Thank you, Natalie, and welcome to ZIM's first quarter 2022 financial results conference call. Joining me on the call today are Eli Glickman, ZIM’s President and CEO; and Xavier Destriau, ZIM’s CFO.

Eli Glickman

Thank you, Elana and welcome everyone to today's call. Following an extraordinary 2021 closing, we carried out our strong momentum into 2022. I am proud to present another quarter of record results and exemplary execution.

I believe that we are very well-positioned today as an innovative provider of seaborne transportation to capitalize on market tailwinds and continue delivering superior profitability.

Before I dive into our quarterly highlights, I would like to address the situation in Ukraine. The continued violence saddens us deeply. In an effort to support the people of Ukraine, we have donated to help build and operate a field hospital to care for those affected by the war.
