Exhibit 4.5

      

      

      RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AGREEMENT

       

      This Right of First Refusal Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of [________], 2021 between Diana Shipping Inc., a Marshall Islands
        company (the “Grantor”), and OceanPal Inc., a Marshall Islands company (the “Company”).

       

      BACKGROUND

       

      The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Grantor, and the Grantor intends to distribute of all of the Company’s issued and
        outstanding common shares to the Grantor’s shareholders (the “Spin-Off”) such that the Company will be an independent publicly traded company following the Spin-Off. In connection with the Spin-Off , the Grantor desires to grant the Company
        a right of first refusal to acquire one or all of six vessels identified in Exhibit A hereto  (each, a “Subject Vessel”) when and if the Grantor determined to sell such Subject Vessel.

      AGREEMENT

       

      For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Grantor and the Company agree to the following:

       

      1.   Vessel Sale Restriction.  The Grantor hereby agrees that it shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, whether by one or a series of
        transactions and whether directly or indirectly, any Subject Vessel (a “Sale”) except as expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement following the delivery by the Grantor to the Company of an Offer Notice with respect to the Subject
        Vessel proposed to be sold. If any affiliate of the Company shall at any time become the owner of a Subject Vessel, then the Company shall cause such affiliate to be bound by the terms hereof and all terms of this Agreement shall apply to such
        affiliate as if it were the Company.

      

      

      2.   Offer Notice; Response Notice.  The Grantor may, from time to time, deliver to the Company notice of a potential or contemplated Sale
        (each such notice, an “Offer Notice”). Each Offer Notice shall include a description of the proposed purchase price, which purchase price shall be equal to the fair market value of the applicable Subject Vessel, as determined by the average
        of two independent shipbroker valuations from brokers mutually agreeable to the Grantor and the Company, and proposed terms and conditions of such Sale. Within seven (7) business days after receipt of any Offer Notice, the Company may, in its sole
        discretion, deliver notice to the Grantor (a “Response Notice”) that the Company accepts the price and terms and conditions as those offered in the Offer Notice, subject to the negotiation and execution of a memorandum of agreement for the
        sale of the Subject Vessel as contemplated below and thereafter, the Grantor and the Company shall have thirty (30) days from the date on which the Company delivers the applicable Response Notice to negotiate in good faith, on an exclusive basis,
        the terms of purchase and sale agreement for the applicable Subject Vessel (a “Contract of Sale”), which terms shall be no less favorable to the Company than the purchase price and other terms and conditions contained in the Offer Notice and shall
        contain a due diligence period, customary representations and warranties and other provisions customary in similar types of transactions, as negotiated in good faith by the parties. The Company shall have the right to designate any direct or
        indirect wholly owned subsidiary to consummate the purchase of the Subject Vessel.

      

      

      3.   Termination of Vessel Sale Restriction. If, following the delivery by the Grantor to the Company of an Offer Notice with respect to a Subject
        Vessel, (i) the Company fails to timely deliver a Response Notice with respect to such Offer Notice as provided in Section 2 above, (ii) the Company shall have delivered a Response Notice to the Grantor, and the Grantor and the Company have not
        executed a Contract of Sale within the time period contemplated by Section 2, above and such failure was not the result of a default by the Grantor hereunder, or (iii) a Contract of Sale has been entered into by the Grantor and the Company and
        thereafter is terminated other than on account of a breach by the Grantor, then the Grantor shall be free to sell such Subject Vessel (A) for a purchase price which is no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the purchase price contained in the
        applicable Offer Notice, and (B) otherwise upon substantially the same terms and conditions contemplated by the Offer Notice, so long as such Sale is consummated within three (3) months after the date on which the Company received the applicable
        Offer Notice. Upon such Sale described in the immediately preceding sentence, said right of first refusal (with respect to such Subject Vessel only) shall thereupon automatically terminate and shall be of no further force and effect and such right
        of first refusal shall not be binding upon the Grantor’s successors or assigns. If such proposed Sale is not consummated as permitted hereunder within such [three (3)] month period, the Company’s right of first refusal shall be deemed to be
        reinstated and Seller shall not have the right to sell such Subject Vessel until it has again complied with the provisions of this Agreement, including delivering an Offer Notice with respect to such Subject Vessel.

      
        
          

      

      

      

      4.   Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications to any party hereunder will be in writing (including prepaid overnight courier
        or electronic mail) and will be given to such party at its respective address set forth below or at such other address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the other party hereto.  Each such notice, request or other

        compromise any and all actions, suits or proceedings in respect of any of the Interests, and (c) do any and all such acts and things in furtherance of this Agreement as the Attorney-in-Fact shall deem advisable. Each Conveying Party hereby declares
        that the appointment hereby made and the powers hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are and shall be irrevocable and perpetual and shall not be terminated by any act of any Conveying Party or its successors or assigns or by operation of
        law.

    

    
      4.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Parties in this Agreement and in or under
        any documents, instruments and agreements delivered pursuant to this Agreement, will survive the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby regardless of any independent investigations that OceanPal may make or cause to be made, or
        knowledge it may have, prior to the date of this Agreement and will continue in full force and effect for a period of one year from the date of this Agreement. At the end of such period, such representations and warranties will terminate, and no
        claim may be brought by OceanPal against Diana thereafter in respect of such representations and warranties, except for claims that have been asserted by OceanPal prior to the date of this Agreement.

      4.2 Costs. OceanPal shall pay any and all sales, use and similar taxes arising out of the contributions, conveyances and deliveries
        to be made hereunder, and shall pay all documentary, filing, recording, transfer, deed, and conveyance taxes and fees required in connection therewith.

      4.3 Headings; References; Interpretation. All Article and Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not
        be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. The words "hereof," "herein" and "hereunder" and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to
        any particular provision of this Agreement. All references herein to Articles and Sections shall, unless the context requires a different construction, be deemed to be references to the Articles and Sections of this Agreement, respectively. All
        personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, shall include all other genders, and the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. The use herein of the word "including" following any
        general statement, term or matter shall not be construed to limit such statement, term or matter to the specific items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such
        as "without limitation," "but not limited to," or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such
        general statement, term or matter.

      4.4 Successors and Assigns. The Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
        successors and assigns.

      4.5 No Third Party Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to bind the Parties as to each other and are not intended
        to and do not create rights in any other person or confer upon any other person any benefits, rights or remedies and no person is or is intended to be a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

      4.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one agreement
        binding on the parties hereto.

      4.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without
        giving effect to any choice of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. Each of the parties hereto
        submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or, if jurisdiction in that court is not available, then any state court located within the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York) for
        any and all legal actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

      4.8 Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to contravene, or to be
        invalid under, the laws of any governmental body having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof, such contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate the entire Agreement. Instead, this

      Agreement shall be construed as if it did not contain the particular provision or provisions held to be invalid, and an equitable adjustment shall be made and
        necessary provision added so as to give effect, as nearly as possible, to the intention of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement at the time of execution of this Agreement.

    

    
      4.9 Deed; Bill of Sale; Assignment. To the extent required and permitted by applicable Law, this Agreement shall also constitute a
        "deed," "bill of sale" or "assignment" of the Interests.

      4.10 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may be amended or modified from time to time only by the written agreement of all the
        Parties hereto.

      4.11 Integration. This Agreement and the instruments referenced herein supersede all previous understandings or agreements among the
        Parties, whether oral or written, with respect to its subject matter hereof. This Agreement and such instruments contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. No understanding,
        representation, promise or agreement, whether oral or written, is intended to be or shall be included in or form part of this Agreement unless it is contained in a written amendment hereto executed by the Parties hereto after the date of this
        Agreement.
