Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: OceanPal Inc. Registration Statement on Form F-1 Filed July 3, 2025 File No. 333-288153 Dear Mr. Levenberg: Reference is made to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “F-1”) of OceanPal Inc. (the “Company”) that was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 18, 2025, as amended on July 3, 2025. By letter dated July 10, 2025 (the “Comment Letter”), the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) provided the Company with its comments to the F-1. On behalf of the Company, we respond to the Staff’s comments contained in the Comment Letter as set forth below. The following numbered paragraphs correspond to the numbered comments in the Comment Letter. Any capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Amendment No.2 to the F-1. Cover Page 1. Please revise to update the assumed public offering price per Unit. In that regard, we note that the assumed price of $1.61 per Unit is based upon the closing price of your Common Shares on June 13, 2025. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment the Company has updated the assumed public offering price to reflect the closing price of its Common Shares on July 10, 2025. 2. We note your disclosure regarding the floor price of "50% of the Nasdaq Official Closing Price on the date preceding execution of the Underwriting Agreement" as it relates to the First Reset and the floor price of "30% of the Nasdaq Official Closing Price on the date preceding execution of the Underwriting Agreement" as it relates to the Second Reset. We also note the example you have provided regarding the maximum number of shares issuable under the Warrants on the First Reset Date, the Second Reset Date and pursuant to the zero cash exercise option, assuming an offering price of $1.61 per Unit. With respect to the calculations used in such example, please disclose the price you have assumed to be "the Nasdaq Official Closing Price on the date preceding execution of the Underwriting Agreement" and disclose, if true, that the assumed floor prices used in the example on the cover page may not be indicative of the final floor prices. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has updated its disclosure to clarify that the Nasdaq Official Closing Price on the date preceding execution of the Underwriting Agreement will be the closing price and that the assumed floor prices used in the example on the cover page may not be indicative of the final floor prices. 3. We note your disclosure on your prospectus cover page that if the over-allotment option for Common Shares is exercised in full, the total offering price to the public will be approximately $17.25 million, based upon the assumed public offering price. However, we also note that your fee table provided in Exhibit 107 indicates a maximum aggregate offering price of $15 million calculated under Rule 457(o), and note that footnote 7 to such table suggests that such amount includes the securities that may be sold pursuant to the over-allotment option. Please advise. In addition, please ensure that the legality opinion covers securities that may be issued pursuant to the over-allotment option. In that regard, we note that the legality opinion filed as Exhibit 5.1 refers only to the offering of up to $15 million of the company's units. Response : In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has updated its filing fee table and the legality opinion filed as Exhibit 5.1 to reflect the over-allotment option. If you have any questions or comments concerning the enclosed, please feel free to contact the undersigned at (212) 574-1265 (horton@sewkis.com), or Jenny Elberg at (212) 574-1657 (elberg@sewkis.com).

2.We note your response to our prior comment 12 that the distribution of the OceanPal
shares to the shareholders of the Parent will not constitute a “sale” within the meaning of
Section 2(a)(3) of the Securities Act because the distribution will meet the conditions in
Staff Legal Bulletin No. 4. We also note your response that the spin-off will not
fundamentally alter the nature of the investment of the Parent’s shareholders, when
comparing their (1) pre-spin-off economic ownership of and voting power as to the Parent
and (2) combined post-spin-off economic ownership of and voting power as to the Parent
and the Company, such that the Parent’s shareholders will be providing “value” for the
OceanPal shares. Please provide additional analysis as to whether the transactions in
connection with the distribution would fundamentally alter the nature of the Diana
Shipping shareholders’ investment such that the shareholders are providing value for the
OceanPal shares. In that regard, please provide an analysis of the shareholders’ economic
and voting interests in Diana Shipping prior to the transactions compared to their
economic and voting interests in Diana Shipping and OceanPal after the transactions.
Please ensure to include an analysis with respect to the rights of holders of each class of
Diana Shipping’s outstanding capital stock, and to also describe the extent to which the
features of the OceanPal Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Convertible Preferred
Shares will differ from the features of the Diana Shipping Series B Preferred Shares and
Series C Preferred Shares. In addition, please tell us whether the holders of Diana
Shipping’s preferred stock will receive OceanPal common shares in the distribution, and
whether they will receive OceanPal preferred shares in connection with the distribution.
