                                                               December 15, 2003

OMI Corporation
One Station Place
Stamford, Connecticut 06902

Ladies and Gentlemen:

            I am the General Counsel of OMI Corporation (the "Company"), a
Marshall Islands corporation, and have acted in such capacity in connection with
the offer by the Company to exchange outstanding 7.625% Senior Notes due
December 1, 2013 of the Company (the "outstanding notes") issued under the
Indenture dated as of November 26, 2003 (the "Indenture") among the Company,
certain subsidiary guarantors as set forth therein (the "Guarantors") and HSBC
Bank USA, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), for 7.625% Senior Notes due December 1,
2013 of the Company (the "Exchange Notes") which will be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form
S-4 filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Registration Statement"). This opinion is delivered in connection with the
filing of the Registration Statement.

         In so acting, I have examined the originals, or copies certified or
otherwise identified, of the restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws,
each as amended to date, of the Company, the certificates of formation and
limited liability company agreements and other organizational documents of the
Guarantors, each as amended to date, the Indenture, the form of the Exchange
Notes, the corporate records of the Company and the Guarantors, including the
minute books of the Company and the Guarantors, certificates of public officials
and of representatives of the Company, oral representations of the Company's
employees, statutes and other instruments and documents, as a basis for the
opinions hereinafter expressed. In giving these opinions, I have relied on
statements of representatives of the Company with respect to the accuracy of all
factual matters, and I have assumed that all signatures on documents examined by
me are genuine, all documents submitted to me as originals are authentic, all
documents submitted to me as certified or photostatic copies conform to the
originals of those documents and those originals are authentic.

         On the basis of the foregoing, and subject to the limitations and
assumptions set forth herein, I am of the following opinions:

     1. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company and the Guarantors and, assuming due authorization, execution and
delivery by the Trustee,





constitutes a valid and legally binding instrument, enforceable against the
Company and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms, subject, as to
enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general
equity principles;

     2. The form of the Exchange Notes has been established in conformity with
the provisions of the Indenture;

     3. The Exchange Notes have been duly authorized for issuance by the Company
and the Guarantors, and when duly executed by the proper officers of the Company
in accordance with the Indenture, duly authenticated by the Trustee and duly
exchanged for the same principal amount of outstanding notes, will constitute
valid and legally binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantors entitled
to the benefits of the Indenture, enforceable in accordance with their terms,
subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
principles.

            I am licensed to practice law in the State of New York. The opinions
set forth above are limited in all respects to matters of the laws of the State
of New York, the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware, the
limited liability company law of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the
limited liability company law of the Republic of Liberia. Insofar as the laws of
the Republic of the Marshall Islands are involved in my opinion, I have relied
upon my examination of the corporate and limited liability company laws of the
Republic of the Marshall Islands as contained in booklets delivered to me by
International Registries, Inc. and the Liberian International Ship & Corporate
Registry, LLC, and my interpretation of analogous laws in the United States.
This opinion is provided in my capacity as General Counsel of the Company and
not in my individual capacity as an attorney.

            I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to me under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the Registration Statement. In so doing, I do not admit that I am in
the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.


                                        Very truly yours,


                                        /s/ Fredric S. London, Esq.
