This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 6, 2008, as amended by Amendments Nos. 1, 2 and 3 thereto (the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the common stock, $0.01 par value (“Common Stock”), of Aries Maritime Transport Limited, a Bermuda company (the “Issuer”). In addition, this Amendment No. 4 is being made (i) to include several transactions that were inadvertently omitted from Item 5(c) in Amendment No. 3 filed on May 29, 2009 and (ii) to remove the reported May 12, 2009 transaction for 4,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of USD $0.69 per share inasmuch as such transaction did not occur and was reported in error in Item 5(c) in Amendment No. 3 filed on May 29, 2009.

Parmenides may be deemed to be the direct beneficial owner of 1,597,193 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 5.58% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

By virtue of its ownership of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Parmenides, Navig8 may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of the 1,597,193 shares of Common Stock held directly by Parmenides, or approximately 5.58% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

By virtue of his shareholdings in Navig8, Busch may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of the 1,597,193 shares of Common Stock held directly by Parmenides, or approximately 5.58% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The persons listed on Schedule A disclaim any beneficial ownership of the Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons.
