Dear Sirs,

1.We have acted as legal advisers in Singapore to Danaos Corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (the “Registration Statement”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Registration Statement relates to the proposed offering and sale of (i) up to $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s debt securities (the “Debt Securities”), warrants, the Company’s common stock, preferred stock, purchase contracts and units, and (ii) up to 44,318,500 shares of the Company’s common stock that may be sold by or on behalf of certain selling stockholders of the Company or their donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest. The Debt Securities may be guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries, including Lato Shipping (Private) Ltd. (the “Singapore Company”).

2.This opinion is limited to Singapore law of general application at the date of this opinion, as currently applied by the courts of Singapore, and is given on the basis that it will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Singapore. We have made no investigation of, and do not express or imply any views on, the laws of any country other than Singapore.

3.6such other documents and records as we have deemed necessary to examine in order that we may render this opinion.

In this opinion, the documents referred to in paragraphs 3.2 and 3.3 above are hereinafter called the “Documents”.

not fail to disclose any material information which had been delivered for filing but did not appear on the public file at the time of the searches;

6.8that the information disclosed by the electronic Defendant’s Composite and Insolvency searches made on 1 November 2007against the Singapore Company on the databases of the Supreme Court of Singapore is true and complete and that such searches did not fail to disclose any material information which had been delivered for filing but was not disclosed at the time of the searches;

6.9that there are no provisions of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Singapore which would be contravened by the execution or delivery by the Singapore Company of the Guarantees and each Document and that, in so far as any obligation expressed to be incurred under each such Guarantee or Document is to be performed in or is otherwise subject to the laws of any jurisdiction other than Singapore, its performance of such obligation will not be illegal and such obligation will be valid and binding on and enforceable against the relevant party by virtue of the laws of that jurisdiction;

6.10that all authorisations, consents, approvals and orders required from any governmental or other authorities outside Singapore and all other requirements outside Singapore for the legality, validity and enforceability of each Guarantee or Document have been duly obtained or fulfilled and are and will remain in full force and effect and that any conditions to which they are subject have been satisfied;

6.14that no party to any of the Registration Statement and the Documents is, or will be, engaging in misleading or unconscionable conduct or seeking to conduct any relevant transaction or associated activity in a manner or for a purpose not evident on the face of the Registration Statement and the Documents which might render any of the Registration Statement and the Documents or any relevant transaction or associated activity illegal, void or voidable;

3

6.15that in exercising the power of the Singapore Company to enter into each Guarantee or Document, undertake and perform the obligations expressed to be undertaken and performed by it under each Guarantee or Document, its Directors are acting in good faith and in furtherance of its substantive objects and for its legitimate purpose and that the entry into of each Guarantee or Document may reasonably be considered to have been in the interests, and for the commercial benefit, of the Singapore Company; and

6.16the correctness of all facts stated in the Registration Statement and each of the Documents (other than those stated below).

7.Based on the foregoing and subject as mentioned herein, we are of the opinion that:

7.1As at the date of this opinion, the Singapore Company is a company incorporated and existing in Singapore under the Companies Act, Chapter 50 of Singapore. The electronic Defendant’s Composite and Insolvency searches made on 1 November 2007 on the databases of the Supreme Court of Singapore and the searches made on 1 November 2007 at the ACRArevealed no application for or order or resolution for the winding-up of the Singapore Company and no notice of appointment of a receiver or judicial manager for the Singapore Company. Notice of a winding-up order made or resolution passed or a receiver or judicial manager appointed may not be filed at the ACRA immediately.

7.2The Singapore Company has the necessary corporate power under its Memorandum and Articles of Association to enable it to execute and perform its obligations under the Guarantees and each of the Documents and has taken all necessary corporate action required under the laws of Singapore to authorise its execution of, and the performance by it of its obligations under, the Guarantees and each of the Documents.

7.3The execution, delivery and performance by the Singapore Company of the Guarantees and each of the Documents to, does not violate its Memorandum and Articles of Association nor any existing provision of any Singapore law applicable to Singapore companies generally.

7.4The Guarantees when issued, will constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Singapore Company entitled to the benefit of the applicable Document under the laws of Singapore.

8.The term “enforceable” as used above means that the obligations assumed or to be assumed by the Singapore Company under each of the Documents are of a type which the Singapore courts enforce. It does not mean that those obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms. In particular:

8.1enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation and other laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights of creditors;

8.2enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity - for example, equitable remedies may not be available where damages are considered to be an adequate remedy;

4

8.3claims may become barred under the Limitation Act, Chapter 163 of Singapore or may be or become subject to defences of set-off or counterclaim; and

8.4where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside Singapore, they may not be enforceable in Singapore to the extent that performance would be illegal or contrary to public policy under the laws of that jurisdiction.

9.In addition, this opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

9.1provisions in any of the Guarantees and the Documents providing for the payment of additional or an increased rate of interest may not be enforceable if any such provisions amount to a penalty under Singapore law;

9.2any provision in any of the Guarantees and the Documents which involves an indemnity for the costs of litigation is subject to the discretion of the Singapore court to decide whether and to what extent a party to the litigation should be awarded the costs incurred by it in connection with the litigation;

9.3where a party is to perform an obligation in a jurisdiction other than Singapore, a Singapore court will not enforce that obligation to the extent that its performance would be illegal by the laws of that jurisdiction;

9.4any term of an agreement may be amended orally by all the parties notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in any of the Guarantees and the Documents;

9.5any provision in any of the Guarantees and the Documents providing for the severance of any provision which is illegal, invalid or unenforceable may not be effective - it depends on the nature of the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability in question;

9.6under any of the Guarantees and the Documents, where any person is vested with discretion or may determine a matter in its opinion, Singapore law may require that such discretion is exercised reasonably or that such opinion is based on reasonable grounds;

9.7we give no opinion on tax matters and in particular give no opinion on the tax consequences of any transaction contemplated by any of the Guarantees and the Documents or any related document; and

9.8duties to enter into negotiations and further agreements (including but not limited to those in relation to the Guarantees and the Documents and any other documents which are currently contemplated or which have been entered into but which are incomplete) in due course may not be effectively enforceable.

This opinion is strictly limited to the matters stated herein and is not to be read as extending by implication to any other matter or document in connection with the Guarantees and the Documents, any other document mentioned in the Registration Statement or the Documents or any other document signed in connection therewith.

5

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are acting within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules or regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Yours faithfully
