Star Maritime Acquisition Corp.

Star Maritime Acquisition Corp. (ticker: SEA1) was a blank check company formed to pursue acquisitions in the maritime shipping sector. Sponsored by entities affiliated with Greek shipping executive Petros Pappas, the SPAC completed its IPO in 2005 with a focus on vessel operators and related maritime businesses. A PRER14A preliminary proxy amendment filed in July 2007 reflected the company's active pursuit of shareholder approval for a business combination. SEA1 ultimately completed a merger with Excel Maritime Carriers Ltd., a dry-bulk shipping operator, transitioning out of blank check status.
