Omega Navigation Enterprises, Inc. Restructures Debt into a Non Amortizing Facility

March 31, 2008

Piraeus, Greece, March 31, 2008 - Omega Navigation Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:ONAV, SGX: ONAV50), a provider of global marine transportation services focusing on product tankers, announced today it has completed a restructuring of its current senior debt facility and has entered into a new junior debt facility.

Debt Restructuring

Effective March 28, 2008 Omega has completed a restructuring of its current debt facility with HSH Nordbank as agent of a syndication of Banks and entered into a new junior facility with NIBC Bank N.V. and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd.

The Senior Facility will be reduced from its current outstanding balance of $ 284.2 million dollars to $242.7 million. This facility is secured by a first mortgage on the Company's current fleet of eight vessels. The facility will have a term until April of 2011 and will be non amortizing. The facility is priced at a margin grid ranging from 0.9% up to 1.10% above LIBOR based on the Loan to Value ratio. Presently the rate is calculated at 0.9% above LIBOR.

The Junior Facility, in the amount of $42.5 million, will be used to partially repay the senior facility together with relevant fees and is secured by a second mortgage on our current fleet of eight vessels. The facility will also be non amortizing. The term will be consistent with the term of the senior facility and will be priced at a margin grid ranging between 2.25 to 3.00 % above LIBOR based on the Loan to Value ratio of both the Senior and Junior facilities. Presently the rate is calculated at 2.5% above LIBOR. The entire Junior Facility will be fixed through a 3 year interest rate swap with the swap rate of approximately 2.96%.

While the overall debt level of the Company remains approximately the same, currently at about 55% Loan to Value on the fleet of 8 vessels, the restructuring significantly increases the financial flexibility of the Company while at the same time lowers our overall cost of borrowing. The non amortizing facilities, which will free up approximately $15 million of cash flow in 2008 and about $ 41.4 million until the maturity, will allow the Company to reserve more cash for potential acquisition opportunities. Also, we believe the covenants associated with both facilities are now further improved and more in line with industry standards. Because of the young age (less than three years old) and quality of our existing fleet the Company expects to be able to refinance the fleet at the end of the term of the facilities.

George Kassiotis, President and CEO of the Company commented, "We are extremely pleased to have concluded this restructuring of our debt, particularly in these challenging times for the credit markets, exhibiting the confidence of our lenders in our Company and its fundamentals. The restructuring increases the financial flexibility of the Company to a very large degree. The non amortizing aspect of both facilities gives more visibility to our partial payout structure as the Company retains further reserves enhancing its ability to take advantage of potential accretive opportunities in the market while our current quarterly dividend policy is protected by the fixed charters on our vessels and by our subordinated share structure in favor of our public shareholders."
