JULY 2, 2013 — Athens headquartered bulker operator Excel Maritime Carriers Ltd. has now gone ahead with the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing that it said it planned in a form 6K filed with the SEC, June 11 (see earlier story).

That filing caused the New York Stock Exchange to tell the company that it will be delisted at the opening of business July 12. Trading in the company's stock was suspended June 11.

A website has been set up by Excel Maritime's Claims Agent containing the motions filed with the Court, other Court documents and other general information at www.donlinrecano.com/exm.
