Item 1 – Information Contained in this Form 6-K Report

In accordance with the existing Management Agreements (as defined below), Schedule A below sets forth the Adjusted Technical Services Fees (as such term is defined in each respective Management Agreement) for the vessels listed in such schedule. The Adjusted Technical Services Fees listed in Schedule A are fixed from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2011 (the “Period”).

For purposes of this current report on Form 6-K, the term Management Agreements refers collectively to (i) the amended and restated management agreement dated May 4, 2007 in respect of the vessels we acquired at the time of our initial public offering and our four 4800 TEU vessels, (ii) the management agreement dated as of May 18, 2007 for eight of our 2500 TEU vessels and two of our 3500 TEU vessels, (iii) the management agreement dated as of May 18, 2007 for four of our 5100 TEU vessels, (iv) the management agreement dated as of September 28, 2007 for eight of our 8500 TEU vessels, four of our 4250 TEU vessels and two of our 2500 TEU vessels, (v) the management agreement dated as of January 28, 2008 for two of our 13100 TEU vessels with Hull Nos. S452 and 2177, (vi) the management agreement dated as of March 31, 2008 for two of our 13100 TEU vessels with Hull Nos. S453 and 2178, and (vii) the management agreement dated as of March 31, 2008 for two of our 13100 TEU vessels with Hull Nos. S454 and 2179, each as amended and each by and among Seaspan Corporation, Seaspan Management Services Limited, Seaspan Advisory Services Limited, Seaspan Ship Management Ltd. and Seaspan Crew Management Ltd.

Schedule B below sets forth the initial technical services fees for the vessels listed therein for the Period. These vessels are not yet subject to existing management agreements but we expect they will be managed on terms and conditions similar to the vessels in Schedule A under one or more management agreements. The fees referred to in Schedule A and B below were increased by approximately 23.5% on a weighted average basis from the previously set technical services fees for the vessels.
