Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On November 16, 2011, Trailer Bridge, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) stating that the Staff has determined that the Company’s securities will be delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). The Staff reached its decision under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b), and IM-5101-1 following the Company’s announcement that the Company filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida on November 16, 2011.

As previously disclosed, on August 18, 2011, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that the Company’s market value of publicly held shares was below the minimum $15,000,000 requirement for continued listing. As further disclosed, on October 6, 2011, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that for 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on Nasdaq. Given these continued listing requirements, the early status of the Bankruptcy Case and the demands the Bankruptcy Case has posed on the Company’s resources, the Company does not plan to appeal the Staff’s determination to delist the Company’s common stock.

Accordingly, trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on November 28, 2011, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. After the Company’s common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, it may trade on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTC BB”) or the Pink OTC Markets, Inc. (the “Pink Sheets”), but only if a market maker applies to quote the Company’s common stock. There is no assurance that any market maker will decide to quote the Company’s common stock immediately following delisting by Nasdaq, or at all, and thus there is no assurance that the Company’s common stock will be eligible to trade on the OTC BB or the Pink Sheets.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1
