Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On July 31, 2008, Sea Containers Ltd. and its affiliated debtors (“SCL” or the “Company”) filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) a Joint Plan Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan”) and a related Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement”). Copies of the Plan and Disclosure Statement as filed with the Bankruptcy Court are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively. It should be noted that the Plan does not provide a recovery for existing holders of the Company’s common stock, which common stock will remain outstanding until the dissolution of Reorganized SCL under Bermuda law. Copies of the Plan and Disclosure Statement are also publicly available and may be accessed free of charge at the Debtors’ private website at http://www.bmcgroup.com/scl. The information set forth on the foregoing website shall not be deemed to be part of or incorporated by reference into this Form 8-K.

The Company recommends that its stakeholders refer to the limitations and qualifications included in the Plan and Disclosure Statement, as applicable, with respect to the information contained therein. Information contained in the Plan and Disclosure Statement is subject to change, whether as a result of amendments to the Plan, actions of third parties, or otherwise.

Bankruptcy law does not permit solicitation of acceptances of the Plan until the Bankruptcy Court approves the Disclosure Statement. Accordingly, this announcement is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, a solicitation for a vote on the Plan. The Plan will become effective only if it receives the requisite stakeholder approval and is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference

The Plan and Disclosure Statement shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Registration statements or other documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) shall not incorporate the Schedules and Statements or any other information set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing. This Current Report on Form 8-K will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in the report that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the documents incorporated by reference into this Current Report, as well as other statements made by SCL may contain forward-looking statements within the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that reflect, when made, the Company’s current views with respect to current events and financial performance. Such forward-looking statements are and will be, as the case may be, subject to many risks, uncertainties and factors relating to the Company’s operations and business environment, which may cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from any future results, express or implied, by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern; (ii) the ability of the Company to operate subject to the terms of the debtor in possession financing; (iii) the Company’s ability to obtain court approval with respect to motions in the proceedings under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) prosecuted by it from time to time; (iv) the ability of the Company to develop, prosecute, confirm, and consummate one or more plans of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases; (v) risks associated with third parties proposing and confirming one or more plans of reorganization; (vi) risks associated with third parties seeking and obtaining the appointment of a chapter 11 trustee or to convert the cases to chapter 7 cases; (vii) the Company’s ability to maintain contracts and leases that are critical to its operations; (viii) the potential adverse impact of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Company’s liquidity or results of operations; (ix) the ability of the Company to execute its business plans and strategy; (x) the ability of the Company to attract, motivate and/or retain key executives and associates; and (xi) increased competition in the container leasing industry. SCL undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Similarly, these and other factors, including the terms of any plan of reorganization ultimately confirmed, can affect the value of the Company’s various prepetition liabilities, common stock and/or other equity securities. Additionally, no assurance can be given as to what values, if any, will be ascribed in the bankruptcy proceedings to each of these constituencies. A plan or plans of reorganization could result in holders of SCL’s common stock or other equity interests and claims relating to prepetition liabilities receiving no distribution on account of their interest and cancellation of their interests and their claims. Under certain conditions specified in the Bankruptcy Code, a plan of reorganization may be confirmed notwithstanding its rejection by an impaired class of creditors or equity holders and notwithstanding the fact that certain creditors or equity holders do not receive or retain property on account of their claims or equity interests under the plan. In light of the foregoing, the Company considers the value of the common stock and claims to be highly speculative and cautions equity holders that the stock and creditors that the claims may ultimately be determined to have no value. Accordingly, the Company urges that appropriate caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in SCL’s common stock or other equity interest or any claims relating to prepetition liabilities.
