Globus Maritime Ltd Announces the Delivery of the New Supramax Dry Bulk Carrier 
"Star Globe" 
 
 
Athens, Greece, May 25, 2010. Globus Maritime Ltd ("Globus" or the "Company") 
(AIM: GLBS), a global shipping transportation company that owns and operates 
Supramax and Panamax dry bulk carriers, announces that it took delivery from an 
unaffiliated third party of the bulk carrier "Star Globe", the second of two 
sistership-vessels it had previously agreed to acquire for US$32,825,000 each as 
announced on April 8, 2010. 
 
The M/V "Star Globe", built in May 2010, is a geared and grab-fitted supramax 
bulk carrier with a carrying capacity of 56,868 dwt. The vessel was financed 
from the Company's existing bank facility and cash balances, and will fly the 
Marshall Islands flag. Following the delivery, the "Star Globe" began a time 
charter to Transgrain Shipping at the gross rate of US$22,000 per day for a 
minimum of 11 to a maximum of 13 months. 
 
George Karageorgiou, Chief Executive of Globus Maritime, commented: "We are 
pleased to have taken delivery of the "Star Globe", a modern Supramax vessel, 
which expands our fleet to four vessels, further enhancing our ability to 
generate revenues and profits, while decreasing the weighted average age of our 
fleet."
