Hello and welcome to the Global Ship Lease Q3 2023 Earnings Conference Call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions]

I will now turn the conference over to Mr. Ian Webber, Global Ship Lease CEO. Please go ahead.

Ian Webber

Thank you very much. Good morning everybody. Welcome to Global Ship Lease's third quarter 2023 earnings conference call. You can find the slides that accompany today's call and presentation on our website at www.globalshiplease.com.

As usual Slides 2 and 3 of our presentation remind you that today's call may include forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations and assumptions and are by their nature inherently uncertain and outside of the company's control. Actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements due to many factors including those described in the Safe Harbor section of the slide presentation.

We would also like to direct your attention to the Risk Factors section of our most recent annual report on our 2022 Form 20-F, which was filed earlier this year on March 23rd. You can find that form on our website or on the SEC's.

All of our statements are qualified by these and other disclosures in our reports filed with the SEC. We do not undertake any duty to update forward-looking statements. For reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to which we will refer during this call to the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please refer to the earnings release that we issued this morning which is also available on our website.

As usual I'm joined today by our Executive Chairman George Youroukos, our Chief Financial Officer of Tassos Psaropoulos; and our Chief Commercial Officer, Tom Lister.

George will begin the call with a high-level commentary on GSL and our industry. And then Tassos, Tom, and I will take you through our recent activity, the quarterly results, and financials, and the current market environment. After that we will be pleased to answer your questions.
