Hello and thank you for standing by. My name is Ginnie and I will be your conference operator today. I would like to welcome you to the Global Ship Lease Q4 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, Chief Executive Officer of Global Ship Lease. You may begin your conference.

Ian Webber

Thank you very much. Hello everyone, and welcome to Global Ship Lease's fourth quarter 2023 earnings conference call. You can find the slides that accompany today's presentation on our website at www.globalshiplease.com.

As usual slides two and three 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 which was on 2022 and that was filed in March 23rd. You can find the 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 Tassos Psaropoulos; and our Chief Commercial Officer, Tom Lister.

George will begin the call with some 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.
