Thank you, Operator, and welcome to the Pangea Logistics Solutions First Quarter 2025 Results Conference Call. Leading the call with me today is CEO, Mark Zielinowski, Chief Financial Officer, Gianni Gassignore, and COO, Maz Peterson. Today's discussion contains forward-looking statements about future business and financial expectations. Actual results may differ significantly from those projected in today's forward-looking statement due to various risks and uncertainties, including the risks described in our periodic reports filed with the SEC. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update our forward-looking statements. At the conclusion of our prepared remarks, we will open the line for questions.

With that, I'd like to turn the call over to Mark. Thank you, Stephan, and welcome to those joining us on the call today.
