The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. The selling holders may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

This prospectus covers the initial issuance of shares of common stock by the Company upon exercise of 15,000,000 warrants by persons other than the original holders of such warrants, including the selling holders named in this prospectus. It also covers the resale by such selling holders of 8,044,176 of such warrants to purchase common stock and the shares of common stock issuable to them upon exercise of those warrants.

The warrants and warrant shares may be offered from time to time by the selling holders named in this prospectus. The selling holders may sell any of these securities at various times and in various types of transactions, including sales in the open market, sales in negotiated transactions and sales by a combination of these methods. We will not receive any proceeds from such sales by the selling holders.

Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "DAC." On May 24, 2011, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE was $6.24 per share.

Investing in our warrants and common stock involves risks that are described in "Risk Factors" and the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 20-F that is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth therein before investing in our common stock.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state or other securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

You should rely only on the information provided in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, as well as the information incorporated by reference. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with additional or different information. These securities are not being offered in any jurisdiction or state where the offer is not permitted. You should not assume that the information in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein is accurate as of any date other than the date of the applicable document.

Our disclosure and analysis in this prospectus, and the documents incorporated into this prospectus by reference, concerning our operations, cash flows, and financial position include forward-looking statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "potential," "may," "plan," "project," "predict," and "should" and similar expressions as they relate to us are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. We may also from time to time make forward-looking statements in our periodic reports that we file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), other information sent to our security holders, and other written materials. Such statements reflect our current views and assumptions and all forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. We caution readers of this prospectus, and the documents incorporated into this prospectus by reference, not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements.

Danaos Corporation is an international owner of containerships, chartering its vessels to many of the world's largest liner companies. Our fleet of containerships makes us one of the largest containership charter owners in the world, based on total TEU capacity. Our strategy is to charter our containerships under multi-year, fixed-rate period charters to a geographically diverse group of liner companies, including many of the largest such companies globally, as measured by TEU capacity.

We are a corporation domesticated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands on October 7, 2005, under the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act, after having been incorporated as a Liberian company in 1998 in connection with the consolidation of our assets under Danaos Holdings Limited. In connection with our domestication in the Marshall Islands, we changed our name from Danaos Holdings Limited to Danaos Corporation. Our company operates through a number of subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned by us and either directly or indirectly own the vessels in our fleet. Our manager, Danaos Shipping Company Limited, was founded in 1972 and since that time it has continuously provided seaborne transportation services.

In October 2006, we completed an initial public offering of our common stock in the United States and our common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Our address is c/o Danaos Shipping Co. Ltd., 14 Akti Kondyli, 185 45 Piraeus, Greece. Our telephone number at that address is +30 210 419 6480. Our website address is www.danaos.com. Information on, or accessible through, our website does not form part of this prospectus.

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the risks described below, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC and incorporated herein by reference, and in other documents we file from time to time with the SEC, before making an investment in our common stock.

Future sales of our common stock may result in a decrease in the market price of our common stock.

The market price of our common stock could decline due to the issuance and subsequent sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market after this offering or the perception that such sales could occur following the exercise of the warrants. This could make it more difficult to raise funds through future offerings of common stock or securities convertible into common stock.

As of March 31, 2011, we had 108,626,538 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. If holders of the warrants exercise the warrants, we will issue a number of additional shares of common stock based on the difference between the average of the closing sale prices per share (or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the closing bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average closing bid and the average closing ask prices) for the five most recent trading days prior to the day on which the warrants are exercised and notice is delivered to the warrant agent (the "Fair Market Value") and the exercise price. The shares issued upon exercise of the warrants and which are included in this registration statement may be resold in the public market following the effectiveness of this registration statement. In addition, certain of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be sold in the public markets at any time, subject to the volume and other limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

On May 24, 2011, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE was $6.24 per share. This is below the $7.00 exercise price of the warrants. Our common stock price must increase to more than the exercise price of the warrants for you to have an opportunity to exercise the warrants and achieve a positive return on your investment.

The warrants are exercisable only until January 31, 2019. In the event our common stock price does not increase to the level discussed above during the period when the warrants are exercisable, you will likely not be able to recover the value of your investment in the warrants. In addition, if our common stock price remains below the exercise price of the warrants, the warrants may not have any value and may expire without being exercised, in which case you will lose your entire investment. There can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock will exceed the exercise price during the warrant exercise period. In addition, upon exercise of the warrants, you will receive a number of shares of stock calculated based on the Fair Market Value of the common stock. Accordingly, the number of shares and the value of the common stock you receive upon exercise of the warrants will depend on the market price of our common stock on the five trading days prior to the day on which you choose to exercise those warrants.

There is no existing market for the warrants, and you cannot be certain that an active market will develop.

The warrants are a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We have no plans to list the warrants on a securities exchange, and an active trading market for the warrants may not develop.

Purchasers of warrants who exercise their warrants for shares of our common stock will incur immediate and future dilution.

Upon exercise of your warrants for shares of our common stock, you could experience immediate and substantial dilution if the exercise price of your warrants at the time were higher than the net

tangible book value per share of the outstanding common stock. In addition, you will experience dilution, subject to the anti-dilution protections contained in the warrants and described below under "Description of the Warrants—Anti-Dilution Adjustments," when we issue in any future offerings or under outstanding options and warrants and under our equity compensation plans.

The market price of the warrants will be directly affected by the market price of our common stock, which may be volatile.

To the extent a secondary market develops for the warrants, the market price of our common stock will significantly affect the market price of the warrants. This may result in greater volatility in the market price of the warrants than would be expected for warrants to purchase securities other than common stock. The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations due to factors described in our Form 20-F under the caption "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Common Stock—The market price of our common stock has fluctuated widely and the market price of our common stock may fluctuate in the future," and we cannot predict how shares of our common stock will trade in the future. Increased volatility could result in a decline in the market price of our common stock, and, in turn, in the market price of the warrants. The price of our common stock also could be affected by possible sales of common stock by investors who view the warrants as a more attractive means of equity participation in us and by hedging or arbitrage activity involving our common stock. The hedging or arbitrage of our common stock could, in turn, affect the market price of the warrants.

Holders of the warrants will have no rights as common stockholders until they acquire our common stock.

Until you acquire shares of our common stock upon exercise of your warrants, you will have no rights with respect to our common stock, including rights to dividend payments or payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, voting rights or the right to respond to tender offers. Upon exercise of your warrants, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date. See "Description of the Warrants—No Rights as a Stockholder; Rights upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up."

The exercise price of, and the number of shares of our common stock underlying, the warrants may not be adjusted for all dilutive events.

The exercise price of and the number of shares of our common stock underlying the warrants are subject to adjustment for certain events, including, but not limited to, the issuance of stock dividends on our common stock, the issuance of certain rights or warrants, subdivisions, combinations, distributions of capital stock, indebtedness or assets, certain cash dividends and certain issuer tender or exchange offers as described below under "Description of Warrants—Anti-Dilution Adjustments." The exercise price will not be adjusted, however, for other events, such as a third-party tender or exchange offer, a merger or reorganization in which our common stock is acquired for cash or an issuance of common stock for cash, that may adversely affect the market price of the warrants or our common stock. Other events that adversely affect the value of the warrants may occur that do not result in an adjustment to such exercise price.

The warrant agreement is not an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, and the obligations of the warrant agent are limited.

The warrant agreement, which governs the warrants, is not an indenture qualified under the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "TIA"), and the warrant agent is not a trustee qualified under the TIA. Accordingly, warrantholders will not have the benefits or the protections of the TIA. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the warrant agent will have only limited obligations to the warrantholders. Accordingly, in some circumstances, it may be difficult for warrantholders, acting individually or collectively, to take actions to enforce their rights under the warrants or the warrant agreement.

We have not received, nor will we receive, any cash proceeds from the issuance of the warrants or the common stock issuable upon the cashless exercise of the warrants. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of these securities by the selling holders.

Our capitalization is set forth in our report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on May 10, 2011, and updates thereto will be set forth in reports on Form 6-K subsequently furnished to the SEC and specifically incorporated herein by reference, other periodic filings we make with the SEC or in a prospectus supplement to this prospectus.

The following is a summary of certain provisions of our warrants. The following summary of the terms of the warrants does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the terms and provisions set forth in the Warrant Agreement governing the warrants, which is attached as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. As used in this section, the terms the "Company," "us," "we" or "our" refer to Danaos Corporation and not to any of its subsidiaries.

The warrants covered by this registration statement are a portion of the 15,000,000 warrants we issued in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to the 14 banks participating in the comprehensive financing plan contemplated by the definitive agreement we entered into on January 14, 2011 and which became effective on March 4, 2011 (the "Bank Agreement"), in respect of certain of our existing financing arrangements and for new credit facilities from certain of our current lenders aggregating $424.75 million, as well as a $190 million lending arrangement from a vendor. For more information regarding the comprehensive financing plan and the Bank Agreement, refer to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010, incorporated by reference herein. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase, solely on a cashless exercise basis, one share of our common stock, subject to adjustment as described below under "Anti-Dilution Adjustments."

The exercise price applicable to each warrant is $7.00 per share of common stock for which the warrant may be exercised. The warrants may be exercised in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time, at or prior to 5:00 p.m. on January 31, 2019, by surrender to the warrant agent of the warrant and a completed notice of exercise attached to the warrant. The exercise price will be paid by the withholding by us of a number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants equal to the value of the aggregate exercise price of the warrants so exercised, determined by reference to the average of the closing sale prices per share (or, if no closing sale price is reported , the average of the closing bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average closing bid and the average closing ask prices) for the five most recent trading days preceding the day on which the warrants are exercised and notice is delivered to the warrant agent (the "Fair Market Value"). The warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis only. In no event shall a warrantholder be entitled to elect to receive a net cash settlement upon exercise of the warrants.

The exercise price for the warrants is also subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events described below under "Anti-Dilution Adjustments."

Upon exercise of warrants, we will promptly issue to the warrantholder (or its designee) the number of shares of common stock that are issuable upon exercise. We will not issue fractional shares of our common stock. Instead, the exercising warrantholder will be entitled to a cash payment based on the current market price of our common stock.

We will pay all stamp duties and other taxes, other than income taxes, and all expenses and other related charges in respect of the preparation, issue or delivery of common stock on exercise of the warrants. We will not, however, pay any tax or other charges in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of common stock or cash to someone other than the holder of the warrant certificate surrendered upon exercise of a warrant. Neither we nor the warrant agent will be required to deliver any shares of common stock or pay any cash until any such tax or charge has been paid or an amount sufficient to pay such tax or charge has been delivered to the warrant agent or us and we are satisfied that there are no other taxes or charges that may become due and which have not been paid.

No Rights as a Stockholder; Rights upon Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up

Holders of the warrants will have no right to vote on matters submitted to our stockholders and will have no right to receive dividends, until, and then only to the extent, the warrants have been exercised.

Prior to the expiration of the warrants, we will give notice to the warrant agent and the warrantholders of any proposal to voluntarily or involuntarily dissolve, liquidate or wind up of the affairs of the Company no later than ten business days prior to the date such transaction is expected to become effective or, if earlier, the record date for such transaction. The notice will also specify a date as of which the holders of record of the common stock will be entitled to exchange their shares for monies, securities or other property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be. Immediately prior to the close of business on the applicable effective date or record date, all unexercised warrants will be automatically exercised for warrant shares, thereby entitling the holders of such warrant shares, if any, to exchange their warrant shares for monies, securities or other property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, as the case may be. Unexercised warrants and any warrant certificates evidencing those warrants will expire as of the applicable effective date or record date.

In the event a bankruptcy or reorganization is commenced by or against us, a bankruptcy court may hold that unexercised warrants are executory contracts which may be subject to rejection by us with approval of the bankruptcy court, and the holders of the warrants may, even if sufficient funds are available, receive nothing or a lesser amount than that to which they would otherwise be entitled as a result of any such bankruptcy case if they had exercised their warrants prior to the commencement of any such case.

In the event of any merger, consolidation or other combination of the Company with another entity, provision must be made for warrantholders to receive, upon the exercise of warrants and in lieu of shares of common stock, such shares of stock, securities, cash, rights or assets as would be issued or paid in respect of shares of our common stock upon such merger, consolidation or other combination.

The number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant will be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events including, without limitation, the payment of a dividend on, or the making of any distribution in respect of, capital stock of the Company, payment of which is made in:

An adjustment will also be made in the event of a combination, subdivision or reclassification of the common stock. Adjustments will be made whenever and as often as any specified event requires an adjustment to occur, provided that no adjustment will be required until such time as the adjustment would be at least one percent (1%). No adjustments will be made for issuances under the Company's equity compensation plan, as amended or supplemented, which provides for issuances of up to six percent (6%) of the Company's outstanding common stock.

From time to time, we, without the consent of the holders of the warrants, may amend or supplement the warrant for certain purposes, including (i) curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies, (ii) to add covenants or agreements of the Company, (iii) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the registration of the warrants or shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof, (iv) in relation to the requirements of any securities exchange on which the warrants or shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof are or are to be listed or (v) making any change that does not adversely affect the rights or interests of the holders in any material respect. The consent of each holder of the warrants affected will be required for any amendment pursuant to which the exercise price would be increased or the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants would be decreased (other than pursuant to adjustments provided in the warrant). Any other amendment or supplement to the warrant that has a material adverse effect on the interests of the holders of the warrants will require the written consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding warrants.

We have authorized and reserved for issuance and will at all times reserve and keep available such number of shares of our common stock as will be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding warrants. Such shares of our common stock, when paid for and issued, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests with respect to the issuance thereof.

Under our articles of incorporation, our authorized capital stock consists of 750,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 100,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which 1,000,000 shares have been designated Series A Participating Preferred Stock in connection with our adoption of a stockholder rights plan as described below. All of our shares of stock are in registered form. As of March 31, 2011, we had 108,626,538 common shares issued and outstanding. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of shares of common stock are subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of preferred stock which we may issue in the future.

Each share of our common stock includes a right that entitles the holder to purchase from us a unit consisting of one-thousandth of a share of our Series A participating preferred stock at a purchase price of $25.00 per unit, subject to specified adjustments. The rights are issued pursuant to a rights agreement between us and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent. Until a right is exercised, the holder of a right will have no rights to vote or receive dividends or any other stockholder rights. The material terms and conditions of the rights agreement and the rights are summarized in "Item 10. Additional Information—Share Capital" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference herein and, for a complete description of the rights, we encourage you to read the rights agreement, which is an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

For a more complete summary of our capital stock and the provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, including certain anti-takeover provisions, please read "Item 10. Additional Information" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference herein.

This prospectus covers the resale by the selling holders named herein, or their pledgees, donees or transferees, of 8,044,176 warrants to purchase common stock and the shares of common stock issuable to such selling holders upon exercise of the warrants, which are exercisable on a cashless exercise basis only. The warrants covered by this registration statement are a portion of the 15,000,000 warrants we issued in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to the 14 banks participating in the comprehensive financing plan contemplated by the Bank Agreement. We entered into a registration rights agreements in connection with the restructuring, pursuant to which we are registering the warrants and the shares of common stock described below.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the selling holders, including:

Because the warrants are exercisable on a cashless exercise basis only, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants cannot be determined until the warrants are exercised. Accordingly, for purposes of this section, we have assumed that the warrants are exercisable on a cash exercise basis and that one share of common stock will be issued for each warrant that is exercised. The actual number of shares of common stock that we will be required to deliver in connection with exercise of the warrants will equal one share per warrant exercised minus a number of shares of common stock whose aggregate Fair Market Value is equal to the aggregate exercise price of the warrants being exercised.

The warrants and common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants offered by this prospectus may be offered from time to time by the selling holders named below. We have prepared the table and the related notes based on information supplied to us by the selling holders. We have not sought to verify such information. Additionally, some or all of the selling holders may have sold or transferred some or all of the securities listed below in exempt or non-exempt transactions since the date on which the information was provided to us. Other information about the selling holders may change over time, as it is possible that the selling holders may acquire or dispose of warrants or shares of common stock from time to time after the date of this prospectus. Changes in such information will be set forth in prospectus supplements to the extent required.

Because the selling holders may offer all or some portion of the warrants or the common stock for which the warrants are exercisable, we cannot estimate the amount of warrants or common stock that may be held by the selling holder upon the completion of any sales they may make. Based on the information provided by the selling holder and our knowledge, the selling holders have held no position or office or had any other material relationship with us or any of our affiliates or predecessors during the past three years. To our knowledge, none of the selling holders owns any shares of common stock as of the date of this prospectus.

For information on the procedure for sales by selling holders, please read the disclosure set forth under the heading "Plan of Distribution."

Certain tax considerations relating to an investment in the warrants and our common stock are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010 and filed with the SEC on April 8, 2011, which report is incorporated by reference herein.

The selling holders or their pledgees, donees or transferees may sell the securities being offered hereby from time to time directly to purchasers, through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, at fixed prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, or at privately negotiated prices. If the securities are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, then the selling holders who sell those securities will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions. Such sales may be effected in transactions (which may involve crosses and block transactions):

The selling holders may also sell their securities under Rule 144 or Regulation S under the Securities Act, in each case if available, rather than under this prospectus. There can be no assurances that any selling holder will sell any or all of the securities registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

The selling holders may directly make offers to sell the securities to, or solicit offers to purchase the securities from, purchasers from time to time. If required, the prospectus supplement relating to any such offering by the selling holders will set forth the terms of such offering.

From time to time, the selling holders may sell the securities included in this prospectus to one or more dealers acting as principals. If required, the prospectus supplement related to any such offering will name such dealers, and will include information about any compensation paid to the dealers, in such offering. The dealers, which may be deemed to be "underwriters" as that term is defined in the Securities Act, may then resell the securities to purchasers.

This prospectus also covers the issuance by the Company of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants by persons other than the original holders of the warrants, including the selling holders named in this prospectus.

The selling holders or their pledgees, donees or transferees may sell some or all of the securities in transactions involving broker-dealers, which may act solely as agent and/or may acquire securities as principal. Broker-dealers participating in such transactions as agent may receive commissions from the selling holders (and, purchaser or purchasers); such commissions may be at negotiated rates where permissible. Participating broker-dealers may agree with the selling holders to sell a specified number of securities at a stipulated price per common unit and, to the extent such broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as an agent for the selling holders, to purchase as principal any unsold securities at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer's commitment to the selling holders. In addition or alternatively, securities may be sold by the selling holders, and/or by or through other broker-dealers in special offerings, exchange distributions or secondary distributions pursuant to and in compliance with the governing rules of any national securities exchange or quotation system, including the NYSE, and

in connection therewith commissions in excess of the customary commission prescribed by such governing rules may be paid to participating broker-dealers or, in the case of certain secondary distributions, a discount or concession from the offering price may be allowed to participating broker-dealers in excess of the customary commission. Broker-dealers who acquire securities as principal may thereafter resell the securities from time to time in transactions (which may involve crosses and block transactions and which may involve sales to or through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described in the preceding two sentences) on any national securities exchange or quotation system, including the NYSE, in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with the resales may pay to or receive commissions from the purchaser of the securities.

In connection with offerings pursuant to this prospectus and in compliance with applicable law, underwriters, brokers or dealers, if any, may engage in transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at levels above those which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Specifically, underwriters, brokers or dealers, if any, may over-allot in connection with offerings, creating a short position in the securities for their own accounts. For the purpose of covering a syndicate short position or stabilizing the price of the securities, the underwriters, brokers or dealers, if any, may place bids for the securities or effect purchases of the securities in the open market. Finally, the underwriters, if any, may impose a penalty whereby selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other brokers or dealers for distribution the securities in offerings may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market, and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

To the extent required, the names of the specific managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, as well as other important information, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement. In that event, the discounts and commissions the selling holders will allow or pay to the underwriters, if any, and the discounts and commissions the underwriters may allow or pay to dealers or agents, if any, will be set forth in, or may be calculated from, the prospectus supplements. Any underwriters, brokers, dealers and agents who participate in any sale of the securities may also engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us or out affiliates in the ordinary course of their businesses.

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

The selling holders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements or understandings with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their warrants or the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise thereof. If we are notified by any selling holder that any material agreement or understanding has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of warrants or the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise thereof, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus. If the selling holders use this prospectus for any sale of the warrants or the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise thereof, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

The selling holders that participate in the distribution of the securities offered hereby may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act. To the extent a selling stockholder may be deemed to be an underwriter, that selling stockholder may be subject to certain statutory liabilities under the Securities Act, including but not limited to Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act.

The warrants were issued in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Pursuant to the comprehensive financing plan contemplated by the Bank Agreement, involving the restructuring of a number of our credit facilities and swap arrangements, we entered into

a registration rights agreement pursuant to which we have agreed to indemnify such selling holders against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act. We have agreed to pay the expenses of the registration of the securities being registered under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, including, but not limited to, all registration and filing fees, and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants. The selling holders will pay any underwriting discounts, commissions and transfer taxes applicable to the securities sold by them through this prospectus.

Pursuant to a requirement by the Financial Industry Regulation Authority, or FINRA, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker/dealer may not be greater than eight percent (8%) of the gross proceeds received for the sale of any securities being registered pursuant to SEC Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The validity of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, Marshall Islands tax considerations and Liberian tax considerations will be passed upon for us by Watson, Farley & Williams (New York) LLP. United States legal matters, including the validity of the warrants and United States tax considerations, will be passed upon for us by Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, New York, New York.

The consolidated financial statements and management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (which is included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting) incorporated in this Prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A., an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

We have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-3 under the Securities Act with respect to the securities offered hereby. 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. For further information regarding us and the securities offered in this prospectus, you may desire to review the full registration statement, including the exhibits. 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, NE, Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the public reference room by calling 1-202-551-8909, 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.

We furnish holders of common stock with annual reports containing audited financial statements and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm, and intend to make available quarterly reports containing selected unaudited financial data for the first three quarters of each fiscal year. The audited financial statements will be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those reports will include a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section for the relevant periods. As a "foreign private issuer," we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements to stockholders, but will be required to furnish those proxy statements to stockholders under New York Stock Exchange rules. Those proxy statements are not expected to conform to Schedule 14A of the proxy rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. In addition, as a "foreign private issuer," we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act relating to short-swing profit reporting and liability.

The SEC allows us to "incorporate by reference" the information we file with the SEC. This means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to another document filed separately with the SEC. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus. Any information that we file later with the SEC and that is deemed incorporated by reference will automatically update and supersede the information in this prospectus. In all such cases, you should rely on the later information over information included in this prospectus.

We will also incorporate by reference any future filings made with the SEC under the Exchange Act until we terminate the offering contemplated by any prospectus supplement. In addition, we will incorporate by reference certain future materials furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K, but only to the extent specifically indicated in those submissions or in a future prospectus supplement.

We are a Marshall Islands corporation and our executive offices are located outside of the United States. A majority of our directors and officers and some of the experts in this prospectus reside outside the United States. In addition, a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of our directors, 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 of 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.

The following are the expenses estimated to be incurred by us in connection with registering the securities that may be sold by the selling holders under the prospectus forming a part of this registration statement.

The Registrant is a Marshall Islands corporation. Section 60 of the Business Corporations Act of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the "BCA") provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of no contest, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

A Marshall Islands corporation also has the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

To the extent that a director or officer of a Marshall Islands corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in the preceding paragraph, or in the defense of a claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the board of directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized under Section 60 of the BCA.

Section 60 of the BCA also permits a Marshall Islands corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such capacity whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of Section 60 of the BCA. In this regard, the Registrant has entered into employment agreements with its chief executive officer, chief operating officer and chief financial officer which provide that the Registrant will maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance policies during the term of such executive's employment and for five years thereafter at a level, and on terms and conditions, no less favorable than the coverage the Registrant provides other similarly-situated executives so long as such coverage is available from the carrier and does not increase the cost of such policy by more than 10% per annum.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Section 60 of the BCA are not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification and advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. In this regard, the Registrant's Bylaws provide that such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by former directors and officers may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Registrant deems appropriate, and the board of directors may authorize the Registrant's legal counsel to represent a present or former director or officer in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the Registrant is a party to such action, suit or proceeding. The Registrant's Bylaws further provide for indemnification of directors and officers on the basis described above as being permitted by Section 60 of the BCA and provide, to the extent authorized from time to time by the board of directors of the Registrant, rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the corporation similar to those conferred to directors and officers of Registrant.

The Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant provide that no director shall have personal liability to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, but the liability of a director is not limited or eliminated (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not undertaken in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or (iii) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial Statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Rule 3-19 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser:

That, for the purpose of determining liability of a registrant under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, each undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of an undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of Danaos Corporation's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of each registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, each registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of a registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, that registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the undersigned Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form F-3 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Piraeus, Greece, on May 25, 2011.

Each person whose signature appears below hereby constitutes and appoints each of Dr. John Coustas, Iraklis Prokopakis and Dimitri J. Andritsoyiannis, acting alone, his true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution and resubstitution for him and in his name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to sign any or all amendments or supplements to this Registration Statement, whether pre-effective or post-effective and any and all additional registration statements pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to file the same with all exhibits thereto and other documents in connection therewith, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, granting unto said attorney-in-fact and agent full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing necessary or appropriate to be done with respect to this Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements hereto or any and all additional registration statements pursuant to Rule 462(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in the premises, as fully to all intents and purposes as he might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that said attorney-in-fact and agent, or his substitute or substitutes, may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue thereof.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, this Registration Statement has been signed below by the following persons in the capacities indicated on May 25, 2011.
