000 were issued and outstanding as of September 28, 2022, and 1,982 have been granted (but not yet issued) under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, and (iv) 25,000 shares are designated as Series D Preferred stock, all of which are issued and outstanding as of September 28, 2022. All of our shares of stock are in registered form.

Common Stock

Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive ratably all dividends, if any, declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends. Upon our dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata our remaining assets available for distribution. Holders of common stock do not have conversion, redemption or preemptive rights to subscribe to any of our securities. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to the rights of the holders of our preferred stock.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of preferred stock in one or more series with designations as may be stated in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such preferred stock. At the time that any series of our preferred stock is authorized, our board of directors will fix the dividend rights, any conversion rights, any voting rights, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences and any other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of that series, as well as the number of shares constituting that series and their designation. Our board of directors could, without shareholder approval, cause us to issue preferred stock which has voting, conversion and other rights and preferences that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of our common stock, Series A Participating Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, and other preferred stock we have issued, or will issue in the future, or make it more difficult to effect a change in control. In addition, preferred stock could be used to dilute the share ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of us and thereby hinder a possible takeover attempt which, if our shareholders were offered a premium over the market value of their shares, might be viewed as being beneficial to our shareholders. The material terms of any series of preferred stock that we offer through a prospectus supplement will be described in that prospectus supplement.

Series B Preferred Stock

The Series B Preferred Stock entitles Diana Shipping the right to vote up to 34% of the total number of votes entitled to be cast for all matters for which our shareholders are entitled to vote on, but have no economic rights. To the extent the aggregate voting

78

power of any holder of Series B Preferred Stock, together with any affiliate of such holder, would exceed 49% of the total number of votes that may be cast on any matter submitted to a vote of our shareholders, the number of votes related to each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be automatically reduced so that such holder’s aggregate voting power, together with any affiliate of such holder, is not more than 49%.

Series C Preferred Stock

The outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock have a cumulative preferred dividend accruing at the rate of 8.0% per annum, contain a $1,000 liquidation preference and are convertible into common shares at Diana Shipping’s option commencing upon the first anniversary of the original issue date, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $6.50 and the 10-trading day trailing VWAP of our common shares, subject to certain adjustments. Diana Shipping, however, is prohibited from converting its shares of Series C Preferred Stock into common shares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, Diana Shipping (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than 49% of the total outstanding common shares.

The shares of Series C Preferred Stock have no voting rights except (1) in respect of amendments to the Articles of Incorporation which would adversely alter the preferences, powers or rights of the holders of Series C Preferred Stock or (2) in the event that we propose to issue (a) any parity stock if the cumulative dividends payable on our outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock are in arrears (b) or any senior stock.

Under the Certificate of Designation for the Series C Preferred Stock, we are authorized to issue 20,000 shares, of which 10,000 have been issued as of the date of this prospectus and 1,982 have been granted (but not yet issued) under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan.

Series D Preferred Stock

As partial consideration for our purchase of the m/v Baltimore from Diana Shipping, we issued 25,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to Diana Shipping. The Series D Preferred Stock has a cumulative preferred dividend accruing at the rate of 7.0% per annum, contain a $1,000 liquidation preference and are convertible into common shares at any time at the holder’s option commencing from the original issue date, at a conversion price equal to the 10-trading day trailing VWAP of our common shares, subject to certain adjustments. Each holder, however, is prohibited from converting its shares of Series D Preferred stock to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, the holder would beneficially own more than 49% of our total outstanding common shares.

The holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock have no voting rights except (1) in respect of amendments to the Articles of Incorporation which would adversely alter the preferences, powers or rights of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock or (2) in the event that we propose to issue (a) any parity stock if the cumulative dividends payable on our outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock are in arrears or (b) any senior stock.

Preferred Stock Purchase Rights

We have entered into a Stockholders Rights Agreement, or the Rights Agreement, with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent.

Under the Rights Agreement, we will declare a dividend payable of one preferred stock purchase right, or Right, for each share of common stock outstanding immediately following the consummation of Diana Shipping’s distribution of our common shares. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from us one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, at an exercise price of $40.00 per share. The Rights will separate from the common stock and become exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our common stock (including through entry into certain derivative positions) in a transaction not approved by our board of directors. In that situation, each holder of a Right (other than the acquiring person, whose Rights will become void and will not be exercisable) will have the right to purchase, upon payment of the exercise price, a number of shares of our common stock having a then-current market value equal to twice the exercise price. In addition, if the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination after an acquiring person acquires 15% or more of our common stock, each holder of the Right will thereafter have the right to purchase, upon payment of the exercise price, a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring person having a then-current market value equal to twice the exercise price. The acquiring

79

person will not be entitled to exercise these Rights. Until a Right is exercised, the holder of a Right will have no rights to vote or receive dividends or any other stockholder rights.

The Rights may have anti-takeover effects. The Rights will cause substantial dilution to any person or group that attempts to acquire us without the approval of our board of directors. As a result, the overall effect of the Rights may be to render more difficult or discourage any attempt to acquire us. Because our board of directors can approve a redemption of the Rights or a permitted offer, the Rights should not interfere with a merger or other business combination approved by our board of directors.

We have summarized the material terms and conditions of the Rights Agreement and the Rights below. For a complete description of the Rights, we encourage you to read the Rights Agreement, which we have filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Detachment of the Rights

The Rights are attached to all certificates representing our currently outstanding common stock, or, in the case of uncertificated common shares registered in book entry form, which we refer to as “book entry shares,” by notation in book entry accounts reflecting ownership, and will attach to all common stock certificates and book entry shares we issue prior to the Rights distribution date that we describe below. The Rights are not exercisable until after the Rights distribution date and will expire 10 years after the date thereof, unless we redeem or exchange them earlier as we describe below. The Rights will separate from the common stock and a Rights distribution date would occur, subject to specified exceptions, on the earlier of the following two dates:

● the 10th day after public announcement that a person or group has acquired ownership of 15% or more of the Company’s common stock; or

● the 10th business day (or such later date as determined by the Company’s board of directors) after a person or group announces a tender or exchange offer which would result in that person or group holding 15% or more of the Company’s common stock.

“Acquiring person” is generally defined in the Rights Agreement as any person, together with all affiliates or associates, who beneficially owns 15% or more of the Company’s common stock. However, the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any employee benefit plan of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company, or any person holding shares of common stock for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan, are excluded from the definition of “acquiring person.” In addition, persons who beneficially own 15% or more of the Company’s common stock on the effective date of the Rights Agreement are excluded from the definition of “acquiring person” until such time as they acquire additional shares in excess of 2% of the Company’s then outstanding common stock as specified in the Rights Agreement for purposes of the Rights, and therefore, until such time, their ownership cannot trigger the Rights. For purposes of the Stockholders Rights Agreements, our Chairperson of the Board or any entity controlled by our Chairperson of the Board will not be considered an Acquiring Person regardless of the beneficial ownership. Specified “inadvertent” owners that would otherwise become an acquiring person, including those who would have this designation as a result of repurchases of common stock by us, will not become acquiring persons as a result of those transactions.

Our board of directors may defer the Rights distribution date in some circumstances, and some inadvertent acquisitions will not result in a person becoming an acquiring person if the person promptly divests itself of a sufficient number of shares of common stock.

Until the Rights distribution date:

● our common stock certificates and book entry shares will evidence the Rights, and the Rights will be transferable only with those certificates; and

● any new common stock will be issued with Rights and new certificates or book entry shares, as applicable, will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference.

80

As soon as practicable after the Rights distribution date, the Rights agent will mail certificates representing the Rights to holders of record of common stock at the close of business on that date. After the Rights distribution date, only separate Rights certificates will represent the Rights.

We will not issue Rights with any shares of common stock we issue after the Rights distribution date, except as our board of directors may otherwise determine.

Flip-In Event

A “flip-in event” will occur under the Rights Agreement when a person becomes an acquiring person other than pursuant to certain kinds of permitted offers. An offer is permitted under the Rights Agreement if a person will become an acquiring person pursuant to a merger or other acquisition agreement that has been approved by our board of directors prior to that person becoming an acquiring person.

If a flip-in event occurs and we have not previously redeemed the Rights as described under the heading “Redemption of Rights” below or, if the acquiring person acquires less than 50% of our outstanding common stock and we do not exchange the Rights as described under the heading “Exchange of Rights” below, each Right, other than any Right that has become void, as we describe below, will become exercisable at the time it is no longer redeemable for the number of shares of common stock, or, in some cases, cash, property or other of our securities, having a current market price equal to two times the exercise price of such right.

When a flip-in event occurs, all Rights that then are, or in some circumstances that were, beneficially owned by or transferred to an acquiring person or specified related parties will become void in the circumstances the Rights Agreement specifies.

Flip-Over Event

A “flip-over event” will occur under the Rights Agreement when, at any time after a person has become an acquiring person:

· we are acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction, other than specified mergers that follow a permitted offer of the type we describe above; or

· 50% or more of our assets or earning power is sold or transferred.

If a flip-over event occurs, each holder of a Right, other than any Right that has become void as we describe under the heading “Flip-In Event” above, will have the right to receive the number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company which has a current market price equal to two times the exercise price of such Right.

Anti-dilution

The number of outstanding Rights associated with our common stock is subject to adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend or subdivision, combination or reclassification of our common stock occurring prior to the Rights distribution date. With some exceptions, the Rights Agreement will not require us to adjust the exercise price of the Rights until cumulative adjustments amount to at least 1% of the exercise price. It also will not require us to issue fractional shares of our Series A Participating Preferred Stock that are not integral multiples of one-thousandth of a share, and, instead we may make a cash adjustment based on the market price of the common stock on the last trading date prior to the date of exercise.

Redemption of Rights

At any time until the date on which the occurrence of a flip-in event is first publicly announced, we may order redemption of the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price of $0.01 per right. The redemption price is subject to adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction occurring before the date of redemption. At our option, we may pay that redemption price in cash or shares of common stock. The Rights are not exercisable after a flip-in event if they are timely redeemed by us or until ten days following the first public announcement of a flip-in event. If our board of directors timely orders the redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate on the effectiveness of that action.

81

Exchange of Rights

We may, at our option, exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by an acquiring person or an affiliate or an associate of an acquiring person, which have become void), in whole or in part. The exchange will be at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock per right, subject to specified adjustments at any time after the occurrence of a flip-in event and prior to any person other than us or our existing stockholders becoming the beneficial owner of 50% or more of our outstanding common stock for the purposes of the Rights Agreement.

Amendment of Terms of Rights

During the time the Rights are redeemable, we may amend any of the provisions of the Rights Agreement, other than by decreasing the redemption price. Once the Rights cease to be redeemable, we generally may amend the provisions of the Rights Agreement, other than to decrease the redemption price, only as follows:

● to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

● to make changes that do not materially adversely affect the interests of holders of Rights, excluding the interests of any acquiring person; or

● to shorten or lengthen any time period under the Rights Agreement, except that we cannot lengthen the time period governing redemption or lengthen any time period that protects, enhances or clarifies the benefits of holders of Rights other than an acquiring person.

Securities Offered in this Offering

We are offering Units, each Unit consisting of one share of common stock and one Class B Warrant to purchase one share of common stock. We are also offering to each purchaser whose purchase of common shares in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates, beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding common shares immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if the purchaser so chooses, Units containing pre-funded warrants in lieu of common shares that would otherwise result in the purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of our outstanding common shares. For each pre-funded warrant we sell (without regard to any limitation on exercise set forth therein), the number of common shares we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. Because one Class B Warrant is being sold together in this offering with each common share or, in the alternative, each pre-funded warrant to purchase one common share, the number of Class B Warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of the common shares and pre-funded warrants sold.

We are also registering the common shares included in the Units and the common shares issuable from time to time upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants and Class B Warrants included in the Units offered hereby. Our Units have no stand-alone rights and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The common shares (or pre-funded warrants) and the Class B Warrants comprising our Units are immediately separable and will be issued separately in this offering.

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the pre-funded warrants and Class B Warrants offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the form of pre- funded warrant, and the form of Class B Warrant, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions set forth in the form of pre-funded warrant and the form of Class B Warrant.

Exercisability. The pre-funded warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance until they are exercised in full. The Class B Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance up to the date that is five years after their original issuance. Each of the Class B Warrants and the pre-funded warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement registering the issuance of the common shares underlying the Class B Warrants or pre-funded warrants under the Securities Act is effective and available for the issuance of such shares, or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available for the issuance of such shares, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of common shares purchased upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the issuance of the common shares underlying the Class B Warrants or pre-funded warrants under the Securities

82

Act is not effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the Class B Warrant or pre-funded warrant through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of common shares determined according to the formula set forth in the Class B Warrant or pre-funded warrant. No fractional common shares will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Class B Warrant or pre-funded warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

Exercise Limitation. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the pre-funded warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election by a holder prior to the issuance of any pre-funded warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of our common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us with respect to any increase in such percentage.

Exercise Price. The exercise price for the pre-funded warrants is $0.01 per share. The exercise price per whole common share purchasable upon exercise of the Class B Warrants is $ per share. The exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon exercise will adjust in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common shares.

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the Class B Warrants and the pre-funded warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

Exchange Listing. We do not intend to apply for the listing of the Class B Warrants or pre-funded warrants offered in this offering on any stock exchange. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Class B Warrants and the pre-funded warrants will be limited.

Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Class B Warrants or the pre-funded warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of our common shares, the holder of a Class B Warrant or pre-funded warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common shares, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the warrant.

Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Class B Warrants and the pre-funded warrants and generally including, with certain exceptions, any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common shares, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding common shares, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding common shares, the holders of the Class B Warrants and the pre-funded warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Additionally, as more fully described in the Class B Warrant, in the event of certain fundamental transactions, the holders of the Class B Warrants will be entitled to receive consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes value of the Class B Warrants on the date of consummation of such transaction.

Governing Law. The pre-funded warrants, the Class B Warrants and Warrant Agreement are governed by New York law.

83

TAXATION

In the opinion of Seward & Kissel LLP, the following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income and Marshall Islands tax considerations that may be applicable to “U.S. Holders” and “non-U.S. Holders” (each as defined below) with respect to the distribution, ownership, sale, exchange or disposition of the Units consisting of one common shares or one pre-funded warrant to purchase one common share and one Class B Warrant to purchase one common share, and of the ownership, exercise, lapse and disposition of the Class B Warrants and pre-funded warrant, and of the material U.S. federal and Marshall Islands income tax consequences applicable to us and our operations. This discussion only applies to shareholders who acquire common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (generally property held for investment). This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to each purchaser or holder of common stock in light of its particular circumstances.

This discussion is based upon provisions of the Code, the Treasury Regulations, promulgated thereunder and rulings and judicial decisions all as of the date hereof, and all of which may change, perhaps retroactively, potentially resulting in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those summarized below. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation (such as the alternative minimum tax) and does not describe any foreign, state, local or other tax considerations that may be relevant to a purchaser or holder of common stock in light of their particular circumstances. In addition, this discussion does not describe the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to a purchaser or a holder of common stock who is subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws (including, a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, a pass-through entity or an investor in a pass-through entity, a tax-exempt entity, pension or other employee benefit plans, financial institutions or broker-dealers, persons holding common stock as part of a hedging or conversion transaction or straddle, a person subject to the alternative minimum tax or the “base erosion and anti-avoidance” tax, a person required to recognize income for U.S. federal income tax purposes no later than when such income is reported on an “applicable financial statement”, an insurance company, former U.S. citizens or former long-term U.S. residents aliens, persons who own, directly or constructively, 10% or more of our equity).

If a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner of that partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership or a partner of a partnership holding common stock or Warrants, you should consult your tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of common stock.

You should consult your own independent tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of acquiring, owning, and disposing of these securities, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any other tax jurisdiction and the possible effects of changes in U.S. federal or other tax laws.

U.S. Holders

Subject to the qualifications set forth above, the following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may relate to the purchase, ownership and disposition of common stock by “U.S. Holders” and the purchase, ownership, exercise, lapse, sale or other disposition of the Warrants by “U.S. Holders.” You are a “U.S. Holder” if you are a beneficial owner of common stock or Warrants and you are for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

● an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

● a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

● an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

● a trust if it (i) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

84

Distributions in General.

Subject to the discussion below of the rules applicable to PFICs, any distributions to a U.S. Holder made by us with respect to common stock generally will constitute dividends, which may be taxable as ordinary income or “qualified dividend income” as described in more detail below, to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its common stock and thereafter as capital gain. U.S. Holders that are corporations generally will not be entitled to claim a dividends received deduction with respect to distributions they receive from the Issuer because the Issuer is not a U.S. corporation. Dividends received with respect to common stock generally will be treated as non-U.S. source “passive category income” for purposes of computing allowable foreign tax credits for United States federal income tax purposes.

Dividends paid on common stock to a U.S. Holder who is an individual, trust or estate, which we refer to as a U.S. Individual Holder, will generally be treated as “qualified dividend income” that are taxable to such U.S. Individual Holders at preferential tax rates provided that (1) common stock is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States (such as the Nasdaq, on which common stock are listed); (2) the Company is not a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for the taxable year during which the dividend is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year (see discussion below); and (3) the U.S. Individual Holder has owned common stock for more than 60 days in the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the date on which it becomes ex-dividend. U.S. Individual Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to common stock.

Any dividends paid by us which are not eligible for these preferential rates will be taxed as ordinary income to a U.S. Holder.

Special rules may apply to any amounts received in respect of common stock that are treated as “extraordinary dividends.” In general, an extraordinary dividend is a dividend with respect to a common stock that is equal to or in excess of 5% of the holder’s adjusted tax basis (or fair market value upon such holder’s election). In addition, extraordinary dividends include dividends received within a one-year period that, in the aggregate, equal or exceed 20% of the holder’s adjusted tax basis (or fair market value).

Sale, Exchange, or Other Disposition of common stock.

Subject to the discussion below of the rules applicable to PFICs, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of common stock in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized by the U.S. Holder from such sale, exchange or other disposition and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such stock. The U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in its common stock generally will be the U.S. Holder’s purchase price for the stock and that tax basis will be reduced (but not below zero) by the amount of any distributions on the units that are treated as non-taxable returns of capital. Such gain or loss will generally be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period is greater than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other disposition. Non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible for preferential rates of United States federal income tax in respect of long-term capital gains. A U.S. Holder’s ability to deduct capital losses is subject to limitations. Such capital gain or loss generally will be treated as U.S.-source income or loss, as applicable, for United States foreign tax credit purposes.

Consequences of Owning Shares in a passive foreign investment company, or “PFIC.”

Special U.S. federal income tax rules apply to a U.S. Holder that holds stock, or is treated as holding stock by application of certain attribution rules (for instance, treating options or warrants as stock), in a foreign corporation classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, we will be treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder if, for any taxable year in which such holder held our common stock either:

· at least 75% of our gross income for such taxable year consists of passive income (e.g., dividends, interest, capital gains and rents derived other than in the active conduct of a rental business); or

· at least 50% of the average value of the assets held by the corporation during such taxable year produce, or are held for the production of, passive income.

85

For purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC, we will be treated as earning and owning our proportionate share of the income and assets, respectively, of any of our subsidiary corporations in which we own at least 25% of the value of the subsidiary’s stock. Income earned, or deemed earned, by us in connection with the performance of services should not constitute passive income. By contrast, rental income, which includes bareboat hire, would generally constitute “passive income” unless we are treated under specific rules as deriving rental income in the active conduct of a trade or business.

Based on our current operations and future projections, we do not believe that we are or have been a PFIC during any taxable year, nor do we expect to become a PFIC with respect to our current taxable year or any future taxable year. Although there is no legal authority directly on point, our belief is based principally on the position that, for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC, the gross income we derive or are deemed to derive from the time chartering and voyage chartering activities of our wholly-owned subsidiaries should constitute services income, rather than rental income. Correspondingly, we believe that such income does not constitute passive income, and the assets that we or our wholly-owned subsidiaries own and operate in connection with the production of such income, in particular, the vessels, do not constitute passive assets for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC. We believe there is substantial legal authority supporting our position consisting of case law and Internal Revenue Service pronouncements concerning the characterization of income derived from time charters and voyage charters as services income for other tax purposes. However, there is also authority which characterizes time charter income as rental income rather than services income for other tax purposes. It should be noted that in the absence of any legal authority specifically relating to the statutory provisions governing PFICs, the Internal Revenue Service or a court could disagree with this position. In addition, although we intend to conduct our affairs in a manner so as to avoid being classified as a PFIC with respect to any taxable year, there can be no assurance that the nature of our operations will not change in the future.

As discussed more fully below, if we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder would be subject to different taxation rules depending on whether the U.S. Holder of our common stock makes an election to treat us as a “Qualified Electing Fund,” which election is referred to as a “QEF election.” As an alternative to making a QEF election, a U.S. Holder of our common stock should be able to make a “mark-to-market” election with respect to common stock, as discussed below. In addition, if we were to be treated as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder would be required to file an IRS Form 8621 with respect to such holder’s Common Stock.

Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a Timely QEF Election.

If a U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election (or an “Electing Holder”), then, for United States federal income tax purposes, such Electing Holder must report as income for its taxable year its pro rata share of the Issuer’s ordinary earnings and net capital gain, if any, for our taxable years that end with or within the taxable year for which such Electing Holder is reporting, regardless of whether or not the Electing Holder received distributions from the Issuer in that year. The Electing Holder’s adjusted tax basis in common stock will be increased to reflect taxed but undistributed earnings and profits. Distributions of earnings and profits that were previously taxed will result in a corresponding reduction in the Electing Holder’s adjusted tax basis in common stock and will not be taxed again once distributed. An Electing Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of common stock. A U.S. Holder makes a QEF election with respect to any year that we are a PFIC by filing IRS Form 8621 with its United States federal income tax return. We will provide each U.S. Holder with the information necessary to make the QEF election described above, although there can be no assurances that we will be able to provide such information annually.

Taxation of U.S. Holders Making a Mark-to-Market Election.

Alternatively, if, as we anticipate, common stock are treated as “marketable stock,” a U.S. Holder would be permitted to make an election to mark-to-market its common stock (the “Mark-to-Market Election”), provided the U.S. Holder completes and files IRS Form 8621 in accordance with the relevant instructions and related Treasury Regulations. If that election is made, the U.S. Holder generally would include as ordinary income in each taxable year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of common stock at the end of the taxable year over such holder’s adjusted tax basis in common stock. The U.S. Holder would also be permitted an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in common stock over its fair market value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the Mark-to-Market Election. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its common stock would be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amount. Gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of common stock would be treated as ordinary income, and any loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of common stock would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent that such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included in income by the U.S. Holder.

86

Taxation of U.S. Holders Not Making a Timely QEF or Mark-to-Market Election.

A U.S. Holder that does not make either a QEF election or a Mark-to-Market Election for that year (or a “Non-Electing Holder”) would be subject to special rules resulting in increased tax liability with respect to (1) any excess distribution (i.e., the portion of any distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder on common stock in a taxable year in excess of 125% of the average annual distributions received by the Non-Electing Holder in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the Non-Electing Holder’s holding period for common stock), and (2) any gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of common stock. Under these special rules:

· the excess distribution or gain would be allocated ratably over the Non-Electing Holder’s aggregate holding period for common stock;

· the amount allocated to the current taxable year and any taxable year prior to the taxable year we were first treated as a PFIC with respect to the Non-Electing Holder would be taxed as ordinary income; and

· the amount allocated to each of the other taxable years would be subject to tax at the highest rate of tax in effect for the applicable class of taxpayers for that year, and an interest charge for the deemed deferral benefit would be imposed with respect to the resulting tax attributable to each such other taxable year.

United States Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders

A beneficial owner of common stock (other than a partnership or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) or Warrants that is not a U.S. Holder is referred to as a Non-U.S. Holder. If you are a partner in a partnership (or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holding common stock, you should consult your own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to you of the partnership’s ownership of common stock.

Distributions

Distributions we pay to a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to United States federal income tax or withholding tax if the Non-U.S. Holder is not engaged in a United States trade or business. If the Non-U.S. Holder is engaged in a United States trade or business, our distributions will generally be subject to United States federal income tax, on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates, to the extent they constitute income effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s United States trade or business. However, distributions paid to a Non-U.S. Holder that is engaged in a trade or business may be exempt from taxation under an income tax treaty if the income arising from the distribution is not attributable to a United States permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items.

Disposition of common stock.

In general, a Non-U.S. Holder is not subject to United States federal income tax or withholding tax on any gain resulting from the disposition of common stock provided the Non-U.S. Holder is not engaged in a United States trade or business. A Non-U.S. Holder that is engaged in a United States trade or business will be subject to United States federal income tax, on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates, in the event the gain from the disposition of stock is effectively connected with the conduct of such United States trade or business (provided, in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder entitled to the benefits of an income tax treaty with the United States, such gain also is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment). A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items. However, even if not engaged in a United States trade or business, individual Non-U.S. Holders may be subject to tax on gain (which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States, provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses) resulting from the disposition of common stock if they are present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the stock is disposed and meet certain other requirements.

Non-U.S. Holders subject to United States federal income tax should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of an investment in common stock.

87

Information reporting and backup withholding.

In general, payments to a non-corporate U.S. Holder of distributions or the proceeds of a disposition of common stock will be subject to information reporting. These payments to a non-corporate U.S. Holder also may be subject to backup withholding if the non-corporate U.S. Holder:

· fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;

· is notified by the IRS that it has failed to report all interest or corporate distributions required to be reported on its U.S. federal income tax returns; or

· in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.

Non-U.S. Holders may be required to establish their exemption from information reporting and backup withholding by certifying their status on IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY (or applicable successor forms) together with all applicable certifications and statements, as applicable.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, a shareholder generally may obtain a credit for any amount withheld against its liability for United States federal income tax (and obtain a refund of any amounts withheld in excess of such liability) by timely filing a United States federal income tax return with the IRS.

Individuals who are U.S. Holders (and to the extent specified in applicable Treasury regulations, certain individuals who are Non-U.S. Holders and certain United States entities) who hold “specified foreign financial assets” (as defined in Section 6038D of the Code) are required to file IRS Form 8938 with information relating to the asset for each taxable year in which the aggregate value of all such assets exceeds $75,000 at any time during the taxable year or $50,000 on the last day of the taxable year (or such higher dollar amount as prescribed by applicable Treasury regulations). Specified foreign financial assets would include, among other assets, common stock, unless the shares held through an account maintained with a United States financial institution. Substantial penalties apply to any failure to timely file IRS Form 8938, unless the failure is shown to be due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. Additionally, in the event an individual U.S. Holder (and to the extent specified in applicable Treasury regulations, an individual Non-U.S. Holder or a United States entity) that is required to file IRS Form 8938 does not file such form, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of United States federal income taxes of such holder for the related tax year may not close until three years after the date that the required information is filed. U.S. Holders (including U.S. entities) and Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding their reporting obligations under this legislation.

U.S. Federal Income Taxation of the Company

Taxation of Operating Income: In General

Unless exempt from United States federal income taxation under the rules discussed below, a foreign corporation is subject to United States federal income taxation in respect of any income that is derived from the use of vessels, from the hiring or leasing of vessels for use on a time, voyage or bareboat charter basis, from the participation in a pool, partnership, strategic alliance, joint operating agreement, code sharing arrangement or other joint venture it directly or indirectly owns or participates in that generates such income, or from the performance of services directly related to those uses, which we refer to as “shipping income,” to the extent that the shipping income is derived from sources within the United States. For these purposes, 50% of shipping income that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the United States exclusive of certain U.S. territories and possessions constitutes income from sources within the United States, which we refer to as “U.S.-source shipping income.”

Shipping income attributable to transportation that both begins and ends in the United States is considered to be 100% from sources within the United States. We are not permitted by law to engage in transportation that produces income which is considered to be 100% from sources within the United States.

88

Shipping income attributable to transportation exclusively between non-United States ports will be considered to be 100% derived from sources outside the United States. Shipping income derived from sources outside the United States will not be subject to any United States federal income tax.

In the absence of exemption from tax under Section 883 of the Code, our gross U.S.-source shipping income would be subject to a 4% tax imposed without allowance for deductions as described below.

Exemption of Operating Income from United States Federal Income Taxation

Under Section 883 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, the Company will be exempt from United States federal income taxation on its U.S.-source shipping income if:

● the Company is organized in a foreign country, or its country of organization, that grants an “equivalent exemption” to corporations organized in the United States; and

Either

● more than 50% of the value of the Company’s stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by “qualified shareholders,” individuals who are “residents” of a foreign country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to corporations organized in the United States, which we refer to as the “50% Ownership Test,” or

● the Company’s stock is “primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market” in a country that grants an “equivalent exemption” to United States corporations, or in the United States, which we refer to as the “Publicly-Traded Test.”

The Marshall Islands, the jurisdiction where the Company is incorporated, and each of the jurisdictions where the Company’s subsidiaries are incorporated grants an “equivalent exemption” to United States corporations. Therefore, the Company and its subsidiaries will be exempt from United States federal income taxation in any taxable year with respect to our U.S.-source shipping income if the Company satisfies either the 50% Ownership Test or the Publicly-Traded Test for such taxable year.

The Company does not expect that it will be able to satisfy the 50% Ownership Test for any taxable year due to the anticipated, widely-held nature of its stock.

The Company’s ability to satisfy the Publicly-Traded Test is discussed below.

The Treasury Regulations provide, in pertinent part, that the stock of a foreign corporation will be considered to be “primarily traded” on an established securities market in a country if the number of shares of each class of stock that is traded during the taxable year on all established securities markets in that country exceeds the number of shares in each such class that is traded during that year on established securities markets in any other single country. Our common shares will be “primarily traded” on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which is an established securities market for these purposes.

Under the regulations, the Company’s common shares will be considered to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market if one or more classes of its stock representing more than 50% of our outstanding shares, by total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote and total value, is listed on the market (the “listing threshold”). Since the Company’s common shares will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Company will satisfy the listing threshold.

It is further required that with respect to each class of stock relied upon to meet the listing threshold (i) such class of the stock is traded on the market, other than in minimal quantities, on at least 60 days during the taxable year (or 1/6 of the days in the case of a short taxable year); and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of such class of stock traded on such market is at least 10% of the average number of shares of such class of stock outstanding during such year (or as appropriately adjusted in the case of a short taxable year). The Company expects to satisfy the trading frequency and trading volume tests described in this paragraph. Even if this were not the case, the relevant Treasury regulations provide that the trading frequency and trading volume tests will be deemed satisfied by a class of stock if, as the Company expects to be the case with its common shares, such class of stock is traded on an established market in the United States, such as the Nasdaq Capital Market, and such class of stock is regularly quoted by dealers making a market in such stock.

89

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Treasury regulations provide that, in pertinent part, a non-U.S. corporation’s common stock will not be considered to be “regularly traded” on an established securities market for any taxable year if 50% or more of the outstanding shares of such corporation’s common stock is owned, actually or constructively under specified attribution rules, on more than half the days during the taxable year by persons who each own 5% or more of the common stock the corporation (the “5% Override Rule”).

For purposes of being able to determine the persons who own 5% or more of a corporation’s stock (“5% Shareholders”) the Treasury regulations permit a corporation to rely on Schedule 13-D and Schedule 13-G filings with the Commission to identify persons who have a 5% or more beneficial interest in such corporation’s common stock. The Treasury regulations further provide that an investment company that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, will not be treated as a 5% Stockholder for such purposes.

It is possible that 5% Shareholders may own more than 50% of our common shares. In the event the 5% Override Rule is triggered, the Treasury regulations provide that the 5% Override Rule will nevertheless not apply if the Company can establish that within the group of 5% Shareholders, there are sufficient 5% Shareholders that are considered to be “qualified shareholders” for purposes of Section 883 of the Code to preclude non-qualified 5% Shareholders in the closely-held group from owning 50% or more of the corporation’s common stock for more than half the number of days during the taxable year. To establish this exception to the 5% Override Rule, 5% Shareholders owning a sufficient number of our common shares would have to provide the Corporation with certain information in order to substantiate their status as qualified shareholders. If 5% Shareholders were to own more than 50% of our common shares, there is no assurance that we would be able to satisfy the foregoing requirements.

Additionally, we intend to take the position that the pre-funded warrants are a separate class of stock for purposes of the Publicly-Traded Test and that therefore the holders of pre-funded warrants will not be treated as owners of common shares for purposes of determining the percentage of common shares owned by a shareholder under the Closely-Held Rule. However, the precise application of these rules to the pre-funded warrants is unclear and the IRS may disagree with this position.

Due to the factual nature of the issues involved, there can be no assurance that we or any of our subsidiaries will qualify for the benefits of Section 883 of the Code for future taxable years.

Taxation in Absence of Exemption

If the benefits of Section 883 of the Code are unavailable for any taxable year, the Company’s U.S. source shipping income, to the extent not considered to be “effectively connected” with the conduct of a United States trade or business, as described below, will be subject to a 4% tax imposed by Section 887 of the Code on a gross basis, without the benefit of deductions (“4% gross basis tax regime”). Since under the sourcing rules described above, no more than 50% of our shipping income is treated as being derived from United States sources, the maximum effective rate of United States federal income tax on our shipping income will not exceed 2% under the 4% gross basis tax regime.

To the extent the benefits of the Section 883 of the Code are unavailable and the Company’s U.S. source shipping income is considered to be “effectively connected” with the conduct of a United States trade or business, as described below, any such “effectively connected” U.S. source shipping income, net of applicable deductions, would be subject to the United States federal corporate income tax currently imposed at a rate of 21%. In addition, the Company may be subject to the 30% United States federal “branch profits” taxes on earnings effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business, as determined after allowance for certain adjustments, and on certain interest paid or deemed paid attributable to the conduct of such United States trade or business.

The Company’s U.S. source shipping income would be considered “effectively connected” with the conduct of a United States trade or business only if:

· The Company has, or is considered to have, a fixed place of business in the United States involved in the earning of shipping income; and

· Substantially all of the Company’s U.S. source shipping income is attributable to regularly scheduled transportation, such as the operation of a vessel that follows a published schedule with repeated sailings at regular intervals between the same points for voyages that begin or end in the United States.

90

The Company does not intend to have, or permit circumstances that would result in having, any vessel operating to the United States on a regularly scheduled basis. Based on the foregoing and on the expected mode of the Company’s shipping operations and other activities, the Company believes that none of its U.S. source shipping income will be “effectively connected” with the conduct of a United States trade or business.

United States Taxation of Gain on Sale of Vessels

Regardless of whether the Company qualifies for exemption under Section 883 of the Code, the Company will not be subject to United States federal income taxation with respect to gain realized on a sale of a vessel, provided the sale is considered to occur outside of the United States under United States federal income tax principles. In general, a sale of a vessel will be considered to occur outside of the United States for this purpose if title to the vessel, and risk of loss with respect to the vessel, pass to the buyer outside of the United States. It is expected that any sale of a vessel by the Company will be considered to occur outside of the United States.

United States Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders

Allocation of Purchase Price and Characterization of a Unit

No statutory, administrative or judicial authority directly addresses the treatment of a Unit or instruments similar to a Unit for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, therefore, that treatment is not entirely clear. The acquisition of a Unit should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the acquisition of one common share or one pre-funded warrant and one Class B Warrant. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each holder of a Unit must allocate the purchase price paid by such holder for such Unit between the common share or pre-funded warrant and Class B Warrant based on the relative fair market value of each at the time of issuance. Under U.S. federal income tax law, each investor must make his or her own determination of such value based on all the relevant facts and circumstances. Therefore, we strongly urge each investor to consult his or her tax adviser regarding the determination of value for these purposes. The price allocated to each common share or pre-funded warrant and each Class B Warrant should be the shareholder’s tax basis in such share or pre-funded warrant and each Class B Warrant, as the case may be. Any disposition of a Unit should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a disposition of the common share or pre-funded warrant and Class B Warrant comprising the Unit, and the amount realized on the disposition should be allocated between the common share or pre-funded warrant and Class B Warrant based on their respective relative fair market values at the time of disposition (as determined by each such Unit holder based on all relevant facts and circumstances). The separation of the common share or pre-funded warrant and the Class B Warrant comprising a Unit should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The foregoing treatment of the common shares, pre-funded warrants and Class B Warrants and a holder’s purchase price allocation are not binding on the IRS or the courts. Because there are no authorities that directly address instruments that are similar to the Units, no assurance can be given that the IRS or the courts will agree with the characterization described above or the discussion below. Accordingly, each prospective investor is urged to consult its own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of an investment in a Unit (including alternative characterizations of a Unit). The balance of this discussion assumes that the characterization of the Units described above is respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Tax Treatment of the Pre-Funded Warrants

We believe that our pre-funded warrants should be treated as our common shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes, rather than as warrants. Assuming this position is upheld, upon the exercise of a pre-funded warrant, the holding period of a pre-funded warrant should carry over to the common share received. Similarly, no gain or loss should be recognized upon the exercise of a pre-funded warrant and the tax basis of a pre-funded warrant should carry over to the common share received upon exercise, increased by the exercise price of $0.01 per share.

In the event that the exercise price or conversion ratio of pre-funded warrants is adjusted as a result of an action affecting the common shares, such as a dividend being paid on the common shares, a U.S. Holder may be treated as receiving a distribution from OceanPal Inc. Such deemed distributions may be treated as a dividend and may be eligible for preferential tax rates, as described in the next section below.

91

However, our position is not binding on the IRS and the IRS may treat the pre-funded warrants as warrants to acquire our common shares. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the pre-funded warrants. The following discussion assumes our pre-funded warrants are properly treated as our common shares.

Taxation of Distributions Paid on Common Shares

Subject to the passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, rules discussed below, any distributions made by us with respect to common shares to a U.S. Holder will generally constitute dividends, which may be taxable as ordinary income or “qualified dividend income” as described in more detail below, to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of our earnings and profits will be treated first as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in his common shares on a dollar-for-dollar basis and thereafter as capital gain. Because we are not a U.S. corporation, U.S. Holders that are corporations will generally not be entitled to claim a dividends-received deduction with respect to any distributions they receive from us.

Dividends paid on common shares to a U.S. Holder which is an individual, trust, or estate (a “U.S. Non-Corporate Holder”) will generally be treated as “qualified dividend income” that is taxable to such shareholders at preferential U.S. federal income tax rates provided that (1) the common shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States (such as NASDAQ on which the common shares are currently listed); (2) we are not a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for the taxable year during which the dividend is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year (which we do not believe we are or have been, and do not expect to be); (3) the U.S. Non-Corporate Holder has owned the common shares for more than 60 days in the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the date on which the common shares become ex-dividend; and (4) certain other conditions are met.

Any dividends paid by us which are not eligible for these preferential rates will be taxed as ordinary income to a U.S. Holder.

Special rules may apply to any “extraordinary dividend”-generally, a dividend in an amount which is equal to or in excess of 10% of a shareholder’s adjusted basis in a common share-paid by us. If we pay an “extraordinary dividend” on our common shares that is treated as “qualified dividend income,” then any loss derived by a U.S. Non-Corporate Holder from the sale or exchange of such common shares will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of such dividend.

Sale, Exchange or other Disposition of Common Shares Pre-Funded and Warrants

Assuming we do not constitute a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of our common shares or warrants in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized by the U.S. Holder from such sale, exchange or other disposition and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such shares or warrants. Such gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the common shares or warrants is greater than one year at the time of the sale, exchange or other disposition. A U.S. Holder’s ability to deduct capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Class B Warrants

Neither we nor a U.S. Holder of a Class B Warrant will recognize gain or loss as a result of the U.S. Holder’s receipt of our common shares upon exercise of a Class B Warrant. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares received will be an amount equal to the sum of (i) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class B Warrant exercised and (ii) the amount of the exercise price for the Class B Warrant. If the Class B Warrants lapse without being exercised, the U.S. Holder will recognize capital loss in the amount equal to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class B Warrants. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for common shares received upon exercise of a Class B Warrant will commence on the date the Class B Warrant is exercised.

The exercise price of a Class B Warrant is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. If an adjustment increases a proportionate interest of the holder of a Class B Warrant in the fully diluted common shares without proportionate adjustments to the holders of our common shares, U.S. Holder of the Class B Warrants may be treated as having received a constructive distribution, which may be taxable to the U.S. Holder as a dividend.

92

Certain Marshall Islands Tax Law Considerations

The Company is incorporated in the Marshall Islands. Under current Marshall Islands law, the Company is not subject to tax on income or capital gains, and no Marshall Islands withholding tax will be imposed upon payments of dividends by us to our shareholders. Nor will there be any Marshall Islands withholding taxes imposed on the distribution of the common stock.

THE FOREGOING SUMMARY DOES NOT DISCUSS ALL ASPECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF ACQUIRING OR HOLDING THE COMPANY’S COMMON SHARES.

Placement Agent Fees, Commissions and Expenses

Upon the closing of this offering, we will pay the Placement Agent a cash transaction fee equal to 7.5% of the aggregate gross cash proceeds to us from the sale of the securities in the offering. In addition, we will reimburse the Placement Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this offering, including the fees and expenses of the counsel for the Placement Agent, up to $75,000.

This figure includes the Placement Agent’s accountable expenses, including, but not limited to, legal fees for Placement Agent’s legal counsel, that we have agreed to pay at the closing of the offering up to an aggregate expense reimbursement of $75,000.

Lock-Up Agreements

We, each of our officers and directors, and holder(s) of ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding common stock as of the date of this prospectus have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock for a period of      days after this offering is completed without the prior written consent of the Placement Agent.

The Placement Agent may in its sole discretion and at any time without notice release some or all of the shares subject to lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the lock-up period. When determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, the Placement Agent will consider, among other factors, the security holder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.

94

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify the Placement Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the Placement Agent may be required to make for these liabilities.

Other Compensation

If within twelve months following the consummation of this offering, we complete any equity, equity-linked, convertible or debt or other capital-raising activity of the Company for which the Placement Agent is not acting as underwriter or placement agent (other than the exercise by any person or entity of any options, warrants or other convertible securities) with any of the investors that were contacted, introduced or participated in this offering (excluding any investors that either held securities of the Company prior to the Closing or that were introduced by the Company to the Placement Agent), then the Company shall pay to the Placement Agent a commission as described in this section, in each case only with respect to the portion of such financing received from such investors.

Regulation M

The Placement Agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the resale of the securities sold by it while acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an underwriter, the Placement Agent would be required to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of our securities by the Placement Agent acting as principal. Under these rules and regulations, the Placement Agent (i) may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities and (ii) may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until it has completed its participation in the distribution.

Electronic Distribution

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by the Placement Agent. In connection with the offering, the Placement Agent or selected dealers may distribute prospectuses electronically. No forms of electronic prospectus other than prospectuses that are printable as Adobe® PDF will be used in connection with this offering.

Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the Placement Agent’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by the Placement Agent is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the Placement Agent in its capacity as placement agent and should not be relied upon by investors.

Certain Relationships

The Placement Agent and its affiliates have and may in the future provide, from time to time, investment banking and financial advisory services to us in the ordinary course of business, for which they may receive customary fees and commissions. The Placement Agent acted as the sole underwriter in connection with our public offering that we consummated in January 2022, for which it received compensation.

Israel. This document does not constitute a prospectus under the Israeli Securities Law, 5728-1968, or the Securities Law, and has not been filed with or approved by the Israel Securities Authority.

Qualified investors will be required to submit written confirmation that they fall within the scope of the Addendum, are aware of the meaning of same and agree to it.

96

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES AND INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

We have obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance against any liability asserted against such person incurred in the capacity of director or officer or arising out of such status, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person.

OceanPal Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Furthermore, most of our directors and officers, and experts reside outside the United States, and most of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, you may find it difficult to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce outside the United States judgments obtained against us or these persons in U.S. courts, including judgments in actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws, or to otherwise bring original actions in foreign courts to enforce such liabilities. Likewise, it may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against us or these persons in courts located in jurisdictions outside the United States, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Although you may bring an original or derivative action against us or our affiliates in the courts of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the courts of the Republic of the Marshall Islands may impose civil liability, including monetary damages, against us or our affiliates for a cause of action arising under Republic of the Marshall Islands law, it may impracticable for you to do so. For example, the following requirements must be met for the recognition and enforceability of a foreign judgment by courts outside the United States:

Republic of the Marshall Islands

A judgment obtained in a foreign jurisdiction would be recognized unless (1) the judgment was rendered under a system which does not provide impartial tribunals or procedures compatible with the requirements of due process of law; (2) the foreign court did not have personal jurisdiction over the defendant; (3) the foreign court did not have jurisdiction over the subject matter; or (4) the foreign country does not recognize or enforce judgments of any other foreign nation. In addition, a foreign judgment need not be recognized if (1) the defendant in the proceedings in the foreign court did not receive notice of the proceedings in sufficient time to enable him to defend; (2) the judgment was obtained by fraud; (3) the cause of action on which the judgment is based is repugnant to the public policy of the Republic of the Marshall Islands; (4) the judgment conflicts with another final and conclusive judgment; (5) the proceeding in the foreign court was contrary to an agreement between the parties under which the dispute in question was to be settled otherwise than by proceedings in the court; or (6) in the case of jurisdiction based only on personal service, the foreign court was a seriously inconvenient forum for the trial of the action. If none of the above grounds exist then the Republic of the Marshall Islands High Court will enforce a foreign judgment without a retrial on the merits. Further, the Republic of the Marshall Islands is a signatory to the New York Convention on Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six month period ended June 30, 2022 and for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars — except share, per share and warrants data, unless otherwise stated)

1.Basis of Presentation and General Information

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. (the “Company”, or “OceanPal”, or “OP”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). OP was incorporated by Diana Shipping Inc. (“Diana Shipping” or “DSI”) on April 15, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, having a share capital of 500 shares, par value $0.01 per share, issued to DSI (Note 3 (c)). In November 2021, the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws were amended. Under the amended articles of incorporation, the Company’s authorized share capital increased from 500 common shares to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock at par value $0.01 and 100,000,000 preferred stock at par value $0.01.

On June 24, 2021, OP filed a confidential registration statement on Form 20-F with the US Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to effect a spin-off of three of DSI’s vessel owning subsidiaries together with working capital in exchange of common and preferred stock to DSI and its’ shareholders (the “Spin-Off”) (Note 3 (c)). On November 29, 2021 the registration statement was declared effective. On November 30, 2021, OP began “regular way” trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “OP”.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2022 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

The comparative unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been presented for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021. They include only the accounts of OceanPal Inc. from inception date April 15, 2021 through June 30, 2021, as the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries have been consolidated from November 30, 2021 (i.e. upon the Spin-Off consummation and the acquisition of the three ship-owning subsidiaries by the Company) when the operation of the Company’s vessels started. Operations prior to the November 30, 2021 consisted principally of organizational expenses.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company operates its own fleet through Diana Wilhelmsen Management Limited (or “DWM”) (Note 3(a)) and Steamship Shipbroking Enterprises Inc. (or “Steamship”) (Note 3(b)).

Uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russo-Ukrainian conflict: The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international shipping industry into which the Company operates. As of June 30, 2022, the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus continues to unfold.

Additionally, the recent conflict between Russia and the Ukraine, since February 2022, has disrupted supply chains and caused instability in the energy markets and the global economy, which have experienced significant volatility. Several countries announced sanctions against Russia, including sanctions targeting the Russian oil sector, among those a prohibition on the import of oil and coal from Russia, and may impose wider sanctions and take other actions in the future. To date, no apparent consequences have been identified on the Company’s business, or counterparties, by COVID-19 and the conflict in Ukraine and their implications. Currently, none of the Company’s contracts have been affected by the events in Russia and Ukraine.

Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, and as volatility continues, the full extent to which the COVID-19 global pandemic and/or the Russo-Ukrainian war may have direct or indirect impact on the industry and on the Company’s business is difficult to be predicted, whereas it is possible that in the future third parties with whom the Company has or will have contracts may be impacted by such events and sanctions. The related financial reporting implications cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, although they could materially affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition in the future. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change in future periods. The overall impact on the Company’s business, and the efficacy of any measures the Company takes in response to the challenges presented by these geopolitical events, will depend on how those events will further develop, the duration and extent of the restrictive measures that are associated with such events and their impact on global economy and trade, which is still uncertain. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as its charterers’ and other counterparties’ response to the market and continuously evaluates the effect on its operations.

2.Significant Accounting Policies – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the audited consolidated financial statements for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021, as filed on Form 20-F on April 6, 2022. There have been no material changes to these policies in the six month period ended June 30, 2022, except for as discussed below:

Significant accounting policies:

a) Distinguishing liabilities from equity: The Company follows the provisions of ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” to determine the classification of certain freestanding financial instruments as either liabilities or equity. The Company in its assessment for the accounting of the Class A and the prefunded warrants issued in connection with the January 2022 underwritten public offering (Note 6), has taken into consideration ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” and determined that the aforementioned warrants are out of the scope of ASC 480, hence should be classified as equity instead of liability. The Company further analyzed key features of the warrants to determine whether these are more akin to equity or to debt and concluded that the warrants are equity-like. In its assessment, the Company identified certain embedded features, examined whether these fall under the definition of a derivative according to ASC 815 applicable guidance or whether certain of these features affected the classification. Derivative accounting was deemed inappropriate and thus no bifurcation of these features was performed. Upon exercise of the warrants, the holder is entitled to receive common shares.

b) Share Based Payments: The Company issues restricted share awards which are measured at their grant date fair value and are not subsequently re-measured. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Forfeitures of awards

are accounted for when and if they occur. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars — except share, per share and warrants data, unless otherwise stated)

Preferred Stock or the Series C Preferred Stock to its shareholders in connection with the Spin-Off and the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock are non-transferable. The transaction was approved unanimously by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Pursuant to the Contribution and Conveyance agreement dated on November 8, 2021, as amended and restated on November 17, 2021, entered between the Company and DSI, DSI has indemnified the Company and the three vessel-owning subsidiaries discussed in Note 1 above for any and all obligations and other liabilities arising from or relating to the operation, management or employment of the Company’s vessels prior to the effective date of the Spin-Off (November 29, 2021). Additionally, pursuant to a Right of First Refusal agreement entered with DSI, dated November 8, 2021, the Company has been granted a right of first refusal over six identified drybulk carriers owned by DSI, effective as of the consummation of the Spin-Off. According to this right of first refusal, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase one or all of the six identified vessels when and if DSI determines to sell the vessels at fair market value at the time of sale. Pursuant to this right of first refusal, the Company, through one newly wholly-owned subsidiary, entered on June 13, 2022 into a Memorandum of Agreement with DSI, to acquire the Capesize M/V Baltimore. (Note 4 and 9(d)). Furthermore, the Company as of November 2, 2021, has entered into a Non-Competition agreement with DSI pursuant to which DSI has agreed not to compete with the Company for vessel acquisition or chartering opportunities to the extent that such acquisition or chartering opportunities are suitable for the Company or one of the Company’s vessels.

The Spin-Off was accounted for at fair values. The aggregate fair value of $46,040 of the three vessels contributed to the Company on November 29, 2021, was determined through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy by taking into consideration third party valuations which were based on the last done deals of sale of vessels with similar characteristics, such as type, size and age at the specific dates (Note 4). The fair value of other assets contributed to the Company, mainly comprising from lubricating oils and bunkers, approximated their respective carrying value. Series B preferred Stock, which has no economic interest, is recorded at par amounting to $5 and Series C preferred Stock has been recorded at a fair value of $7,570 determined based on valuation obtained by an independent third party for the purposes of the Spin-Off.

5.Commitments and Contingencies

a) Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. The Company accrues for the cost of environmental and other liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. The Company’s vessels are covered for pollution in the amount of $1 billion per vessel per incident, by the P&I Association in which the Company’s vessels are entered. The Company’s vessels are subject to calls payable to their P&I Association and may be subject to supplemental calls which are based on estimates of premium income and anticipated and paid claims. Such estimates are adjusted each year by the Board of Directors of the P&I Association until the closing of the relevant policy year, which generally occurs within three years from the end of the policy year. Supplemental calls, if any, are expensed when they are announced and according to the period they relate to. The Company is not aware of any supplemental calls outstanding in respect of any policy year.

b) As at June 30, 2022, two of the Company’s vessels were fixed under time charter agreements, considered as operating leases accounted for as per ASC 842 requirements, while one vessel was not chartered. The minimum contractual gross charter revenues expected to be generated from fixed and non-cancelable time charter contracts existing as at June 30, 2022 and until their expiration falling within 2022 is estimated at $5,058.

c) As discussed in Notes 3 and 4, in June 13, 2022, the Company entered into a memorandum of agreement, to acquire from DSI the Capesize vessel Baltimore. As at June 30, 2022, the remaining balance to be paid under the contract was $17,600 and was settled in September 21, 2022, upon vessel’s delivery to the new owners through the Company’s newly issued Series D preferred stock (Note 9(d)).

6.Capital Stock and Changes in Capital Accounts

i) Receipt of Nasdaq Notice: On March 8, 2022, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares for 30 consecutive business days, i.e. from January 21, 2022 to March 7, 2022, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the original applicable grace period to regain compliance was 180 days, or until September 5, 2022. On September 6, 2022, the Company was granted an additional 180-day period from the Nasdaq Stock Market, through March 6, 2023, to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

At the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 5, 2022, it was approved by the Company’s shareholders that, subject to approval and implementation by the Company’s board of directors, the Company may effect one or more reverse stock splits on its issued shares of common stock, each at a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-10 and in the aggregate at a ratio of not more than one-for-40.

ii) Underwritten Public Offering: On January 12, 2022, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-1, which was declared effective on January 20, 2022. On January 25, 2022, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 15,571,429 units at a price of $0.77 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock (or one pre-funded warrant in lieu of one share of the Company’s common stock) and one Class A warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock and was immediately separated upon issuance. In particular, upon the closing of the offering, 13,071,429 shares of common stock, 2,500,000 prefunded warrants to purchase one share of common stock, and 15,571,429 Class A warrants to purchase one share of common stock were sold.

As such, certain selling shareholders sold an aggregate of 628,571 shares of common stock in the offering. Each of the 628,751 shares of common stock sold by the selling shareholders on the primary offering was delivered to the underwriters with one additional Class A warrant to purchase one share of common stock (sold by the Company), on a firm commitment basis. In addition, the underwriter for the offering fully-exercised its option to purchase an additional 1,148,577 common shares sold from the selling shareholders and 1,281,423 common shares along with 2,430,000 Class A warrants sold from the Company (Note 6(b)). Each of the 1,148,577 shares of common stock sold by the selling shareholders upon exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, was sold with one Class A warrant (sold by the Company) to purchase one share of common stock, on a firm commitment basis. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common shares by the selling shareholders and only received the proceeds for the class A warrants sold together with the selling shareholders’ shares of common stock (i.e. 1,777,148 class A warrants in aggregate). As at June 30, 2022, following also the exercise of 4,156,000 Class A warrants and all prefunded warrants, discussed in Note 6(b) below, the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was 29,829,092 common shares. The net proceeds received during the six month period ended June 30, 2022, under the Underwritten Public Offering, including the exercise of Class A and prefunded warrants discussed in Note 6(b) below and after deducting underwriting commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company, amounted to $14,678.

The Class A warrants were immediately exercisable and expire in five years from issuance, i.e. in January 2027. The Company may at any time during the term of its Class A warrants reduce the then current exercise price of each warrant to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company, subject to terms disclosed in each warrants’ agreements. The Class A warrants also contain a cashless exercise provision, whereby if at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement, then the Class A warrants can be exercised by means of a cashless exercise as disclosed in the warrants’ agreements. All Class A warrants are classified in equity, according to the Company’s significant accounting policy. Based on the terms of the Class A warrants’ agreement, each holder of the Class A warrants is, at any time after the issuance of the warrants, entitled to participate in distribution of dividends by the Company, if and when declared, to the same extent that the holder would participate for each common share that such holder would be entitled to receive upon complete exercise of their Class A warrants (Note 6(e)).

(c) Series C Preferred Stock: As at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding with par value $0.01 per share, while as at June 30, 2022, additional 1,982 shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been granted (but not yet issued) under the Company’s amended and restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (Note 6(d)), at a stated value of $1,000 per share with liquidation preference at $1,000. The Series C Preferred

On June 21, 2022, the Company paid a dividend of $299 on common stock and of $144 on Class A warrants holders of record June 14, 2022, amounting to $443 in aggregate (Note 7).

7.Loss per Share

All common stock issued (including any restricted shares issued under the Company’s equity incentive plan, or else) are the Company’s common stock and have equal rights to vote and participate in dividends, subject to forfeiture provisions as set forth in the respective stock award agreements, as applicable. Furthermore, Class A warrants are entitled to receive dividends which are not

refundable, and therefore are considered participating securities for basic earnings per share calculation purposes. Class A warrants do not participate in losses. For the six month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company declared and paid aggregate cash dividends to its common and Class A warrants’ holders of $1,790 and $868, respectively. No dividends were declared during the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021. For the six month period ended June 30, 2022, the calculation of basic earnings/(loss) per share does not treat the non-vested shares (not considered participating securities) as outstanding until the time/service-based vesting restriction has lapsed. Incremental shares are the number of shares assumed issued under the treasury stock method weighted for the periods the non-vested shares were outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from conversion of outstanding Series C preferred convertible stock calculated with the “if converted” method. The dilutive effect of share-based compensation arrangements (following assumed conversion of Series C preferred stock to common under the “if converted method”) and Class A warrants is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes that the “proceeds” upon exercise of these awards or warrants are used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period. No incremental shares were calculated from the application of the treasury stock method for i) the Class A warrants and ii) the share-based compensation arrangements (following assumed conversion of Series C preferred stock to common under the “if converted method”) and the “if converted” method for the Series C convertible preferred stock as the Company incurred losses and the effect of such shares was anti-dilutive. There were no dilutive shares for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021.

Also, loss attributable to common equity holders is adjusted by the amount of dividends on Series C Preferred Stock and dividends on Class A warrants as follows:

8.Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures

Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The ability and willingness of each of the Company’s counterparties to perform their obligations under a contract depend upon a number of factors that are beyond the Company’s control and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the state of the capital markets, the condition of the shipping industry and charter hire rates. The Company’s credit risk with financial institutions is limited as it has temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, placed with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and by receiving payments of hire in advance. The Company, generally, does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

9.Subsequent Events

(a) Series C Preferred Stock Dividend: On July 14, 2022, the Company paid a dividend on its Series C preferred stock, amounting to $240. On September 19, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $240 to the Company’s Series C preferred stock holders for the period from July 15, 2022 to October 14, 2022, which is payable on October 17, 2022.

The Company had 29,829,092 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the record date (August 12, 2022). Holders of the Company’s Class A warrants as of August 12, 2022 received a cash payment in the amount of $0.01 for each common share that such holder would be entitled to receive upon exercise of their Class A Warrants. As of record date August 12, 2022, there were Class A Warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 14,474,000 common shares. On August 31, 2022, the Company paid a dividend of $299 on common stock and of $144 on Class A warrants holders of record August 12, 2022, amounting to $443 in aggregate.

The Company can cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock is $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. During this time, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

(d) Vessel Delivery and Issuance of Preferred Stock: On September 20, 2022, the Company took delivery of the M/V Baltimore. On September 21, 2022 the Company paid the remaining of the purchase price (i.e. $17,600) in 25,000 shares of its newly issued 7.0% Series D convertible perpetual preferred shares.

As part of this transaction, the Company also entered into an agreement with Diana Shipping, providing the right to Diana Shipping to request that the Company effects a listing of the Series D Preferred Stock, provided that Diana Shipping then owns at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock. This listing right expires upon the earlier of (i) the date on which Diana Shipping is no longer the registered owner of any shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock and (ii) the second anniversary of September 21, 2022 (original issuance date of Series D Preferred Stock).

(e) Series D Preferred Stock Dividend: On September 27, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $117 to the Company’s Series D preferred stock holders for the period from September 21, 2022 to October 14, 2022, which is payable on October 17, 2022.

1.Basis of Presentation and General Information

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. (the “Company”, or “OceanPal”, or “OP”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). OP was incorporated by Diana Shipping Inc. (“Diana Shipping” or “DSI”) on April 15, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, having a share capital of 500 shares, par value $0.01 per share, issued to DSI (Note 3 (c)). In November 2021, the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws were amended. Under the amended articles of incorporation, the Company’s authorized share capital increased from 500 common shares to 1,000,000,000 common stock at par value $0.01 and 100,000,000 preferred stock at par value $0.01.

On June 24, 2021, OP filed a confidential registration statement on Form 20-F with the US Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to effect a spin-off of three of DSI’s vessel owning subsidiaries together with working capital in exchange of common and preferred stock to DSI and its’ shareholders (the “Spin-Off”) (Note 3 (c)). On November 29, 2021 the registration statement was declared effective. On November 30, 2021, OP began “regular way” trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “OP”.

The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of vessels. Each of the vessels is owned through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company is the sole owner of all outstanding shares of the following subsidiaries:

● Cypres Enterprises Corp., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on September 7, 2000, owner of the 2004 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Protefs,

● Darien Compania Armadora S.A., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on December 22, 1993, owner of the 2005 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Calipso, and

● Marfort Navigation Company Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus on August 10, 2007, owner of the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Salt Lake City.

The Company operates its own fleet through Diana Wilhelmsen Management Limited (or “DWM”) (Note 3(a)) and Steamship Shipbroking Enterprises Inc. (or “Steamship”) (Note 3(b)).

Financial Statements presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been presented for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021. They include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. from inception date April 15, 2021 and the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries from November 30, 2021 upon the Spin-Off consummation and acquisition of the three ship-owning subsidiaries by the Company. No comparatives are presented, as the Spin-Off has been accounted for as a nonmonetary transfer of assets rather than a spin-off of a business.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international shipping industry into which the Company operates. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, the full extent to which the COVID-19 global pandemic may have direct or indirect impact on the Company’s business and the related financial reporting implications cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, although it could materially affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition in the future. As of December 31, 2021, the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus continues to unfold. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change in future periods. The overall impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, and the efficacy of any measures the Company takes in response to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, will depend on how the outbreak further develops, the duration and extent of the restrictive measures that are associated with the pandemic and their impact on global economy and trade, which is still uncertain. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as its charterers’ response to the severe market disruption via cost cutting and rationalization

of their networks and fleets, and is making necessary preparations to address and mitigate, to the extent possible, the impact of COVID-19 to the Company.

2.Significant Accounting Policies

a)Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 “Consolidation”, the Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest, by first considering if an entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary under the VIE model, or if the Company controls an entity through a majority of voting interest based on the voting interest model. The Company evaluates financial instruments, service contracts, and other arrangements to determine if any variable interests relating to an entity exist. The Company’s evaluation did not result in an identification of variable interest entities as of December 31, 2021.

b)Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

c)Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss): The Company has no other comprehensive income/(loss) and accordingly comprehensive income equals net income for the period presented.

d)Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar because the Company’s vessels operate in international shipping markets, and therefore primarily transact business in U.S. dollars. The Company’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in other currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are reflected separately in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

e)Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers highly liquid investments such as time deposits, certificates of deposit and their equivalents with an original maturity of up to about three months to be cash equivalents.

f)Accounts Receivable, Trade: The amount shown as accounts receivable, trade, at each balance sheet date, includes receivables from charterers for hire from lease agreements, net of provisions for doubtful accounts, if any. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. The Company assessed its accounts receivable, trade and its credit risk relating to its charterers, following the outbreak of the COVID-19 and the effect that this could have on its accounts. No provision for doubtful accounts was established as of December 31, 2021.

g)Inventories: Inventories consist of lubricants and victualling which are stated, on a consistent basis, at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized as a loss in earnings in the period in which it occurs. Cost is determined by the first in, first out method. Amounts removed from inventory are also determined by the first in first out method. Inventories may also consist of bunkers when on the balance sheet date a vessel is without employment, or remains idle. Bunkers, if any, are also stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and cost is determined by the first in, first out method.

h)Vessels, net: Vessels are stated at cost which consists of the contract price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition or during construction. Expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise these amounts are charged to

F-8

OCEANPAL INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2021

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars — except share, per share data, unless otherwise stated)

expense as incurred. As at balance sheet date, vessels are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation expense and impairment charge, if any.

i)Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, potential sales and other business plans) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When the estimate of undiscounted projected net operating cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of an asset over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment loss. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, determined mainly by third party valuations.

For vessels, the Company calculates undiscounted projected net operating cash flows by considering the historical and estimated vessels’ performance and utilization with the significant assumption being future charter rates for the unfixed days, using the most recent 10 year average of historical 1 year time charter rates available for each type of vessel over the remaining estimated life of each vessel, net of commissions. Other assumptions used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flow are charter rates calculated for the fixed days using the fixed charter rate of each vessel from existing time charters, the expected outflows for scheduled vessels’ maintenance; vessel operating expenses; fleet utilization, and the vessels’ residual value if sold for scrap. This calculation is then compared with the vessels’ net book value plus unamortized dry-docking costs. The difference between the carrying amount of the vessel plus unamortized dry-docking costs and their fair value is recognized in the Company’s accounts as impairment loss. No impairment loss was identified or recorded in 2021.

j)Vessel Depreciation: Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated salvage (scrap) value. Each vessel’s salvage value is equal to the product of its lightweight tonnage and estimated scrap rate. Management estimates the useful life of the Company’s vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Second hand vessels are depreciated from the date of their acquisition through their remaining estimated useful life. When regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its remaining useful life is adjusted at the date such regulations are adopted.

k)Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs: The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking costs whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next dry-docking is scheduled to become due. Unamortized dry-docking costs of vessels that are sold or impaired are written off and included in the calculation of the resulting gain or loss in the year of the vessel’s sale or impairment.

l)Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

m)Accounting for Revenues and Expenses: Revenues are generated from time charter agreements which contain a lease as they meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842. Agreements with the same charterer are accounted for as separate agreements according to their specific terms and conditions. All agreements contain a minimum non-cancellable period and an extension period at the option of the charterer. Each lease term is assessed at the inception of that lease. Under a time charter agreement, the charterer pays a daily hire for the use of the vessel and reimburses the owner for hold cleanings, extra insurance premiums for navigating in restricted areas and damages caused by the charterers. The charterer pays to third parties port, canal and bunkers consumed during the term of the time charter agreement. Such costs are considered direct costs and are not recorded as they are directly paid by charterers, unless they are for the account of the owner, in which case they are included in voyage expenses. The Company incurs voyage expenses such as commissions, bunkers (fuel oil and diesel oil), and port expenses relating to owners’ matters. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are purchased by the charterer and sold back to the Company on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss, result when a vessel is redelivered by a charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different bunker prices, or quantities. For the period from November 30, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred gain on bunkers amounting to

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars — except share, per share data, unless otherwise stated)

$63, resulting mainly from the difference in the value of bunkers paid by the Company when the vessel is redelivered to the Company from the charterer under the vessel’s previous time charter agreement and the value of bunkers sold by the Company when the vessel is delivered to a new charterer. This gain in included in “Voyage expenses” in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Under a time charter agreement, the owner pays for the operation and the maintenance of the vessel, including crew, insurance, spares and repairs, which are recognized in operating expenses. Revenues from time charter agreements providing for varying annual rates are accounted for as operating leases and thus recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable rental periods of such agreements, as service is performed. Deferred revenue includes cash received prior to the balance sheet date for which all criteria to recognize as revenue have not been met. The Company, as lessor, has elected not to allocate the consideration in the agreement to the separate lease and non-lease components (operation and maintenance of the vessel) as their timing and pattern of transfer to the charterer, as the lessee, are the same and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, the lease component is considered the predominant component as the Company has assessed that more value is ascribed to the vessel rather than to the services provided under the time charter contracts. The majority of the vessels are employed on short to medium-term time charter contracts, which provides flexibility in responding to market developments. The Company monitors developments in the dry bulk shipping industry on a regular basis and adjusts the charter hire periods for the vessels according to prevailing market conditions.

n)Repairs and Maintenance: All repair and maintenance expenses including underwater inspection expenses are expensed in the year incurred. Such costs are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

o)Earnings / (loss) per Common Share: Basic earnings / (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income / (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised. For purposes of the if-converted calculation, the conversion price of preferred convertible stock is based on the end of the period market price when the conversion price is fixed or on the average market price when the number of shares that may be issued is variable.

p)Segmental Reporting: The Company engages in the operation of dry-bulk vessels which has been identified as one reportable segment. The operation of the vessels is the main source of revenue generation, the services provided by the vessels are similar and they all operate under the same economic environment. Additionally, the vessels do not operate in specific geographic areas, as they trade worldwide; they do not trade in specific trade routes, as their trading (route and cargo) is dictated by the charterers; and the Company does not evaluate the operating results for each type of dry bulk vessel (i.e. Panamax or Capesize) for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance.

q)Fair Value Measurements: The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value and provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The guidance creates a fair value hierarchy of measurement and describes fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. In accordance with the requirements of accounting guidance relating to Fair Value Measurements, the Company classifies and discloses its assets and liabilities carried at the fair value in one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

r)Share Based Payments: The Company issues restricted share awards which are measured at their grant date fair value and are not subsequently re-measured. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award — the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Forfeitures of awards are accounted for when and if they occur. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

s)Going concern: The Company’s policy is in accordance with ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, issued in August 2014 by the FASB. ASU 2014-15 provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and on related required footnote disclosures. Management evaluates, at each reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

t)Financial Instruments, credit losses: At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its financial assets individually for credit losses and presents such assets in the net amount expected to be collected on such financial asset. When financial assets present similar risk characteristics, these are evaluated on a collective basis. When developing an estimate of expected credit losses the Company considers available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows such as internal information, past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. No credit losses were recorded in 2021.

u)Evaluation of Nonmonetary Transactions: When the Company enters into a nonmonetary transaction as defined broadly under ASC 845, it determines whether the transaction is a contribution of an asset or a business by assessing the definition of a business under ASC 805 and whether the transaction is pro-rata. A transaction is considered pro rata if each owner receives an ownership interest in the transferee in proportion to its existing ownership interest in the transferor (even if the transferor retains an ownership interest in the transferee). In accordance with FASB Topic 805 Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired in an acquisition transaction are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, then the set is not a business. To be considered a business, a set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create an output. All assets contributed under nonmonetary transactions that do not meet the definition of a business and include pro rata distributions, are measured at their fair values on the transaction date in accordance with ASC 845, if the fair value is objectively measurable and clearly realizable in an outright sale at or near the distribution.

New Accounting Pronouncements — Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 applies to contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be terminated because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in this Update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. An entity may elect certain optional expedients for hedging relationships that exist as of December 31, 2022 and maintain those optional expedients through the end of the hedging relationship. ASU 2020-04 can be adopted as of March 12, 2020. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU addresses the diversity in practice in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Under the guidance, an issuer determines the accounting for the modification or exchange based on whether the transaction was done to issue equity, to issue or modify debt or for other reasons. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but entities need to apply the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period in which they choose to early adopt

the guidance. The guidance is applied prospectively to all modifications or exchanges that occur on or after the date of adoption. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05 Leases (Topic 842): Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. The ASU amends the lessor lease classification guidance in ASC 842 for leases that include any amount of variable lease payments that are not based on an index or rate. If such a lease meets the criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2 through 25-3 for classification as either a sales-type or direct financing lease, and application of the sales-type or direct financing lease recognition guidance would result in recognition of a selling loss, then the amendments require the lessor to classify the lease as an operating lease. For public business entities that have adopted ASC 842 as of July 19, 2021, the amendments in ASU 2021-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

c)Diana Shipping Inc., or DSI: On November 29, 2021, the Company completed its Spin-Off from DSI. In connection with the Spin-Off, DSI contributed to the Company the three vessel-owning subsidiaries discussed in Note 1 above, together with $1,000 in working capital, whereas as of the same date, shareholders of DSI received one of the Company’s common shares for every 10 shares of DSI’s common stock owned at the close of business on November 3, 2021.

Preferred Stock”) (Note 6(c)) and 10,000 of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) (Note 6(d)). Series B Preferred Stock entitles Diana Shipping Inc. the right of 2,000 votes on all matters on which the Company’s shareholders are entitled to vote of up to 34% of the total number of votes entitled to vote on such matter, provided further that the aggregate voting power of any holder of Series B Preferred Stock, together with any affiliate of such holder, would not exceed 49% of the total number of votes that may be cast on any matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders. Series B preferred Stock has no economic rights. Series C preferred Stock does not have voting rights unless related to amendments of the Articles of Incorporation that adversely alter the preference, powers or rights of the Series C Preferred Stock or to issue parity stock or create or issue senior stock. Series C Preferred Stock, has a cumulative preferred dividend accruing at the rate of 8.0% per annum which may be paid in cash or, at the Company’s election, in kind and will contain a liquidation preference equal to its’ stated value of $1,000 and will be convertible into common shares at DSI’s option commencing upon the first anniversary of the original issue date (i.e. November 29, 2022), at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $6.50 and the 10-trading day trailing VWAP of the Company’s common shares, subject to certain adjustments. DSI will not distribute the Series B Preferred Stock or the Series C Preferred Stock to its shareholders in connection with the Spin-Off and the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock are non-transferable. The transaction was approved unanimously by the Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the Contribution and Conveyance agreement dated on November 8, 2021, as amended and restated on November 17, 2021, entered between the Company and DSI, DSI has indemnified the Company and the vessel-owning subsidiaries for any and all obligations and other liabilities arising from or relating to the operation, management or employment of the Company’s vessels prior to the effective date of the Spin-Off (November 29, 2021). Additionally, pursuant to a Right of First Refusal agreement entered with Diana Shipping Inc., dated November 8, 2021, the Company has been granted a right of first refusal over six identified drybulk carriers owned by DSI, effective as of the consummation of the Spin-Off. Pursuant to this right of first refusal, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase one or all of the six identified vessels when and if DSI determines to sell the vessels at fair market value at the time of sale. Furthermore, the Company as of November 2, 2021, has entered into a Non-Competition agreement with DSI pursuant to which DSI has agreed not to compete with the Company for vessel acquisition or chartering opportunities to the extent that such acquisition or chartering opportunities are suitable for the Company or one of the Company’s vessels.

The Spin-Off was accounted for at fair values. The aggregate fair value of $46,040 of the three vessels contributed to the Company was determined through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy by taking into consideration third party valuations which were based on the last done deals of sale of vessels with similar characteristics, such as type, size and age at the specific dates. The fair value of other assets contributed to the Company, mainly comprising from lubricating oils and bunkers, approximated their respective carrying value. Series B preferred Stock, which has no economic interest, is recorded at par amounting to $5 and Series C preferred Stock has been recorded at a fair value of $7,570 determined based on valuation obtained by an independent third party for the purposes of the Spin-Off. Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, there was an amount of $70 due from Diana Shipping Inc., included in “Due from a related party” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, resulting from amounts paid or received by DSI on behalf of OceanPal up to the date of the contribution.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

a)Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. The Company accrues for the cost of environmental and other liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. The Company’s vessels are covered for pollution in the amount of $1 billion per vessel per incident, by the P&I Association in which the Company’s vessels are entered. The Company’s vessels are subject to calls payable to their P&I Association and may be subject to supplemental calls which are based on estimates of premium income and anticipated and paid claims. Such estimates are adjusted each year by the Board of Directors of the P&I Association until the closing of the relevant policy year, which generally occurs within three years from the end of the policy year. Supplemental calls, if any, are expensed when they are announced and according to the period they relate to. The Company is not aware of any supplemental calls outstanding in respect of any policy year.

b)As at December 31, 2021, all of the Company’s vessels were fixed under time charter agreements, considered as operating leases accounted for as per ASC 842 requirements. The minimum contractual gross charter revenues expected to be generated from fixed and non-cancelable time charter contracts existing as at December 31, 2021 and until their expiration falling within 2022 is estimated at $2,657.

6.Capital Stock and Changes in Capital Accounts

a)Common Stock: As at April 15, 2021, the date of Company’s incorporation, the Company’s authorized share capital was 500 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued to DSI. On November 29, 2021, the Company’s articles of incorporation were amended and restated. Under the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation, the Company’s authorized common stock consists of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 8,820,240 shares were issued and outstanding on November 29, 2021, immediately upon the Spin-Off consummation (Note 3(c)). As at December 31, 2021, the Company’s authorized common stock is 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 8,820,240 shares are issued and outstanding (all shares of common stock in registered form) (Note 10 (a)).

b)Preferred Stock:  Under the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation, authorized preferred stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which (i) 1,000,000 shares are designated as Series A Participating Preferred Stock, none of which was issued and outstanding as of November 29, 2021, (ii) 500,000 shares are designated Series B Preferred Stock, all of which were issued and outstanding as of November 29, 2021, and (iii) 10,000 shares are designated Series C Preferred Stock, all of which were issued and outstanding as of November 29, 2021. All of the Company’s shares of preferred stock are in registered form. As at December 31, 2021, the Company’s authorized preferred stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 1,000,000 are designated as Series A Participating Preferred Stock, 500,000 are designated as Series B Preferred Stock and 10,000 are designated as Series C Preferred Stock (Notes 3(c), 6(c) and 6(d)). As of December 31, 2021, there is no Series A Participating Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
​

c)Series B Preferred Stock to Diana Shipping Inc.:  As at December 31, 2021, the Company had 500,000 Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding with par value $0.01 per share, issued to DSI. The Series B Preferred Stock votes with the common shares of the Company, and each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 2,000 votes on all matters on which the Company’s shareholders are entitled to vote of up to 34% of the total number of votes entitled to be cast for all matters for which

F-14

the Company’s shareholders are entitled to vote on, but with no economic rights. To the extent the aggregate voting power of any holder of Series B Preferred Stock, together with any affiliate of such holder, would exceed 49% of the total number of votes that may be cast on any matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, the number of votes of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be automatically reduced so that such holder’s aggregate voting power, together with any affiliate of such holder, is not more than 49%. Furthermore, the Series B Preferred Stock has no dividend, distribution or liquidation rights and cannot be transferred without the consent of the Company except to the holder’s affiliates or successors.

d)Series C Preferred Stock to Diana Shipping Inc.:  As at December 31, 2021, the Company had 10,000  shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding with par value $0.01 per share, at $1,000 per share with liquidation preference at $1,000. The Series C Preferred Stock has no voting rights except (1) in respect of amendments to the Articles of Incorporation which would adversely alter the preferences, powers or rights of the Series C Preferred Stock or (2) in the event that the Company proposes to issue any parity stock if the cumulative dividends payable on outstanding Series C Preferred Stock are in arrears or any senior stock. Also, holders of Series C preferred Stock, rank prior to (i) the holders of common shares, (ii) if issued, any Series A Participating Preferred Stock, and any Series B Preferred Stock and (iii) any other class or series of capital stock established after their original issuance date (i.e. November 29, 2021) with respect to dividends, distributions and payments upon liquidation. The Series C Preferred Stock has a cumulative preferred dividend accruing from the date of original issuance and are payable on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year at the dividend rate of 8.0% per annum, and is convertible into common shares at Diana Shipping’s option commencing upon the first anniversary of the original issue date, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $6.50 and the 10-trading day trailing VWAP of the common shares, subject to certain adjustments or at any time after the issuance date in case of any fundamental change (i.e. liquidation, change of control, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company). Diana Shipping, however, is prohibited from converting the Series C Preferred Stock into common shares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, Diana Shipping (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than 49% of the total outstanding common shares of the Company. The Company in its assessment for the accounting of the Series C Preferred Stock has taken into consideration ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” and determined that the preferred shares should be classified as equity instead of liability. The Company further analyzed key features of the Series C Preferred Stock to determine whether it is more akin to equity or to debt and concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock is equity-like. In its assessment, the Company identified certain embedded features, examined whether these fall under the definition of a derivative according to ASC 815 applicable guidance or whether certain of these features affected the classification. Derivative accounting was deemed inappropriate and thus no bifurcation of these features was performed. For 2021, dividends on Series C preferred stock amounted to $69.

e)Incentive plan:On November 2, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors has approved and the Company has as of November 29, 2021, adopted the Equity Incentive Plan for 1,000,000 common shares, none of which has been granted as of December 31, 2021. Under the Equity Incentive Plan and as amended, the Company’s employees, officers and directors are entitled to receive options to acquire the Company’s common stock. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors or such other committee of the Board as may be designated by the Board. Under the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, the Company’s Board of Directors is able to grant (a) non-qualified stock options, (b) stock appreciation rights, (c) restricted stock, (d) restricted stock units, (e) unrestricted stock, (f) other equity-based or equity-related awards, (g) dividend equivalents and (h) cash awards. No options or stock appreciation rights can be exercisable subsequent to the tenth anniversary of the date on which such Award was granted. Under the Equity Incentive Plan, the Administrator may waive or modify the application of forfeiture of awards of restricted stock and performance shares in connection with cessation of service with the Company (Note 10(e)).

7. Earnings per Share

All common stock issued (including any restricted shares issued under the Company’s incentive plans) are the Company’s common stock and have equal rights to vote and participate in dividends. The calculation of basic earnings/(loss) per share does not treat the non-vested shares (not considered participating securities) as outstanding until the time/service-based vesting restriction has lapsed. Incremental shares are the number of shares assumed issued under the treasury stock method weighted for the periods the non-vested shares were outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from conversion of outstanding Series C preferred convertible stock (Note 6(d)) calculated with the “if converted” method.

Under the laws of the countries of the companies’ incorporation and / or vessels’ registration, the companies are not subject to tax on international shipping income; however, they are subject to registration and tonnage taxes, which are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

The vessel-owning companies with vessels that have called on the United States are obliged to file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service. However, pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of the United States, U.S. source income from the international operations of ships is generally exempt from U.S. tax. The applicable tax is 50% of 4% of U.S. related gross transportation income unless an exemption applies. The Company and each of its subsidiaries expects it qualifies for this statutory tax exemption for the 2021 taxable year, and the Company takes this position for United States federal income tax return reporting purposes.

9.Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures

Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The ability and willingness of each of the Company’s counterparties to perform their obligations under a contract depend upon a number of factors that are beyond the Company’s control and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the state of the capital markets, the condition of the shipping industry and charter hire rates. The Company’s credit risk with financial institutions is limited as it has temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, placed with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and by receiving payments of hire in advance. The Company, generally, does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

For 2021, charterers that individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s time charter revenues were as follows:

	From April 15, 2021
Charterer	through December 31, 2021
A	35	%
B	32	%
C	26	%

Fair value of assets and liabilities: The carrying values of financial assets reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2021

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars — except share, per share data, unless otherwise stated)

On November 29, 2021, DSI contributed to OceanPal three vessels having a fair value of $46,040 determined through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy by taking into consideration third party valuations which were based on the last done deals of sale of vessels with similar characteristics, such as type, size and age at the specific dates (Notes 3 (c) and 4).

10. Subsequent Events

a)Series C Preferred Stock Dividends: On January 17, 2022, the Company paid a dividend on its Series C preferred stock, amounting to $100, to DSI.

b)Underwritten Public Offering: On January 12, 2022, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-1, which was declared effective on January 21, 2022. On January 25, 2022, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 15,571,429 units at a price of $0.77 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock (or one pre-funded warrant in lieu of one share of the Company’s common stock) and one Class A warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock. In particular, upon the closing of the offering, 13,071,429 shares of common stock, 2,500,000 prefunded warrants to purchase one share of common stock, and 15,571,429 Class A warrants to purchase one share of common stock were sold. In addition, certain selling stockholders affiliated with the Company (the “Selling Stockholders”) sold an aggregate of 628,571 shares of common stock in the offering. Each share of common stock sold by a Selling Stockholder was sold with one Class A warrant to purchase one share of common stock. In addition, the underwriter for the offering fully-exercised its option to purchase an additional 1,148,577 common shares from the Selling Stockholders and 1,281,423 common shares along with 2,430,000 Class A warrants from the Company. All prefunded warrants have been exercised and 14,474,000 Class A warrants remain available for exercise at an exercise price of $0.77 per share for up to an aggregate of the same number of shares of common stock on April 5, 2022. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common shares by the Selling Stockholders.

c)Receipt of Nasdaq Notice: On March 8, 2022, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares for 30 consecutive business days, from January 21, 2022 to March 7, 2022, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the applicable grace period to regain compliance is 180 days, or until September 5, 2022. The Company can cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock is $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. During this time, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq.

d)Dividend declaration: On March 18, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.05 per share for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021. The cash dividend will be payable on or about April 11, 2022 to all common shareholders of the Company of record as of April 1, 2022.

e)Amendment to Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan: On March 24, 2022, the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan was amended and restated to, among other things, permit grants of Series C Preferred Shares thereunder, in an aggregate amount of up to 10,000 shares.

f)Uncertainties caused by the Russo-Ukrainian War: The recent outbreak of war between Russia and the Ukraine has disrupted supply chains and caused instability in the global economy, while the United States and the European Union, among other countries, announced sanctions against Russia, including sanctions targeting the Russian oil sector, among those a prohibition on the import of oil from Russia to the United States. The ongoing conflict could result in the imposition of further economic sanctions against Russia and the Company’s business may be adversely impacted. Currently, the Company’s charter contracts have not been affected by the events in Russia and Ukraine. However, it is possible that in the future third parties with whom the Company has or will have charter contracts may be impacted by such events. While in general much uncertainty remains regarding the global impact of the conflict in Ukraine, it is possible that such tensions could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

Notes to combined carve-out financial statements

June 30, 2021

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars — unless otherwise stated)

1.Basis of Presentation and General Information

OceanPal Inc., (the “Company”, or “OceanPal”), was incorporated by Diana Shipping Inc. (or ”DSI” or “Parent”) on April 15, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, having a share capital of 500 shares, par value $0.01 per share, issued to Parent. The Company will serve as the holding company of the following three of the Parent’s vessel-owning subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”, or “OceanPal Inc. Predecessors”):

● Cypres Enterprises Corp., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on September 7, 2000, owner of the 2004 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Protefs,

● Darien Compania Armadora S.A., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on December 22, 1993, owner of the 2005 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Calipso and

● Marfort Navigation Company Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus on August 10, 2007, owner of the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Salt Lake City;

The Parent will contribute the Subsidiaries to OceanPal and, as the sole shareholder of the Company, intends to distribute the Company’s common shares to its shareholders on a pro rata basis.

The accompanying unaudited interim carve-out financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim combined financial statements have been prepared on the same basis and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

The combined carve-out balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited predecessor combined carve-out financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company is a global provider of shipping transportation services, specializing in the ownership of vessels. Each of the vessels is owned through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary.

In 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international dry-bulk shipping industry in which the Company operates. As of December 31, 2020, the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus resulted in low time charter rates throughout the year, decreased revenues and increased crew and dry-docking costs. As the situation continues to evolve, it is difficult to predict the long-term impact of the pandemic on the industry. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions, mainly future revenues for unfixed days, carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as its charterers’ response to the severe market disruption and is taking necessary precautions to address and mitigate, to the extent possible, the impact of COVID-19 to the Company.

Notes to combined carve-out financial statements

June 30, 2021

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars — unless otherwise stated)

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, charterers that individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s time charter revenues were as follows:

Charterer	2021		2020
Cargill International S.A.			37	%
Phaethon International Co AG.			33	%
Uniper Global Commodities, Dusseldorf GE			11	%
Crystal Sea Shipping Co., Limited			20	%
C Transport Maritime LTD	37	%
Vitera Chartering	28	%
Reachy International	25	%

Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in Note 2 of the Company’s Combined Carve-out audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes to these policies in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company supplements its significant accounting policy that can be found in Note 2p of the Company’s Combined Carve-out audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 with respect to voyage expenses, as follows:

Voyage Expenses: The Company incurs voyage expenses that mainly include commissions because all of vessels are employed under time charters that require the charterer to bear voyage expenses such as bunkers (fuel oil), port and canal charges. Although the charterer bears the cost of bunkers, voyage results may be affected by differences in bunker prices, and the Company may record a gain or a loss deriving from such price differences. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are purchased by the charterer and sold back to the Company on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss, result when a vessel is redelivered by her charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different bunker prices, or quantities.

2.Transactions with related parties

a)Diana Wilhelmsen Management Limited, or DWM: DWM is a joint venture of the Parent that provides technical management services to the vessels through DSS and since May 24, 2021 directly. For the provision of management services, the vessels pay monthly fees which for the period from May 24, 2021 until June 30, 2021 amounted to $75,484 and are included in “Management fees to related parties” in the accompanying unaudited interim 2021 combined carve-out statement of operations and comprehensive income/(loss). In addition, the vessels pay a commercial fee, which is a percentage of the daily hire, and which for the period from May 24, 2021 to June 30, 2021 amounted to $16,174 and is included in “Voyage expenses” in the accompanying unaudited interim 2021 combined carve-out statement of operations and comprehensive income/(loss). As at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was an amount of $1,392,146 and $1,169,637, respectively, due from DWM (Note 4(b)), included in “Due from a related party” in the accompanying combined carve-out balance sheets.

b)Diana Shipping Services S.A., or DSS: From October 8, 2019 until May 24, 2021, the fleet vessels were managed by DSS, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent, for a fixed monthly fee and a commission on the vessels’ gross revenues. DSS was outsourcing the management of the vessels to DWM and since May 24, 2021, provides insurance services to the vessels. During the period from January 1, 2021 to May 24, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, management fees to DSS amounted to $302,187 and $378,000, respectively, and are included in “Management fees to related parties” in the accompanying unaudited interim combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss). Similarly, commissions charged by DSS for the period from January 1, 2021 to May 24, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 amounted to $94,672 and $93,343, respectively, and are included in “Voyage expenses”. As at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was an amount of $22,930 and $115,280 respectively, due to DSS, separately presented in “Due to a related party” in the accompanying combined carve-out balance sheets.

3.Vessels

The amounts reflected in Vessels, net in the accompanying combined carve-out balance sheets are analyzed as follows:

			Accumulated
	Vessel Cost		Depreciation		Net Book Value
Balance, December 31, 2020	$	47,405,161	$	(15,155,862)	$	32,249,299
– Additions for improvements		29,477		—		29,477
– Depreciation for the period		—		(1,071,390)		(1,071,390)
Balance, June 30, 2021	$	47,434,638	$	(16,227,252)	$	31,207,386

4.Commitments and Contingencies

a)Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. The Company accrues for the cost of environmental and other liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. The Company’s vessels are covered for pollution in the amount of $1 billion per vessel per incident, by the P&I Association in which the Company’s vessels are entered.

b)On July 9, 2020, DWM and the ship-owning company of the vessel Protefs placed a security bond in the amount of $1.75 million for any potential fines or penalties for alleged violations of law concerning maintenance of books and records and the handling of oil wastes of the vessel Protefs. As this amount was paid by the ship owning company of Protefs, the portion of it relating to DWM, amounting to $1.3 million, is included in “Due from a related party”, in the accompanying combined carve-out balance sheets (Note 2(a)). As of December 31, 2020, vessel Protefs recognized an amount of $1.0 million, as an expense in the combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) representing the Company’s best estimate for the liability of Protefs in relation to this incident. In February 2021, DWM entered into a plea agreement with the United States pursuant to which DWM, as defendant, agreed to waive indictment, plead guilty pursuant to the terms thereof, accepted a fine of $2.0 million and the placement of DWM on probation for four years, subject to court approval. On May 24, 2021 there was a plea hearing where the judge accepted the plea and the court set the sentencing hearing for September 23, 2021 (Note 8).

c)As at June 30, 2021, all of the Company’s vessels were fixed under time charter agreements, considered operating leases. The minimum contractual gross charter revenue expected to be generated from fixed and non-cancelable time charter contracts existing as at June 30, 2021 in one year was $7.2 million.

5.Parent Investment

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, parent investment amounting to $140.9 million and $144.3 million, respectively, consists of the amounts contributed by the Parent to finance part of the acquisition cost of the vessels, intercompany amounts due to or from the Parent which are forgiven and treated as contributions or distributions of capital and other general and administrative expenses allocated to the OceanPal Inc. Predecessor by Parent. Allocated general and administrative expenses include expenses of Parent such as executive’s cost, legal, treasury, regulatory compliance and other costs. These expenses were allocated on a pro rata basis, based on the number of ownership days of the Subsidiaries’ vessels compared to the number of ownership days of the total DSI fleet. Such allocations are believed to be reasonable, but may not reflect the actual costs if the OceanPal Inc. Predecessor had operated as a standalone company.

As part of Parent, OceanPal Inc. Predecessor is dependent upon Parent for all of its working capital and financing requirements, as Parent uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. Financial transactions relating to OceanPal Inc. Predecessor are accounted for through the Parent equity account and reflected in the combined carve-out statements of

F-8

OceanPal Inc. Predecessor

Notes to combined carve-out financial statements

June 30, 2021

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars — unless otherwise stated)

Parent’s equity as an increase or decrease in Parent investment. Accordingly, none of Parent’s cash, cash equivalents or debt at the corporate level have been assigned to the OceanPal Inc. Predecessor in the financial statements. Parent equity, net represents Parent’s interest in the recorded net assets of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessor. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the businesses comprising the OceanPal Inc. Predecessor have been eliminated in the accompanying combined carve-out financial statements.

6.Voyage Expenses

The amounts in the accompanying unaudited interim combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) are analyzed as follows:

	June 30,
	2021		2020
Commissions	$	412,008	$	322,428
Bunkers		(330,454)		212,830
Extra insurance		2,023		—
Miscellaneous		10,450		16,846
Total	$	94,027	$	552,104

7.Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

8.Subsequent Events

Protefs: On September 23, 2021, the sentencing hearing of the Protefs case took place (Note 4(b)). The judge formally accepted the DWM’s guilty pleas, adjudged DWM guilty and imposed the agreed upon sentence of a combined fine of $2.0 million, a total special assessment and a four year term of probation.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of OceanPal Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying combined carve-out balance sheet of OceanPal Inc. Predecessors (“the Predecessor Company”) as of December 31, 2020, the related combined carve-out statements of comprehensive income/(loss), parent’s equity and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2021 through November 29, 2021 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “combined carve-out financial statements”). In our opinion, the combined carve-out financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Predecessor Company at December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 1, 2021 through November 29, 2021 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Predecessor Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Predecessor Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Predecessor Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Predecessor Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Predecessor Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors

Notes to combined carve-out financial statements

November 29, 2021

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars — unless otherwise stated)

1.Basis of Presentation and General Information

OceanPal Inc., (the “Company”, or “OceanPal”), was incorporated by Diana Shipping Inc. (or ”DSI” or “Parent”), as a wholly owned subsidiary, on April 15, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, having an authorized share capital of 500 shares, par value $0.01 per share, issued to the Parent. The Company was formed to serve as the holding company of the following three of the Parent’s vessel-owning subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”, or “OceanPal Inc. Predecessors”):

● Cypres Enterprises Corp., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on September 7, 2000, owner of the 2004 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Protefs,

● Darien Compania Armadora S.A., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on December 22, 1993, owner of the 2005 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Calipso and

● Marfort Navigation Company Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus on August 10, 2007, owner of the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Salt Lake City;

As of November 29, 2021, the Parent contributed the Subsidiaries to OceanPal and, as the sole shareholder of the Company, distributed the Company’s common shares to its shareholders on a pro rata basis upon consummation of a spin-off transaction (Note 9 (a)).

The accompanying predecessor combined carve-out financial statements are those of the Subsidiaries for the period presented using the historical carrying costs of the assets and the liabilities of the ship-owning companies above from the dates of their incorporation.

The Company is a global provider of shipping transportation services, specializing in the ownership of vessels. Each of our vessels is owned through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary.

In 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international dry-bulk shipping industry in which the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors operated. The impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus resulted in low time charter rates throughout the year, decreased revenues and increased crew and dry-docking costs. For 2021, there were signs of improvement in the dry-bulk market and overall operations, though the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 is still present. As the situation continues to evolve, it is difficult to predict the long-term impact of the pandemic on the industry. As a result, many of the estimates and assumptions, mainly future revenues for unfixed days, carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as charterers’ response to the severe market disruption and is taking necessary precautions to address and mitigate, to the extent possible, the impact of COVID-19 to the Company.

2.Significant Policies

a)Basis of presentation: The accompanying combined carve-out financial statements include the accounts of the legal entities comprising OceanPal Inc. Predecessors as discussed in Note 1. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have historically operated as part of the Parent and not as a standalone company. Financial statements representing the historical operations of Parent’s business have been derived from Parent’s historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis. All revenues, costs, assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of OceanPal Inc. Predecessors are included in the combined carve-out financial statements. The combined financial statements are prepared in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and reflect the financial position, results of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) and cash flows associated with the business activity of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors as they were historically managed.

The combined carve-out statements of operations also reflect intercompany expense allocations made to OceanPal Inc. Predecessors by DSI of certain general and administrative expenses from Parent (Note 6). However, amounts recognized by OceanPal Inc. Predecessors are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial

F-7

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors

Notes to combined carve-out financial statements

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars — unless otherwise stated)

statements had the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors operated independently of Parent as the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors would have had additional administrative expenses, including legal, professional, treasury and regulatory compliance and other costs normally incurred by a listed public entity. Management has estimated these additional administrative expenses to be $1,104,894, $1,265,051 and $809,205, respectively, for the period from January 1, 2021, to November 29, 2021, and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Both the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors and DSI consider the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by the Predecessors during the periods presented. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have incurred as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented.

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have no common capital structure for the combined business and, accordingly, has not presented historical earnings per share.

b)Use of Estimates: The preparation of combined carve-out financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined carve-out financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

c)Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss): OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have no other comprehensive income / (loss) and accordingly comprehensive income / (loss) equals net income / (loss) for all periods presented.

d)Foreign Currency: The functional currency of OceanPal Inc. Predecessors is the U.S. dollar because the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors vessels operate in international shipping markets, and therefore primarily transact business in U.S. dollars. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in other currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are included in “Other income/(loss)” in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss).

e)Cash and Cash Equivalents: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors consider time deposits, certificates of deposit and their equivalents with an original maturity of up to about three months to be cash equivalents.

f)Accounts Receivable, Trade: The amount shown as accounts receivable, trade, at each balance sheet date, includes receivables from charterers for hire from lease agreements, net of allowance for credit loss, if any. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. Operating lease receivables under ASC 842 are not in scope of ASC 326 for assessment of credit loss, however OceanPal Inc. Predecessors assess their accounts receivable, trade and their credit risk relating to their charterers. No provision for doubtful accounts receivable has been recorded in the accompanying statements of comprehensive income/(loss) during the period from January 1, 2021 through November 29, 2021, and the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

g)Inventories: Inventories consist of lubricants which are stated, on a consistent basis, at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first in, first out method. Amounts removed from inventory are also determined by the first in first out method. Inventories may also consist of bunkers when on the balance sheet date a vessel is without employment. Bunkers, if any, are also stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and cost is determined by the first in, first out method.

h)Insurance claims. Claims receivable are recorded on accrual basis, net of deductibles, through each balance sheet date, for which recovery from insurance companies is probable and the claim is not subject to litigation.

i)Vessel, net: Vessels are stated at cost which consists of the contract price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition or during construction. Expenditures for conversions and improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise these amounts are charged to

F-8

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors

Notes to combined carve-out financial statements

November 29, 2021

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars — unless otherwise stated)

expense as incurred. As at balance sheet date, vessels are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation expense and impairment charge, if any.

j)Vessels held for sale: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors classify assets as being held for sale when the respective criteria are met. Long-lived assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These assets are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be held for sale. The fair value less cost to sell of an asset held for sale is assessed at each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale. When the plan to sell an asset changes, the asset is reclassified as held and used, measured at the lower of its carrying amount before it was recorded as held for sale, adjusted for depreciation, and the asset’s fair value at the date of the decision not to sell.

k)Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, potential sales and other business plans) indicate that the carrying amount plus unamortized dry-docking costs of an asset may not be recoverable. When the estimate of undiscounted projected net operating cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of an asset over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount plus unamortized dry-docking costs, OceanPal Inc. Predecessors evaluate the asset for impairment loss. Measurement of impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, determined mainly by third party valuations.

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors undiscounted projected net operating cash flows by considering the historical and estimated vessels’ performance and utilization with the significant assumption being future charter rates for the unfixed days, using the most recent 10 year average of historical 1 year time charter rates available for each type of vessel over the remaining estimated life of each vessel, net of commissions. In 2019, the 1 year time charter rates did not include the rate for 2010, as it had been previously considered by Parent well above the average. Other than that, historical ten-year blended average one-year time charter rates are in line with the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ overall chartering strategy, they reflect the full operating history of vessels of the same type and particulars with the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ operating fleet and they cover at least a full business cycle, where applicable. Other assumptions used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flow are charter rates calculated for the fixed days using the fixed charter rate of each vessel from existing time charters, the expected outflows for scheduled vessels’ maintenance; vessel operating expenses; fleet utilization, and the vessels’ residual value if sold for scrap. Assumptions are in line with the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ historical performance and expectations for future fleet utilization under their current fleet deployment strategy. This calculation is then compared with the vessels’ net book value plus unamortized dry-docking costs. The difference between the carrying amount of the vessel plus unamortized dry-docking costs and its fair value is recognized in the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ accounts as impairment loss. No impairment loss was identified or recorded in 2019, in 2020 and in the period from January 1, 2021, to November 29, 2021 due to this exercise. However, an impairment charge amounting to $3,047,978 recorded in 2019 for vessel Calipso, which was classified as held for sale (Note 4).

l)Vessel Depreciation: Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated salvage (scrap) value. Each vessel’s salvage value is equal to the product of its lightweight tonnage and estimated scrap rate. Management estimates the useful life of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Second hand vessels are depreciated from the date of their acquisition through their remaining estimated useful life. When regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its remaining useful life is adjusted at the date such regulations are adopted.

m)Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors follow the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking costs whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next dry-docking is scheduled to become due. Unamortized dry-docking costs of vessels that are sold or impaired are written off and included in the calculation of the resulting gain or loss in the year of the vessel’s sale or impairment (Note 4).

n)Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject OceanPal Inc. Predecessors to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors place temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ investment strategy.

F-9

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors

Notes to combined carve-out financial statements

November 29, 2021

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars — unless otherwise stated)

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors limit their credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral for accounts receivable and do not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

o)Accounting for Revenues and Expenses: Revenues are generated from time charter agreements which contain a lease as they meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842. Agreements with the same charterer are accounted for as separate agreements according to their specific terms and conditions. All agreements contain a minimum non-cancellable period and an extension period at the option of the charterer. Each lease term is assessed at the inception of that lease. Under a time charter agreement, the charterer pays a daily hire for the use of the vessel and reimburses the owner for hold cleanings, extra insurance premiums for navigating in restricted areas and damages caused by the charterers. Additionally, the charterer pays to third parties port, canal and bunkers consumed during the term of the time charter agreement. Such costs are considered direct costs and are not recorded as they are directly paid by charterers, unless they are for the account of the owner, in which case they are included in voyage expenses. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors incur voyage expenses that mainly include commissions because all of vessels are employed under time charters that require the charterer to bear voyage expenses such as bunkers (fuel oil), port and canal charges. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are purchased by the charterer and sold back to OceanPal Inc. Predecessors on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss, result when a vessel is redelivered by her charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different bunker prices, or quantities. For the period From January 1, 2021, to November 29, 2021, and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors incurred gain on bunkers amounting to $330,454, and loss on bunkers amounting to $287,352 and $229,481, respectively, resulting mainly from the difference in the value of bunkers paid by OceanPal Inc. Predecessors when the vessel is redelivered to OceanPal Inc. Predecessors from the charterer under the vessel’s previous time charter agreement and the value of bunkers sold by OceanPal Inc. Predecessors when the vessel is delivered to a new charterer. This gain/loss is included in “Voyage expenses” in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of comprehensive income / (loss). Additionally, the owner pays commissions on the hire revenue, to both the charterer and to brokers, which are direct costs and are recorded in voyage expenses. Under a time charter agreement, the owner pays for the operation and the maintenance of the vessel, including crew, insurance, spares and repairs, which are recognized in operating expenses. Revenues from time charter agreements providing for varying annual rates are accounted for as operating leases and thus recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable rental periods of such agreements, as service is performed. Deferred revenue includes cash received prior to the balance sheet date for which all criteria to recognize as revenue have not been met. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors, as lessors, have elected not to allocate the consideration in the agreement to the separate lease and non-lease components (operation and maintenance of the vessel) as their timing and pattern of transfer to the charterer, as the lessee, are the same and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, the lease component is considered the predominant component as OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have assessed that more value is ascribed to the vessel rather than to the services provided under the time charter contracts.

p)Repairs and Maintenance: All repair and maintenance expenses including underwater inspection expenses are expensed in the year incurred. Such costs are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss).

q)Segmental Reporting: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors engage in the operation of dry-bulk vessels which has been identified as one reportable segment. The operation of the vessels is the main source of revenue generation, the services provided by the vessels are similar and they all operate under the same economic environment. Additionally, the vessels do not operate in specific geographic areas, as they trade worldwide; they do not trade in specific trade routes, as their trading (route and cargo) is dictated by the charterers; and OceanPal Inc. Predecessors do not evaluate the operating results for each type of dry bulk vessels (Panamax or Capesize) for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance.

r)Fair Value Measurements: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors classify and discloses their assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

s)Going concern: Management evaluates, at each reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the combined carve-out financial statements are issued.

t)Financial Instruments, credit losses: At each reporting date, OceanPal Inc. Predecessors evaluate financial assets for credit losses and presents such assets in the net amount expected to be collected on such financial asset. When financial assets present similar risk characteristics, these are evaluated on a collective basis. When developing an estimate of expected credit losses OceanPal Inc.

No allowance for credit loss has been recorded in the accompanying statements of comprehensive income/(loss) during the period from January 1, 2021 through November 29, 2021, and the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Not yet adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 applies to contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be terminated because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in this Update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. An entity may elect certain optional expedients for hedging relationships that exist as of December 31, 2022 and maintain those optional expedients through the end of the hedging relationship. ASU 2020-04 can be adopted as of March 12, 2020. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the combined carve-out financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05 Leases (Topic 842): Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. The ASU amends the lessor lease classification guidance in ASC 842 for leases that include any amount of variable lease payments that are not based on an index or rate. If such a lease meets the criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2 through 25-3 for classification as either a sales-type or direct financing lease, and application of the sales-type or direct financing lease recognition guidance would result in recognition of a selling loss, then the amendments require the lessor to classify the lease as an operating lease. For public business entities that have adopted ASC 842 as of July 19, 2021, the amendments in ASU 2021-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU has been assessed and it is expected that it does not have a material impact on the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ combined carve-out financial statements and related disclosures.

an amount of $1,169,637 due from DWM mainly related to Protefs’ environmental incident (Note 5), included in “Due from a related party” in the accompanying combined carve-out balance sheet. Since October 9, 2019 and up to May 24, 2021, DWM provided technical management services to the vessels through Diana Shipping Services S.A. (Note 3(b)) and since May 24, 2021 directly. For the provision of management services, the vessels pay monthly fees which for the period from May 24, 2021 until November 29, 2021 amounted to $373,484 and are included in “Management fees to related parties” in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss). In addition, the vessels pay a commercial fee, which is a percentage of the daily hire, and which for the period from May 24, 2021 to November 29, 2021 amounted to $80,896 and is included in “Voyage expenses” in the accompanying combined carve-out statement of comprehensive income/(loss).

b)Diana Shipping Services S.A., or DSS: From October 8, 2019 until May 24, 2021, the fleet vessels were managed by DSS, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent, for a fixed monthly fee and a commission on the vessels’ gross revenues. DSS was outsourcing the management of the vessels to DWM from October 8, 2019 until May 24, 2021 and since May 24, 2021, provides insurance services to the vessels for a fixed monthly fee of $500. During the period from January 1, 2021 to May 24, 2021, during 2020, and during the period from October 9, 2019 to December 31, 2019, respectively, management fees to DSS amounted to $300,300, $756,000 and $174,300, respectively and are included in “Management fees to related parties” in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss). During the period from May 24, 2021 to November 29, 2021, insurance service fees to DSS amounted to $9,337 and are included in “Management fees to related parties” in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss). Similarly, commissions charged by DSS for the period from January 1, 2021 to May 24, 2021, for 2020 and from October 9, 2019 to December 31, 2019, respectively amounted to $94,672, 186,223 and $63,721, respectively and are included in “Voyage expenses” in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss). As at December 31, 2020, there was an amount of $115,280 respectively, due to DSS, separately presented in “Due to a related party” in the accompanying combined carve-out balance sheet.

4.Vessels

On December 24, 2019, Darien Compania Armadora S.A. entered into a Memorandum of Agreement to sell to an unaffiliated third party the vessel Calipso, for a sale price of $7,275,000 before commissions. On December 31, 2019, the vessel was measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and was classified in current assets as Vessel held for sale, according to the provisions of ASC 360, as all criteria required for this classification were then met.

The classification of Calipso as held for sale on December 31, 2019 resulted in impairment of $3,047,978 including the write off of the unamortized drydocking costs as the vessel was measured at the lower of its carrying value and fair value (sale price) less costs to sell and is separately presented in “Vessel impairment charges” in the accompanying 2019 combined carve-out statement of comprehensive income / (loss).

In February 2020, the buyers of Calipso elected to exercise their right to cancel the contract as a result of the vessel’s missing the cancelling date due to unforeseen events, unrelated to the condition of the vessel. Following this cancelation of the memorandum of agreement, on March 8, 2020, the vessel was withdrawn from the market as per management’s decision and was recorded at its fair value at that date, amounting to $7.33 million, as held and used, according to the provisions of ASC 360. The vessel’s fair value was determined through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy by taking into consideration a third party valuation which was based on the last done deals of sale of vessels with similar characteristics, such as type, size and age. The valuation of the vessel at fair value resulted in a gain of $200,500 separately presented in “Vessel fair value adjustment” in the 2020 accompanying combined carve-out statement of comprehensive income / (loss).

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars — unless otherwise stated)

The amounts reflected in Vessels, net in the accompanying combined carve-out balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 are analyzed as follows:

			Accumulated
	Vessel Cost		Depreciation		Net Book Value
Balance, December 31, 2019	$	38,600,196	$	(13,139,306)	$	25,460,890
– Additions for improvements		1,474,965		—		1,474,965
– Vessel fair value adjustment		200,500		—		200,500
– Vessel transferred from held for sale		7,129,500		—		7,129,500
– Depreciation for the period		—		(2,016,556)		(2,016,556)
Balance, December 31, 2020	$	47,405,161	$	(15,155,862)	$	32,249,299

Vessels’ depreciation expense for the period from January 1, 2021 through November 29, 2021, and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, amounted to $1.97 million, $2.02 million, and $2.27 million, respectively, and is included in “Depreciation and amortization of deferred charges” in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss).

5.Commitments and Contingencies

a)Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Subsidiaries’ vessels. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors accrue for the cost of environmental and other liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. Subsidiaries’ vessels are covered for pollution in the amount of $1 billion per vessel per incident, by the P&I Association in which the Subsidiaries’ vessels are entered.

b)On July 9, 2020, DWM placed a security bond in the amount of $1.75 million for any potential fines or penalties for alleged violations of law concerning maintenance of books and records and the handling of oil wastes of the vessel Protefs, as a consequence of a environmental incident involving the vessel in 2020. As this amount was paid by the ship owning company of Protefs, a portion of the security bond relating to DWM, amounting to $1 million, was included in “Due from related parties”, as of December 31, 2020 in the accompanying combined carve-out balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, vessel Protefs also recorded an accrual of about $1.0 million, as the Parent determined that Protefs could be liable for part of a fine related to this incident, as part of its management agreement with DWM and recognized an expense which is presented in “Vessel operating expenses” in the combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) for the year ended December 31, 2020, representing the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ best estimate for the liability of Protefs in relation to this incident. In February 2021, DWM entered into a plea agreement with the United States pursuant to which DWM, as defendant, agreed to waive indictment, plead guilty pursuant to the terms thereof, accepted a fine of $2.0 million and the placement of DWM on probation for four years, subject to court approval. On September 23, 2021, in the sentencing hearing of the Protefs case, the judge accepted DWM’s guilty pleas, adjudged DWM guilty and imposed the agreed upon sentence of a combined fine of $2 million, a total special assessment and a four-year term of probation. The total amount of the fine was settled during 2021 through the security bond placed by DWM on July 9, 2020, whereas the remaining balance of the fine amounting to $0.25 million was settled by the ship owning company of Protefs.

c)As at November 29, 2021, all of the vessels were fixed under time charter agreements, considered as operating leases accounted for as per ASC 842 requirements. The minimum contractual gross charter revenues expected to be generated from fixed and non-cancelable time charter contracts existing as at November 29, 2021 and until their expiration is estimated at $3.1 million.

6.Parent Investment, net

Parent investment, net consists of the amounts contributed by the Parent to finance part of the acquisition cost of the vessels, intercompany amounts due to or from the Parent which are forgiven and treated as contributions or distributions of capital and other general and administrative expenses allocated to the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors by Parent. Allocated general and administrative

F-13

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors

Notes to combined carve-out financial statements

November 29, 2021

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars — unless otherwise stated)

expenses include expenses of Parent such as executive’s cost, legal, treasury, regulatory compliance and other costs. These expenses were allocated on a pro rata basis, based on the number of ownership days of the Subsidiaries’ vessels compared to the number of ownership days of the total DSI fleet. Such allocations are believed to be reasonable, but may not reflect the actual costs if the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors had operated as a standalone company. For the period from January 1, 2021 through November 29, 2021, and for 2019, capital distribution amounted to $3.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Capital contribution during 2020 amounted to $4.2 million.

As part of Parent, OceanPal Inc. Predecessors are dependent upon Parent for all of their working capital and financing requirements, as Parent uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of their operations. Financial transactions relating to OceanPal Inc. Predecessor are accounted for through the Parent equity account and reflected in the combined carve-out statements of Parent’s equity as an increase or decrease in Parent investment. Accordingly, none of Parent’s cash, cash equivalents or debt at the corporate level have been assigned to the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors in the combined carve-out financial statements. Parent equity, net represents Parent’s interest in the recorded net assets of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the businesses comprising the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have been eliminated in the accompanying combined carve-out financial statements.

7.Fair Value measurements and Risk management

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, due from related parties and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Financial instruments, which potentially subject OceanPal Predecessors to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The ability and willingness of each of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ counterparties to perform their obligations under a contract depend upon a number of factors that are beyond the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ control and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the state of the capital markets, the condition of the shipping industry and charter hire rates. The credit risk with financial institutions is limited as it has temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, placed with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions. The credit risk with accounts receivable is limited by performing ongoing credit evaluations of the customers’ financial condition and by receiving payments of hire in advance. Generally, no collateral is required for accounts receivable whereas OceanPal Inc. Predecessors do not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

During the period from January 1, 2021, to November 29, 2021 and during 2020 and 2019, charterers that individually accounted for 10% or more of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors time charter revenues were as follows:

	From January 1, 2021 to
Charterer	November 29, 2021		2020		2019
C Transport Maritime LTD	38	%
Vitera Chartering	29	%
Reachy International	28	%
Cargill International S.A.			34	%	33	%
Phaethon International Co AG.			34	%
Uniper Global Commodities, Dusseldorf GE			22	%
Crystal Sea Shipping Co., Limited			10	%	12	%
Hadson Shipping Lines Inc.					30	%
Glencore Agriculture BV					22	%

8.Income Taxes

Under the laws of the countries of the companies’ incorporation and / or vessels’ registration, the companies are not subject to tax on international shipping income; however, they are subject to registration and tonnage taxes, which are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of operations.

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors

Notes to combined carve-out financial statements

November 29, 2021

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars — unless otherwise stated)

The vessel-owning companies with vessels that have called on the United States are obliged to file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service. However, pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of the United States, U.S. source income from the international operations of ships is generally exempt from U.S. tax. The applicable tax is 50% of 4% of U.S.-related gross transportation income unless an exemption applies. Each of the subsidiaries expects it qualifies for this statutory tax exemption for the period from January 1, 2021 to November 29, 2021, 2020 and 2019 taxable years, and they take this position for United States federal income tax return reporting purposes.

9.Subsequent Events

a)Contribution by Parent of the three ship-owning companies to OceanPal Inc.: On November 29, 2021, the spin-off transaction was materialized and the three ship-owning companies were contributed to the Company by the Parent. Following the spin-off consummation OceanPal Inc. and Diana Shipping are independent publicly traded companies with separate independent boards of directors.

b)Uncertainties caused by the Russo-Ukrainian War: The recent outbreak of war between Russia and the Ukraine has disrupted supply chains and caused instability in the global economy, while the United States and the European Union, among other countries, announced sanctions against Russia, including sanctions targeting the Russian oil sector, among those a prohibition on the import of oil from Russia to the United States. The ongoing conflict could result in the imposition of further economic sanctions against Russia and the Company’s business may be adversely impacted.

(2) Actions by or in right of the corporation.

II-1

(5) Indemnification pursuant to other rights.

(i)     To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)   To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.

(5)That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)   Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)   Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)  The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)  Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(7)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Exhibit 4.10

1 STATEMENT OF DESIGNATION OF THE RIGHTS, PREFERENCES AND PRIVILEGES OF THE 7.0% SERIES D CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PERPETUAL PREFERRED STOCK OF OCEANPAL INC. OCEANPAL INC., a Company organized and existing under the Business Corporations Act (the “BCA”) of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the “Company”), in accordance with the provisions of Section 35 thereof and the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, does hereby certify: The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted the following resolution creating a series of Preferred Stock (this and other capitalized terms shall have the same meaning as in the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, unless otherwise specified in this Statement of Designation or unless the context otherwise requires) of the Company designated as “7.0% Series D Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock.” RESOLVED, that a series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company be and hereby is created, and that the designation and number of shares of such series, and the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or special rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, of the shares of such series, are as follows: Section 1. Designation. The distinctive designation of such series of Preferred Stock is “7.0% Series D Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock” (“Series D Preferred Shares”), par value $0.01 per share. Each Series D Preferred Share shall be identical in all respects to every other Series D Preferred Share, except as to the respective dates from which dividends may begin accruing, to the extent such dates may differ. The Series D Preferred Shares represents perpetual equity interests in the Company and shall not give rise to a claim for payment of a principal amount at a particular date. Section 2. Shares. (a) Number. The authorized number of Series D Preferred Shares shall initially be 25,000, which number the Board of Directors of the Company may, from time to time, increase or decrease (but not below the number then-outstanding). Series D Preferred Shares that are repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Company shall be cancelled and shall revert to authorized but unissued Preferred Stock, undesignated as to series. Section 3. Dividends. (a) Dividends. Dividends on each Series D Preferred Share shall be cumulative and shall accrue at the Dividend Rate from the Original Issue Date (or, for any subsequently issued and newly outstanding stock, from the Dividend Payment Date immediately preceding the issuance date of such stock) until such time as the Company pays the dividend or redeems the stock in full in accordance with Section 6 below, whether or not such dividends shall have

2 been declared, and whether or not there are profits, surplus, or other funds legally available for the payment of dividends. Holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive dividends from time to time out of any assets of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends at the Dividend Rate per share, when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors. Dividends, to the extent declared to be paid by the Company in accordance with this Statement of Designation, shall be paid quarterly on each Dividend Payment Date. Dividends shall accumulate in each Dividend Period from and including the preceding Dividend Payment Date or the initial issue date, as the case may be, to but excluding the applicable next Dividend Payment Date for such Dividend Period. If any Dividend Payment Date otherwise would fall on a day that is not a Business Day, declared dividends shall be paid on the immediately succeeding Business Day without the accumulation of additional dividends. Dividends on the Series D Preferred Shares shall be payable based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Dividend Rate is not subject to adjustment. Holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall receive preferential cumulative quarterly dividends payable in cash or, at the election of the Company, in PIK Shares, on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing on the first Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a Series D Preferred Share, in either a cash amount per share equal to the product of the Liquidation Preference and the Dividend Rate (the “Dividend Amount”) or, at the election of the Company, in an amount of PIK Shares for each outstanding Series D Preferred Share equal to the Dividend Amount divided by the Original Issue Price (the “PIK Share Amount”). The Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock shall be junior to the Series D Preferred Shares with respect to all dividends. (b) Payment and Priorities of Dividends. Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Dividend Payment Date, the Company shall pay those dividends, if any, on the Series D Preferred Shares that shall have been declared by the Board of Directors to the Holders of record of such shares as such Holders’ names appear on the stock transfer books of the Company maintained by the Registrar and Transfer Agent on the applicable record date (the “Record Date”), being the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Dividend Payment Date, except that in the case of payments of dividends in arrears, the Record Date with respect to a Dividend Payment Date shall be such date as may be designated by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws and this Statement of Designation. No dividend shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Junior Stock (other than a dividend payable solely in shares of Junior Stock) unless full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are being paid or provided for on all outstanding Series D Preferred Shares and any Parity Stock for all prior and the then-ending Dividend Periods. In the event that full cumulative dividends on the Series D Preferred Shares and any Parity Stock shall not have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, the Company shall not be permitted to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, in whole or in part, any Series D Preferred Shares or Parity Stock except pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the

3 same terms to all holders of Series D Preferred Shares and any Parity Stock. The Company shall not be permitted to redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire any Common Stock or any other Junior Stock unless full cumulative dividends on the Series D Preferred Shares and any Parity Stock for all prior and the then-ending Dividend Periods shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment. Accumulated dividends in arrears for any past Dividend Period may be declared by the Board of Directors and paid on any date fixed by the Board of Directors, whether or not a Dividend Payment Date, to Holders of the Series D Preferred Shares on the record date for such payment, which may not be more than 60 days, nor less than 5 days, before such payment date. Subject to the next succeeding sentence, if all accumulated dividends in arrears on all outstanding Series D Preferred Shares and any Parity Stock shall not have been declared and paid, or if sufficient funds for the payment thereof shall not have been set apart, payment of accumulated dividends in arrears on the Series D Preferred Shares and any such Parity Stock shall be made in order of their respective Dividend Payment Dates, commencing with the earliest. If less than all dividends payable with respect to all Series D Preferred Shares and any Parity Stock are paid, any partial payment shall be made pro rata with respect to the Series D Preferred Shares and any Parity Stock entitled to a dividend payment at such time in proportion to the aggregate dividend amounts remaining due in respect of such shares at such time. Holders of the Series D Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends. No interest or sum of money in lieu of interest shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment which may be in arrears on the Series D Preferred Shares. Dividends shall be paid by check mailed to the registered address of the Holder, unless, in any particular case, the Company elects to pay by wire transfer. Section 4. Liquidation Rights. (a) Liquidation Event. Upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, Holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company or proceeds thereof legally available for distribution to stockholders of the Company, (i) after satisfaction of all liabilities, if any, to creditors of the Company, (ii) after all applicable distributions of such assets or proceeds being made to or set aside for the holders of any Senior Stock then outstanding in respect of such Liquidation Event, (iii) concurrently with any applicable distributions of such assets or proceeds being made to or set aside for holders of any Parity Stock then outstanding in respect of such Liquidation Event and (iv) before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of Common Stock and any other classes or series of Junior Stock as to such distribution, a liquidating distribution or payment in full redemption of such Series D Preferred Shares in an amount initially equal to $1,000.00 per share in cash, plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for payment of such amount (whether or not declared) (the “Liquidation Preference”). For purposes of clarity, upon the occurrence of any Liquidation Event, (x) the holders of then outstanding Senior Stock shall be

4 entitled to receive the applicable liquidation preference on such Senior Stock before any distribution shall be made to the Holders of the Series D Preferred Shares or any Parity Stock and (y) the Holders of outstanding Series D Preferred Shares shall be entitled to the Liquidation Preference per share in cash concurrently with any distribution made to the holders of Parity Stock and before any distribution shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or any other Junior Stock. Holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to any other amounts from the Company, in their capacity as Holders of such stock, after they have received the Liquidation Preference. The payment of the Liquidation Preference shall be a payment in redemption of the Series D Preferred Shares such that, from and after payment of the full Liquidation Preference, any such Series D Preferred Shares shall thereafter be cancelled and no longer be outstanding. (b) Partial Payment. In the event that the distribution or payment described in Section 4(a) above where the Company’s assets available for distribution to holders of the outstanding Series D Preferred Shares and any Parity Stock are insufficient to permit payment of all required amounts, the Company’s then remaining assets or proceeds thereof legally available for distribution to stockholders of the Company shall be distributed among the Series D Preferred Shares and any Parity Stock, as applicable, ratably on the basis of their relative aggregate liquidation preferences. To the extent that the Holders of Series D Preferred Shares receive a partial payment of their Liquidation Preference, such partial payment shall reduce the Liquidation Preference of their Series D Preferred Shares, but only to the extent of such amount paid. (c) Residual Distributions. After payment of all required amounts to the Holders of the outstanding Series D Preferred Shares and any Parity Stock, the Company’s remaining assets and funds shall be distributed among the holders of the Common Stock and any other Junior Stock then outstanding according to their respective rights. Section 5. Voting Rights. (a) General. The Series D Preferred Shares shall have no voting rights except as set forth in this Section 5 or as otherwise provided by Marshall Islands law. (b) Other Voting Rights (1) Unless the Company shall have received the affirmative vote or consents of the Holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series D Preferred Shares, voting as a single class, the Company may not adopt any amendment to the Articles of Incorporation that adversely alters the preferences, powers or rights of the Series D Preferred Shares. (2) Unless the Company shall have received the affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Series D Preferred Shares, voting as a class together with holders of any other Parity Stock upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, the Company may not (x) issue any Parity Stock if the cumulative

5 dividends payable on outstanding Series D Preferred Shares are in arrears or (y) create or issue any Senior Stock. (c) Voting Power. For any matter described in this Section 5 in which the Holders of the Series D Preferred Shares are entitled to vote as a class, such Holders shall be entitled to one vote in respect of each $1,000.00 in liquidation preference held by them. Any Series D Preferred Shares held by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates shall not be entitled to vote. (d) No Vote or Consent in Other Cases. No vote or consent of Holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall be required for (i) the creation or incurrence of any indebtedness, (ii) the authorization or issuance of any Common Stock or other Junior Stock or (iii) except as expressly provided in paragraph (b)(2) above, the authorization or issuance of any Preferred Stock of the Company. Section 6. Rank. The Series D Preferred Shares shall be deemed to rank with respect to dividend distributions and distributions upon a Liquidation Event: (a) Seniority. Senior to (i) all classes of Common Stock, (ii) any Series A Participating Preferred Stock and any Series B Preferred Stock and (iii) any other class or series of capital stock established after the Original Issue Date, the terms of which expressly provide that it is made junior to the Series D Preferred Shares or any Parity Stock as to the payment of dividends and amounts payable upon any Liquidation Event (collectively referred to with the Company’s Common Stock as “Junior Stock”); (b) Parity. Equal with (i) the Series C Preferred Stock, and (ii) any class or series of capital stock established after the Original Issue Date, the terms of which are not expressly subordinated or senior to the Series D Preferred Shares as to the payment of dividends and amounts payable upon any Liquidation Event (referred to as “Parity Stock”); and (c) Junior. Junior to any class or series of capital stock established after the Original Issue Date, the terms of which expressly provide that it ranks senior to the Series D Preferred Shares as to the payment of dividends and amounts payable upon any Liquidation Event (referred to as “Senior Stock”), and to all of our indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables. The Company may issue additional Common Stock, additional Series D Preferred Shares and Junior Stock and, subject to Section 5(b)(2) of this Statement of Designation, Parity Stock or Senior Stock from time to time in one or more series without the consent of the holders of the Series D Preferred Shares. The Board of Directors has the authority to determine the preferences, powers, qualifications, limitations, restrictions and special or relative rights or privileges, if any, of any such series before the issuance of any shares of such series.

(iii) In the event that the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, offer shares of Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) in a non-public offering (or in a public offering in which more than 50% of such public offering is subscribed to by Affiliates of the Company) in which the Common Stock is sold at a price less than Fair Market Value, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced (but not increased) to an amount determined by multiplying the Conversion Price by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as determined in the following sentence) immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (B) the number of shares of Common Stock which the Aggregate Consideration received or deemed received by the Company for the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such then-existing Conversion Price, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding (as determined in the following sentence) immediately prior to such issue or sale plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so issued. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of (I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, (II) the number of shares of Common Stock into which the then-outstanding Series D Preferred Shares could be converted if fully converted on the day immediately preceding the given date, and (III) the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all other rights, options and Convertible Securities outstanding on the day immediately preceding the given date. In addition, any issuance of additional Series D Preferred Shares shall not cause an adjustment of the Conversion Price under this Section 10(b)(iii). An adjustment made pursuant to this Section 10(b)(iii) shall be made on the next Business Day following the date on which any such issuance or sale is made and shall be effective retroactively to the close of business on the date of such issuance or sale. For the purpose of making any adjustment required under this Section 10(b)(iii), the aggregate consideration received by the Company for any issue or sale of securities (the “Aggregate Consideration”) shall be computed as: (A) to the extent it consists of cash, the gross amount of cash received by the Company before deduction of any underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by the Company in connection with such issue or sale and without deduction of any expenses payable by the Company, (B) to the extent it consists of property other than cash, the fair value of that property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that to the extent the Board of Directors determines the fair value of property other than cash is equal to or exceeds $1,000,000, then the Company shall have such property appraised by a qualified independent appraiser, whose valuation shall conclusively determine the value, and (C) if shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or rights or options to purchase either shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the Company for a consideration which covers both, the portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors to be allocable to such shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or rights or options.

11 For the purpose of the adjustment required under this Section 7(c)(iii), if the Company issues or sells (x) Preferred Shares or other stock, options, warrants, purchase rights or other securities convertible into, shares of Common Stock other than Excluded Shares (such convertible stock or securities being herein referred to as “Convertible Securities”) or (y) rights or options for the purchase of shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (other than Excluded Shares) and if the Effective Price of such shares of Common Stock is less than the Conversion Price, the Company shall be deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof and to have received as consideration for the issuance of such shares an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the Company for the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities plus: (A) in the case of such rights or options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of such rights or options; and (B) in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion thereof (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities); provided that if the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot be ascertained, but are a function of anti-dilution or similar protective clauses, the Company shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to such clauses. If the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise or conversion of rights, options or Convertible Securities is reduced over time or on the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of anti-dilution adjustments, the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; provided further, that if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities is subsequently increased, the Effective Price shall be again recalculated using the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities. If any option or warrant expires or is cancelled without having been exercised, then, for the purposes of the adjustments set forth above, such option or warrant shall have been deemed not to have been issued and the Conversion Price shall be adjusted accordingly. No holder of Common Stock which was previously issued upon conversion of Series D Preferred Shares shall have any obligation to redeem or cancel any such shares of Common Stock as a result of the operation of this paragraph. (iv) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment will be made to the Conversion Price by reason of the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion of Series D Preferred Shares or the exercise of any such rights or options. (c) Corporate Events. Prior to the consummation of any transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock, including a reclassification, exchange, substitution or reorganization (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that each Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of all the Series D Preferred Shares held by such Holder, such securities and other assets (including cash) that such Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Holder converted its Series D Preferred Shares into Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation of such Corporate Event. The provisions of this Section 10(c) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events.

12 (d) Mechanics of Conversion. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Series D Preferred Shares. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of such fractional shares. Before any Holder of Series D Preferred Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into full shares of Common Stock, and to receive certificates therefor, the Holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any Transfer Agent for the Series D Preferred Shares, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that such Holder is converting the same; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion unless either the certificates evidencing such Series D Preferred Shares are delivered to the Company or its Transfer Agent as provided above, or the Holder notifies the Company or its Transfer Agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. The Company shall, as soon as practicable after such delivery, or after such agreement and indemnification, issue and deliver at such office to such Holder of Series D Preferred Shares, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled as aforesaid (or the applicable book-entry account shall be created and/or noted as credited with such shares of Common Stock) and a check payable to the Holder in the amount of any cash amounts payable as the result of a conversion into fractional shares of Common Stock, plus any accrued and unpaid cash dividends on the converted Series D Preferred Shares. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of Series D Preferred Shares to be converted, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date. (e) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times after the Original Issue Date, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series D Preferred Shares, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Shares; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Shares, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose, including engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Statement of Designation or the Articles of Incorporation. (f) Treasury Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held, directly or indirectly, by or for the account of the Company. The disposition of such shares of Common Stock shall be deemed a sale for the purpose of Section 10(b)(iii) hereof. (g) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the foregoing provisions of this Section 10 but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment to the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Series D Preferred Shares; provided, however, that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 10.

13 Section 11. Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company, the Registrar, the Transfer Agent and the Paying Agent may deem and treat the Holder of any Series D Preferred Shares as the true, lawful and absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Registrar, the Transfer Agent or the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Section 12. Notices. All notices or communications in respect of the Series D Preferred Shares shall be sufficiently given if given in writing and delivered in person or by first class mail, postage prepaid, or if given in such other manner as may be permitted in this Statement of Designation, in the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws or by applicable law. Section 13. Other Rights. The Series D Preferred Shares shall not have any voting powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as set forth in this Statement of Designation or in the Articles of Incorporation or as provided by applicable law.

Re:OceanPal Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to OceanPal Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1, as filed publicly filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 6, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”), with respect to the Company’s offering (the “Offering”) of up to 52,272,726 of the Company’s units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of (i) one common share of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Shares”) or one pre-funded warrant to purchase one Common Share (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) and (ii) one Class B Warrant to purchase one Common Share (the “Class B Warrants” and together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”).  As used herein, (i) the Common Shares included in each Unit are referred to as the “Unit Shares”, (ii) the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants are referred to as the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”, (iii) the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Class B Warrants are referred to as the “Class B Warrant Shares”, and (iv) the Units, Unit Shares, Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, the Class B Warrant Shares, and Warrants are collectively referred to as the “Securities”).

In our capacity as counsel to the Company, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of: (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the prospectus of the Company (the “Prospectus”) included in the Registration Statement; (iii) the form of Warrant Agency Agreement, to be entered by and between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. that is filed as Exhibit 4.5 to the Registration Statement (the “Warrant Agreement”) and (iv) such corporate documents and records of the Company and such other instruments, certificates and documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In such examinations, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies or drafts of documents to be executed, the genuineness of all signatures and the legal competence or capacity of persons or entities to complete the execution of documents. As to various questions of fact which are material to the opinions hereinafter expressed, we have relied upon statements or certificates of public officials, directors of the Company and others.

We have further assumed for the purposes of this opinion, without investigation, that (i) all documents contemplated by the Prospectus to be executed in connection with the Offering have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto other than the Company, (ii) the

terms of the Offering comply in all respects with the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Prospectus and all of the instruments, agreements and other documents relating thereto or executed in connection therewith, and (iii) all Unit Shares, Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and Class B Warrant Shares will be issued in compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities and other laws (other than the laws of the State of New York and the Republic of the Marshall Islands in respect of which we are opining).

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and having regard for such other legal considerations which we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands:

1.The Securities have been duly authorized by the Company.

2.The Units, when issued, sold and paid for as contemplated in the Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

3.The Unit Shares, when issued, sold and paid for as contemplated in the Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

4.Assuming the Pre-Funded Warrants are issued and delivered as contemplated in the Prospectus, the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, when issued and delivered upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants in accordance with their terms, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

5.Assuming the Class B Warrants are issued and delivered as contemplated in the Prospectus, the Class B Warrant Shares, when issued and delivered against payment therefor upon the exercise of the Class B Warrants in accordance with their terms, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and having regard for such other legal considerations which we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that under the laws of the State of New York:

1.The Warrants, when issued, sold and paid for as contemplated in the Prospectus and in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof (i) may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent obligation, moratorium or other similar laws affecting generally the enforceability of creditors’ rights and remedies or the collection of debtor’s obligations from time to time in effect, and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, including the application of principles of good faith, fair dealing, course of dealing, course of performance, commercial reasonableness, materiality, unconscionability and conflict with public policy and other similar principles; or other law relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.

This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York and the Republic of the Marshall Islands as in effect on the date hereof.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and to each reference to us and the discussions of advice provided by us under the headings “Taxation” and “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus, without admitting we are “experts” within the meaning of the

U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to any part of the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

Very truly yours,

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. (the “Company”, or “OceanPal”, or “OP”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). OP was incorporated by Diana Shipping Inc. (“Diana Shipping” or “DSI”) on April 15, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, having a share capital of 500 shares, par value $0.01 per share, issued to DSI (Note 3 (c)). In November 2021, the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws were amended. Under the amended articles of incorporation, the Company’s authorized share capital increased from 500 common shares to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock at par value $0.01 and 100,000,000 preferred stock at par value $0.01.

On June 24, 2021, OP filed a confidential registration statement on Form 20-F with the US Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to effect a spin-off of three of DSI’s vessel owning subsidiaries together with working capital in exchange of common and preferred stock to DSI and its’ shareholders (the “Spin-Off”) (Note 3 (c)). On November 29, 2021 the registration statement was declared effective. On November 30, 2021, OP began “regular way” trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “OP”.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2022 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

The comparative unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been presented for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021. They include only the accounts of OceanPal Inc. from inception date April 15, 2021 through June 30, 2021, as the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries have been consolidated from November 30, 2021 (i.e. upon the Spin-Off consummation and the acquisition of the three ship-owning subsidiaries by the Company) when the operation of the Company’s vessels started. Operations prior to the November 30, 2021 consisted principally of organizational expenses.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of vessels. Each of the vessels is owned through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company is the sole owner of all outstanding shares of the following subsidiaries:

● Cypres Enterprises Corp., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on September 7, 2000, owner of the 2004 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Protefs (Note 3 (c)),

● Darien Compania Armadora S.A., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on December 22, 1993, owner of the 2005 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Calipso (Note 3 (c)),

● Marfort Navigation Company Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus on August 10, 2007, owner of the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Salt Lake City (Note 3 (c)), and

● Darrit Shipping Company Inc., a company incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall islands on June 02, 2022, for the purposes of acquiring the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Baltimore (Note 4 and 9(d)).

The Company operates its own fleet through Diana Wilhelmsen Management Limited (or “DWM”) (Note 3(a)) and Steamship Shipbroking Enterprises Inc. (or “Steamship”) (Note 3(b)).

Uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russo-Ukrainian conflict: The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international shipping industry into which the Company operates. As of June 30, 2022, the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus continues to unfold.

Additionally, the recent conflict between Russia and the Ukraine, since February 2022, has disrupted supply chains and caused instability in the energy markets and the global economy, which have experienced significant volatility. Several countries announced sanctions against Russia, including sanctions targeting the Russian oil sector, among those a prohibition on the import of oil and coal from Russia, and may impose wider sanctions and take other actions in the future. To date, no apparent consequences have been identified on the Company’s business, or counterparties, by COVID-19 and the conflict in Ukraine and their implications. Currently, none of the Company’s contracts have been affected by the events in Russia and Ukraine.

Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, and as volatility continues, the full extent to which the COVID-19 global pandemic and/or the Russo-Ukrainian war may have direct or indirect impact on the industry and on the Company’s business is difficult to be predicted, whereas it is possible that in the future third parties with whom the Company has or will have contracts may be impacted by such events and sanctions. The related financial reporting implications cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, although they could materially affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition in the future. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change in future periods. The overall impact on the Company’s business, and the efficacy of any measures the Company takes in response to the challenges presented by these geopolitical events, will depend on how those events will further develop, the duration and extent of the restrictive measures that are associated with such events and their impact on global economy and trade, which is still uncertain. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as its charterers’ and other counterparties’ response to the market and continuously evaluates the effect on its operations.

1.Basis of Presentation and General Information

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. (the “Company”, or “OceanPal”, or “OP”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). OP was incorporated by Diana Shipping Inc. (“Diana Shipping” or “DSI”) on April 15, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, having a share capital of 500 shares, par value $0.01 per share, issued to DSI (Note 3 (c)). In November 2021, the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws were amended. Under the amended articles of incorporation, the Company’s authorized share capital increased from 500 common shares to 1,000,000,000 common stock at par value $0.01 and 100,000,000 preferred stock at par value $0.01.

On June 24, 2021, OP filed a confidential registration statement on Form 20-F with the US Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to effect a spin-off of three of DSI’s vessel owning subsidiaries together with working capital in exchange of common and preferred stock to DSI and its’ shareholders (the “Spin-Off”) (Note 3 (c)). On November 29, 2021 the registration statement was declared effective. On November 30, 2021, OP began “regular way” trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “OP”.

The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of vessels. Each of the vessels is owned through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company is the sole owner of all outstanding shares of the following subsidiaries:

● Cypres Enterprises Corp., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on September 7, 2000, owner of the 2004 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Protefs,

● Darien Compania Armadora S.A., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on December 22, 1993, owner of the 2005 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Calipso, and

● Marfort Navigation Company Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus on August 10, 2007, owner of the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Salt Lake City.

The Company operates its own fleet through Diana Wilhelmsen Management Limited (or “DWM”) (Note 3(a)) and Steamship Shipbroking Enterprises Inc. (or “Steamship”) (Note 3(b)).

Financial Statements presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been presented for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021. They include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. from inception date April 15, 2021 and the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries from November 30, 2021 upon the Spin-Off consummation and acquisition of the three ship-owning subsidiaries by the Company. No comparatives are presented, as the Spin-Off has been accounted for as a nonmonetary transfer of assets rather than a spin-off of a business.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international shipping industry into which the Company operates. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, the full extent to which the COVID-19 global pandemic may have direct or indirect impact on the Company’s business and the related financial reporting implications cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, although it could materially affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition in the future. As of December 31, 2021, the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus continues to unfold. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change in future periods. The overall impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, and the efficacy of any measures the Company takes in response to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, will depend on how the outbreak further develops, the duration and extent of the restrictive measures that are associated with the pandemic and their impact on global economy and trade, which is still uncertain. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as its charterers’ response to the severe market disruption via cost cutting and rationalization

of their networks and fleets, and is making necessary preparations to address and mitigate, to the extent possible, the impact of COVID-19 to the Company.

2.Significant Accounting Policies – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the audited consolidated financial statements for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021, as filed on Form 20-F on April 6, 2022. There have been no material changes to these policies in the six month period ended June 30, 2022, except for as discussed below:

Significant accounting policies:

a) Distinguishing liabilities from equity: The Company follows the provisions of ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” to determine the classification of certain freestanding financial instruments as either liabilities or equity. The Company in its assessment for the accounting of the Class A and the prefunded warrants issued in connection with the January 2022 underwritten public offering (Note 6), has taken into consideration ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” and determined that the aforementioned warrants are out of the scope of ASC 480, hence should be classified as equity instead of liability. The Company further analyzed key features of the warrants to determine whether these are more akin to equity or to debt and concluded that the warrants are equity-like. In its assessment, the Company identified certain embedded features, examined whether these fall under the definition of a derivative according to ASC 815 applicable guidance or whether certain of these features affected the classification. Derivative accounting was deemed inappropriate and thus no bifurcation of these features was performed. Upon exercise of the warrants, the holder is entitled to receive common shares.

b) Share Based Payments: The Company issues restricted share awards which are measured at their grant date fair value and are not subsequently re-measured. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Forfeitures of awards

are accounted for when and if they occur. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

2.Significant Accounting Policies

a)Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 “Consolidation”, the Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest, by first considering if an entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary under the VIE model, or if the Company controls an entity through a majority of voting interest based on the voting interest model. The Company evaluates financial instruments, service contracts, and other arrangements to determine if any variable interests relating to an entity exist. The Company’s evaluation did not result in an identification of variable interest entities as of December 31, 2021.

b)Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

c)Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss): The Company has no other comprehensive income/(loss) and accordingly comprehensive income equals net income for the period presented.

d)Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar because the Company’s vessels operate in international shipping markets, and therefore primarily transact business in U.S. dollars. The Company’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in other currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are reflected separately in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

e)Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers highly liquid investments such as time deposits, certificates of deposit and their equivalents with an original maturity of up to about three months to be cash equivalents.

f)Accounts Receivable, Trade: The amount shown as accounts receivable, trade, at each balance sheet date, includes receivables from charterers for hire from lease agreements, net of provisions for doubtful accounts, if any. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. The Company assessed its accounts receivable, trade and its credit risk relating to its charterers, following the outbreak of the COVID-19 and the effect that this could have on its accounts. No provision for doubtful accounts was established as of December 31, 2021.

g)Inventories: Inventories consist of lubricants and victualling which are stated, on a consistent basis, at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized as a loss in earnings in the period in which it occurs. Cost is determined by the first in, first out method. Amounts removed from inventory are also determined by the first in first out method. Inventories may also consist of bunkers when on the balance sheet date a vessel is without employment, or remains idle. Bunkers, if any, are also stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and cost is determined by the first in, first out method.

h)Vessels, net: Vessels are stated at cost which consists of the contract price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition or during construction. Expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise these amounts are charged to

expense as incurred. As at balance sheet date, vessels are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation expense and impairment charge, if any.

i)Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, potential sales and other business plans) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When the estimate of undiscounted projected net operating cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of an asset over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment loss. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, determined mainly by third party valuations.

For vessels, the Company calculates undiscounted projected net operating cash flows by considering the historical and estimated vessels’ performance and utilization with the significant assumption being future charter rates for the unfixed days, using the most recent 10 year average of historical 1 year time charter rates available for each type of vessel over the remaining estimated life of each vessel, net of commissions. Other assumptions used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flow are charter rates calculated for the fixed days using the fixed charter rate of each vessel from existing time charters, the expected outflows for scheduled vessels’ maintenance; vessel operating expenses; fleet utilization, and the vessels’ residual value if sold for scrap. This calculation is then compared with the vessels’ net book value plus unamortized dry-docking costs. The difference between the carrying amount of the vessel plus unamortized dry-docking costs and their fair value is recognized in the Company’s accounts as impairment loss. No impairment loss was identified or recorded in 2021.

j)Vessel Depreciation: Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated salvage (scrap) value. Each vessel’s salvage value is equal to the product of its lightweight tonnage and estimated scrap rate. Management estimates the useful life of the Company’s vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Second hand vessels are depreciated from the date of their acquisition through their remaining estimated useful life. When regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its remaining useful life is adjusted at the date such regulations are adopted.

k)Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs: The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking costs whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next dry-docking is scheduled to become due. Unamortized dry-docking costs of vessels that are sold or impaired are written off and included in the calculation of the resulting gain or loss in the year of the vessel’s sale or impairment.

l)Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

m)Accounting for Revenues and Expenses: Revenues are generated from time charter agreements which contain a lease as they meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842. Agreements with the same charterer are accounted for as separate agreements according to their specific terms and conditions. All agreements contain a minimum non-cancellable period and an extension period at the option of the charterer. Each lease term is assessed at the inception of that lease. Under a time charter agreement, the charterer pays a daily hire for the use of the vessel and reimburses the owner for hold cleanings, extra insurance premiums for navigating in restricted areas and damages caused by the charterers. The charterer pays to third parties port, canal and bunkers consumed during the term of the time charter agreement. Such costs are considered direct costs and are not recorded as they are directly paid by charterers, unless they are for the account of the owner, in which case they are included in voyage expenses. The Company incurs voyage expenses such as commissions, bunkers (fuel oil and diesel oil), and port expenses relating to owners’ matters. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are purchased by the charterer and sold back to the Company on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss, result when a vessel is redelivered by a charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different bunker prices, or quantities. For the period from November 30, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred gain on bunkers amounting to

$63, resulting mainly from the difference in the value of bunkers paid by the Company when the vessel is redelivered to the Company from the charterer under the vessel’s previous time charter agreement and the value of bunkers sold by the Company when the vessel is delivered to a new charterer. This gain in included in “Voyage expenses” in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Under a time charter agreement, the owner pays for the operation and the maintenance of the vessel, including crew, insurance, spares and repairs, which are recognized in operating expenses. Revenues from time charter agreements providing for varying annual rates are accounted for as operating leases and thus recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable rental periods of such agreements, as service is performed. Deferred revenue includes cash received prior to the balance sheet date for which all criteria to recognize as revenue have not been met. The Company, as lessor, has elected not to allocate the consideration in the agreement to the separate lease and non-lease components (operation and maintenance of the vessel) as their timing and pattern of transfer to the charterer, as the lessee, are the same and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, the lease component is considered the predominant component as the Company has assessed that more value is ascribed to the vessel rather than to the services provided under the time charter contracts. The majority of the vessels are employed on short to medium-term time charter contracts, which provides flexibility in responding to market developments. The Company monitors developments in the dry bulk shipping industry on a regular basis and adjusts the charter hire periods for the vessels according to prevailing market conditions.

n)Repairs and Maintenance: All repair and maintenance expenses including underwater inspection expenses are expensed in the year incurred. Such costs are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

o)Earnings / (loss) per Common Share: Basic earnings / (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income / (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised. For purposes of the if-converted calculation, the conversion price of preferred convertible stock is based on the end of the period market price when the conversion price is fixed or on the average market price when the number of shares that may be issued is variable.

p)Segmental Reporting: The Company engages in the operation of dry-bulk vessels which has been identified as one reportable segment. The operation of the vessels is the main source of revenue generation, the services provided by the vessels are similar and they all operate under the same economic environment. Additionally, the vessels do not operate in specific geographic areas, as they trade worldwide; they do not trade in specific trade routes, as their trading (route and cargo) is dictated by the charterers; and the Company does not evaluate the operating results for each type of dry bulk vessel (i.e. Panamax or Capesize) for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance.

q)Fair Value Measurements: The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value and provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The guidance creates a fair value hierarchy of measurement and describes fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. In accordance with the requirements of accounting guidance relating to Fair Value Measurements, the Company classifies and discloses its assets and liabilities carried at the fair value in one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

r)Share Based Payments: The Company issues restricted share awards which are measured at their grant date fair value and are not subsequently re-measured. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award — the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Forfeitures of awards are accounted for when and if they occur. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

s)Going concern: The Company’s policy is in accordance with ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, issued in August 2014 by the FASB. ASU 2014-15 provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and on related required footnote disclosures. Management evaluates, at each reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

t)Financial Instruments, credit losses: At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its financial assets individually for credit losses and presents such assets in the net amount expected to be collected on such financial asset. When financial assets present similar risk characteristics, these are evaluated on a collective basis. When developing an estimate of expected credit losses the Company considers available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows such as internal information, past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. No credit losses were recorded in 2021.

u)Evaluation of Nonmonetary Transactions: When the Company enters into a nonmonetary transaction as defined broadly under ASC 845, it determines whether the transaction is a contribution of an asset or a business by assessing the definition of a business under ASC 805 and whether the transaction is pro-rata. A transaction is considered pro rata if each owner receives an ownership interest in the transferee in proportion to its existing ownership interest in the transferor (even if the transferor retains an ownership interest in the transferee). In accordance with FASB Topic 805 Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired in an acquisition transaction are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, then the set is not a business. To be considered a business, a set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create an output. All assets contributed under nonmonetary transactions that do not meet the definition of a business and include pro rata distributions, are measured at their fair values on the transaction date in accordance with ASC 845, if the fair value is objectively measurable and clearly realizable in an outright sale at or near the distribution.

New Accounting Pronouncements — Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 applies to contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be terminated because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in this Update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. An entity may elect certain optional expedients for hedging relationships that exist as of December 31, 2022 and maintain those optional expedients through the end of the hedging relationship. ASU 2020-04 can be adopted as of March 12, 2020. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU addresses the diversity in practice in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Under the guidance, an issuer determines the accounting for the modification or exchange based on whether the transaction was done to issue equity, to issue or modify debt or for other reasons. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but entities need to apply the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period in which they choose to early adopt

the guidance. The guidance is applied prospectively to all modifications or exchanges that occur on or after the date of adoption. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05 Leases (Topic 842): Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. The ASU amends the lessor lease classification guidance in ASC 842 for leases that include any amount of variable lease payments that are not based on an index or rate. If such a lease meets the criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2 through 25-3 for classification as either a sales-type or direct financing lease, and application of the sales-type or direct financing lease recognition guidance would result in recognition of a selling loss, then the amendments require the lessor to classify the lease as an operating lease. For public business entities that have adopted ASC 842 as of July 19, 2021, the amendments in ASU 2021-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

c) Diana Shipping Inc., or DSI: On November 29, 2021, the Company completed its Spin-Off from DSI. In connection with the Spin-Off, DSI contributed to the Company the three vessel-owning subsidiaries discussed in Note 1 above, together with $1,000 in working capital, whereas as of the same date, shareholders of DSI received one of the Company’s common shares for every ten shares of DSI’s common stock owned at the close of business on November 3, 2021 (i.e., 8,820,240 shares). DSI also received 500,000 of the Company’s Series B Preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and 10,000 of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). DSI did not distribute the Series B

Preferred Stock or the Series C Preferred Stock to its shareholders in connection with the Spin-Off and the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock are non-transferable. The transaction was approved unanimously by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Pursuant to the Contribution and Conveyance agreement dated on November 8, 2021, as amended and restated on November 17, 2021, entered between the Company and DSI, DSI has indemnified the Company and the three vessel-owning subsidiaries discussed in Note 1 above for any and all obligations and other liabilities arising from or relating to the operation, management or employment of the Company’s vessels prior to the effective date of the Spin-Off (November 29, 2021). Additionally, pursuant to a Right of First Refusal agreement entered with DSI, dated November 8, 2021, the Company has been granted a right of first refusal over six identified drybulk carriers owned by DSI, effective as of the consummation of the Spin-Off. According to this right of first refusal, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase one or all of the six identified vessels when and if DSI determines to sell the vessels at fair market value at the time of sale. Pursuant to this right of first refusal, the Company, through one newly wholly-owned subsidiary, entered on June 13, 2022 into a Memorandum of Agreement with DSI, to acquire the Capesize M/V Baltimore. (Note 4 and 9(d)). Furthermore, the Company as of November 2, 2021, has entered into a Non-Competition agreement with DSI pursuant to which DSI has agreed not to compete with the Company for vessel acquisition or chartering opportunities to the extent that such acquisition or chartering opportunities are suitable for the Company or one of the Company’s vessels.

The Spin-Off was accounted for at fair values. The aggregate fair value of $46,040 of the three vessels contributed to the Company on November 29, 2021, was determined through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy by taking into consideration third party valuations which were based on the last done deals of sale of vessels with similar characteristics, such as type, size and age at the specific dates (Note 4). The fair value of other assets contributed to the Company, mainly comprising from lubricating oils and bunkers, approximated their respective carrying value. Series B preferred Stock, which has no economic interest, is recorded at par amounting to $5 and Series C preferred Stock has been recorded at a fair value of $7,570 determined based on valuation obtained by an independent third party for the purposes of the Spin-Off. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was an amount of $70 and $70, respectively, due from DSI, included in “Due from a related party” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, resulting from amounts paid or received by DSI on behalf of OceanPal up to the date of the contribution.

Commitments and Contingencies

5.Commitments and Contingencies

a) Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. The Company accrues for the cost of environmental and other liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. The Company’s vessels are covered for pollution in the amount of $1 billion per vessel per incident, by the P&I Association in which the Company’s vessels are entered. The Company’s vessels are subject to calls payable to their P&I Association and may be subject to supplemental calls which are based on estimates of premium income and anticipated and paid claims. Such estimates are adjusted each year by the Board of Directors of the P&I Association until the closing of the relevant policy year, which generally occurs within three years from the end of the policy year. Supplemental calls, if any, are expensed when they are announced and according to the period they relate to. The Company is not aware of any supplemental calls outstanding in respect of any policy year.

b) As at June 30, 2022, two of the Company’s vessels were fixed under time charter agreements, considered as operating leases accounted for as per ASC 842 requirements, while one vessel was not chartered. The minimum contractual gross charter revenues expected to be generated from fixed and non-cancelable time charter contracts existing as at June 30, 2022 and until their expiration falling within 2022 is estimated at $5,058.

c) As discussed in Notes 3 and 4, in June 13, 2022, the Company entered into a memorandum of agreement, to acquire from DSI the Capesize vessel Baltimore. As at June 30, 2022, the remaining balance to be paid under the contract was $17,600 and was settled in September 21, 2022, upon vessel’s delivery to the new owners through the Company’s newly issued Series D preferred stock (Note 9(d)).

6.Capital Stock and Changes in Capital Accounts

(a) Common Stock

i) Receipt of Nasdaq Notice: On March 8, 2022, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares for 30 consecutive business days, i.e. from January 21, 2022 to March 7, 2022, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the original applicable grace period to regain compliance was 180 days, or until September 5, 2022. On September 6, 2022, the Company was granted an additional 180-day period from the Nasdaq Stock Market, through March 6, 2023, to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company can cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock is $1.00 per share or

higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. During this time, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq (Note 9(c)). At the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 5, 2022, it was approved by the Company’s shareholders that, subject to approval and implementation by the Company’s board of directors, the Company may effect one or more reverse stock splits on its issued shares of common stock, each at a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-10 and in the aggregate at a ratio of not more than one-for-40.

ii) Underwritten Public Offering: On January 12, 2022, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-1, which was declared effective on January 20, 2022. On January 25, 2022, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 15,571,429 units at a price of $0.77 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock (or one pre-funded warrant in lieu of one share of the Company’s common stock) and one Class A warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock and was immediately separated upon issuance. In particular, upon the closing of the offering, 13,071,429 shares of common stock, 2,500,000 prefunded warrants to purchase one share of common stock, and 15,571,429 Class A warrants to purchase one share of common stock were sold.

In addition, the Company had previously agreed with certain of its’ executive officers and significant shareholders (the “selling shareholders”) to register their resale of shares of common stock, whereas an aggregate of 1,777,148 shares of common stock for certain of the selling shareholders were registered in connection with the January 2022 offering. As such, certain selling shareholders sold an aggregate of 628,571 shares of common stock in the offering. Each of the 628,751 shares of common stock sold by the selling shareholders on the primary offering was delivered to the underwriters with one additional Class A warrant to purchase one share of common stock (sold by the Company), on a firm commitment basis. In addition, the underwriter for the offering fully-exercised its option to purchase an additional 1,148,577 common shares sold from the selling shareholders and 1,281,423 common shares along with 2,430,000 Class A warrants sold from the Company (Note 6(b)). Each of the 1,148,577 shares of common stock sold by the selling shareholders upon exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, was sold with one Class A warrant (sold by the Company) to purchase one share of common stock, on a firm commitment basis. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common shares by the selling shareholders and only received the proceeds for the class A warrants sold together with the selling shareholders’ shares of common stock (i.e. 1,777,148 class A warrants in aggregate). As at June 30, 2022, following also the exercise of 4,156,000 Class A warrants and all prefunded warrants, discussed in Note 6(b) below, the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was 29,829,092 common shares. The net proceeds received during the six month period ended June 30, 2022, under the Underwritten Public Offering, including the exercise of Class A and prefunded warrants discussed in Note 6(b) below and after deducting underwriting commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company, amounted to $14,678.

The Class A warrants were immediately exercisable and expire in five years from issuance, i.e. in January 2027. The Company may at any time during the term of its Class A warrants reduce the then current exercise price of each warrant to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company, subject to terms disclosed in each warrants’ agreements. The Class A warrants also contain a cashless exercise provision, whereby if at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement, then the Class A warrants can be exercised by means of a cashless exercise as disclosed in the warrants’ agreements. All Class A warrants are classified in equity, according to the Company’s significant accounting policy. Based on the terms of the Class A warrants’ agreement, each holder of the Class A warrants is, at any time after the issuance of the warrants, entitled to participate in distribution of dividends by the Company, if and when declared, to the same extent that the holder would participate for each common share that such holder would be entitled to receive upon complete exercise of their Class A warrants (Note 6(e)).

(c) Series C Preferred Stock: As at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding with par value $0.01 per share, while as at June 30, 2022, additional 1,982 shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been granted (but not yet issued) under the Company’s amended and restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (Note 6(d)), at a stated value of $1,000 per share with liquidation preference at $1,000. The Series C Preferred

The Series C Preferred Stock has a cumulative preferred dividend accruing from the date of original issuance which is payable on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year at the dividend rate of 8.0% per annum, and is convertible into common shares at the holders’ option commencing upon the first anniversary of the original issue date, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $6.50 and the 10-trading day trailing VWAP of the common shares, subject to certain adjustments or at any time after the issuance date in case of any fundamental change (i.e. liquidation, change of control, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company). DSI however, is prohibited from converting the Series C Preferred Stock into common shares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, DSI (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than 49% of the total outstanding common shares of the Company.

The fair value of the Series C preferred stock awarded, was determined through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy based on valuation obtained by an independent third party for the purposes of the transaction. As at June 30, 2022, 1,982 shares of Series C preferred stock remained reserved for issuance according to the Company’s incentive plan.

c)Series B Preferred Stock to Diana Shipping Inc.:  As at December 31, 2021, the Company had 500,000 Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding with par value $0.01 per share, issued to DSI. The Series B Preferred Stock votes with the common shares of the Company, and each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 2,000 votes on all matters on which the Company’s shareholders are entitled to vote of up to 34% of the total number of votes entitled to be cast for all matters for which

the Company’s shareholders are entitled to vote on, but with no economic rights. To the extent the aggregate voting power of any holder of Series B Preferred Stock, together with any affiliate of such holder, would exceed 49% of the total number of votes that may be cast on any matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, the number of votes of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be automatically reduced so that such holder’s aggregate voting power, together with any affiliate of such holder, is not more than 49%. Furthermore, the Series B Preferred Stock has no dividend, distribution or liquidation rights and cannot be transferred without the consent of the Company except to the holder’s affiliates or successors.

d)Series C Preferred Stock to Diana Shipping Inc.:  As at December 31, 2021, the Company had 10,000  shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding with par value $0.01 per share, at $1,000 per share with liquidation preference at $1,000. The Series C Preferred Stock has no voting rights except (1) in respect of amendments to the Articles of Incorporation which would adversely alter the preferences, powers or rights of the Series C Preferred Stock or (2) in the event that the Company proposes to issue any parity stock if the cumulative dividends payable on outstanding Series C Preferred Stock are in arrears or any senior stock. Also, holders of Series C preferred Stock, rank prior to (i) the holders of common shares, (ii) if issued, any Series A Participating Preferred Stock, and any Series B Preferred Stock and (iii) any other class or series of capital stock established after their original issuance date (i.e. November 29, 2021) with respect to dividends, distributions and payments upon liquidation. The Series C Preferred Stock has a cumulative preferred dividend accruing from the date of original issuance and are payable on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year at the dividend rate of 8.0% per annum, and is convertible into common shares at Diana Shipping’s option commencing upon the first anniversary of the original issue date, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $6.50 and the 10-trading day trailing VWAP of the common shares, subject to certain adjustments or at any time after the issuance date in case of any fundamental change (i.e. liquidation, change of control, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company). Diana Shipping, however, is prohibited from converting the Series C Preferred Stock into common shares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, Diana Shipping (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than 49% of the total outstanding common shares of the Company. The Company in its assessment for the accounting of the Series C Preferred Stock has taken into consideration ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” and determined that the preferred shares should be classified as equity instead of liability. The Company further analyzed key features of the Series C Preferred Stock to determine whether it is more akin to equity or to debt and concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock is equity-like. In its assessment, the Company identified certain embedded features, examined whether these fall under the definition of a derivative according to ASC 815 applicable guidance or whether certain of these features affected the classification. Derivative accounting was deemed inappropriate and thus no bifurcation of these features was performed. For 2021, dividends on Series C preferred stock amounted to $69.

e)Incentive plan:On November 2, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors has approved and the Company has as of November 29, 2021, adopted the Equity Incentive Plan for 1,000,000 common shares, none of which has been granted as of December 31, 2021. Under the Equity Incentive Plan and as amended, the Company’s employees, officers and directors are entitled to receive options to acquire the Company’s common stock. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors or such other committee of the Board as may be designated by the Board. Under the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, the Company’s Board of Directors is able to grant (a) non-qualified stock options, (b) stock appreciation rights, (c) restricted stock, (d) restricted stock units, (e) unrestricted stock, (f) other equity-based or equity-related awards, (g) dividend equivalents and (h) cash awards. No options or stock appreciation rights can be exercisable subsequent to the tenth anniversary of the date on which such Award was granted. Under the Equity Incentive Plan, the Administrator may waive or modify the application of forfeiture of awards of restricted stock and performance shares in connection with cessation of service with the Company (Note 10(e)).

All common stock issued (including any restricted shares issued under the Company’s equity incentive plan, or else) are the Company’s common stock and have equal rights to vote and participate in dividends, subject to forfeiture provisions as set forth in the respective stock award agreements, as applicable. Furthermore, Class A warrants are entitled to receive dividends which are not

refundable, and therefore are considered participating securities for basic earnings per share calculation purposes. Class A warrants do not participate in losses. For the six month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company declared and paid aggregate cash dividends to its common and Class A warrants’ holders of $1,790 and $868, respectively. No dividends were declared during the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021. For the six month period ended June 30, 2022, the calculation of basic earnings/(loss) per share does not treat the non-vested shares (not considered participating securities) as outstanding until the time/service-based vesting restriction has lapsed. Incremental shares are the number of shares assumed issued under the treasury stock method weighted for the periods the non-vested shares were outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from conversion of outstanding Series C preferred convertible stock calculated with the “if converted” method. The dilutive effect of share-based compensation arrangements (following assumed conversion of Series C preferred stock to common under the “if converted method”) and Class A warrants is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes that the “proceeds” upon exercise of these awards or warrants are used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period. No incremental shares were calculated from the application of the treasury stock method for i) the Class A warrants and ii) the share-based compensation arrangements (following assumed conversion of Series C preferred stock to common under the “if converted method”) and the “if converted” method for the Series C convertible preferred stock as the Company incurred losses and the effect of such shares was anti-dilutive. There were no dilutive shares for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021.

Also, loss attributable to common equity holders is adjusted by the amount of dividends on Series C Preferred Stock and dividends on Class A warrants as follows:

			From April 15

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures

8.Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures

Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The ability and willingness of each of the Company’s counterparties to perform their obligations under a contract depend upon a number of factors that are beyond the Company’s control and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the state of the capital markets, the condition of the shipping industry and charter hire rates. The Company’s credit risk with financial institutions is limited as it has temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, placed with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and by receiving payments of hire in advance. The Company, generally, does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2022, charterers that individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s time charter revenues were as follows:

Charterer	June 30, 2022
A	32	%
B	25	%
C	22	%

The maximum aggregate amount of loss due to credit risk that the Company would incur if the aforementioned charterers failed completely to perform according to the terms of the relevant time charter parties, amounted to $214 as of June 30, 2022.

Fair value of assets and liabilities: The carrying values of financial assets reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

The Company can cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock is $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. During this time, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

(d) Vessel Delivery and Issuance of Preferred Stock: On September 20, 2022, the Company took delivery of the M/V Baltimore. On September 21, 2022 the Company paid the remaining of the purchase price (i.e. $17,600) in 25,000 shares of its newly issued 7.0% Series D convertible perpetual preferred shares.

b)Underwritten Public Offering: On January 12, 2022, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-1, which was declared effective on January 21, 2022. On January 25, 2022, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 15,571,429 units at a price of $0.77 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock (or one pre-funded warrant in lieu of one share of the Company’s common stock) and one Class A warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock. In particular, upon the closing of the offering, 13,071,429 shares of common stock, 2,500,000 prefunded warrants to purchase one share of common stock, and 15,571,429 Class A warrants to purchase one share of common stock were sold. In addition, certain selling stockholders affiliated with the Company (the “Selling Stockholders”) sold an aggregate of 628,571 shares of common stock in the offering. Each share of common stock sold by a Selling Stockholder was sold with one Class A warrant to purchase one share of common stock. In addition, the underwriter for the offering fully-exercised its option to purchase an additional 1,148,577 common shares from the Selling Stockholders and 1,281,423 common shares along with 2,430,000 Class A warrants from the Company. All prefunded warrants have been exercised and 14,474,000 Class A warrants remain available for exercise at an exercise price of $0.77 per share for up to an aggregate of the same number of shares of common stock on April 5, 2022. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common shares by the Selling Stockholders.

c)Receipt of Nasdaq Notice: On March 8, 2022, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares for 30 consecutive business days, from January 21, 2022 to March 7, 2022, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the applicable grace period to regain compliance is 180 days, or until September 5, 2022. The Company can cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock is $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. During this time, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq.

d)Dividend declaration: On March 18, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.05 per share for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021.

e)Amendment to Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan: On March 24, 2022, the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan was amended and restated to, among other things, permit grants of Series C Preferred Shares thereunder, in an aggregate amount of up to 10,000 shares.

f)Uncertainties caused by the Russo-Ukrainian War: The recent outbreak of war between Russia and the Ukraine has disrupted supply chains and caused instability in the global economy, while the United States and the European Union, among other countries, announced sanctions against Russia, including sanctions targeting the Russian oil sector, among those a prohibition on the import of oil from Russia to the United States. The ongoing conflict could result in the imposition of further economic sanctions against Russia and the Company’s business may be adversely impacted. Currently, the Company’s charter contracts have not been affected by the events in Russia and Ukraine. However, it is possible that in the future third parties with whom the Company has or will have charter contracts may be impacted by such events. While in general much uncertainty remains regarding the global impact of the conflict in Ukraine, it is possible that such tensions could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

Significant Accounting Policies - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Principles of Consolidation

a)Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 “Consolidation”, the Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest, by first considering if an entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary under the VIE model, or if the Company controls an entity through a majority of voting interest based on the voting interest model. The Company evaluates financial instruments, service contracts, and other arrangements to determine if any variable interests relating to an entity exist. The Company’s evaluation did not result in an identification of variable interest entities as of December 31, 2021.

Distinguishing liabilities from equity

a) Distinguishing liabilities from equity: The Company follows the provisions of ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” to determine the classification of certain freestanding financial instruments as either liabilities or equity. The Company in its assessment for the accounting of the Class A and the prefunded warrants issued in connection with the January 2022 underwritten public offering (Note 6), has taken into consideration ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” and determined that the aforementioned warrants are out of the scope of ASC 480, hence should be classified as equity instead of liability. The Company further analyzed key features of the warrants to determine whether these are more akin to equity or to debt and concluded that the warrants are equity-like. In its assessment, the Company identified certain embedded features, examined whether these fall under the definition of a derivative according to ASC 815 applicable guidance or whether certain of these features affected the classification. Derivative accounting was deemed inappropriate and thus no bifurcation of these features was performed. Upon exercise of the warrants, the holder is entitled to receive common shares.

Use of Estimates

b)Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss)

c)Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss): The Company has no other comprehensive income/(loss) and accordingly comprehensive income equals net income for the period presented.

Foreign Currency Translation

d)Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar because the Company’s vessels operate in international shipping markets, and therefore primarily transact business in U.S. dollars. The Company’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in other currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are reflected separately in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

e)Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers highly liquid investments such as time deposits, certificates of deposit and their equivalents with an original maturity of up to about three months to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable, Trade

f)Accounts Receivable, Trade: The amount shown as accounts receivable, trade, at each balance sheet date, includes receivables from charterers for hire from lease agreements, net of provisions for doubtful accounts, if any. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. The Company assessed its accounts receivable, trade and its credit risk relating to its charterers, following the outbreak of the COVID-19 and the effect that this could have on its accounts. No provision for doubtful accounts was established as of December 31, 2021.

Inventories

g)Inventories: Inventories consist of lubricants and victualling which are stated, on a consistent basis, at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized as a loss in earnings in the period in which it occurs. Cost is determined by the first in, first out method. Amounts removed from inventory are also determined by the first in first out method. Inventories may also consist of bunkers when on the balance sheet date a vessel is without employment, or remains idle. Bunkers, if any, are also stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and cost is determined by the first in, first out method.

Vessels, Net

h)Vessels, net: Vessels are stated at cost which consists of the contract price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition or during construction. Expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise these amounts are charged to

expense as incurred. As at balance sheet date, vessels are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation expense and impairment charge, if any.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

i)Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, potential sales and other business plans) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When the estimate of undiscounted projected net operating cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of an asset over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment loss. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, determined mainly by third party valuations.

For vessels, the Company calculates undiscounted projected net operating cash flows by considering the historical and estimated vessels’ performance and utilization with the significant assumption being future charter rates for the unfixed days, using the most recent 10 year average of historical 1 year time charter rates available for each type of vessel over the remaining estimated life of each vessel, net of commissions. Other assumptions used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flow are charter rates calculated for the fixed days using the fixed charter rate of each vessel from existing time charters, the expected outflows for scheduled vessels’ maintenance; vessel operating expenses; fleet utilization, and the vessels’ residual value if sold for scrap. This calculation is then compared with the vessels’ net book value plus unamortized dry-docking costs. The difference between the carrying amount of the vessel plus unamortized dry-docking costs and their fair value is recognized in the Company’s accounts as impairment loss. No impairment loss was identified or recorded in 2021.

Vessel Depreciation

j)Vessel Depreciation: Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated salvage (scrap) value. Each vessel’s salvage value is equal to the product of its lightweight tonnage and estimated scrap rate. Management estimates the useful life of the Company’s vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Second hand vessels are depreciated from the date of their acquisition through their remaining estimated useful life. When regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its remaining useful life is adjusted at the date such regulations are adopted.

Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs

k)Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs: The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking costs whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next dry-docking is scheduled to become due. Unamortized dry-docking costs of vessels that are sold or impaired are written off and included in the calculation of the resulting gain or loss in the year of the vessel’s sale or impairment.

Concentration of Credit Risk

l)Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

Accounting for Revenues and Expenses

m)Accounting for Revenues and Expenses: Revenues are generated from time charter agreements which contain a lease as they meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842. Agreements with the same charterer are accounted for as separate agreements according to their specific terms and conditions. All agreements contain a minimum non-cancellable period and an extension period at the option of the charterer. Each lease term is assessed at the inception of that lease. Under a time charter agreement, the charterer pays a daily hire for the use of the vessel and reimburses the owner for hold cleanings, extra insurance premiums for navigating in restricted areas and damages caused by the charterers. The charterer pays to third parties port, canal and bunkers consumed during the term of the time charter agreement. Such costs are considered direct costs and are not recorded as they are directly paid by charterers, unless they are for the account of the owner, in which case they are included in voyage expenses. The Company incurs voyage expenses such as commissions, bunkers (fuel oil and diesel oil), and port expenses relating to owners’ matters. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are purchased by the charterer and sold back to the Company on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss, result when a vessel is redelivered by a charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different bunker prices, or quantities. For the period from November 30, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred gain on bunkers amounting to

$63, resulting mainly from the difference in the value of bunkers paid by the Company when the vessel is redelivered to the Company from the charterer under the vessel’s previous time charter agreement and the value of bunkers sold by the Company when the vessel is delivered to a new charterer. This gain in included in “Voyage expenses” in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Under a time charter agreement, the owner pays for the operation and the maintenance of the vessel, including crew, insurance, spares and repairs, which are recognized in operating expenses. Revenues from time charter agreements providing for varying annual rates are accounted for as operating leases and thus recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable rental periods of such agreements, as service is performed. Deferred revenue includes cash received prior to the balance sheet date for which all criteria to recognize as revenue have not been met. The Company, as lessor, has elected not to allocate the consideration in the agreement to the separate lease and non-lease components (operation and maintenance of the vessel) as their timing and pattern of transfer to the charterer, as the lessee, are the same and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, the lease component is considered the predominant component as the Company has assessed that more value is ascribed to the vessel rather than to the services provided under the time charter contracts. The majority of the vessels are employed on short to medium-term time charter contracts, which provides flexibility in responding to market developments. The Company monitors developments in the dry bulk shipping industry on a regular basis and adjusts the charter hire periods for the vessels according to prevailing market conditions.

Repairs and Maintenance

n)Repairs and Maintenance: All repair and maintenance expenses including underwater inspection expenses are expensed in the year incurred. Such costs are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Earnings / (loss) per Common Share

o)Earnings / (loss) per Common Share: Basic earnings / (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income / (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised. For purposes of the if-converted calculation, the conversion price of preferred convertible stock is based on the end of the period market price when the conversion price is fixed or on the average market price when the number of shares that may be issued is variable.

Segmental Reporting

p)Segmental Reporting: The Company engages in the operation of dry-bulk vessels which has been identified as one reportable segment. The operation of the vessels is the main source of revenue generation, the services provided by the vessels are similar and they all operate under the same economic environment. Additionally, the vessels do not operate in specific geographic areas, as they trade worldwide; they do not trade in specific trade routes, as their trading (route and cargo) is dictated by the charterers; and the Company does not evaluate the operating results for each type of dry bulk vessel (i.e. Panamax or Capesize) for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance.

Fair Value Measurements

q)Fair Value Measurements: The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value and provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The guidance creates a fair value hierarchy of measurement and describes fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. In accordance with the requirements of accounting guidance relating to Fair Value Measurements, the Company classifies and discloses its assets and liabilities carried at the fair value in one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Share Based Payments

b) Share Based Payments: The Company issues restricted share awards which are measured at their grant date fair value and are not subsequently re-measured. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Forfeitures of awards

are accounted for when and if they occur. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

r)Share Based Payments: The Company issues restricted share awards which are measured at their grant date fair value and are not subsequently re-measured. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award — the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Forfeitures of awards are accounted for when and if they occur. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

Going concern

s)Going concern: The Company’s policy is in accordance with ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, issued in August 2014 by the FASB. ASU 2014-15 provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and on related required footnote disclosures. Management evaluates, at each reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

Financial instruments, credit losses

t)Financial Instruments, credit losses: At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its financial assets individually for credit losses and presents such assets in the net amount expected to be collected on such financial asset. When financial assets present similar risk characteristics, these are evaluated on a collective basis. When developing an estimate of expected credit losses the Company considers available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows such as internal information, past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. No credit losses were recorded in 2021.

Evaluation of Nonmonetary Transactions

u)Evaluation of Nonmonetary Transactions: When the Company enters into a nonmonetary transaction as defined broadly under ASC 845, it determines whether the transaction is a contribution of an asset or a business by assessing the definition of a business under ASC 805 and whether the transaction is pro-rata. A transaction is considered pro rata if each owner receives an ownership interest in the transferee in proportion to its existing ownership interest in the transferor (even if the transferor retains an ownership interest in the transferee). In accordance with FASB Topic 805 Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired in an acquisition transaction are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, then the set is not a business. To be considered a business, a set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create an output. All assets contributed under nonmonetary transactions that do not meet the definition of a business and include pro rata distributions, are measured at their fair values on the transaction date in accordance with ASC 845, if the fair value is objectively measurable and clearly realizable in an outright sale at or near the distribution.

New Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

New Accounting Pronouncements — Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 applies to contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be terminated because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in this Update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. An entity may elect certain optional expedients for hedging relationships that exist as of December 31, 2022 and maintain those optional expedients through the end of the hedging relationship. ASU 2020-04 can be adopted as of March 12, 2020. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU addresses the diversity in practice in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Under the guidance, an issuer determines the accounting for the modification or exchange based on whether the transaction was done to issue equity, to issue or modify debt or for other reasons. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but entities need to apply the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period in which they choose to early adopt

the guidance. The guidance is applied prospectively to all modifications or exchanges that occur on or after the date of adoption. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05 Leases (Topic 842): Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. The ASU amends the lessor lease classification guidance in ASC 842 for leases that include any amount of variable lease payments that are not based on an index or rate. If such a lease meets the criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2 through 25-3 for classification as either a sales-type or direct financing lease, and application of the sales-type or direct financing lease recognition guidance would result in recognition of a selling loss, then the amendments require the lessor to classify the lease as an operating lease. For public business entities that have adopted ASC 842 as of July 19, 2021, the amendments in ASU 2021-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. (the “Company”, or “OceanPal”, or “OP”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). OP was incorporated by Diana Shipping Inc. (“Diana Shipping” or “DSI”) on April 15, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, having a share capital of 500 shares, par value $0.01 per share, issued to DSI (Note 3 (c)). In November 2021, the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws were amended. Under the amended articles of incorporation, the Company’s authorized share capital increased from 500 common shares to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock at par value $0.01 and 100,000,000 preferred stock at par value $0.01.

On June 24, 2021, OP filed a confidential registration statement on Form 20-F with the US Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to effect a spin-off of three of DSI’s vessel owning subsidiaries together with working capital in exchange of common and preferred stock to DSI and its’ shareholders (the “Spin-Off”) (Note 3 (c)). On November 29, 2021 the registration statement was declared effective. On November 30, 2021, OP began “regular way” trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “OP”.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2022 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

The comparative unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been presented for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021. They include only the accounts of OceanPal Inc. from inception date April 15, 2021 through June 30, 2021, as the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries have been consolidated from November 30, 2021 (i.e. upon the Spin-Off consummation and the acquisition of the three ship-owning subsidiaries by the Company) when the operation of the Company’s vessels started. Operations prior to the November 30, 2021 consisted principally of organizational expenses.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of vessels. Each of the vessels is owned through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company is the sole owner of all outstanding shares of the following subsidiaries:

● Cypres Enterprises Corp., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on September 7, 2000, owner of the 2004 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Protefs (Note 3 (c)),

● Darien Compania Armadora S.A., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on December 22, 1993, owner of the 2005 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Calipso (Note 3 (c)),

● Marfort Navigation Company Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus on August 10, 2007, owner of the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Salt Lake City (Note 3 (c)), and

● Darrit Shipping Company Inc., a company incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall islands on June 02, 2022, for the purposes of acquiring the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Baltimore (Note 4 and 9(d)).

The Company operates its own fleet through Diana Wilhelmsen Management Limited (or “DWM”) (Note 3(a)) and Steamship Shipbroking Enterprises Inc. (or “Steamship”) (Note 3(b)).

Uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russo-Ukrainian conflict: The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international shipping industry into which the Company operates. As of June 30, 2022, the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus continues to unfold.

Additionally, the recent conflict between Russia and the Ukraine, since February 2022, has disrupted supply chains and caused instability in the energy markets and the global economy, which have experienced significant volatility. Several countries announced sanctions against Russia, including sanctions targeting the Russian oil sector, among those a prohibition on the import of oil and coal from Russia, and may impose wider sanctions and take other actions in the future. To date, no apparent consequences have been identified on the Company’s business, or counterparties, by COVID-19 and the conflict in Ukraine and their implications. Currently, none of the Company’s contracts have been affected by the events in Russia and Ukraine.

Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, and as volatility continues, the full extent to which the COVID-19 global pandemic and/or the Russo-Ukrainian war may have direct or indirect impact on the industry and on the Company’s business is difficult to be predicted, whereas it is possible that in the future third parties with whom the Company has or will have contracts may be impacted by such events and sanctions. The related financial reporting implications cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, although they could materially affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition in the future. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change in future periods. The overall impact on the Company’s business, and the efficacy of any measures the Company takes in response to the challenges presented by these geopolitical events, will depend on how those events will further develop, the duration and extent of the restrictive measures that are associated with such events and their impact on global economy and trade, which is still uncertain. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as its charterers’ and other counterparties’ response to the market and continuously evaluates the effect on its operations.

1.Basis of Presentation and General Information

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. (the “Company”, or “OceanPal”, or “OP”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). OP was incorporated by Diana Shipping Inc. (“Diana Shipping” or “DSI”) on April 15, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, having a share capital of 500 shares, par value $0.01 per share, issued to DSI (Note 3 (c)). In November 2021, the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws were amended. Under the amended articles of incorporation, the Company’s authorized share capital increased from 500 common shares to 1,000,000,000 common stock at par value $0.01 and 100,000,000 preferred stock at par value $0.01.

On June 24, 2021, OP filed a confidential registration statement on Form 20-F with the US Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to effect a spin-off of three of DSI’s vessel owning subsidiaries together with working capital in exchange of common and preferred stock to DSI and its’ shareholders (the “Spin-Off”) (Note 3 (c)). On November 29, 2021 the registration statement was declared effective. On November 30, 2021, OP began “regular way” trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “OP”.

The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of vessels. Each of the vessels is owned through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company is the sole owner of all outstanding shares of the following subsidiaries:

● Cypres Enterprises Corp., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on September 7, 2000, owner of the 2004 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Protefs,

● Darien Compania Armadora S.A., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on December 22, 1993, owner of the 2005 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Calipso, and

● Marfort Navigation Company Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus on August 10, 2007, owner of the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Salt Lake City.

The Company operates its own fleet through Diana Wilhelmsen Management Limited (or “DWM”) (Note 3(a)) and Steamship Shipbroking Enterprises Inc. (or “Steamship”) (Note 3(b)).

Financial Statements presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been presented for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021. They include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. from inception date April 15, 2021 and the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries from November 30, 2021 upon the Spin-Off consummation and acquisition of the three ship-owning subsidiaries by the Company. No comparatives are presented, as the Spin-Off has been accounted for as a nonmonetary transfer of assets rather than a spin-off of a business.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international shipping industry into which the Company operates. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, the full extent to which the COVID-19 global pandemic may have direct or indirect impact on the Company’s business and the related financial reporting implications cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, although it could materially affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition in the future. As of December 31, 2021, the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus continues to unfold. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change in future periods. The overall impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, and the efficacy of any measures the Company takes in response to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, will depend on how the outbreak further develops, the duration and extent of the restrictive measures that are associated with the pandemic and their impact on global economy and trade, which is still uncertain. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as its charterers’ response to the severe market disruption via cost cutting and rationalization

of their networks and fleets, and is making necessary preparations to address and mitigate, to the extent possible, the impact of COVID-19 to the Company.

Significant Policies

2.Significant Accounting Policies – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the audited consolidated financial statements for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021, as filed on Form 20-F on April 6, 2022. There have been no material changes to these policies in the six month period ended June 30, 2022, except for as discussed below:

Significant accounting policies:

a) Distinguishing liabilities from equity: The Company follows the provisions of ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” to determine the classification of certain freestanding financial instruments as either liabilities or equity. The Company in its assessment for the accounting of the Class A and the prefunded warrants issued in connection with the January 2022 underwritten public offering (Note 6), has taken into consideration ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” and determined that the aforementioned warrants are out of the scope of ASC 480, hence should be classified as equity instead of liability. The Company further analyzed key features of the warrants to determine whether these are more akin to equity or to debt and concluded that the warrants are equity-like. In its assessment, the Company identified certain embedded features, examined whether these fall under the definition of a derivative according to ASC 815 applicable guidance or whether certain of these features affected the classification. Derivative accounting was deemed inappropriate and thus no bifurcation of these features was performed. Upon exercise of the warrants, the holder is entitled to receive common shares.

b) Share Based Payments: The Company issues restricted share awards which are measured at their grant date fair value and are not subsequently re-measured. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Forfeitures of awards

are accounted for when and if they occur. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

2.Significant Accounting Policies

a)Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 “Consolidation”, the Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest, by first considering if an entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary under the VIE model, or if the Company controls an entity through a majority of voting interest based on the voting interest model. The Company evaluates financial instruments, service contracts, and other arrangements to determine if any variable interests relating to an entity exist. The Company’s evaluation did not result in an identification of variable interest entities as of December 31, 2021.

b)Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

c)Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss): The Company has no other comprehensive income/(loss) and accordingly comprehensive income equals net income for the period presented.

d)Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar because the Company’s vessels operate in international shipping markets, and therefore primarily transact business in U.S. dollars. The Company’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in other currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are reflected separately in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

e)Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers highly liquid investments such as time deposits, certificates of deposit and their equivalents with an original maturity of up to about three months to be cash equivalents.

f)Accounts Receivable, Trade: The amount shown as accounts receivable, trade, at each balance sheet date, includes receivables from charterers for hire from lease agreements, net of provisions for doubtful accounts, if any. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. The Company assessed its accounts receivable, trade and its credit risk relating to its charterers, following the outbreak of the COVID-19 and the effect that this could have on its accounts. No provision for doubtful accounts was established as of December 31, 2021.

g)Inventories: Inventories consist of lubricants and victualling which are stated, on a consistent basis, at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized as a loss in earnings in the period in which it occurs. Cost is determined by the first in, first out method. Amounts removed from inventory are also determined by the first in first out method. Inventories may also consist of bunkers when on the balance sheet date a vessel is without employment, or remains idle. Bunkers, if any, are also stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and cost is determined by the first in, first out method.

h)Vessels, net: Vessels are stated at cost which consists of the contract price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition or during construction. Expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise these amounts are charged to

expense as incurred. As at balance sheet date, vessels are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation expense and impairment charge, if any.

i)Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, potential sales and other business plans) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When the estimate of undiscounted projected net operating cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of an asset over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment loss. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, determined mainly by third party valuations.

For vessels, the Company calculates undiscounted projected net operating cash flows by considering the historical and estimated vessels’ performance and utilization with the significant assumption being future charter rates for the unfixed days, using the most recent 10 year average of historical 1 year time charter rates available for each type of vessel over the remaining estimated life of each vessel, net of commissions. Other assumptions used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flow are charter rates calculated for the fixed days using the fixed charter rate of each vessel from existing time charters, the expected outflows for scheduled vessels’ maintenance; vessel operating expenses; fleet utilization, and the vessels’ residual value if sold for scrap. This calculation is then compared with the vessels’ net book value plus unamortized dry-docking costs. The difference between the carrying amount of the vessel plus unamortized dry-docking costs and their fair value is recognized in the Company’s accounts as impairment loss. No impairment loss was identified or recorded in 2021.

j)Vessel Depreciation: Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated salvage (scrap) value. Each vessel’s salvage value is equal to the product of its lightweight tonnage and estimated scrap rate. Management estimates the useful life of the Company’s vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Second hand vessels are depreciated from the date of their acquisition through their remaining estimated useful life. When regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its remaining useful life is adjusted at the date such regulations are adopted.

k)Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs: The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking costs whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next dry-docking is scheduled to become due. Unamortized dry-docking costs of vessels that are sold or impaired are written off and included in the calculation of the resulting gain or loss in the year of the vessel’s sale or impairment.

l)Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

m)Accounting for Revenues and Expenses: Revenues are generated from time charter agreements which contain a lease as they meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842. Agreements with the same charterer are accounted for as separate agreements according to their specific terms and conditions. All agreements contain a minimum non-cancellable period and an extension period at the option of the charterer. Each lease term is assessed at the inception of that lease. Under a time charter agreement, the charterer pays a daily hire for the use of the vessel and reimburses the owner for hold cleanings, extra insurance premiums for navigating in restricted areas and damages caused by the charterers. The charterer pays to third parties port, canal and bunkers consumed during the term of the time charter agreement. Such costs are considered direct costs and are not recorded as they are directly paid by charterers, unless they are for the account of the owner, in which case they are included in voyage expenses. The Company incurs voyage expenses such as commissions, bunkers (fuel oil and diesel oil), and port expenses relating to owners’ matters. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are purchased by the charterer and sold back to the Company on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss, result when a vessel is redelivered by a charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different bunker prices, or quantities. For the period from November 30, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred gain on bunkers amounting to

$63, resulting mainly from the difference in the value of bunkers paid by the Company when the vessel is redelivered to the Company from the charterer under the vessel’s previous time charter agreement and the value of bunkers sold by the Company when the vessel is delivered to a new charterer. This gain in included in “Voyage expenses” in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Under a time charter agreement, the owner pays for the operation and the maintenance of the vessel, including crew, insurance, spares and repairs, which are recognized in operating expenses. Revenues from time charter agreements providing for varying annual rates are accounted for as operating leases and thus recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable rental periods of such agreements, as service is performed. Deferred revenue includes cash received prior to the balance sheet date for which all criteria to recognize as revenue have not been met. The Company, as lessor, has elected not to allocate the consideration in the agreement to the separate lease and non-lease components (operation and maintenance of the vessel) as their timing and pattern of transfer to the charterer, as the lessee, are the same and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, the lease component is considered the predominant component as the Company has assessed that more value is ascribed to the vessel rather than to the services provided under the time charter contracts. The majority of the vessels are employed on short to medium-term time charter contracts, which provides flexibility in responding to market developments. The Company monitors developments in the dry bulk shipping industry on a regular basis and adjusts the charter hire periods for the vessels according to prevailing market conditions.

n)Repairs and Maintenance: All repair and maintenance expenses including underwater inspection expenses are expensed in the year incurred. Such costs are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

o)Earnings / (loss) per Common Share: Basic earnings / (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income / (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised. For purposes of the if-converted calculation, the conversion price of preferred convertible stock is based on the end of the period market price when the conversion price is fixed or on the average market price when the number of shares that may be issued is variable.

p)Segmental Reporting: The Company engages in the operation of dry-bulk vessels which has been identified as one reportable segment. The operation of the vessels is the main source of revenue generation, the services provided by the vessels are similar and they all operate under the same economic environment. Additionally, the vessels do not operate in specific geographic areas, as they trade worldwide; they do not trade in specific trade routes, as their trading (route and cargo) is dictated by the charterers; and the Company does not evaluate the operating results for each type of dry bulk vessel (i.e. Panamax or Capesize) for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance.

q)Fair Value Measurements: The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value and provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The guidance creates a fair value hierarchy of measurement and describes fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. In accordance with the requirements of accounting guidance relating to Fair Value Measurements, the Company classifies and discloses its assets and liabilities carried at the fair value in one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

r)Share Based Payments: The Company issues restricted share awards which are measured at their grant date fair value and are not subsequently re-measured. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award — the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Forfeitures of awards are accounted for when and if they occur. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

s)Going concern: The Company’s policy is in accordance with ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, issued in August 2014 by the FASB. ASU 2014-15 provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and on related required footnote disclosures. Management evaluates, at each reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

t)Financial Instruments, credit losses: At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its financial assets individually for credit losses and presents such assets in the net amount expected to be collected on such financial asset. When financial assets present similar risk characteristics, these are evaluated on a collective basis. When developing an estimate of expected credit losses the Company considers available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows such as internal information, past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. No credit losses were recorded in 2021.

u)Evaluation of Nonmonetary Transactions: When the Company enters into a nonmonetary transaction as defined broadly under ASC 845, it determines whether the transaction is a contribution of an asset or a business by assessing the definition of a business under ASC 805 and whether the transaction is pro-rata. A transaction is considered pro rata if each owner receives an ownership interest in the transferee in proportion to its existing ownership interest in the transferor (even if the transferor retains an ownership interest in the transferee). In accordance with FASB Topic 805 Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired in an acquisition transaction are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, then the set is not a business. To be considered a business, a set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create an output. All assets contributed under nonmonetary transactions that do not meet the definition of a business and include pro rata distributions, are measured at their fair values on the transaction date in accordance with ASC 845, if the fair value is objectively measurable and clearly realizable in an outright sale at or near the distribution.

New Accounting Pronouncements — Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 applies to contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be terminated because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in this Update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. An entity may elect certain optional expedients for hedging relationships that exist as of December 31, 2022 and maintain those optional expedients through the end of the hedging relationship. ASU 2020-04 can be adopted as of March 12, 2020. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU addresses the diversity in practice in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Under the guidance, an issuer determines the accounting for the modification or exchange based on whether the transaction was done to issue equity, to issue or modify debt or for other reasons. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but entities need to apply the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period in which they choose to early adopt

the guidance. The guidance is applied prospectively to all modifications or exchanges that occur on or after the date of adoption. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05 Leases (Topic 842): Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. The ASU amends the lessor lease classification guidance in ASC 842 for leases that include any amount of variable lease payments that are not based on an index or rate. If such a lease meets the criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2 through 25-3 for classification as either a sales-type or direct financing lease, and application of the sales-type or direct financing lease recognition guidance would result in recognition of a selling loss, then the amendments require the lessor to classify the lease as an operating lease. For public business entities that have adopted ASC 842 as of July 19, 2021, the amendments in ASU 2021-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The aggregate fair value of $46,040 of the three vessels contributed to the Company on November 29, 2021, was determined through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy by taking into consideration third party valuations which were based on the last done deals of sale of vessels with similar characteristics, such as type, size and age at the specific dates (Note 4). The fair value of other assets contributed to the Company, mainly comprising from lubricating oils and bunkers, approximated their respective carrying value. Series B preferred Stock, which has no economic interest, is recorded at par amounting to $5 and Series C preferred Stock has been recorded at a fair value of $7,570 determined based on valuation obtained by an independent third party for the purposes of the Spin-Off. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was an amount of $70 and $70, respectively, due from DSI, included in “Due from a related party” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, resulting from amounts paid or received by DSI on behalf of OceanPal up to the date of the contribution.

Commitments and Contingencies

5.Commitments and Contingencies

a) Various claims, suits, and complaints, including those involving government regulations and product liability, arise in the ordinary course of the shipping business. In addition, losses may arise from disputes with charterers, agents, insurance and other claims with suppliers relating to the operations of the Company’s vessels. The Company accrues for the cost of environmental and other liabilities when management becomes aware that a liability is probable and is able to reasonably estimate the probable exposure. The Company’s vessels are covered for pollution in the amount of $1 billion per vessel per incident, by the P&I Association in which the Company’s vessels are entered. The Company’s vessels are subject to calls payable to their P&I Association and may be subject to supplemental calls which are based on estimates of premium income and anticipated and paid claims. Such estimates are adjusted each year by the Board of Directors of the P&I Association until the closing of the relevant policy year, which generally occurs within three years from the end of the policy year. Supplemental calls, if any, are expensed when they are announced and according to the period they relate to. The Company is not aware of any supplemental calls outstanding in respect of any policy year.

b) As at June 30, 2022, two of the Company’s vessels were fixed under time charter agreements, considered as operating leases accounted for as per ASC 842 requirements, while one vessel was not chartered. The minimum contractual gross charter revenues expected to be generated from fixed and non-cancelable time charter contracts existing as at June 30, 2022 and until their expiration falling within 2022 is estimated at $5,058.

c) As discussed in Notes 3 and 4, in June 13, 2022, the Company entered into a memorandum of agreement, to acquire from DSI the Capesize vessel Baltimore. As at June 30, 2022, the remaining balance to be paid under the contract was $17,600 and was settled in September 21, 2022, upon vessel’s delivery to the new owners through the Company’s newly issued Series D preferred stock (Note 9(d)).

6.Capital Stock and Changes in Capital Accounts

(a) Common Stock

i) Receipt of Nasdaq Notice: On March 8, 2022, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares for 30 consecutive business days, i.e. from January 21, 2022 to March 7, 2022, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the original applicable grace period to regain compliance was 180 days, or until September 5, 2022. On September 6, 2022, the Company was granted an additional 180-day period from the Nasdaq Stock Market, through March 6, 2023, to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company can cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock is $1.00 per share or

higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. During this time, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq (Note 9(c)). At the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 5, 2022, it was approved by the Company’s shareholders that, subject to approval and implementation by the Company’s board of directors, the Company may effect one or more reverse stock splits on its issued shares of common stock, each at a ratio of not less than one-for-two and not more than one-for-10 and in the aggregate at a ratio of not more than one-for-40.

ii) Underwritten Public Offering: On January 12, 2022, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-1, which was declared effective on January 20, 2022. On January 25, 2022, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 15,571,429 units at a price of $0.77 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock (or one pre-funded warrant in lieu of one share of the Company’s common stock) and one Class A warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock and was immediately separated upon issuance. In particular, upon the closing of the offering, 13,071,429 shares of common stock, 2,500,000 prefunded warrants to purchase one share of common stock, and 15,571,429 Class A warrants to purchase one share of common stock were sold.

In addition, the Company had previously agreed with certain of its’ executive officers and significant shareholders (the “selling shareholders”) to register their resale of shares of common stock, whereas an aggregate of 1,777,148 shares of common stock for certain of the selling shareholders were registered in connection with the January 2022 offering. As such, certain selling shareholders sold an aggregate of 628,571 shares of common stock in the offering. Each of the 628,751 shares of common stock sold by the selling shareholders on the primary offering was delivered to the underwriters with one additional Class A warrant to purchase one share of common stock (sold by the Company), on a firm commitment basis. In addition, the underwriter for the offering fully-exercised its option to purchase an additional 1,148,577 common shares sold from the selling shareholders and 1,281,423 common shares along with 2,430,000 Class A warrants sold from the Company (Note 6(b)). Each of the 1,148,577 shares of common stock sold by the selling shareholders upon exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, was sold with one Class A warrant (sold by the Company) to purchase one share of common stock, on a firm commitment basis. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common shares by the selling shareholders and only received the proceeds for the class A warrants sold together with the selling shareholders’ shares of common stock (i.e. 1,777,148 class A warrants in aggregate). As at June 30, 2022, following also the exercise of 4,156,000 Class A warrants and all prefunded warrants, discussed in Note 6(b) below, the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock was 29,829,092 common shares. The net proceeds received during the six month period ended June 30, 2022, under the Underwritten Public Offering, including the exercise of Class A and prefunded warrants discussed in Note 6(b) below and after deducting underwriting commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company, amounted to $14,678.

The Class A warrants were immediately exercisable and expire in five years from issuance, i.e. in January 2027. The Company may at any time during the term of its Class A warrants reduce the then current exercise price of each warrant to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company, subject to terms disclosed in each warrants’ agreements. The Class A warrants also contain a cashless exercise provision, whereby if at the time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement, then the Class A warrants can be exercised by means of a cashless exercise as disclosed in the warrants’ agreements. All Class A warrants are classified in equity, according to the Company’s significant accounting policy. Based on the terms of the Class A warrants’ agreement, each holder of the Class A warrants is, at any time after the issuance of the warrants, entitled to participate in distribution of dividends by the Company, if and when declared, to the same extent that the holder would participate for each common share that such holder would be entitled to receive upon complete exercise of their Class A warrants (Note 6(e)).

(c) Series C Preferred Stock: As at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had 10,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding with par value $0.01 per share, while as at June 30, 2022, additional 1,982 shares of Series C Preferred Stock have been granted (but not yet issued) under the Company’s amended and restated 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (Note 6(d)), at a stated value of $1,000 per share with liquidation preference at $1,000. The Series C Preferred

The Series C Preferred Stock has a cumulative preferred dividend accruing from the date of original issuance which is payable on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year at the dividend rate of 8.0% per annum, and is convertible into common shares at the holders’ option commencing upon the first anniversary of the original issue date, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $6.50 and the 10-trading day trailing VWAP of the common shares, subject to certain adjustments or at any time after the issuance date in case of any fundamental change (i.e. liquidation, change of control, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company). DSI however, is prohibited from converting the Series C Preferred Stock into common shares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, DSI (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than 49% of the total outstanding common shares of the Company. For the six month period ended June 30, 2022 dividends declared and dividends paid on Series C preferred stock amounted to $471 and $300, respectively (Note 9(a)).

The fair value of the Series C preferred stock awarded, was determined through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy based on valuation obtained by an independent third party for the purposes of the transaction. As at June 30, 2022, 1,982 shares of Series C preferred stock remained reserved for issuance according to the Company’s incentive plan.

b)Preferred Stock:  Under the Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation, authorized preferred stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which (i) 1,000,000 shares are designated as Series A Participating Preferred Stock, none of which was issued and outstanding as of November 29, 2021, (ii) 500,000 shares are designated Series B Preferred Stock, all of which were issued and outstanding as of November 29, 2021, and (iii) 10,000 shares are designated Series C Preferred Stock, all of which were issued and outstanding as of November 29, 2021. All of the Company’s shares of preferred stock are in registered form. As at December 31, 2021, the Company’s authorized preferred stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 1,000,000 are designated as Series A Participating Preferred Stock, 500,000 are designated as Series B Preferred Stock and 10,000 are designated as Series C Preferred Stock (Notes 3(c), 6(c) and 6(d)). As of December 31, 2021, there is no Series A Participating Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
​

c)Series B Preferred Stock to Diana Shipping Inc.:  As at December 31, 2021, the Company had 500,000 Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding with par value $0.01 per share, issued to DSI. The Series B Preferred Stock votes with the common shares of the Company, and each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 2,000 votes on all matters on which the Company’s shareholders are entitled to vote of up to 34% of the total number of votes entitled to be cast for all matters for which

the Company’s shareholders are entitled to vote on, but with no economic rights. To the extent the aggregate voting power of any holder of Series B Preferred Stock, together with any affiliate of such holder, would exceed 49% of the total number of votes that may be cast on any matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders, the number of votes of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be automatically reduced so that such holder’s aggregate voting power, together with any affiliate of such holder, is not more than 49%. Furthermore, the Series B Preferred Stock has no dividend, distribution or liquidation rights and cannot be transferred without the consent of the Company except to the holder’s affiliates or successors.

d)Series C Preferred Stock to Diana Shipping Inc.:  As at December 31, 2021, the Company had 10,000  shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding with par value $0.01 per share, at $1,000 per share with liquidation preference at $1,000. The Series C Preferred Stock has no voting rights except (1) in respect of amendments to the Articles of Incorporation which would adversely alter the preferences, powers or rights of the Series C Preferred Stock or (2) in the event that the Company proposes to issue any parity stock if the cumulative dividends payable on outstanding Series C Preferred Stock are in arrears or any senior stock. Also, holders of Series C preferred Stock, rank prior to (i) the holders of common shares, (ii) if issued, any Series A Participating Preferred Stock, and any Series B Preferred Stock and (iii) any other class or series of capital stock established after their original issuance date (i.e. November 29, 2021) with respect to dividends, distributions and payments upon liquidation. The Series C Preferred Stock has a cumulative preferred dividend accruing from the date of original issuance and are payable on the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year at the dividend rate of 8.0% per annum, and is convertible into common shares at Diana Shipping’s option commencing upon the first anniversary of the original issue date, at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $6.50 and the 10-trading day trailing VWAP of the common shares, subject to certain adjustments or at any time after the issuance date in case of any fundamental change (i.e. liquidation, change of control, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company). Diana Shipping, however, is prohibited from converting the Series C Preferred Stock into common shares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, Diana Shipping (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than 49% of the total outstanding common shares of the Company. The Company in its assessment for the accounting of the Series C Preferred Stock has taken into consideration ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” and determined that the preferred shares should be classified as equity instead of liability. The Company further analyzed key features of the Series C Preferred Stock to determine whether it is more akin to equity or to debt and concluded that the Series C Preferred Stock is equity-like. In its assessment, the Company identified certain embedded features, examined whether these fall under the definition of a derivative according to ASC 815 applicable guidance or whether certain of these features affected the classification. Derivative accounting was deemed inappropriate and thus no bifurcation of these features was performed. For 2021, dividends on Series C preferred stock amounted to $69.

e)Incentive plan:On November 2, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors has approved and the Company has as of November 29, 2021, adopted the Equity Incentive Plan for 1,000,000 common shares, none of which has been granted as of December 31, 2021. Under the Equity Incentive Plan and as amended, the Company’s employees, officers and directors are entitled to receive options to acquire the Company’s common stock. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors or such other committee of the Board as may be designated by the Board. Under the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, the Company’s Board of Directors is able to grant (a) non-qualified stock options, (b) stock appreciation rights, (c) restricted stock, (d) restricted stock units, (e) unrestricted stock, (f) other equity-based or equity-related awards, (g) dividend equivalents and (h) cash awards. No options or stock appreciation rights can be exercisable subsequent to the tenth anniversary of the date on which such Award was granted. Under the Equity Incentive Plan, the Administrator may waive or modify the application of forfeiture of awards of restricted stock and performance shares in connection with cessation of service with the Company (Note 10(e)).

All common stock issued (including any restricted shares issued under the Company’s equity incentive plan, or else) are the Company’s common stock and have equal rights to vote and participate in dividends, subject to forfeiture provisions as set forth in the respective stock award agreements, as applicable. Furthermore, Class A warrants are entitled to receive dividends which are not

refundable, and therefore are considered participating securities for basic earnings per share calculation purposes. Class A warrants do not participate in losses. For the six month period ended June 30, 2022, the Company declared and paid aggregate cash dividends to its common and Class A warrants’ holders of $1,790 and $868, respectively. No dividends were declared during the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021. For the six month period ended June 30, 2022, the calculation of basic earnings/(loss) per share does not treat the non-vested shares (not considered participating securities) as outstanding until the time/service-based vesting restriction has lapsed. Incremental shares are the number of shares assumed issued under the treasury stock method weighted for the periods the non-vested shares were outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution from conversion of outstanding Series C preferred convertible stock calculated with the “if converted” method. The dilutive effect of share-based compensation arrangements (following assumed conversion of Series C preferred stock to common under the “if converted method”) and Class A warrants is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes that the “proceeds” upon exercise of these awards or warrants are used to purchase common shares at the average market price for the period. No incremental shares were calculated from the application of the treasury stock method for i) the Class A warrants and ii) the share-based compensation arrangements (following assumed conversion of Series C preferred stock to common under the “if converted method”) and the “if converted” method for the Series C convertible preferred stock as the Company incurred losses and the effect of such shares was anti-dilutive. There were no dilutive shares for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021.

Also, loss attributable to common equity holders is adjusted by the amount of dividends on Series C Preferred Stock and dividends on Class A warrants as follows:

			From April 15

Under the laws of the countries of the companies’ incorporation and / or vessels’ registration, the companies are not subject to tax on international shipping income; however, they are subject to registration and tonnage taxes, which are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

The vessel-owning companies with vessels that have called on the United States are obliged to file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service. However, pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of the United States, U.S. source income from the international operations of ships is generally exempt from U.S. tax. The applicable tax is 50% of 4% of U.S. related gross transportation income unless an exemption applies. The Company and each of its subsidiaries expects it qualifies for this statutory tax exemption for the 2021 taxable year, and the Company takes this position for United States federal income tax return reporting purposes.

Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The ability and willingness of each of the Company’s counterparties to perform their obligations under a contract depend upon a number of factors that are beyond the Company’s control and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the state of the capital markets, the condition of the shipping industry and charter hire rates. The Company’s credit risk with financial institutions is limited as it has temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, placed with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and by receiving payments of hire in advance. The Company, generally, does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2022, charterers that individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s time charter revenues were as follows:

Charterer	June 30, 2022
A	32	%
B	25	%
C	22	%

The maximum aggregate amount of loss due to credit risk that the Company would incur if the aforementioned charterers failed completely to perform according to the terms of the relevant time charter parties, amounted to $214 as of June 30, 2022.

a)Series C Preferred Stock Dividends: On January 17, 2022, the Company paid a dividend on its Series C preferred stock, amounting to $100, to DSI.

b)Underwritten Public Offering: On January 12, 2022, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-1, which was declared effective on January 21, 2022. On January 25, 2022, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 15,571,429 units at a price of $0.77 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock (or one pre-funded warrant in lieu of one share of the Company’s common stock) and one Class A warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock. In particular, upon the closing of the offering, 13,071,429 shares of common stock, 2,500,000 prefunded warrants to purchase one share of common stock, and 15,571,429 Class A warrants to purchase one share of common stock were sold. In addition, certain selling stockholders affiliated with the Company (the “Selling Stockholders”) sold an aggregate of 628,571 shares of common stock in the offering. Each share of common stock sold by a Selling Stockholder was sold with one Class A warrant to purchase one share of common stock. In addition, the underwriter for the offering fully-exercised its option to purchase an additional 1,148,577 common shares from the Selling Stockholders and 1,281,423 common shares along with 2,430,000 Class A warrants from the Company. All prefunded warrants have been exercised and 14,474,000 Class A warrants remain available for exercise at an exercise price of $0.77 per share for up to an aggregate of the same number of shares of common stock on April 5, 2022. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common shares by the Selling Stockholders.

c)Receipt of Nasdaq Notice: On March 8, 2022, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares for 30 consecutive business days, from January 21, 2022 to March 7, 2022, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the applicable grace period to regain compliance is 180 days, or until September 5, 2022. The Company can cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock is $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period. During this time, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the Nasdaq.

d)Dividend declaration: On March 18, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.05 per share for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021.

e)Amendment to Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan: On March 24, 2022, the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan was amended and restated to, among other things, permit grants of Series C Preferred Shares thereunder, in an aggregate amount of up to 10,000 shares.

f)Uncertainties caused by the Russo-Ukrainian War: The recent outbreak of war between Russia and the Ukraine has disrupted supply chains and caused instability in the global economy, while the United States and the European Union, among other countries, announced sanctions against Russia, including sanctions targeting the Russian oil sector, among those a prohibition on the import of oil from Russia to the United States. The ongoing conflict could result in the imposition of further economic sanctions against Russia and the Company’s business may be adversely impacted. Currently, the Company’s charter contracts have not been affected by the events in Russia and Ukraine. However, it is possible that in the future third parties with whom the Company has or will have charter contracts may be impacted by such events. While in general much uncertainty remains regarding the global impact of the conflict in Ukraine, it is possible that such tensions could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

Significant Accounting Policies - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Principles of Consolidation

a)Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 “Consolidation”, the Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest, by first considering if an entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary under the VIE model, or if the Company controls an entity through a majority of voting interest based on the voting interest model. The Company evaluates financial instruments, service contracts, and other arrangements to determine if any variable interests relating to an entity exist. The Company’s evaluation did not result in an identification of variable interest entities as of December 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates

b)Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss)

c)Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss): The Company has no other comprehensive income/(loss) and accordingly comprehensive income equals net income for the period presented.

Foreign Currency Translation

d)Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar because the Company’s vessels operate in international shipping markets, and therefore primarily transact business in U.S. dollars. The Company’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in other currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are reflected separately in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

e)Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers highly liquid investments such as time deposits, certificates of deposit and their equivalents with an original maturity of up to about three months to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable, Trade

f)Accounts Receivable, Trade: The amount shown as accounts receivable, trade, at each balance sheet date, includes receivables from charterers for hire from lease agreements, net of provisions for doubtful accounts, if any. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. The Company assessed its accounts receivable, trade and its credit risk relating to its charterers, following the outbreak of the COVID-19 and the effect that this could have on its accounts. No provision for doubtful accounts was established as of December 31, 2021.

Inventories

g)Inventories: Inventories consist of lubricants and victualling which are stated, on a consistent basis, at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized as a loss in earnings in the period in which it occurs. Cost is determined by the first in, first out method. Amounts removed from inventory are also determined by the first in first out method. Inventories may also consist of bunkers when on the balance sheet date a vessel is without employment, or remains idle. Bunkers, if any, are also stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and cost is determined by the first in, first out method.

Vessel Cost

h)Vessels, net: Vessels are stated at cost which consists of the contract price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition or during construction. Expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise these amounts are charged to

expense as incurred. As at balance sheet date, vessels are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation expense and impairment charge, if any.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

i)Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, potential sales and other business plans) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When the estimate of undiscounted projected net operating cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of an asset over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment loss. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, determined mainly by third party valuations.

For vessels, the Company calculates undiscounted projected net operating cash flows by considering the historical and estimated vessels’ performance and utilization with the significant assumption being future charter rates for the unfixed days, using the most recent 10 year average of historical 1 year time charter rates available for each type of vessel over the remaining estimated life of each vessel, net of commissions. Other assumptions used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flow are charter rates calculated for the fixed days using the fixed charter rate of each vessel from existing time charters, the expected outflows for scheduled vessels’ maintenance; vessel operating expenses; fleet utilization, and the vessels’ residual value if sold for scrap. This calculation is then compared with the vessels’ net book value plus unamortized dry-docking costs. The difference between the carrying amount of the vessel plus unamortized dry-docking costs and their fair value is recognized in the Company’s accounts as impairment loss. No impairment loss was identified or recorded in 2021.

Vessel Depreciation

j)Vessel Depreciation: Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated salvage (scrap) value. Each vessel’s salvage value is equal to the product of its lightweight tonnage and estimated scrap rate. Management estimates the useful life of the Company’s vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Second hand vessels are depreciated from the date of their acquisition through their remaining estimated useful life. When regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its remaining useful life is adjusted at the date such regulations are adopted.

Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs

k)Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs: The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking costs whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next dry-docking is scheduled to become due. Unamortized dry-docking costs of vessels that are sold or impaired are written off and included in the calculation of the resulting gain or loss in the year of the vessel’s sale or impairment.

Concentration of Credit Risk

l)Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

Accounting for Revenues and Expenses

m)Accounting for Revenues and Expenses: Revenues are generated from time charter agreements which contain a lease as they meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842. Agreements with the same charterer are accounted for as separate agreements according to their specific terms and conditions. All agreements contain a minimum non-cancellable period and an extension period at the option of the charterer. Each lease term is assessed at the inception of that lease. Under a time charter agreement, the charterer pays a daily hire for the use of the vessel and reimburses the owner for hold cleanings, extra insurance premiums for navigating in restricted areas and damages caused by the charterers. The charterer pays to third parties port, canal and bunkers consumed during the term of the time charter agreement. Such costs are considered direct costs and are not recorded as they are directly paid by charterers, unless they are for the account of the owner, in which case they are included in voyage expenses. The Company incurs voyage expenses such as commissions, bunkers (fuel oil and diesel oil), and port expenses relating to owners’ matters. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are purchased by the charterer and sold back to the Company on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss, result when a vessel is redelivered by a charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different bunker prices, or quantities. For the period from November 30, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred gain on bunkers amounting to

$63, resulting mainly from the difference in the value of bunkers paid by the Company when the vessel is redelivered to the Company from the charterer under the vessel’s previous time charter agreement and the value of bunkers sold by the Company when the vessel is delivered to a new charterer. This gain in included in “Voyage expenses” in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Under a time charter agreement, the owner pays for the operation and the maintenance of the vessel, including crew, insurance, spares and repairs, which are recognized in operating expenses. Revenues from time charter agreements providing for varying annual rates are accounted for as operating leases and thus recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable rental periods of such agreements, as service is performed. Deferred revenue includes cash received prior to the balance sheet date for which all criteria to recognize as revenue have not been met. The Company, as lessor, has elected not to allocate the consideration in the agreement to the separate lease and non-lease components (operation and maintenance of the vessel) as their timing and pattern of transfer to the charterer, as the lessee, are the same and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, the lease component is considered the predominant component as the Company has assessed that more value is ascribed to the vessel rather than to the services provided under the time charter contracts. The majority of the vessels are employed on short to medium-term time charter contracts, which provides flexibility in responding to market developments. The Company monitors developments in the dry bulk shipping industry on a regular basis and adjusts the charter hire periods for the vessels according to prevailing market conditions.

Repairs and Maintenance

n)Repairs and Maintenance: All repair and maintenance expenses including underwater inspection expenses are expensed in the year incurred. Such costs are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Earnings / (loss) per Common Share

o)Earnings / (loss) per Common Share: Basic earnings / (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income / (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised. For purposes of the if-converted calculation, the conversion price of preferred convertible stock is based on the end of the period market price when the conversion price is fixed or on the average market price when the number of shares that may be issued is variable.

Segmental Reporting

p)Segmental Reporting: The Company engages in the operation of dry-bulk vessels which has been identified as one reportable segment. The operation of the vessels is the main source of revenue generation, the services provided by the vessels are similar and they all operate under the same economic environment. Additionally, the vessels do not operate in specific geographic areas, as they trade worldwide; they do not trade in specific trade routes, as their trading (route and cargo) is dictated by the charterers; and the Company does not evaluate the operating results for each type of dry bulk vessel (i.e. Panamax or Capesize) for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance.

Fair Value Measurements

q)Fair Value Measurements: The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value and provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The guidance creates a fair value hierarchy of measurement and describes fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. In accordance with the requirements of accounting guidance relating to Fair Value Measurements, the Company classifies and discloses its assets and liabilities carried at the fair value in one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Share Based Payments

b) Share Based Payments: The Company issues restricted share awards which are measured at their grant date fair value and are not subsequently re-measured. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Forfeitures of awards

are accounted for when and if they occur. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

r)Share Based Payments: The Company issues restricted share awards which are measured at their grant date fair value and are not subsequently re-measured. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award — the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Forfeitures of awards are accounted for when and if they occur. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

Going concern

s)Going concern: The Company’s policy is in accordance with ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, issued in August 2014 by the FASB. ASU 2014-15 provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and on related required footnote disclosures. Management evaluates, at each reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

Financial instruments, credit losses

t)Financial Instruments, credit losses: At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its financial assets individually for credit losses and presents such assets in the net amount expected to be collected on such financial asset. When financial assets present similar risk characteristics, these are evaluated on a collective basis. When developing an estimate of expected credit losses the Company considers available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows such as internal information, past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. No credit losses were recorded in 2021.

Evaluation of Nonmonetary Transactions

u)Evaluation of Nonmonetary Transactions: When the Company enters into a nonmonetary transaction as defined broadly under ASC 845, it determines whether the transaction is a contribution of an asset or a business by assessing the definition of a business under ASC 805 and whether the transaction is pro-rata. A transaction is considered pro rata if each owner receives an ownership interest in the transferee in proportion to its existing ownership interest in the transferor (even if the transferor retains an ownership interest in the transferee). In accordance with FASB Topic 805 Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired in an acquisition transaction are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, then the set is not a business. To be considered a business, a set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create an output. All assets contributed under nonmonetary transactions that do not meet the definition of a business and include pro rata distributions, are measured at their fair values on the transaction date in accordance with ASC 845, if the fair value is objectively measurable and clearly realizable in an outright sale at or near the distribution.

New Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted

New Accounting Pronouncements — Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 applies to contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be terminated because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in this Update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. An entity may elect certain optional expedients for hedging relationships that exist as of December 31, 2022 and maintain those optional expedients through the end of the hedging relationship. ASU 2020-04 can be adopted as of March 12, 2020. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU addresses the diversity in practice in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Under the guidance, an issuer determines the accounting for the modification or exchange based on whether the transaction was done to issue equity, to issue or modify debt or for other reasons. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but entities need to apply the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period in which they choose to early adopt

the guidance. The guidance is applied prospectively to all modifications or exchanges that occur on or after the date of adoption. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05 Leases (Topic 842): Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. The ASU amends the lessor lease classification guidance in ASC 842 for leases that include any amount of variable lease payments that are not based on an index or rate. If such a lease meets the criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2 through 25-3 for classification as either a sales-type or direct financing lease, and application of the sales-type or direct financing lease recognition guidance would result in recognition of a selling loss, then the amendments require the lessor to classify the lease as an operating lease. For public business entities that have adopted ASC 842 as of July 19, 2021, the amendments in ASU 2021-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

On November 29, 2021 the registration statement was declared effective. On November 30, 2021, OP began “regular way” trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “OP”.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2022 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

The comparative unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been presented for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021. They include only the accounts of OceanPal Inc. from inception date April 15, 2021 through June 30, 2021, as the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries have been consolidated from November 30, 2021 (i.e. upon the Spin-Off consummation and the acquisition of the three ship-owning subsidiaries by the Company) when the operation of the Company’s vessels started. Operations prior to the November 30, 2021 consisted principally of organizational expenses.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of vessels. Each of the vessels is owned through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company is the sole owner of all outstanding shares of the following subsidiaries:

● Cypres Enterprises Corp., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on September 7, 2000, owner of the 2004 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Protefs (Note 3 (c)),

● Darien Compania Armadora S.A., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on December 22, 1993, owner of the 2005 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Calipso (Note 3 (c)),

● Marfort Navigation Company Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus on August 10, 2007, owner of the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Salt Lake City (Note 3 (c)), and

● Darrit Shipping Company Inc., a company incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall islands on June 02, 2022, for the purposes of acquiring the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Baltimore (Note 4 and 9(d)).

The Company operates its own fleet through Diana Wilhelmsen Management Limited (or “DWM”) (Note 3(a)) and Steamship Shipbroking Enterprises Inc. (or “Steamship”) (Note 3(b)).

Uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russo-Ukrainian conflict: The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international shipping industry into which the Company operates. As of June 30, 2022, the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus continues to unfold.

Additionally, the recent conflict between Russia and the Ukraine, since February 2022, has disrupted supply chains and caused instability in the energy markets and the global economy, which have experienced significant volatility. Several countries announced sanctions against Russia, including sanctions targeting the Russian oil sector, among those a prohibition on the import of oil and coal from Russia, and may impose wider sanctions and take other actions in the future. To date, no apparent consequences have been identified on the Company’s business, or counterparties, by COVID-19 and the conflict in Ukraine and their implications. Currently, none of the Company’s contracts have been affected by the events in Russia and Ukraine.

Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, and as volatility continues, the full extent to which the COVID-19 global pandemic and/or the Russo-Ukrainian war may have direct or indirect impact on the industry and on the Company’s business is difficult to be predicted, whereas it is possible that in the future third parties with whom the Company has or will have contracts may be impacted by such events and sanctions. The related financial reporting implications cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, although they could materially affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition in the future. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change in future periods. The overall impact on the Company’s business, and the efficacy of any measures the Company takes in response to the challenges presented by these geopolitical events, will depend on how those events will further develop, the duration and extent of the restrictive measures that are associated with such events and their impact on global economy and trade, which is still uncertain. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as its charterers’ and other counterparties’ response to the market and continuously evaluates the effect on its operations.

Financial Statements presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been presented for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021. They include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. from inception date April 15, 2021 and the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries from November 30, 2021 upon the Spin-Off consummation and acquisition of the three ship-owning subsidiaries by the Company.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international shipping industry into which the Company operates.

As of December 31, 2021, the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus continues to unfold. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change in future periods. The overall impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, and the efficacy of any measures the Company takes in response to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, will depend on how the outbreak further develops, the duration and extent of the restrictive measures that are associated with the pandemic and their impact on global economy and trade, which is still uncertain. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as its charterers’ response to the severe market disruption via cost cutting and rationalization

of their networks and fleets, and is making necessary preparations to address and mitigate, to the extent possible, the impact of COVID-19 to the Company.

1.Basis of Presentation and General Information

OceanPal Inc., (the “Company”, or “OceanPal”), was incorporated by Diana Shipping Inc. (or ”DSI” or “Parent”) on April 15, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, having a share capital of 500 shares, par value $0.01 per share, issued to Parent. The Company will serve as the holding company of the following three of the Parent’s vessel-owning subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”, or “OceanPal Inc. Predecessors”):

● Cypres Enterprises Corp., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on September 7, 2000, owner of the 2004 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Protefs,

● Darien Compania Armadora S.A., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on December 22, 1993, owner of the 2005 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Calipso and

● Marfort Navigation Company Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus on August 10, 2007, owner of the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Salt Lake City;

The Parent will contribute the Subsidiaries to OceanPal and, as the sole shareholder of the Company, intends to distribute the Company’s common shares to its shareholders on a pro rata basis.

The accompanying unaudited interim carve-out financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim combined financial statements have been prepared on the same basis and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

The combined carve-out balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited predecessor combined carve-out financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company is a global provider of shipping transportation services, specializing in the ownership of vessels. Each of the vessels is owned through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary.

In 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international dry-bulk shipping industry in which the Company operates. As of December 31, 2020, the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus resulted in low time charter rates throughout the year, decreased revenues and increased crew and dry-docking costs. As the situation continues to evolve, it is difficult to predict the long-term impact of the pandemic on the industry. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions, mainly future revenues for unfixed days, carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as its charterers’ response to the severe market disruption and is taking necessary precautions to address and mitigate, to the extent possible, the impact of COVID-19 to the Company.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, charterers that individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s time charter revenues were as follows:

Charterer	2021		2020
Cargill International S.A.			37	%
Phaethon International Co AG.			33	%
Uniper Global Commodities, Dusseldorf GE			11	%
Crystal Sea Shipping Co., Limited			20	%
C Transport Maritime LTD	37	%
Vitera Chartering	28	%
Reachy International	25	%

Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in Note 2 of the Company’s Combined Carve-out audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes to these policies in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company supplements its significant accounting policy that can be found in Note 2p of the Company’s Combined Carve-out audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 with respect to voyage expenses, as follows:

Voyage Expenses: The Company incurs voyage expenses that mainly include commissions because all of vessels are employed under time charters that require the charterer to bear voyage expenses such as bunkers (fuel oil), port and canal charges. Although the charterer bears the cost of bunkers, voyage results may be affected by differences in bunker prices, and the Company may record a gain or a loss deriving from such price differences. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are purchased by the charterer and sold back to the Company on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss, result when a vessel is redelivered by her charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different bunker prices, or quantities.

OceanPal Inc., (the “Company”, or “OceanPal”), was incorporated by Diana Shipping Inc. (or ”DSI” or “Parent”), as a wholly owned subsidiary, on April 15, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, having an authorized share capital of 500 shares, par value $0.01 per share, issued to the Parent. The Company was formed to serve as the holding company of the following three of the Parent’s vessel-owning subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”, or “OceanPal Inc. Predecessors”):

● Cypres Enterprises Corp., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on September 7, 2000, owner of the 2004 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Protefs,

● Marfort Navigation Company Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus on August 10, 2007, owner of the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Salt Lake City;

As of November 29, 2021, the Parent contributed the Subsidiaries to OceanPal and, as the sole shareholder of the Company, distributed the Company’s common shares to its shareholders on a pro rata basis upon consummation of a spin-off transaction (Note 9 (a)).

The accompanying predecessor combined carve-out financial statements are those of the Subsidiaries for the period presented using the historical carrying costs of the assets and the liabilities of the ship-owning companies above from the dates of their incorporation.

The Company is a global provider of shipping transportation services, specializing in the ownership of vessels. Each of our vessels is owned through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary.

In 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international dry-bulk shipping industry in which the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors operated. The impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus resulted in low time charter rates throughout the year, decreased revenues and increased crew and dry-docking costs. For 2021, there were signs of improvement in the dry-bulk market and overall operations, though the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 is still present. As the situation continues to evolve, it is difficult to predict the long-term impact of the pandemic on the industry. As a result, many of the estimates and assumptions, mainly future revenues for unfixed days, carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as charterers’ response to the severe market disruption and is taking necessary precautions to address and mitigate, to the extent possible, the impact of COVID-19 to the Company.

On December 24, 2019, Darien Compania Armadora S.A. entered into a Memorandum of Agreement to sell to an unaffiliated third party the vessel Calipso, for a sale price of $7,275,000 before commissions. On December 31, 2019, the vessel was measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and was classified in current assets as Vessel held for sale, according to the provisions of ASC 360, as all criteria required for this classification were then met.

The classification of Calipso as held for sale on December 31, 2019 resulted in impairment of $3,047,978 including the write off of the unamortized drydocking costs as the vessel was measured at the lower of its carrying value and fair value (sale price) less costs to sell and is separately presented in “Vessel impairment charges” in the accompanying 2019 combined carve-out statement of comprehensive income / (loss).

In February 2020, the buyers of Calipso elected to exercise their right to cancel the contract as a result of the vessel’s missing the cancelling date due to unforeseen events, unrelated to the condition of the vessel. Following this cancelation of the memorandum of agreement, on March 8, 2020, the vessel was withdrawn from the market as per management’s decision and was recorded at its fair value at that date, amounting to $7.33 million, as held and used, according to the provisions of ASC 360. The vessel’s fair value was determined through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy by taking into consideration a third party valuation which was based on the last done deals of sale of vessels with similar characteristics, such as type, size and age. The valuation of the vessel at fair value resulted in a gain of $200,500 separately presented in “Vessel fair value adjustment” in the 2020 accompanying combined carve-out statement of comprehensive income / (loss).

The Company’s vessels are subject to calls payable to their P&I Association and may be subject to supplemental calls which are based on estimates of premium income and anticipated and paid claims. Such estimates are adjusted each year by the Board of Directors of the P&I Association until the closing of the relevant policy year, which generally occurs within three years from the end of the policy year. Supplemental calls, if any, are expensed when they are announced and according to the period they relate to. The Company is not aware of any supplemental calls outstanding in respect of any policy year.

b) As at June 30, 2022, two of the Company’s vessels were fixed under time charter agreements, considered as operating leases accounted for as per ASC 842 requirements, while one vessel was not chartered.

Parent Investment

5.Parent Investment

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, parent investment amounting to $140.9 million and $144.3 million, respectively, consists of the amounts contributed by the Parent to finance part of the acquisition cost of the vessels, intercompany amounts due to or from the Parent which are forgiven and treated as contributions or distributions of capital and other general and administrative expenses allocated to the OceanPal Inc. Predecessor by Parent. Allocated general and administrative expenses include expenses of Parent such as executive’s cost, legal, treasury, regulatory compliance and other costs. These expenses were allocated on a pro rata basis, based on the number of ownership days of the Subsidiaries’ vessels compared to the number of ownership days of the total DSI fleet. Such allocations are believed to be reasonable, but may not reflect the actual costs if the OceanPal Inc. Predecessor had operated as a standalone company.

As part of Parent, OceanPal Inc. Predecessor is dependent upon Parent for all of its working capital and financing requirements, as Parent uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. Financial transactions relating to OceanPal Inc. Predecessor are accounted for through the Parent equity account and reflected in the combined carve-out statements of

Parent’s equity as an increase or decrease in Parent investment. Accordingly, none of Parent’s cash, cash equivalents or debt at the corporate level have been assigned to the OceanPal Inc.

6.Parent Investment, net

Parent investment, net consists of the amounts contributed by the Parent to finance part of the acquisition cost of the vessels, intercompany amounts due to or from the Parent which are forgiven and treated as contributions or distributions of capital and other general and administrative expenses allocated to the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors by Parent. Allocated general and administrative

expenses include expenses of Parent such as executive’s cost, legal, treasury, regulatory compliance and other costs. These expenses were allocated on a pro rata basis, based on the number of ownership days of the Subsidiaries’ vessels compared to the number of ownership days of the total DSI fleet. Such allocations are believed to be reasonable, but may not reflect the actual costs if the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors had operated as a standalone company.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures

8.Financial Instruments and Fair Value Disclosures

Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The ability and willingness of each of the Company’s counterparties to perform their obligations under a contract depend upon a number of factors that are beyond the Company’s control and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the state of the capital markets, the condition of the shipping industry and charter hire rates. The Company’s credit risk with financial institutions is limited as it has temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, placed with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and by receiving payments of hire in advance. The Company, generally, does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2022, charterers that individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s time charter revenues were as follows:

Charterer	June 30, 2022
A	32	%
B	25	%
C	22	%

The maximum aggregate amount of loss due to credit risk that the Company would incur if the aforementioned charterers failed completely to perform according to the terms of the relevant time charter parties, amounted to $214 as of June 30, 2022.

Fair value of assets and liabilities: The carrying values of financial assets reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

(d) Vessel Delivery and Issuance of Preferred Stock: On September 20, 2022, the Company took delivery of the M/V Baltimore.

b)Underwritten Public Offering: On January 12, 2022, the Company filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-1, which was declared effective on January 21, 2022. On January 25, 2022, the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 15,571,429 units at a price of $0.77 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock (or one pre-funded warrant in lieu of one share of the Company’s common stock) and one Class A warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock. In particular, upon the closing of the offering, 13,071,429 shares of common stock, 2,500,000 prefunded warrants to purchase one share of common stock, and 15,571,429 Class A warrants to purchase one share of common stock were sold. In addition, certain selling stockholders affiliated with the Company (the “Selling Stockholders”) sold an aggregate of 628,571 shares of common stock in the offering. Each share of common stock sold by a Selling Stockholder was sold with one Class A warrant to purchase one share of common stock. In addition, the underwriter for the offering fully-exercised its option to purchase an additional 1,148,577 common shares from the Selling Stockholders and 1,281,423 common shares along with 2,430,000 Class A warrants from the Company. All prefunded warrants have been exercised and 14,474,000 Class A warrants remain available for exercise at an exercise price of $0.77 per share for up to an aggregate of the same number of shares of common stock on April 5, 2022. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common shares by the Selling Stockholders.

c)Receipt of Nasdaq Notice: On March 8, 2022, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares for 30 consecutive business days, from January 21, 2022 to March 7, 2022, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the applicable grace period to regain compliance is 180 days, or until September 5, 2022. The Company can cure this deficiency if the closing bid price of its common stock is $1.00 per share or higher for at least ten consecutive business days during the grace period.

f)Uncertainties caused by the Russo-Ukrainian War: The recent outbreak of war between Russia and the Ukraine has disrupted supply chains and caused instability in the global economy, while the United States and the European Union, among other countries, announced sanctions against Russia, including sanctions targeting the Russian oil sector, among those a prohibition on the import of oil from Russia to the United States. The ongoing conflict could result in the imposition of further economic sanctions against Russia and the Company’s business may be adversely impacted. Currently, the Company’s charter contracts have not been affected by the events in Russia and Ukraine. However, it is possible that in the future third parties with whom the Company has or will have charter contracts may be impacted by such events. While in general much uncertainty remains regarding the global impact of the conflict in Ukraine, it is possible that such tensions could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. (the “Company”, or “OceanPal”, or “OP”), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). OP was incorporated by Diana Shipping Inc. (“Diana Shipping” or “DSI”) on April 15, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, having a share capital of 500 shares, par value $0.01 per share, issued to DSI (Note 3 (c)). In November 2021, the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws were amended.

On June 24, 2021, OP filed a confidential registration statement on Form 20-F with the US Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to effect a spin-off of three of DSI’s vessel owning subsidiaries together with working capital in exchange of common and preferred stock to DSI and its’ shareholders (the “Spin-Off”) (Note 3 (c)). On November 29, 2021 the registration statement was declared effective. On November 30, 2021, OP began “regular way” trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “OP”.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2022 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

The comparative unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been presented for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through June 30, 2021. They include only the accounts of OceanPal Inc. from inception date April 15, 2021 through June 30, 2021, as the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries have been consolidated from November 30, 2021 (i.e. upon the Spin-Off consummation and the acquisition of the three ship-owning subsidiaries by the Company) when the operation of the Company’s vessels started. Operations prior to the November 30, 2021 consisted principally of organizational expenses.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company is engaged in the ocean transportation of cargoes worldwide through the ownership and operation of vessels. Each of the vessels is owned through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company is the sole owner of all outstanding shares of the following subsidiaries:

● Cypres Enterprises Corp., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on September 7, 2000, owner of the 2004 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Protefs (Note 3 (c)),

● Darien Compania Armadora S.A., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on December 22, 1993, owner of the 2005 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Calipso (Note 3 (c)),

● Marfort Navigation Company Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus on August 10, 2007, owner of the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Salt Lake City (Note 3 (c)), and

● Darrit Shipping Company Inc., a company incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall islands on June 02, 2022, for the purposes of acquiring the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Baltimore (Note 4 and 9(d)).

The Company operates its own fleet through Diana Wilhelmsen Management Limited (or “DWM”) (Note 3(a)) and Steamship Shipbroking Enterprises Inc. (or “Steamship”) (Note 3(b)).

Uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russo-Ukrainian conflict: The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international shipping industry into which the Company operates. As of June 30, 2022, the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus continues to unfold.

Additionally, the recent conflict between Russia and the Ukraine, since February 2022, has disrupted supply chains and caused instability in the energy markets and the global economy, which have experienced significant volatility. Several countries announced sanctions against Russia, including sanctions targeting the Russian oil sector, among those a prohibition on the import of oil and coal from Russia, and may impose wider sanctions and take other actions in the future. To date, no apparent consequences have been identified on the Company’s business, or counterparties, by COVID-19 and the conflict in Ukraine and their implications. Currently, none of the Company’s contracts have been affected by the events in Russia and Ukraine.

Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, and as volatility continues, the full extent to which the COVID-19 global pandemic and/or the Russo-Ukrainian war may have direct or indirect impact on the industry and on the Company’s business is difficult to be predicted, whereas it is possible that in the future third parties with whom the Company has or will have contracts may be impacted by such events and sanctions. The related financial reporting implications cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, although they could materially affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition in the future. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change in future periods. The overall impact on the Company’s business, and the efficacy of any measures the Company takes in response to the challenges presented by these geopolitical events, will depend on how those events will further develop, the duration and extent of the restrictive measures that are associated with such events and their impact on global economy and trade, which is still uncertain. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as its charterers’ and other counterparties’ response to the market and continuously evaluates the effect on its operations.

Financial Statements presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been presented for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021. They include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. from inception date April 15, 2021 and the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries from November 30, 2021 upon the Spin-Off consummation and acquisition of the three ship-owning subsidiaries by the Company. No comparatives are presented, as the Spin-Off has been accounted for as a nonmonetary transfer of assets rather than a spin-off of a business.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international shipping industry into which the Company operates. Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, the full extent to which the COVID-19 global pandemic may have direct or indirect impact on the Company’s business and the related financial reporting implications cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, although it could materially affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition in the future. As of December 31, 2021, the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus continues to unfold. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve and additional information becomes available, the Company’s estimates may change in future periods. The overall impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, and the efficacy of any measures the Company takes in response to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, will depend on how the outbreak further develops, the duration and extent of the restrictive measures that are associated with the pandemic and their impact on global economy and trade, which is still uncertain. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as its charterers’ response to the severe market disruption via cost cutting and rationalization

of their networks and fleets, and is making necessary preparations to address and mitigate, to the extent possible, the impact of COVID-19 to the Company.

OceanPal Inc., (the “Company”, or “OceanPal”), was incorporated by Diana Shipping Inc. (or ”DSI” or “Parent”) on April 15, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, having a share capital of 500 shares, par value $0.01 per share, issued to Parent. The Company will serve as the holding company of the following three of the Parent’s vessel-owning subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”, or “OceanPal Inc. Predecessors”):

● Cypres Enterprises Corp., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on September 7, 2000, owner of the 2004 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Protefs,

● Darien Compania Armadora S.A., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on December 22, 1993, owner of the 2005 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Calipso and

● Marfort Navigation Company Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus on August 10, 2007, owner of the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Salt Lake City;

The Parent will contribute the Subsidiaries to OceanPal and, as the sole shareholder of the Company, intends to distribute the Company’s common shares to its shareholders on a pro rata basis.

The accompanying unaudited interim carve-out financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim combined financial statements have been prepared on the same basis and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

The combined carve-out balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited predecessor combined carve-out financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company is a global provider of shipping transportation services, specializing in the ownership of vessels. Each of the vessels is owned through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary.

In 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international dry-bulk shipping industry in which the Company operates. As of December 31, 2020, the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus resulted in low time charter rates throughout the year, decreased revenues and increased crew and dry-docking costs. As the situation continues to evolve, it is difficult to predict the long-term impact of the pandemic on the industry. As a result, many of the Company’s estimates and assumptions, mainly future revenues for unfixed days, carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as its charterers’ response to the severe market disruption and is taking necessary precautions to address and mitigate, to the extent possible, the impact of COVID-19 to the Company.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, charterers that individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s time charter revenues were as follows:

Charterer	2021		2020
Cargill International S.A.			37	%
Phaethon International Co AG.			33	%
Uniper Global Commodities, Dusseldorf GE			11	%
Crystal Sea Shipping Co., Limited			20	%
C Transport Maritime LTD	37	%
Vitera Chartering	28	%
Reachy International	25	%

Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in Note 2 of the Company’s Combined Carve-out audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes to these policies in the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company supplements its significant accounting policy that can be found in Note 2p of the Company’s Combined Carve-out audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 with respect to voyage expenses, as follows:

Voyage Expenses: The Company incurs voyage expenses that mainly include commissions because all of vessels are employed under time charters that require the charterer to bear voyage expenses such as bunkers (fuel oil), port and canal charges. Although the charterer bears the cost of bunkers, voyage results may be affected by differences in bunker prices, and the Company may record a gain or a loss deriving from such price differences. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are purchased by the charterer and sold back to the Company on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss, result when a vessel is redelivered by her charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different bunker prices, or quantities.

OceanPal Inc., (the “Company”, or “OceanPal”), was incorporated by Diana Shipping Inc. (or ”DSI” or “Parent”), as a wholly owned subsidiary, on April 15, 2021 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, having an authorized share capital of 500 shares, par value $0.01 per share, issued to the Parent. The Company was formed to serve as the holding company of the following three of the Parent’s vessel-owning subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”, or “OceanPal Inc. Predecessors”):

● Cypres Enterprises Corp., a company incorporated in the Republic of Panama on September 7, 2000, owner of the 2004 built Panamax dry bulk carrier Protefs,

● Marfort Navigation Company Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus on August 10, 2007, owner of the 2005 built Capesize dry bulk carrier Salt Lake City;

As of November 29, 2021, the Parent contributed the Subsidiaries to OceanPal and, as the sole shareholder of the Company, distributed the Company’s common shares to its shareholders on a pro rata basis upon consummation of a spin-off transaction (Note 9 (a)).

The accompanying predecessor combined carve-out financial statements are those of the Subsidiaries for the period presented using the historical carrying costs of the assets and the liabilities of the ship-owning companies above from the dates of their incorporation.

The Company is a global provider of shipping transportation services, specializing in the ownership of vessels. Each of our vessels is owned through a separate wholly-owned subsidiary.

In 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus had a negative effect on the global economy and has adversely impacted the international dry-bulk shipping industry in which the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors operated. The impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 virus resulted in low time charter rates throughout the year, decreased revenues and increased crew and dry-docking costs. For 2021, there were signs of improvement in the dry-bulk market and overall operations, though the impact of the outbreak of COVID-19 is still present. As the situation continues to evolve, it is difficult to predict the long-term impact of the pandemic on the industry. As a result, many of the estimates and assumptions, mainly future revenues for unfixed days, carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. The Company is constantly monitoring the developing situation, as well as charterers’ response to the severe market disruption and is taking necessary precautions to address and mitigate, to the extent possible, the impact of COVID-19 to the Company.

Significant Accounting Policies - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

2.Significant Accounting Policies – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the audited consolidated financial statements for the period from inception (April 15, 2021) through December 31, 2021, as filed on Form 20-F on April 6, 2022. There have been no material changes to these policies in the six month period ended June 30, 2022, except for as discussed below:

Significant accounting policies:

a) Distinguishing liabilities from equity: The Company follows the provisions of ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” to determine the classification of certain freestanding financial instruments as either liabilities or equity. The Company in its assessment for the accounting of the Class A and the prefunded warrants issued in connection with the January 2022 underwritten public offering (Note 6), has taken into consideration ASC 480 “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” and determined that the aforementioned warrants are out of the scope of ASC 480, hence should be classified as equity instead of liability. The Company further analyzed key features of the warrants to determine whether these are more akin to equity or to debt and concluded that the warrants are equity-like. In its assessment, the Company identified certain embedded features, examined whether these fall under the definition of a derivative according to ASC 815 applicable guidance or whether certain of these features affected the classification. Derivative accounting was deemed inappropriate and thus no bifurcation of these features was performed. Upon exercise of the warrants, the holder is entitled to receive common shares.

b) Share Based Payments: The Company issues restricted share awards which are measured at their grant date fair value and are not subsequently re-measured. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Forfeitures of awards

are accounted for when and if they occur. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

2.Significant Accounting Policies

a)Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include the accounts of OceanPal Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 “Consolidation”, the Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest, by first considering if an entity meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary under the VIE model, or if the Company controls an entity through a majority of voting interest based on the voting interest model. The Company evaluates financial instruments, service contracts, and other arrangements to determine if any variable interests relating to an entity exist. The Company’s evaluation did not result in an identification of variable interest entities as of December 31, 2021.

b)Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

c)Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss): The Company has no other comprehensive income/(loss) and accordingly comprehensive income equals net income for the period presented.

d)Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar because the Company’s vessels operate in international shipping markets, and therefore primarily transact business in U.S. dollars. The Company’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in other currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are reflected separately in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

e)Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers highly liquid investments such as time deposits, certificates of deposit and their equivalents with an original maturity of up to about three months to be cash equivalents.

f)Accounts Receivable, Trade: The amount shown as accounts receivable, trade, at each balance sheet date, includes receivables from charterers for hire from lease agreements, net of provisions for doubtful accounts, if any. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. The Company assessed its accounts receivable, trade and its credit risk relating to its charterers, following the outbreak of the COVID-19 and the effect that this could have on its accounts. No provision for doubtful accounts was established as of December 31, 2021.

g)Inventories: Inventories consist of lubricants and victualling which are stated, on a consistent basis, at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized as a loss in earnings in the period in which it occurs. Cost is determined by the first in, first out method. Amounts removed from inventory are also determined by the first in first out method. Inventories may also consist of bunkers when on the balance sheet date a vessel is without employment, or remains idle. Bunkers, if any, are also stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and cost is determined by the first in, first out method.

h)Vessels, net: Vessels are stated at cost which consists of the contract price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition or during construction. Expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise these amounts are charged to

expense as incurred. As at balance sheet date, vessels are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation expense and impairment charge, if any.

i)Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, potential sales and other business plans) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When the estimate of undiscounted projected net operating cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of an asset over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment loss. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, determined mainly by third party valuations.

For vessels, the Company calculates undiscounted projected net operating cash flows by considering the historical and estimated vessels’ performance and utilization with the significant assumption being future charter rates for the unfixed days, using the most recent 10 year average of historical 1 year time charter rates available for each type of vessel over the remaining estimated life of each vessel, net of commissions. Other assumptions used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flow are charter rates calculated for the fixed days using the fixed charter rate of each vessel from existing time charters, the expected outflows for scheduled vessels’ maintenance; vessel operating expenses; fleet utilization, and the vessels’ residual value if sold for scrap. This calculation is then compared with the vessels’ net book value plus unamortized dry-docking costs. The difference between the carrying amount of the vessel plus unamortized dry-docking costs and their fair value is recognized in the Company’s accounts as impairment loss. No impairment loss was identified or recorded in 2021.

j)Vessel Depreciation: Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated salvage (scrap) value. Each vessel’s salvage value is equal to the product of its lightweight tonnage and estimated scrap rate. Management estimates the useful life of the Company’s vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Second hand vessels are depreciated from the date of their acquisition through their remaining estimated useful life. When regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its remaining useful life is adjusted at the date such regulations are adopted.

k)Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs: The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking costs whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next dry-docking is scheduled to become due. Unamortized dry-docking costs of vessels that are sold or impaired are written off and included in the calculation of the resulting gain or loss in the year of the vessel’s sale or impairment.

l)Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

m)Accounting for Revenues and Expenses: Revenues are generated from time charter agreements which contain a lease as they meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842. Agreements with the same charterer are accounted for as separate agreements according to their specific terms and conditions. All agreements contain a minimum non-cancellable period and an extension period at the option of the charterer. Each lease term is assessed at the inception of that lease. Under a time charter agreement, the charterer pays a daily hire for the use of the vessel and reimburses the owner for hold cleanings, extra insurance premiums for navigating in restricted areas and damages caused by the charterers. The charterer pays to third parties port, canal and bunkers consumed during the term of the time charter agreement. Such costs are considered direct costs and are not recorded as they are directly paid by charterers, unless they are for the account of the owner, in which case they are included in voyage expenses. The Company incurs voyage expenses such as commissions, bunkers (fuel oil and diesel oil), and port expenses relating to owners’ matters. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are purchased by the charterer and sold back to the Company on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss, result when a vessel is redelivered by a charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different bunker prices, or quantities. For the period from November 30, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred gain on bunkers amounting to

$63, resulting mainly from the difference in the value of bunkers paid by the Company when the vessel is redelivered to the Company from the charterer under the vessel’s previous time charter agreement and the value of bunkers sold by the Company when the vessel is delivered to a new charterer. This gain in included in “Voyage expenses” in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Under a time charter agreement, the owner pays for the operation and the maintenance of the vessel, including crew, insurance, spares and repairs, which are recognized in operating expenses. Revenues from time charter agreements providing for varying annual rates are accounted for as operating leases and thus recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable rental periods of such agreements, as service is performed. Deferred revenue includes cash received prior to the balance sheet date for which all criteria to recognize as revenue have not been met. The Company, as lessor, has elected not to allocate the consideration in the agreement to the separate lease and non-lease components (operation and maintenance of the vessel) as their timing and pattern of transfer to the charterer, as the lessee, are the same and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, the lease component is considered the predominant component as the Company has assessed that more value is ascribed to the vessel rather than to the services provided under the time charter contracts. The majority of the vessels are employed on short to medium-term time charter contracts, which provides flexibility in responding to market developments. The Company monitors developments in the dry bulk shipping industry on a regular basis and adjusts the charter hire periods for the vessels according to prevailing market conditions.

n)Repairs and Maintenance: All repair and maintenance expenses including underwater inspection expenses are expensed in the year incurred. Such costs are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

o)Earnings / (loss) per Common Share: Basic earnings / (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net income / (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share, reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised. For purposes of the if-converted calculation, the conversion price of preferred convertible stock is based on the end of the period market price when the conversion price is fixed or on the average market price when the number of shares that may be issued is variable.

p)Segmental Reporting: The Company engages in the operation of dry-bulk vessels which has been identified as one reportable segment. The operation of the vessels is the main source of revenue generation, the services provided by the vessels are similar and they all operate under the same economic environment. Additionally, the vessels do not operate in specific geographic areas, as they trade worldwide; they do not trade in specific trade routes, as their trading (route and cargo) is dictated by the charterers; and the Company does not evaluate the operating results for each type of dry bulk vessel (i.e. Panamax or Capesize) for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance.

q)Fair Value Measurements: The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value and provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The guidance creates a fair value hierarchy of measurement and describes fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. In accordance with the requirements of accounting guidance relating to Fair Value Measurements, the Company classifies and discloses its assets and liabilities carried at the fair value in one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

r)Share Based Payments: The Company issues restricted share awards which are measured at their grant date fair value and are not subsequently re-measured. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award — the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. Forfeitures of awards are accounted for when and if they occur. If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

s)Going concern: The Company’s policy is in accordance with ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, issued in August 2014 by the FASB. ASU 2014-15 provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and on related required footnote disclosures. Management evaluates, at each reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

t)Financial Instruments, credit losses: At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its financial assets individually for credit losses and presents such assets in the net amount expected to be collected on such financial asset. When financial assets present similar risk characteristics, these are evaluated on a collective basis. When developing an estimate of expected credit losses the Company considers available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows such as internal information, past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. No credit losses were recorded in 2021.

u)Evaluation of Nonmonetary Transactions: When the Company enters into a nonmonetary transaction as defined broadly under ASC 845, it determines whether the transaction is a contribution of an asset or a business by assessing the definition of a business under ASC 805 and whether the transaction is pro-rata. A transaction is considered pro rata if each owner receives an ownership interest in the transferee in proportion to its existing ownership interest in the transferor (even if the transferor retains an ownership interest in the transferee). In accordance with FASB Topic 805 Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired in an acquisition transaction are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, then the set is not a business. To be considered a business, a set must include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contributes to the ability to create an output. All assets contributed under nonmonetary transactions that do not meet the definition of a business and include pro rata distributions, are measured at their fair values on the transaction date in accordance with ASC 845, if the fair value is objectively measurable and clearly realizable in an outright sale at or near the distribution.

New Accounting Pronouncements — Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 applies to contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be terminated because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in this Update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. An entity may elect certain optional expedients for hedging relationships that exist as of December 31, 2022 and maintain those optional expedients through the end of the hedging relationship. ASU 2020-04 can be adopted as of March 12, 2020. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU addresses the diversity in practice in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Under the guidance, an issuer determines the accounting for the modification or exchange based on whether the transaction was done to issue equity, to issue or modify debt or for other reasons. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but entities need to apply the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period in which they choose to early adopt

the guidance. The guidance is applied prospectively to all modifications or exchanges that occur on or after the date of adoption. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05 Leases (Topic 842): Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. The ASU amends the lessor lease classification guidance in ASC 842 for leases that include any amount of variable lease payments that are not based on an index or rate. If such a lease meets the criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2 through 25-3 for classification as either a sales-type or direct financing lease, and application of the sales-type or direct financing lease recognition guidance would result in recognition of a selling loss, then the amendments require the lessor to classify the lease as an operating lease. For public business entities that have adopted ASC 842 as of July 19, 2021, the amendments in ASU 2021-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors

Significant Accounting Policies - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

2.Significant Policies

a)Basis of presentation: The accompanying combined carve-out financial statements include the accounts of the legal entities comprising OceanPal Inc. Predecessors as discussed in Note 1. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have historically operated as part of the Parent and not as a standalone company. Financial statements representing the historical operations of Parent’s business have been derived from Parent’s historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis. All revenues, costs, assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of OceanPal Inc. Predecessors are included in the combined carve-out financial statements. The combined financial statements are prepared in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and reflect the financial position, results of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) and cash flows associated with the business activity of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors as they were historically managed.

The combined carve-out statements of operations also reflect intercompany expense allocations made to OceanPal Inc. Predecessors by DSI of certain general and administrative expenses from Parent (Note 6). However, amounts recognized by OceanPal Inc. Predecessors are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial

statements had the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors operated independently of Parent as the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors would have had additional administrative expenses, including legal, professional, treasury and regulatory compliance and other costs normally incurred by a listed public entity. Management has estimated these additional administrative expenses to be $1,104,894, $1,265,051 and $809,205, respectively, for the period from January 1, 2021, to November 29, 2021, and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Both the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors and DSI consider the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by the Predecessors during the periods presented. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have incurred as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented.

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have no common capital structure for the combined business and, accordingly, has not presented historical earnings per share.

b)Use of Estimates: The preparation of combined carve-out financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined carve-out financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

c)Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss): OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have no other comprehensive income / (loss) and accordingly comprehensive income / (loss) equals net income / (loss) for all periods presented.

d)Foreign Currency: The functional currency of OceanPal Inc. Predecessors is the U.S. dollar because the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors vessels operate in international shipping markets, and therefore primarily transact business in U.S. dollars. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in other currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are included in “Other income/(loss)” in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss).

e)Cash and Cash Equivalents: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors consider time deposits, certificates of deposit and their equivalents with an original maturity of up to about three months to be cash equivalents.

f)Accounts Receivable, Trade: The amount shown as accounts receivable, trade, at each balance sheet date, includes receivables from charterers for hire from lease agreements, net of allowance for credit loss, if any. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. Operating lease receivables under ASC 842 are not in scope of ASC 326 for assessment of credit loss, however OceanPal Inc. Predecessors assess their accounts receivable, trade and their credit risk relating to their charterers. No provision for doubtful accounts receivable has been recorded in the accompanying statements of comprehensive income/(loss) during the period from January 1, 2021 through November 29, 2021, and the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

g)Inventories: Inventories consist of lubricants which are stated, on a consistent basis, at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first in, first out method. Amounts removed from inventory are also determined by the first in first out method. Inventories may also consist of bunkers when on the balance sheet date a vessel is without employment. Bunkers, if any, are also stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and cost is determined by the first in, first out method.

h)Insurance claims. Claims receivable are recorded on accrual basis, net of deductibles, through each balance sheet date, for which recovery from insurance companies is probable and the claim is not subject to litigation.

i)Vessel, net: Vessels are stated at cost which consists of the contract price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition or during construction. Expenditures for conversions and improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise these amounts are charged to

expense as incurred. As at balance sheet date, vessels are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation expense and impairment charge, if any.

j)Vessels held for sale: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors classify assets as being held for sale when the respective criteria are met. Long-lived assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These assets are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be held for sale. The fair value less cost to sell of an asset held for sale is assessed at each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale. When the plan to sell an asset changes, the asset is reclassified as held and used, measured at the lower of its carrying amount before it was recorded as held for sale, adjusted for depreciation, and the asset’s fair value at the date of the decision not to sell.

k)Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, potential sales and other business plans) indicate that the carrying amount plus unamortized dry-docking costs of an asset may not be recoverable. When the estimate of undiscounted projected net operating cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of an asset over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount plus unamortized dry-docking costs, OceanPal Inc. Predecessors evaluate the asset for impairment loss. Measurement of impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, determined mainly by third party valuations.

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors undiscounted projected net operating cash flows by considering the historical and estimated vessels’ performance and utilization with the significant assumption being future charter rates for the unfixed days, using the most recent 10 year average of historical 1 year time charter rates available for each type of vessel over the remaining estimated life of each vessel, net of commissions. In 2019, the 1 year time charter rates did not include the rate for 2010, as it had been previously considered by Parent well above the average. Other than that, historical ten-year blended average one-year time charter rates are in line with the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ overall chartering strategy, they reflect the full operating history of vessels of the same type and particulars with the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ operating fleet and they cover at least a full business cycle, where applicable. Other assumptions used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flow are charter rates calculated for the fixed days using the fixed charter rate of each vessel from existing time charters, the expected outflows for scheduled vessels’ maintenance; vessel operating expenses; fleet utilization, and the vessels’ residual value if sold for scrap. Assumptions are in line with the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ historical performance and expectations for future fleet utilization under their current fleet deployment strategy. This calculation is then compared with the vessels’ net book value plus unamortized dry-docking costs. The difference between the carrying amount of the vessel plus unamortized dry-docking costs and its fair value is recognized in the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ accounts as impairment loss. No impairment loss was identified or recorded in 2019, in 2020 and in the period from January 1, 2021, to November 29, 2021 due to this exercise. However, an impairment charge amounting to $3,047,978 recorded in 2019 for vessel Calipso, which was classified as held for sale (Note 4).

l)Vessel Depreciation: Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated salvage (scrap) value. Each vessel’s salvage value is equal to the product of its lightweight tonnage and estimated scrap rate. Management estimates the useful life of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Second hand vessels are depreciated from the date of their acquisition through their remaining estimated useful life. When regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its remaining useful life is adjusted at the date such regulations are adopted.

m)Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors follow the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking costs whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next dry-docking is scheduled to become due. Unamortized dry-docking costs of vessels that are sold or impaired are written off and included in the calculation of the resulting gain or loss in the year of the vessel’s sale or impairment (Note 4).

n)Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject OceanPal Inc. Predecessors to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors place temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ investment strategy.

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors limit their credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral for accounts receivable and do not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

o)Accounting for Revenues and Expenses: Revenues are generated from time charter agreements which contain a lease as they meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842. Agreements with the same charterer are accounted for as separate agreements according to their specific terms and conditions. All agreements contain a minimum non-cancellable period and an extension period at the option of the charterer. Each lease term is assessed at the inception of that lease. Under a time charter agreement, the charterer pays a daily hire for the use of the vessel and reimburses the owner for hold cleanings, extra insurance premiums for navigating in restricted areas and damages caused by the charterers. Additionally, the charterer pays to third parties port, canal and bunkers consumed during the term of the time charter agreement. Such costs are considered direct costs and are not recorded as they are directly paid by charterers, unless they are for the account of the owner, in which case they are included in voyage expenses. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors incur voyage expenses that mainly include commissions because all of vessels are employed under time charters that require the charterer to bear voyage expenses such as bunkers (fuel oil), port and canal charges. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are purchased by the charterer and sold back to OceanPal Inc. Predecessors on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss, result when a vessel is redelivered by her charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different bunker prices, or quantities. For the period From January 1, 2021, to November 29, 2021, and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors incurred gain on bunkers amounting to $330,454, and loss on bunkers amounting to $287,352 and $229,481, respectively, resulting mainly from the difference in the value of bunkers paid by OceanPal Inc. Predecessors when the vessel is redelivered to OceanPal Inc. Predecessors from the charterer under the vessel’s previous time charter agreement and the value of bunkers sold by OceanPal Inc. Predecessors when the vessel is delivered to a new charterer. This gain/loss is included in “Voyage expenses” in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of comprehensive income / (loss). Additionally, the owner pays commissions on the hire revenue, to both the charterer and to brokers, which are direct costs and are recorded in voyage expenses. Under a time charter agreement, the owner pays for the operation and the maintenance of the vessel, including crew, insurance, spares and repairs, which are recognized in operating expenses. Revenues from time charter agreements providing for varying annual rates are accounted for as operating leases and thus recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable rental periods of such agreements, as service is performed. Deferred revenue includes cash received prior to the balance sheet date for which all criteria to recognize as revenue have not been met. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors, as lessors, have elected not to allocate the consideration in the agreement to the separate lease and non-lease components (operation and maintenance of the vessel) as their timing and pattern of transfer to the charterer, as the lessee, are the same and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, the lease component is considered the predominant component as OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have assessed that more value is ascribed to the vessel rather than to the services provided under the time charter contracts.

p)Repairs and Maintenance: All repair and maintenance expenses including underwater inspection expenses are expensed in the year incurred. Such costs are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss).

q)Segmental Reporting: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors engage in the operation of dry-bulk vessels which has been identified as one reportable segment. The operation of the vessels is the main source of revenue generation, the services provided by the vessels are similar and they all operate under the same economic environment. Additionally, the vessels do not operate in specific geographic areas, as they trade worldwide; they do not trade in specific trade routes, as their trading (route and cargo) is dictated by the charterers; and OceanPal Inc. Predecessors do not evaluate the operating results for each type of dry bulk vessels (Panamax or Capesize) for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance.

r)Fair Value Measurements: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors classify and discloses their assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

s)Going concern: Management evaluates, at each reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the combined carve-out financial statements are issued.

t)Financial Instruments, credit losses: At each reporting date, OceanPal Inc. Predecessors evaluate financial assets for credit losses and presents such assets in the net amount expected to be collected on such financial asset. When financial assets present similar risk characteristics, these are evaluated on a collective basis. When developing an estimate of expected credit losses OceanPal Inc. Predecessors consider available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows such as internal information, past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. No allowance for credit loss has been recorded in the accompanying statements of comprehensive income/(loss) during the period from January 1, 2021 through November 29, 2021, and the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Not yet adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 applies to contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be terminated because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in this Update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. An entity may elect certain optional expedients for hedging relationships that exist as of December 31, 2022 and maintain those optional expedients through the end of the hedging relationship. ASU 2020-04 can be adopted as of March 12, 2020. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the combined carve-out financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05 Leases (Topic 842): Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. The ASU amends the lessor lease classification guidance in ASC 842 for leases that include any amount of variable lease payments that are not based on an index or rate. If such a lease meets the criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2 through 25-3 for classification as either a sales-type or direct financing lease, and application of the sales-type or direct financing lease recognition guidance would result in recognition of a selling loss, then the amendments require the lessor to classify the lease as an operating lease. For public business entities that have adopted ASC 842 as of July 19, 2021, the amendments in ASU 2021-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU has been assessed and it is expected that it does not have a material impact on the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ combined carve-out financial statements and related disclosures.

c) Diana Shipping Inc., or DSI: On November 29, 2021, the Company completed its Spin-Off from DSI. In connection with the Spin-Off, DSI contributed to the Company the three vessel-owning subsidiaries discussed in Note 1 above, together with $1,000 in working capital, whereas as of the same date, shareholders of DSI received one of the Company’s common shares for every ten shares of DSI’s common stock owned at the close of business on November 3, 2021 (i.e., 8,820,240 shares). DSI also received 500,000 of the Company’s Series B Preferred stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and 10,000 of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). DSI did not distribute the Series B

On December 24, 2019, Darien Compania Armadora S.A. entered into a Memorandum of Agreement to sell to an unaffiliated third party the vessel Calipso, for a sale price of $7,275,000 before commissions. On December 31, 2019, the vessel was measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell and was classified in current assets as Vessel held for sale, according to the provisions of ASC 360, as all criteria required for this classification were then met.

The classification of Calipso as held for sale on December 31, 2019 resulted in impairment of $3,047,978 including the write off of the unamortized drydocking costs as the vessel was measured at the lower of its carrying value and fair value (sale price) less costs to sell and is separately presented in “Vessel impairment charges” in the accompanying 2019 combined carve-out statement of comprehensive income / (loss).

In February 2020, the buyers of Calipso elected to exercise their right to cancel the contract as a result of the vessel’s missing the cancelling date due to unforeseen events, unrelated to the condition of the vessel. Following this cancelation of the memorandum of agreement, on March 8, 2020, the vessel was withdrawn from the market as per management’s decision and was recorded at its fair value at that date, amounting to $7.33 million, as held and used, according to the provisions of ASC 360. The vessel’s fair value was determined through Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy by taking into consideration a third party valuation which was based on the last done deals of sale of vessels with similar characteristics, such as type, size and age. The valuation of the vessel at fair value resulted in a gain of $200,500 separately presented in “Vessel fair value adjustment” in the 2020 accompanying combined carve-out statement of comprehensive income / (loss).

Subsidiaries’ vessels are covered for pollution in the amount of $1 billion per vessel per incident, by the P&I Association in which the Subsidiaries’ vessels are entered.

b)On July 9, 2020, DWM placed a security bond in the amount of $1.75 million for any potential fines or penalties for alleged violations of law concerning maintenance of books and records and the handling of oil wastes of the vessel Protefs, as a consequence of a environmental incident involving the vessel in 2020. As this amount was paid by the ship owning company of Protefs, a portion of the security bond relating to DWM, amounting to $1 million, was included in “Due from related parties”, as of December 31, 2020 in the accompanying combined carve-out balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, vessel Protefs also recorded an accrual of about $1.0 million, as the Parent determined that Protefs could be liable for part of a fine related to this incident, as part of its management agreement with DWM and recognized an expense which is presented in “Vessel operating expenses” in the combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) for the year ended December 31, 2020, representing the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ best estimate for the liability of Protefs in relation to this incident. In February 2021, DWM entered into a plea agreement with the United States pursuant to which DWM, as defendant, agreed to waive indictment, plead guilty pursuant to the terms thereof, accepted a fine of $2.0 million and the placement of DWM on probation for four years, subject to court approval. On September 23, 2021, in the sentencing hearing of the Protefs case, the judge accepted DWM’s guilty pleas, adjudged DWM guilty and imposed the agreed upon sentence of a combined fine of $2 million, a total special assessment and a four-year term of probation. The total amount of the fine was settled during 2021 through the security bond placed by DWM on July 9, 2020, whereas the remaining balance of the fine amounting to $0.25 million was settled by the ship owning company of Protefs.

c)As at November 29, 2021, all of the vessels were fixed under time charter agreements, considered as operating leases accounted for as per ASC 842 requirements. The minimum contractual gross charter revenues expected to be generated from fixed and non-cancelable time charter contracts existing as at November 29, 2021 and until their expiration is estimated at $3.1 million.

5.Parent Investment

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, parent investment amounting to $140.9 million and $144.3 million, respectively, consists of the amounts contributed by the Parent to finance part of the acquisition cost of the vessels, intercompany amounts due to or from the Parent which are forgiven and treated as contributions or distributions of capital and other general and administrative expenses allocated to the OceanPal Inc. Predecessor by Parent. Allocated general and administrative expenses include expenses of Parent such as executive’s cost, legal, treasury, regulatory compliance and other costs. These expenses were allocated on a pro rata basis, based on the number of ownership days of the Subsidiaries’ vessels compared to the number of ownership days of the total DSI fleet. Such allocations are believed to be reasonable, but may not reflect the actual costs if the OceanPal Inc. Predecessor had operated as a standalone company.

As part of Parent, OceanPal Inc. Predecessor is dependent upon Parent for all of its working capital and financing requirements, as Parent uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations. Financial transactions relating to OceanPal Inc. Predecessor are accounted for through the Parent equity account and reflected in the combined carve-out statements of

Parent’s equity as an increase or decrease in Parent investment. Accordingly, none of Parent’s cash, cash equivalents or debt at the corporate level have been assigned to the OceanPal Inc.

Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The ability and willingness of each of the Company’s counterparties to perform their obligations under a contract depend upon a number of factors that are beyond the Company’s control and may include, among other things, general economic conditions, the state of the capital markets, the condition of the shipping industry and charter hire rates. The Company’s credit risk with financial institutions is limited as it has temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, placed with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and by receiving payments of hire in advance. The Company, generally, does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2022, charterers that individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s time charter revenues were as follows:

The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common shares by the Selling Stockholders.

c)Receipt of Nasdaq Notice: On March 8, 2022, the Company received a written notification from Nasdaq indicating that because the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares for 30 consecutive business days, from January 21, 2022 to March 7, 2022, was below the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

f)Uncertainties caused by the Russo-Ukrainian War: The recent outbreak of war between Russia and the Ukraine has disrupted supply chains and caused instability in the global economy, while the United States and the European Union, among other countries, announced sanctions against Russia, including sanctions targeting the Russian oil sector, among those a prohibition on the import of oil from Russia to the United States. The ongoing conflict could result in the imposition of further economic sanctions against Russia and the Company’s business may be adversely impacted. Currently, the Company’s charter contracts have not been affected by the events in Russia and Ukraine. However, it is possible that in the future third parties with whom the Company has or will have charter contracts may be impacted by such events. While in general much uncertainty remains regarding the global impact of the conflict in Ukraine, it is possible that such tensions could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.

Use of Estimates

b)Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss)

c)Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss): The Company has no other comprehensive income/(loss) and accordingly comprehensive income equals net income for the period presented.

Foreign Currency Translation

d)Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar because the Company’s vessels operate in international shipping markets, and therefore primarily transact business in U.S. dollars. The Company’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in other currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are reflected separately in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

e)Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers highly liquid investments such as time deposits, certificates of deposit and their equivalents with an original maturity of up to about three months to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable, Trade

f)Accounts Receivable, Trade: The amount shown as accounts receivable, trade, at each balance sheet date, includes receivables from charterers for hire from lease agreements, net of provisions for doubtful accounts, if any. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. The Company assessed its accounts receivable, trade and its credit risk relating to its charterers, following the outbreak of the COVID-19 and the effect that this could have on its accounts. No provision for doubtful accounts was established as of December 31, 2021.

Inventories

g)Inventories: Inventories consist of lubricants and victualling which are stated, on a consistent basis, at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the difference is recognized as a loss in earnings in the period in which it occurs. Cost is determined by the first in, first out method. Amounts removed from inventory are also determined by the first in first out method. Inventories may also consist of bunkers when on the balance sheet date a vessel is without employment, or remains idle. Bunkers, if any, are also stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and cost is determined by the first in, first out method.

Vessel Cost

h)Vessels, net: Vessels are stated at cost which consists of the contract price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition or during construction. Expenditures for conversions and major improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise these amounts are charged to

expense as incurred. As at balance sheet date, vessels are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation expense and impairment charge, if any.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

i)Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, potential sales and other business plans) indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When the estimate of undiscounted projected net operating cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of an asset over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, the Company evaluates the asset for impairment loss. Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, determined mainly by third party valuations.

For vessels, the Company calculates undiscounted projected net operating cash flows by considering the historical and estimated vessels’ performance and utilization with the significant assumption being future charter rates for the unfixed days, using the most recent 10 year average of historical 1 year time charter rates available for each type of vessel over the remaining estimated life of each vessel, net of commissions. Other assumptions used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flow are charter rates calculated for the fixed days using the fixed charter rate of each vessel from existing time charters, the expected outflows for scheduled vessels’ maintenance; vessel operating expenses; fleet utilization, and the vessels’ residual value if sold for scrap. This calculation is then compared with the vessels’ net book value plus unamortized dry-docking costs. The difference between the carrying amount of the vessel plus unamortized dry-docking costs and their fair value is recognized in the Company’s accounts as impairment loss. No impairment loss was identified or recorded in 2021.

Vessel Depreciation

j)Vessel Depreciation: Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated salvage (scrap) value. Each vessel’s salvage value is equal to the product of its lightweight tonnage and estimated scrap rate. Management estimates the useful life of the Company’s vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Second hand vessels are depreciated from the date of their acquisition through their remaining estimated useful life. When regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its remaining useful life is adjusted at the date such regulations are adopted.

Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs

k)Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs: The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking costs whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next dry-docking is scheduled to become due. Unamortized dry-docking costs of vessels that are sold or impaired are written off and included in the calculation of the resulting gain or loss in the year of the vessel’s sale or impairment.

Concentration of Credit Risk

l)Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. The Company limits its credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable and does not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

Accounting for Revenues and Expenses

m)Accounting for Revenues and Expenses: Revenues are generated from time charter agreements which contain a lease as they meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842. Agreements with the same charterer are accounted for as separate agreements according to their specific terms and conditions. All agreements contain a minimum non-cancellable period and an extension period at the option of the charterer. Each lease term is assessed at the inception of that lease. Under a time charter agreement, the charterer pays a daily hire for the use of the vessel and reimburses the owner for hold cleanings, extra insurance premiums for navigating in restricted areas and damages caused by the charterers. The charterer pays to third parties port, canal and bunkers consumed during the term of the time charter agreement. Such costs are considered direct costs and are not recorded as they are directly paid by charterers, unless they are for the account of the owner, in which case they are included in voyage expenses. The Company incurs voyage expenses such as commissions, bunkers (fuel oil and diesel oil), and port expenses relating to owners’ matters. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are purchased by the charterer and sold back to the Company on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss, result when a vessel is redelivered by a charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different bunker prices, or quantities. For the period from November 30, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the Company incurred gain on bunkers amounting to

$63, resulting mainly from the difference in the value of bunkers paid by the Company when the vessel is redelivered to the Company from the charterer under the vessel’s previous time charter agreement and the value of bunkers sold by the Company when the vessel is delivered to a new charterer. This gain in included in “Voyage expenses” in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Under a time charter agreement, the owner pays for the operation and the maintenance of the vessel, including crew, insurance, spares and repairs, which are recognized in operating expenses. Revenues from time charter agreements providing for varying annual rates are accounted for as operating leases and thus recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable rental periods of such agreements, as service is performed. Deferred revenue includes cash received prior to the balance sheet date for which all criteria to recognize as revenue have not been met. The Company, as lessor, has elected not to allocate the consideration in the agreement to the separate lease and non-lease components (operation and maintenance of the vessel) as their timing and pattern of transfer to the charterer, as the lessee, are the same and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, the lease component is considered the predominant component as the Company has assessed that more value is ascribed to the vessel rather than to the services provided under the time charter contracts. The majority of the vessels are employed on short to medium-term time charter contracts, which provides flexibility in responding to market developments. The Company monitors developments in the dry bulk shipping industry on a regular basis and adjusts the charter hire periods for the vessels according to prevailing market conditions.

Repairs and Maintenance

n)Repairs and Maintenance: All repair and maintenance expenses including underwater inspection expenses are expensed in the year incurred. Such costs are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Segmental Reporting

p)Segmental Reporting: The Company engages in the operation of dry-bulk vessels which has been identified as one reportable segment. The operation of the vessels is the main source of revenue generation, the services provided by the vessels are similar and they all operate under the same economic environment. Additionally, the vessels do not operate in specific geographic areas, as they trade worldwide; they do not trade in specific trade routes, as their trading (route and cargo) is dictated by the charterers; and the Company does not evaluate the operating results for each type of dry bulk vessel (i.e. Panamax or Capesize) for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance.

Fair Value Measurements

q)Fair Value Measurements: The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value and provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The guidance creates a fair value hierarchy of measurement and describes fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. In accordance with the requirements of accounting guidance relating to Fair Value Measurements, the Company classifies and discloses its assets and liabilities carried at the fair value in one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Going concern

s)Going concern: The Company’s policy is in accordance with ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern”, issued in August 2014 by the FASB. ASU 2014-15 provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and on related required footnote disclosures. Management evaluates, at each reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued.

Financial instruments, credit losses

t)Financial Instruments, credit losses: At each reporting date, the Company evaluates its financial assets individually for credit losses and presents such assets in the net amount expected to be collected on such financial asset. When financial assets present similar risk characteristics, these are evaluated on a collective basis. When developing an estimate of expected credit losses the Company considers available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows such as internal information, past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. No credit losses were recorded in 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements -Not yet adopted

New Accounting Pronouncements — Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 applies to contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be terminated because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in this Update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. An entity may elect certain optional expedients for hedging relationships that exist as of December 31, 2022 and maintain those optional expedients through the end of the hedging relationship. ASU 2020-04 can be adopted as of March 12, 2020. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU addresses the diversity in practice in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Under the guidance, an issuer determines the accounting for the modification or exchange based on whether the transaction was done to issue equity, to issue or modify debt or for other reasons. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but entities need to apply the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period in which they choose to early adopt

the guidance. The guidance is applied prospectively to all modifications or exchanges that occur on or after the date of adoption. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05 Leases (Topic 842): Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. The ASU amends the lessor lease classification guidance in ASC 842 for leases that include any amount of variable lease payments that are not based on an index or rate. If such a lease meets the criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2 through 25-3 for classification as either a sales-type or direct financing lease, and application of the sales-type or direct financing lease recognition guidance would result in recognition of a selling loss, then the amendments require the lessor to classify the lease as an operating lease. For public business entities that have adopted ASC 842 as of July 19, 2021, the amendments in ASU 2021-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors

Basis of presentation

a)Basis of presentation: The accompanying combined carve-out financial statements include the accounts of the legal entities comprising OceanPal Inc. Predecessors as discussed in Note 1. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have historically operated as part of the Parent and not as a standalone company. Financial statements representing the historical operations of Parent’s business have been derived from Parent’s historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis. All revenues, costs, assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of OceanPal Inc. Predecessors are included in the combined carve-out financial statements. The combined financial statements are prepared in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and reflect the financial position, results of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) and cash flows associated with the business activity of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors as they were historically managed.

The combined carve-out statements of operations also reflect intercompany expense allocations made to OceanPal Inc. Predecessors by DSI of certain general and administrative expenses from Parent (Note 6). However, amounts recognized by OceanPal Inc. Predecessors are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial

statements had the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors operated independently of Parent as the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors would have had additional administrative expenses, including legal, professional, treasury and regulatory compliance and other costs normally incurred by a listed public entity. Management has estimated these additional administrative expenses to be $1,104,894, $1,265,051 and $809,205, respectively, for the period from January 1, 2021, to November 29, 2021, and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Both the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors and DSI consider the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by the Predecessors during the periods presented. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have incurred as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented.

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have no common capital structure for the combined business and, accordingly, has not presented historical earnings per share.

Use of Estimates

b)Use of Estimates: The preparation of combined carve-out financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined carve-out financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss)

c)Other Comprehensive Income / (Loss): OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have no other comprehensive income / (loss) and accordingly comprehensive income / (loss) equals net income / (loss) for all periods presented.

Foreign Currency Translation

d)Foreign Currency: The functional currency of OceanPal Inc. Predecessors is the U.S. dollar because the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors vessels operate in international shipping markets, and therefore primarily transact business in U.S. dollars. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet dates, monetary assets and liabilities which are denominated in other currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates. Resulting gains or losses are included in “Other income/(loss)” in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

e)Cash and Cash Equivalents: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors consider time deposits, certificates of deposit and their equivalents with an original maturity of up to about three months to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable, Trade

f)Accounts Receivable, Trade: The amount shown as accounts receivable, trade, at each balance sheet date, includes receivables from charterers for hire from lease agreements, net of allowance for credit loss, if any. At each balance sheet date, all potentially uncollectible accounts are assessed individually for purposes of determining the appropriate provision for doubtful accounts. Operating lease receivables under ASC 842 are not in scope of ASC 326 for assessment of credit loss, however OceanPal Inc. Predecessors assess their accounts receivable, trade and their credit risk relating to their charterers. No provision for doubtful accounts receivable has been recorded in the accompanying statements of comprehensive income/(loss) during the period from January 1, 2021 through November 29, 2021, and the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Inventories

g)Inventories: Inventories consist of lubricants which are stated, on a consistent basis, at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first in, first out method. Amounts removed from inventory are also determined by the first in first out method. Inventories may also consist of bunkers when on the balance sheet date a vessel is without employment. Bunkers, if any, are also stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and cost is determined by the first in, first out method.

Insurance claims

h)Insurance claims. Claims receivable are recorded on accrual basis, net of deductibles, through each balance sheet date, for which recovery from insurance companies is probable and the claim is not subject to litigation.

Vessel Cost

i)Vessel, net: Vessels are stated at cost which consists of the contract price and any material expenses incurred upon acquisition or during construction. Expenditures for conversions and improvements are also capitalized when they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels; otherwise these amounts are charged to

expense as incurred. As at balance sheet date, vessels are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation expense and impairment charge, if any.

Vessels held for sale

j)Vessels held for sale: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors classify assets as being held for sale when the respective criteria are met. Long-lived assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. These assets are not depreciated once they meet the criteria to be held for sale. The fair value less cost to sell of an asset held for sale is assessed at each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale. When the plan to sell an asset changes, the asset is reclassified as held and used, measured at the lower of its carrying amount before it was recorded as held for sale, adjusted for depreciation, and the asset’s fair value at the date of the decision not to sell.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

k)Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as market conditions, obsolesce or damage to the asset, potential sales and other business plans) indicate that the carrying amount plus unamortized dry-docking costs of an asset may not be recoverable. When the estimate of undiscounted projected net operating cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to be generated by the use of an asset over its remaining useful life and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount plus unamortized dry-docking costs, OceanPal Inc. Predecessors evaluate the asset for impairment loss. Measurement of impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, determined mainly by third party valuations.

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors undiscounted projected net operating cash flows by considering the historical and estimated vessels’ performance and utilization with the significant assumption being future charter rates for the unfixed days, using the most recent 10 year average of historical 1 year time charter rates available for each type of vessel over the remaining estimated life of each vessel, net of commissions. In 2019, the 1 year time charter rates did not include the rate for 2010, as it had been previously considered by Parent well above the average. Other than that, historical ten-year blended average one-year time charter rates are in line with the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ overall chartering strategy, they reflect the full operating history of vessels of the same type and particulars with the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ operating fleet and they cover at least a full business cycle, where applicable. Other assumptions used in developing estimates of future undiscounted cash flow are charter rates calculated for the fixed days using the fixed charter rate of each vessel from existing time charters, the expected outflows for scheduled vessels’ maintenance; vessel operating expenses; fleet utilization, and the vessels’ residual value if sold for scrap. Assumptions are in line with the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ historical performance and expectations for future fleet utilization under their current fleet deployment strategy. This calculation is then compared with the vessels’ net book value plus unamortized dry-docking costs. The difference between the carrying amount of the vessel plus unamortized dry-docking costs and its fair value is recognized in the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ accounts as impairment loss. No impairment loss was identified or recorded in 2019, in 2020 and in the period from January 1, 2021, to November 29, 2021 due to this exercise. However, an impairment charge amounting to $3,047,978 recorded in 2019 for vessel Calipso, which was classified as held for sale (Note 4).

Vessel Depreciation

l)Vessel Depreciation: Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated salvage (scrap) value. Each vessel’s salvage value is equal to the product of its lightweight tonnage and estimated scrap rate. Management estimates the useful life of the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ vessels to be 25 years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard. Second hand vessels are depreciated from the date of their acquisition through their remaining estimated useful life. When regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its remaining useful life is adjusted at the date such regulations are adopted.

Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs

m)Accounting for Dry-Docking Costs: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors follow the deferral method of accounting for dry-docking costs whereby actual costs incurred are deferred and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period through the date the next dry-docking is scheduled to become due. Unamortized dry-docking costs of vessels that are sold or impaired are written off and included in the calculation of the resulting gain or loss in the year of the vessel’s sale or impairment (Note 4).

Concentration of Credit Risk

n)Concentration of Credit Risk: Financial instruments, which potentially subject OceanPal Inc. Predecessors to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors place temporary cash investments, consisting mostly of deposits, with various qualified financial institutions and performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ investment strategy.

OceanPal Inc. Predecessors limit their credit risk with accounts receivable by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral for accounts receivable and do not have any agreements to mitigate credit risk.

Accounting for Revenues and Expenses

o)Accounting for Revenues and Expenses: Revenues are generated from time charter agreements which contain a lease as they meet the criteria of a lease under ASC 842. Agreements with the same charterer are accounted for as separate agreements according to their specific terms and conditions. All agreements contain a minimum non-cancellable period and an extension period at the option of the charterer. Each lease term is assessed at the inception of that lease. Under a time charter agreement, the charterer pays a daily hire for the use of the vessel and reimburses the owner for hold cleanings, extra insurance premiums for navigating in restricted areas and damages caused by the charterers. Additionally, the charterer pays to third parties port, canal and bunkers consumed during the term of the time charter agreement. Such costs are considered direct costs and are not recorded as they are directly paid by charterers, unless they are for the account of the owner, in which case they are included in voyage expenses. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors incur voyage expenses that mainly include commissions because all of vessels are employed under time charters that require the charterer to bear voyage expenses such as bunkers (fuel oil), port and canal charges. When a vessel is delivered to a charterer, bunkers are purchased by the charterer and sold back to OceanPal Inc. Predecessors on the redelivery of the vessel. Bunker gain, or loss, result when a vessel is redelivered by her charterer and delivered to the next charterer at different bunker prices, or quantities. For the period From January 1, 2021, to November 29, 2021, and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors incurred gain on bunkers amounting to $330,454, and loss on bunkers amounting to $287,352 and $229,481, respectively, resulting mainly from the difference in the value of bunkers paid by OceanPal Inc. Predecessors when the vessel is redelivered to OceanPal Inc. Predecessors from the charterer under the vessel’s previous time charter agreement and the value of bunkers sold by OceanPal Inc. Predecessors when the vessel is delivered to a new charterer. This gain/loss is included in “Voyage expenses” in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of comprehensive income / (loss). Additionally, the owner pays commissions on the hire revenue, to both the charterer and to brokers, which are direct costs and are recorded in voyage expenses. Under a time charter agreement, the owner pays for the operation and the maintenance of the vessel, including crew, insurance, spares and repairs, which are recognized in operating expenses. Revenues from time charter agreements providing for varying annual rates are accounted for as operating leases and thus recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable rental periods of such agreements, as service is performed. Deferred revenue includes cash received prior to the balance sheet date for which all criteria to recognize as revenue have not been met. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors, as lessors, have elected not to allocate the consideration in the agreement to the separate lease and non-lease components (operation and maintenance of the vessel) as their timing and pattern of transfer to the charterer, as the lessee, are the same and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Additionally, the lease component is considered the predominant component as OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have assessed that more value is ascribed to the vessel rather than to the services provided under the time charter contracts.

Repairs and Maintenance

p)Repairs and Maintenance: All repair and maintenance expenses including underwater inspection expenses are expensed in the year incurred. Such costs are included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying combined carve-out statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss).

Segmental Reporting

q)Segmental Reporting: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors engage in the operation of dry-bulk vessels which has been identified as one reportable segment. The operation of the vessels is the main source of revenue generation, the services provided by the vessels are similar and they all operate under the same economic environment. Additionally, the vessels do not operate in specific geographic areas, as they trade worldwide; they do not trade in specific trade routes, as their trading (route and cargo) is dictated by the charterers; and OceanPal Inc. Predecessors do not evaluate the operating results for each type of dry bulk vessels (Panamax or Capesize) for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance.

Fair Value Measurements

r)Fair Value Measurements: OceanPal Inc. Predecessors classify and discloses their assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Going concern

s)Going concern: Management evaluates, at each reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the combined carve-out financial statements are issued.

Financial instruments, credit losses

t)Financial Instruments, credit losses: At each reporting date, OceanPal Inc. Predecessors evaluate financial assets for credit losses and presents such assets in the net amount expected to be collected on such financial asset. When financial assets present similar risk characteristics, these are evaluated on a collective basis. When developing an estimate of expected credit losses OceanPal Inc. Predecessors consider available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows such as internal information, past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. No allowance for credit loss has been recorded in the accompanying statements of comprehensive income/(loss) during the period from January 1, 2021 through November 29, 2021, and the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements -Not yet adopted

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Not yet adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 applies to contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be terminated because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in this Update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this Update to eligible hedging relationships existing as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020 and to new eligible hedging relationships entered into after the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020. An entity may elect certain optional expedients for hedging relationships that exist as of December 31, 2022 and maintain those optional expedients through the end of the hedging relationship. ASU 2020-04 can be adopted as of March 12, 2020. OceanPal Inc. Predecessors have assessed the impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the combined carve-out financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05 Leases (Topic 842): Lessors-Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments. The ASU amends the lessor lease classification guidance in ASC 842 for leases that include any amount of variable lease payments that are not based on an index or rate. If such a lease meets the criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2 through 25-3 for classification as either a sales-type or direct financing lease, and application of the sales-type or direct financing lease recognition guidance would result in recognition of a selling loss, then the amendments require the lessor to classify the lease as an operating lease. For public business entities that have adopted ASC 842 as of July 19, 2021, the amendments in ASU 2021-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of this new accounting guidance and the adoption of this ASU has been assessed and it is expected that it does not have a material impact on the OceanPal Inc. Predecessors’ combined carve-out financial statements and related disclosures.
