We refer to each person that may sell shares under this prospectus as a selling shareholder. This prospectus does not cover the issuance of any of our common shares by us and we will receive no proceeds from the sale of any of our common shares by the selling shareholders.

Our common shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “GLBS.” The closing price of our common shares on the Nasdaq Global Market on March 31, 2011 was $8.99.

The selling shareholders will receive all of the net proceeds from the sale of our common shares. We will pay all expenses incurred in connection with the registration of our common shares covered by this prospectus.

On July 29, 2010, we effected a four-for-one reverse split of our common shares. Unless otherwise noted, all historical share numbers and per share amounts in this prospectus have been adjusted to give effect to this reverse split.

Investing in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” on page 5 for information that should be considered by prospective investors.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
The following summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and may not contain all the information that is important to you. To understand our business and this offering fully, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, the information incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the other documents to which this prospectus refers. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements and information relating to Globus Maritime Limited. Please read “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”

In this prospectus, the “Company,” “Globus,” “Globus Maritime,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Globus Maritime Limited and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

References to our common shares are references to Globus Maritime Limited’s common shares, par value $0.004 per share, or, as applicable, the ordinary shares of Globus Maritime Limited prior to our redomiciliation into the Marshall Islands. References to our Class B shares are references to Globus Maritime Limited’s Class B shares, par value $0.001 per share, none of which are currently outstanding. We refer to both our common shares and Class B shares as our shares. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “dollars” and “$” in this prospectus are to, and amounts are presented in, U.S. dollars.

OUR COMPANY

We are an integrated dry bulk shipping company, which began operations in September 2006, providing marine transportation services on a worldwide basis. We own, operate and manage a fleet of dry bulk vessels that transport iron ore, coal, grain, steel products, cement, alumina and other dry bulk cargoes internationally. Following the conclusion of our initial public offering on June 1, 2007, our common shares were listed on the Alternative Investment Market under the ticker “GLBS.L.” On July 29, 2010, we effected a one-for-four reverse stock split, with our issued share capital resulting in 7,240,852 shares of $0.004 each.  On November 24, 2010, we redomiciled into the Marshall Islands pursuant to the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act, or the BCA, and a resale registration statement for our common shares was declared effective by the SEC.  Once the resale registration statement was declared effective by the SEC, our common shares began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker “GLBS.”  We delisted our common shares from the Alternative Investment Market on November 26, 2010.

We intend to grow our fleet through timely and selective acquisitions of modern vessels in a manner that we believe will provide an attractive return on equity and will be accretive to our earnings and cash flow based on anticipated market rates at the time of purchase. There is no guarantee however, that we will be able to find suitable vessels to purchase or that such vessels will provide an attractive return on equity or be accretive to our earnings and cash flow.

Our policy is to charter our vessels on charters generally with durations of up to three years, while also engaging vessels on the spot market. We may, from time to time, enter into charters with longer durations depending on our assessment of market conditions.

Our operations are managed by our Athens, Greece-based wholly owned subsidiary, Globus Shipmanagement Corp., which provides in-house commercial and technical management exclusively for our vessels.

OUR FLEET

The weighted average age of the vessels in our fleet as of December 31, 2010 was 4.0 years. The following table presents information concerning our vessels as of December 31, 2010.

(1) This table shows gross rates and does not reflect any commissions payable.
(2) The time charter contains a provision that allows for redelivery plus or minus 15 days.

In March 2011, we entered into a memorandum of agreement with an unaffiliated third party for, subject to certain conditions, the acquisition of a 58,790 dwt dry bulk carrier built in 2007 by the Tsuneishi Heavy Industries Cebu shipyard for a purchase price of $30.3 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered during the third quarter of 2011. In addition, the vessel will be acquired with a time charter agreement attached at a gross daily rate of $16,000 that is expected to terminate in the first quarter of 2015.

Our policy is to charter the majority of our vessels with durations of up to three years, while also employing a small number of our vessels on the spot market. We believe our chartering strategy provides cash flow stability and high utilization rates, while reducing our potential exposure to a market downturn, and at the same time exposing us to the potential revenues that can be generated on the spot market. We may, however, seek to employ a greater portion of our fleet on the spot market or on time charters with longer durations, should we believe it to be in our best interests. We continually monitor developments in the dry bulk shipping industry and, subject to market demand, will adjust the number of vessels on charters and the charter periods for our vessels according to market conditions.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements and information within the meaning of U.S. securities laws. Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts or that are not present facts or conditions. Forward-looking statements and information can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology or words, such as, “anticipate,” “approximately,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “ongoing,” “pending,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seeks,” “should,” “views” or similar words or phrases or variations thereon, or the negatives of those words or phrases, or statements that events, conditions or results “can,” “will,” “may,” “must,” “would,” “could” or “should” occur or be achieved and similar expressions in connection with any discussion, expectation or projection of future operating or financial performance, costs, regulations, events or trends. The absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements and information are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all statements in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus concerning or relating to estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenses, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates, financial results and liquidity are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time may make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. Such forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting our best judgment based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Other factors may affect the accuracy of these forward-looking statements and our actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by us may include, but are not limited to, those factors and conditions described under “Risk Factors” as well as general conditions in the economy, dry bulk industry and capital markets. We undertake no obligation to revise any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or new information, other than any obligation to disclose material information under applicable securities laws.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider the “Risk Factors” included under Item 3.D. of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, which we refer to as our annual report and which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements and information. In addition, please read "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this prospectus, where we describe additional uncertainties associated with our business and the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Please note that additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business and operations.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of securities offered by the selling shareholders.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization and indebtedness as of February 28, 2011. There has been no material change in our capitalization between February 28, 2011 and the date of this prospectus.

DILUTION
 
Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2010 was $117,788 or $16.16 per common share (as adjusted after the reverse split of our common shares). Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our tangible book value (total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding common shares (as adjusted after the reverse split of our common shares) on December 31, 2010.

The offering by our selling shareholders under this prospectus will not impact our net tangible book value or our net tangible book value per share and thus there is no dilution pursuant to this offering.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of our common shares in the United States or the availability of our common shares for sale in the United States will have on the market price of our common shares. Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity or equity-related securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

7,289,688 of our common shares are outstanding, and no Class B shares are outstanding, although we intend to issue in 2011 a special stock dividend of Class B shares to the holders of our common shares in a ratio of one Class B share for every number of common shares owned that we will determine in the future in connection with such dividend. The common shares registered in our registration statement to which this prospectus relates will be freely transferable in the United States without restriction under the Securities Act. The remaining outstanding common shares, if any, may be sold in the public market only if registered under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which is summarized below, or another SEC rule.
 
Under Rule 144, a person who is not one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned our common shares to be sold for at least six months, would be entitled to sell an unlimited number of our common shares, provided current public information about us is available. In addition, under Rule 144, a person who is not one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned our common shares to be sold for at least one year, would be entitled to sell an unlimited number of shares.
 
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, our affiliates who have beneficially owned our common shares for at least one year are entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
 
 
Ø
1.0% of our then-outstanding common shares; and
 
 
Ø
the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale is filed with the SEC.
 
 
6

 
 
Sales of restricted shares under Rule 144 by our affiliates are also subject to requirements regarding the manner of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about us. Rule 144 also provides that affiliates relying on Rule 144 to sell our common shares that are not restricted shares must nonetheless comply with the same restrictions applicable to restricted shares, other than the holding period requirement.
 
Shares sold outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S would not be subject to these restrictions.
 
We entered into a registration rights agreement in November 2010 with Firment Trading Limited and Kim Holdings S.A. pursuant to which we granted to them and their affiliates and certain of their transferees, the right, under certain circumstances and subject to certain restrictions to require us to register under the Securities Act our common shares held by them. When registered under any registration statement, our common shares held by them will be available for sale in the open market unless restrictions apply. In addition, these common shares would be available for sale into the public market after one year pursuant to Rule 144, Regulation S and other exemptions under the Securities Act, subject to the limitations contained therein, as described above.
 
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
 
The following table identifies the selling shareholders, and the number and percentage of common shares beneficially owned by the selling shareholders as of March 25, 2011, the number of common shares that the selling shareholders may offer or sell, the number and percentage of common shares beneficially owned by the selling shareholders assuming they sell all of the shares covered by this prospectus that may be sold by them and their relationship with us over the past three years, if any. We have prepared this table solely based upon information furnished to us by or on behalf of the selling shareholders in October and November 2010, on our review of the list of registered shareholders and on information regarding certain shareholders known to us since 2010, including through a review of publicly filed Schedule 13Gs. The selling shareholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the common shares after the date on which each selling shareholder provided the information set forth in the table below. As used in this prospectus, “selling shareholders” includes pledgees, assignees, successors-in-interest, donees, transferees or others who may later hold the selling shareholders’ common shares. Unless otherwise provided, the address of each of the selling shareholders is c/o Globus Shipmanagement Corp., 128 Vouliagmenis Avenue, 3rd Floor, 166 74 Glyfada, Athens, Greece. Unless otherwise noted, none of the following selling shareholders have, or have had in the past three years, a material relationship with us.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
The selling shareholders of our common shares and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their common shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. The offering price of our common shares by the selling shareholders using this prospectus to sell such shares may be at prevailing market prices or at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 
Ø
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 
Ø
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 
Ø
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 
Ø
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 
Ø
privately negotiated transactions;

 
Ø
settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus;

 
Ø
broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 
Ø
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise entered into after the date of this prospectus; or

 
Ø
any other method of sale permitted pursuant to applicable law; and

 
Ø
a combination of any such methods of sale.

The selling shareholders may also transfer the securities by gift or sell the common shares in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Please read “Shares Eligible for Future Sale.”

Agents or broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling shareholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved, however compensation to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions. If the broker-dealer is unable to sell securities acting as agent for a selling shareholder, it may purchase as principal any unsold securities at the stipulated price. Broker-dealers who acquire securities as principals may thereafter resell the securities from time to time in transactions on any stock exchange on which the securities are then listed, at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. Broker-dealers may use block transactions and sales to and through broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above.

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts, concessions, commissions or fees received by them and any profit on the resale of the securities sold by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

In connection with the sale of our common shares or interests therein, the selling shareholders after the date the registration statement in which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the SEC may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume.

The selling shareholders after the date the registration statement in which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the SEC may also sell our common shares short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus.
Each selling shareholder has informed us that it is not a broker-dealer registered pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, or an affiliate of a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act, and does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute these securities.

Any person participating in the distribution of common shares covered by this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the applicable SEC rules and regulations, including, among others, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of our common shares by that person.

We may suspend offers and sales of the common shares pursuant to the registration statement to which this prospectus relates in certain circumstances.

The offering by our selling shareholders pursuant to the registration statement to which this prospectus relates will continue until the earlier of November 24, 2011 and such time as all securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act.

We cannot assure you that the selling shareholders will sell all or any portion of the shares offered by this prospectus. In addition, we cannot assure you that a selling shareholder will not transfer shares by other means not described in this prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
As of November 24, 2010, our articles of incorporation provided that the authorized number of shares consisted of (1) 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.004 per share, (2) 100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, which we refer to as the Class B shares, and (3) 100,000,000 preferred shares, par value $0.001 per share, which we refer to as the preferred shares. As of March 25, 2011, 7,289,688 of our common shares are outstanding. No Class B shares or preferred shares have been issued, nor has any series of preferred shares been designated. We intend to issue in 2011 a special stock dividend of Class B shares to the holders of our common shares in a ratio of one Class B share for every number of common shares owned that we will determine in the future in connection with such dividend. We plan to issue this special stock dividend to protect the voting power of the current shareholders against future dilutions in the case of additional equity issuances. We also intend to issue one preferred share to Mr. Feidakis or his affiliate that will provide the holder with the ability to appoint any one person to be a director, who may also be the chairman of our board of directors, for so long as such holder and his or its affiliates also hold in the aggregate at least 30% of the voting power of our shares. Such preferred share will have no voting or dividend rights.

The following table shows our history of share capital for the last three years. None of the share numbers below prior to August 2010 reflect the 4:1 reverse split of our shares:

WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

We have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-1 under the Securities Act with respect to our common shares offered by this prospectus. This prospectus is a part of that registration statement. For the purposes of this section, the term registration statement means the original registration statement and any and all amendments including the schedules and exhibits to the original registration statement or any amendment. This prospectus does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement we filed. Each statement made in this prospectus concerning a document filed as an exhibit to the registration statement is qualified by reference to that exhibit for a complete statement of its provisions. The registration statement, including its exhibits and schedules, may be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the public reference room by calling 1 (800) SEC-0330, and you may obtain copies at prescribed rates from the Public Reference Section of the SEC at its principal office in Washington, D.C. 20549. The SEC maintains a website (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the SEC.

As a “foreign private issuer,” we will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements to shareholders. In addition, as a “foreign private issuer,” our officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act relating to short swing profit reporting and liability.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are a Marshall Islands corporation and our executive offices are located outside of the United States. Certain of our directors, executive officers and some of the experts named in this prospectus reside outside the United States. In addition, a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of our directors, executive officers and experts are located outside of the United States. As a result, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the United States upon us or any of these persons. You may also have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside the United States, judgments you may obtain in U.S. courts against us or these persons in any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws.

Furthermore, there is substantial doubt that the courts of the Marshall Islands would enter judgments in original actions brought in those courts predicated on U.S. federal or state securities laws.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

We incorporate information into this prospectus by reference, which means that we disclose important information to you by referring you to another document filed separately with the SEC. The information incorporated by reference is deemed to be part of this prospectus, except to the extent superseded by information contained herein. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be a part of this prospectus, and information that we file later with the SEC prior to the termination of this offering will also be considered to be part of this prospectus and will automatically update and supersede previously filed information, including information contained in this document.

We incorporate by reference the following document listed that has been previously filed with the SEC: our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, which we filed with the SEC on March 28, 2011.

We do not incorporate by reference documents or information furnished to, but not filed with, the SEC.

We will provide a copy of the document we incorporate by reference, at no cost, by written or oral request. To request a copy of this document, you should write or telephone us at: c/o Globus Shipmanagement Corp., 128 Vouliagmenis Avenue, 3rd Floor, 166 74 Glyfada, Athens, Greece, +30 210 960 8300.  In addition, each document incorporated by reference is readily accessible on our website at http://www.globusmaritime.gr/stock_information.html by clicking on “SEC Filings.” Unless specified above, information that is available on or accessed through our website does not constitute part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this prospectus.
