EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 9 (the “Amendment No. 9”) to the Schedule 13D amends the statement on Schedule 13D that was originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 13, 2021 (the “Schedule 13D”) as amended on October 6, 2023, October 16, 2023, October 18, 2023, November 24, 2023, December 15, 2023, January 22, 2024, February 22, 2024, and March 7, 2024 filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) related to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of OceanPal Inc. (the “Issuer”).
This Amendment No. 9 is being filed to report a decrease in the percentage ownership of Shares the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own through its ownership of the Issuer’s Series D Preferred Stock which may be converted into Shares of the Issuer at the Reporting Person’s option (subject to certain ownership restrictions contained in the Series D Preferred Stock statement of designation) as a result of a change in the Series D Preferred Stock’s conversion price.


Item 1.
Security and Issuer.
   
 
This amended Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of OceanPal Inc. (the “Issuer”). The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer is Pendelis 26, 175 64 Palaio Faliro, Athens, Greece.
   
Item 2.
Identity and Background.
   
 
This amended Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of Anastasios Margaronis (“Margaronis”), a citizen of Greece, and Anamar Investments Inc., a Marshall Islands corporation (“Anamar”). Margaronis and Anamar are collectively referred to as the “Reporting Persons” Margaronis may be deemed to beneficially own all of the issued and outstanding shares of Anamar, as the result of Margaronis’ ability to control the vote and disposition of such shares.
 
The principal business address for the Reporting Persons is Pendelis 16, 175 64 Palaio Faliro, Athens, Greece.
 
To the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, the Reporting persons have not, during the last five years, been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding were not and are not subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.
   
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
   
 
As partial consideration for the Issuer’s purchase of the m/v Baltimore and m/v Melia from Diana Shipping Inc. (“Diana Shipping”), the Issuer issued shares of its 7.0% Series D Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) to Diana Shipping. Diana Shipping exercised its right to convert shares of the Series D Preferred Stock into shares of the Issuer’s Shares in accordance with the Statement of Designations defining the rights, terms and preferences of the Series D Preferred Stock. Diana Shipping distributed on December 15, 2022 and June 9, 2023, respectively, all of the common shares issued upon the conversion of certain shares of Series D Preferred Stock to its common shareholders (other than those electing to receive shares of Series D Preferred Stock) of record as of the respective distribution record dates (the “Record Dates”), on a pro rata basis (both distributions referred to as the “Distributions”). In connection with the Distributions, Diana Shipping allowed its common shareholders of record as of the Record Date to elect to receive the number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock allocable to such shareholder instead of the Shares.
 
The Reporting Persons, as common shareholders of Diana Shipping as of the Record Dates, elected to receive their Diana Shipping distribution in shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of Shares through their ownership of Series D Preferred Stock which may be converted into common shares at the Reporting Persons’ option, subject to certain ownership restrictions contained in the Series D Preferred Stock’s statement of designation, including that shares of the Series D Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into the Issuer’s common shares to the extent that such conversion would result in the Reporting Persons becoming the beneficial owner of more than 49% of the total issued and outstanding common Shares.
   
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
   
 
The Reporting Persons acquired the Shares in connection with the Distributions as described herein solely for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons, at any time and from time to time, may acquire additional Shares, including in connection with the provision of any services or other strategic transactions with the Issuer, or dispose of any or all of the Shares they own depending upon an ongoing evaluation of their investment in the Shares, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, other investment considerations and/or other factors. The Reporting Persons further reserve the right to act in concert with any other shareholders of the Issuer, or other persons, for a common purpose should they determine to do so, and/or to recommend courses of action to the Issuer’s management, the Issuer’s Board of Directors, the Issuer’s shareholders and others. In addition, the Reporting Persons are in contact with members of the Issuer’s management, the members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors, other significant shareholders and others regarding alternatives that the Issuer could employ to increase shareholder value.
