                  TOP TANKERS ANNOUNCES DELIVERY OF TWO TANKERS


ATHENS,  GREECE (November 9, 2005) ... TOP Tankers Inc (Nasdaq:TOPT),  announced
today that it has taken delivery of two double-hull  tankers, the M/T Ioannis P,
a 46,346 DWT Handymax product tanker, built in 2003 by Hanjin Heavy Industries &
Construction  Co Ltd of the  Republic  of Korea,  and the Ellen P, a 146,268 DWT
tanker,  built in 1996 by Harland & Wolff  Heavy  Industries  Ltd, of the United
Kingdom.  Both vessels have been financed  with the Company's  cash reserves and
secured bank credit lines.

     The M/T Ioannis P has entered  into a five-year  profit-sharing  employment
agreement with Glencore SA, one of the world's largest oil traders.

     The M/T Ellen P is the  second of four  Suezmax  deliveries  for the fourth
quarter of 2005, with the remaining two vessels  expected to be delivered by the
beginning of December 2005. The vessel will  immediately  enter a back-haul spot
voyage at a TCE rate of approximately $60,000 per day.

Forward Looking Statement
-------------------------

     Matters   discussed   in  this  release  may   constitute   forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to
future events and financial  performance and may include  statements  concerning
plans,  objectives,   goals,  strategies,  future  events  or  performance,  and
underlying assumptions and other statements,  which are other than statements of
historical facts.

     The  forward-looking  statements  in this  release  are based upon  various
assumptions,  many of which  are  based,  in  turn,  upon  further  assumptions,
including without limitation,  management's  examination of historical operating
trends,  data  contained  in our  records  and other data  available  from third
parties.  Although TOP Tankers  believes that these  assumptions were reasonable
when made,  because these  assumptions  are  inherently  subject to  significant
uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and
are beyond our control,  TOP Tankers  cannot  assure you that it will achieve or
accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

     Important  factors that, in our view,  could cause actual results to differ
materially from those discussed in the  forward-looking  statements  include the
strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including
changes in charterhire  rates and vessel values,  failure of a seller to deliver
one or more  vessels,  failure  of a  buyer  to  accept  delivery  of a  vessel,
inability  to  procure  acquisition  financing,  changes  in demand  for oil and
petroleum products,  the effect of changes in OPEC's petroleum production levels
and worldwide  oil  consumption  and storage,  changes in demand that may affect
attitudes of time charterers,  scheduled and unscheduled drydocking,  changes in
our voyage and operating  expenses,  including  bunker prices,  dry-docking  and
insurance  costs,  changes  in  governmental  rules  and  regulations  including
requirements for double-hull tankers or actions taken by regulatory authorities,
potential   liability   from   pending  or  future   litigation,   domestic  and
international political conditions,  potential disruption of shipping routes due
to accidents and political events or acts by terrorists.

     Risks and  uncertainties  are  further  described  in reports  filed by TOP
Tankers with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
