        TOP TANKERS ANNOUNCES RE-ACQUISITION OF FOUR SUEZMAX TANKERS, AND
                      UNWINDING OF FIVE BARE-BOAT CHARTERS

ATHENS, GREECE (May 29, 2007) ... TOP Tankers Inc (NasdaqGS:TOPT), announced
today that it has entered into an agreement to re-acquire four suezmax tankers
that it sold in 2006 in a sale and lease-back transaction, and to terminate the
respective operating leases. The four suezmax tankers are Limitless (DWT 136,055
built 1993), Endless (DWT 135,915 built 1992), Noiseless (DWT 149,554 built
1992) and Stainless (DWT 149,599 built 1992). The total purchase price for the
four vessels is $208 million and will be financed 70% by bank debt, already
secured with a leading shipping lender, 10% by the early redemption of the
seller's credit associated with the 2006 sales and lease back transactions and
20% by existing cash balances. The deal is expected to close early June 2007.

In addition, the Company announced today the termination of its bare-boat
agreement for the Handymax tanker Invincible (DWT 47,084 built 1992), after sale
of the vessel from its Lessors to a third party. The deferred gain from the
original sale of approximately $2.4 million will be recognized in the second
quarter of 2007.

Subject to the accounting treatment relating to the acquisition cost, the
Company expects the re-acquisition and the termination of the five bare-boat
contracts to have an accretive effect on both its cash flow from operations and
earnings per share.

The accretion will result primarily from the following factors related to the
re-acquisition of the vessels and removal of related lease payments associated
with the five vessels:

     o    The expected  decrease of $19.8 million of lease payments for 2007 and
          $33.8  million  for 2008 and  thereafter  per year  until the  initial
          expiration of the leases in April 2013;

     o    The amortization of lease gain is expected to decrease by $1.6 million
          for 2007 and by $2.7  million for 2008 and  thereafter  per year until
          the initial expiration of the leases;

     o    The Company expects  depreciation  expense to increase by $9.1 million
          for 2007 and by $15.6 million for 2008 and  thereafter  per year until
          the initial expiration of the leases;

     o    The Company also expects  interest expense to increase by $5.3 million
          for 2007 and by $7.1  million for 2008 and  thereafter  per year until
          the initial expiration of the leases.

By re-acquiring the four Suezmaxes, the Company expects to improve the daily
breakeven rates of its Suezmax fleet.

The addition of the four vessels will increase the Company's owned fleet from
five to nine vessels.
