Danaos' CEO Dr. John Coustas commented: "We are very pleased with our second quarter and half year 2008 results. During the first half of 2008, we continued to successfully implement our growth strategy, adding additional vessel capacity and further diversifying our customer base. During the second quarter, the Montreal Senator commenced its new 2 year charter out. There are no other charter renewals required in 2008. In May, we sold the 30 year-old Maersk Constantia for a net profit of $9.3 million. During the second quarter, we have more intensely focussed on our efforts to control costs and further boost the quality of our operations and the overall performance of our fleet. We have also undertaken all necessary actions to provide for the successful integration of our 34 vessel new-building program. In the second quarter, markets in the main Transpacific and Europe Far-East trades deteriorated. The Transpacific trades declined by approximately 2% to 3% and the growth in Europe Far-East trades dropped from 20% in the first half of 2007 to 10% in the first half of 2008. Peripheral routes in the Middle East, South America, India and intra-Asia, however, have continued to evidence resilience and strong growth patterns. This fact, together with slow steaming that many liner companies began to adopt, will mitigate any adverse effects stemming from reduction in overall demand. Charter market rates reflected a weakening in the sub 3,000 TEU sizes, giving up the gains of 2007 and returning to 2006 levels. Larger size vessels continue to trade at their highs despite some subletting activity. A difficult to quantify, but yet important factor to the analysis of trends is the effect on the overall volume of Asia related trades due to the Beijing Olympics. Factories close to the Olympic venues have reduced or even stopped production in an effort to alleviate pollution and this effect is taking its toll on China's export activity. Trends in demand should become clearer during the 3rd quarter as the impact of the crisis in financial markets, rising commodity prices and inflationary pressures are reflected in revisions to economic growth projections. The long term fixed rate charters under which the Company's vessels are deployed protect us from current charter market volatility. Consistent with past practice, we will continue to closely monitor the market for any opportunities that may arise. Our strong balance sheet and solid income base give us the confidence to consider any such accretive opportunities. On July 25, 2008, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.465 per share for the second quarter, which will be paid on August 20, 2008. The dividend reflects our dedication to support shareholder value through enhanced distributable cash flows, resulting from the successful implementation of our growth strategy."
During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, Danaos had an average of 37.5 containerships as opposed to 30.9 containerships for the same period of 2007. On May 20, 2008 we sold a thirty year old vessel, the Maersk Constantia. Given the sale of our entire dry bulk fleet in the beginning of 2007, management has determined that the dry bulk business constituted discontinued operations. The management and discussion analysis solely reflects results from continuing operations (containerships), unless otherwise noted. Our net income was $33.7 million or $0.62 per share for the second quarter of 2008 compared to $29.0 million or $0.53 per share for the second quarter of 2007, an increase in net income of 16.2% or $4.7 million. Earnings per share, excluding the gain on sale of vessels of $9.3 million, was $0.45 for the second quarter of 2008. Distributable cash flow, defined as net income before depreciation & amortization, less payments for drydocking and special survey costs was $44.8 million for the second quarter of 2008. Our declared dividend of $25.4 million for the second quarter of 2008 represents 56.7% of our distributable cash flow. Operating Revenue Operating revenue increased 17.7%, or $11.1 million, to $73.9 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from $62.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The increase was primarily attributed to the addition to our fleet of 11 vessels, as follows: Vessel Name Vessel Size (TEU) Date Delivered ------------------- ----------------- ------------------- YM Singapore 4,300 October 9, 2007 YM Seattle 4,253 September 10, 2007 YM Vancouver 4,253 November 27, 2007 Hyundai Vladivostok 2,200 July 23, 2007 Hyundai Advance 2,200 August 20, 2007 Hyundai Stride 2,200 September 5, 2007 Hyundai Future 2,200 October 2, 2007 Hyundai Sprinter 2,200 October 15, 2007 Hyundai Progress 2,200 February 11, 2008 Hyundai Highway 2,200 March 18, 2008 Hyundai Bridge 2,200 March 20, 2008 These additions to our fleet contributed revenues of $18.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008. In addition, the Company sold five vessels as follows: Vessel Name Vessel Size (TEU) Date Sold ------------------- ----------------- ------------------- APL Scotland 5,506 June 22, 2007 APL Holland 5,506 August 3, 2007 APL Belgium 5,506 January 15, 2008 Winterberg 3,101 January 25, 2008 Maersk Constantia 3,101 May 20, 2008 The vessel sales reduced operating revenue by $7.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year. The balance of $0.4 million is attributed to more scheduled off-hire days, decreased by higher charter rates achieved due to the re-chartering of certain vessels. As a result, our fleet utilization reached 97.7% in the second quarter of 2008. Vessel Operating Expenses Vessel operating expenses increased 43.0% or $6.8 million, to $22.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008, from $15.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The increase was mainly due to the increase in the average number of our vessels in our fleet and a general increase in costs experienced by the overall industry during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Depreciation & Amortization Depreciation & Amortization includes Depreciation and Amortization of Deferred Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs. Depreciation Depreciation expense increased 26.5%, or $2.6 million, to $12.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008, from $9.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The increase in depreciation expense was due to the increased average number of vessels in our fleet during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period of 2007. Amortization of Deferred Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs increased 28.6%, or $0.4 million, to $1.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008, from $1.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The increase reflects higher drydocking costs incurred, which were subject to amortization during the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period of 2007. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses increased 15.4%, or $0.4 million, to $3.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008, from $2.6 million in the same quarter of 2007. The increase was a result of increased fees of $0.4 million paid to our Manager in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007 based on an increase in the average number of our vessels in our fleet. Gain / (loss) on sale of vessels The gain on sale of vessels for the period ended June 30, 2008, reflects the sale of the Maersk Constantia for $15.8 million resulting in a net gain of $9.3 million. Other Operating Expenses Other Operating Expenses include Voyage Expenses Voyage Expenses Voyage expenses increased 62.5% or $1.0 million, to $2.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008, from $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The increase was mainly a result of increased bunker costs of $0.7 million, attributed to the repositioning of two of our vessels in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Our vessels are not otherwise subject to fuel costs, which are picked up by our charterers. Interest Expense and Interest Income Interest expense increased 83.3%, or $3.5 million, to $7.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008, from $4.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The change in interest expense was due to the increase in our average debt by $882.0 million to $1,569.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from $687.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, partially offset by the financing of our extensive new-building program which resulted in interest capitalization of $11.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 as opposed to $4.3 million of capitalized interest for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. Interest income decreased by $0.4 million, to $0.9 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008, from $1.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in interest income is mainly attributed to lower interest rates, which is partially offset by higher average bank deposits during the three months ended June 30, 2008 as opposed to the three months ended June 30, 2007. EBITDA EBITDA from continuing operations increased by $11.6 million, or 26.8%, to $54.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2008, from $43.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. A table reconciling EBITDA to net income can be found at the end of this earnings release. Net income (loss) from discontinued operations During the second quarter of 2008, we recorded an expense of $1.5 million following an adverse outcome of a legal case regarding the operation of one of our dry bulk vessels sold in May 2007. Six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 During the six months ended June 30, 2008, Danaos had an average of 36.9 containerships as opposed to 30.9 containerships for the same period of 2007. During the first half of 2008, we acquired three vessels, the Hyundai Progress on February 11, 2008, the Hyundai Highway on March 18, 2008 and the Hyundai Bridge on March 20, 2008. In addition, we sold three vessels, the APL Belgium on January 15, 2008, the Winterberg on January 25, 2008 and the Maersk Constantia on May 20, 2008. Given the sale of our entire dry bulk fleet in the beginning of 2007, management has determined that the dry bulk business constituted discontinued operations. The management and discussion analysis solely reflects results from continuing operations (containerships), unless otherwise noted. Our net income was $65.3 million or $1.20 per share for the first half of 2008 compared to $53.0 million or $0.97 per share for the first half of 2007, an increase in net income of 23.2% or $12.3 million. Earnings per share, excluding the gain on sale of vessels of $14.9 million, was $0.92 for the first six months of 2008. Distributable cash flow, defined as net income before depreciation & amortization, less payments for drydocking and special survey costs, was $86.5 million for the first half of 2008. We paid a dividend of $25.4 million for the first quarter of 2008 and we declared a dividend of $25.4 million for the second quarter of 2008, which in aggregate represent 58.7% of our distributable cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Operating Revenue Operating revenue increased 15.1%, or $18.9 million, to $143.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $124.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Moreover, a 4,300 TEU containership, the YM Colombo which was added to our fleet on March 12, 2007, contributed incremental revenues of $1.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. In addition, the Company sold six vessels as follows: Vessel Name Vessel Size (TEU) Date Sold ------------------- ---------------- ------------------- APL England 5,506 March 7, 2007 APL Scotland 5,506 June 22, 2007 APL Holland 5,506 August 3, 2007 APL Belgium 5,506 January 15, 2008 Winterberg 3,101 January 25, 2008 Maersk Constantia 3,101 May 20, 2008 These sales reduced operating revenue by $16.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in the prior year. The balance of $0.9 million is attributable to more scheduled off-hire days, partially offset by higher charter rates achieved due to the re-chartering of certain of our vessels.

========= ========= ========= =========
(1) EBITDA represents net income before interest, income tax expense,
depreciation and amortization. However, EBITDA is not a recognized
measurement under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or
"GAAP." We believe that the presentation of EBITDA is useful to
investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts,
investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies
in our industry. We also believe that EBITDA is useful in evaluating
our ability to service additional debt and make capital expenditures.
In addition, we believe that EBITDA is useful in evaluating our
operating performance and liquidity position compared to that of other
companies in our industry because the calculation of EBITDA generally
eliminates the effects of financings, income taxes and the accounting
effects of capital expenditures and acquisitions, items which may vary
for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating
performance and liquidity.Contact: For further information please contact:
