Explanatory Note

This Amended Form 8-A is being filed in connection with the listing of the common shares, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), of Castor Maritime Inc., a company organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands (the “Company”), on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
No new securities are being registered pursuant to this Amendment, which is being filed solely to update the description of the Company's Common Shares to reflect a reverse stock split of the Company's Common Shares at a ratio of one-for-ten.
Item 1.  Description of Registrants Securities to be Registered.

A reverse stock split (the "Reverse Stock Split") of the Company's Common Shares became effective on May 28, 2021 (the "Effective Date").  Pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, every 10 of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares were combined into one issued and outstanding Common Share, without any change to the par value of $0.001 per share or any shareholder’s ownership percentage of the Company’s Common Shares.  After the Reverse Stock Split, the Company's Common Shares have the same proportional voting rights and will be identical in all other respects to the Common Shares prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split.  
The foregoing summary of the Reverse Stock Split is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, which was filed with the Registry of the Marshall Islands on May 27, 2021, and is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
