      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">ATHENS, GREECE, December 11, 2024 &#8211; Performance Shipping Inc. (NASDAQ: PSHG), (&#8220;we&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), a global shipping company specializing in the ownership of tanker vessels, today announced the release of its
        2023 Sustainability Report (the &#8220;Report&#8221;), highlighting how the Company addresses Environmental, Social and Governance (&#8220;ESG&#8221;) issues as part of its ongoing effort to increase transparency and accountability. The Report, which covers the full year
        2023 and is developed with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative Universal Standards 2021 (&#8220;GRI&#8217;s&#8221;), outlines the Company&#8217;s commitments and efforts toward building strong corporate governance and operating sustainably and responsibly. </div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">
        <div style="text-align: left;">The Report is available on the Company&#8217;s <u>website</u> (<u>https://pshipping.com/sites/default/files/2024-12/ESG2023.pdf</u>).</div>

      </div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold;">About the Company </div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Performance Shipping Inc. is a global provider of shipping transportation services through its ownership of tanker vessels. The Company employs its fleet on spot voyages, through pool arrangements and on time
        charters. </div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; font-weight: bold;">Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements </div>
      <div>&#160;</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to
        encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying
        assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts, including with respect to the delivery of the vessels we have agreed to acquire, future market conditions and the prospective financing and employment of our
        vessels. The words &#8220;believe," &#8220;anticipate," &#8220;intends," &#8220;estimate," &#8220;forecast," &#8220;project," &#8220;plan," &#8220;potential," &#8220;will," &#8220;may," &#8220;should," &#8220;expect," &#8220;targets," &#8220;likely," &#8220;would," &#8220;could," &#8220;seeks," &#8220;continue," &#8220;possible," &#8220;might," &#8220;pending&#8221; and similar
        expressions, terms or phrases may identify forward-looking statements. </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="clear: both; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;" class="BRPFPageBreakArea">
        <div style="page-break-after: always;" class="BRPFPageBreak">
          <hr noshade="noshade" style="margin: 4px 0px; width: 100%; border-width: 0; height: 2px; color: #000000; background-color: #000000; clear: both;"></div>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including, without limitation, our management&#8217;s examination of
        historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although we believe 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, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs, or projections. </div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited
        to: the strength of world economies, fluctuations in currencies and interest rates, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the tanker shipping industry, changes in the supply of
        vessels, changes in worldwide oil production and consumption and storage, changes in our operating expenses, including bunker prices, crew costs, drydocking and insurance costs, our future operating or financial results, availability of financing
        and refinancing including with respect to vessels we agree to acquire, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and
        international political conditions, the length and severity of epidemics and pandemics, including COVID-19, and their impact on the demand for seaborne transportation of petroleum and other types of products, changes in governmental rules and
        regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, general domestic and international political conditions or events, including &#8220;trade wars&#8221;, armed conflicts including the war in Ukraine and the war between Israel and Hamas or Iran, the
        imposition of new international sanctions, acts by terrorists or acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, labor disputes or political events, vessel breakdowns and instances of off-hires and
        other important factors. Please see our filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties.</div>
