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 speaker's remarks, there will be a question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question during this time, simply press star one on your telephone keypad. I will now turn the conference over to Mr. Ian Webber, Global Ship Lease CEO. Please go ahead.

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 two and three of that 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 factor section of our most recent annual report on our 2022 Form 20F, which was filed earlier this year on March the 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. The 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 Yurikos, our chief financial officer, Tasos Saropoulos, and our chief commercial officer, Tom Lister. George will begin the call with a high-level commentary on GSL and our industry. And then Tasos, Tom and I will take you through our recent activity, the quarterly results and financials and the current market environment. After that, we'll be pleased to answer your questions. So turning now please to slide four, I'll pass the call over to George.
