Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Section 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On April 24, 2009 Constar International Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed their unaudited combined monthly operating report for the period March 1, 2009 through March 31, 2009 (the “Operating Report”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). A copy of the Operating Report is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court and the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532 (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The financial information contained in the Operating Report is preliminary and unaudited and does not purport to show the financial statements of any of the Debtors in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and, therefore, may exclude items required by GAAP, such as certain reclassifications, eliminations, accruals and disclosure items. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on the Operating Report. The Operating Report may be subject to revision. The Operating Report is in a format required by the Bankruptcy Court and the Bankruptcy Code and should not be used for investment purposes. The information in the Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference

The Operating Report is being furnished for informational purposes only and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Registration statements or other documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) shall not incorporate the Operating Report or any other information set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K by reference, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing. This Current Report on Form 8-K will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in the report that is disclosed.

Forward-looking statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibits) may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company and its management which are made with words such as “will,” “expect,” “believe,” and similar words. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.
