Thank you, James, and good morning or good afternoon to everyone. Thank you for joining us. We are pleased to report another quarter of strong financial results. In the second quarter, the company generated $144.5 million in adjusted EBITDA and $67.8 million in adjusted net income. When we last spoke in May, markets were dealing with rising concerns over trade policy, tariffs, and geopolitical instability, factors that pointed to the potential for an economic slowdown. As few major issues have been resolved regarding trade, tariffs, and geopolitics, the likelihood of a recession seems lower today than it was last time we spoke. We see two narratives unfolding. The first is one of strength. The product anchor market continues to benefit from strong demand for refined products and long-term structural changes in global refining that are extending trade routes and increasing tonn miles. The second is one of caution. The policy landscape remains uncertain, and geopolitical risks continue to create noise, clouding visibility. Scorpio Tankers is stronger today financially, operationally, and commercially than it was just one quarter ago. We continue to fortify our balance sheet, expanding revolving credit capacity, maintaining a cash break-even of $12,500 per day, and giving notice to repurchase our final three vessels under sale list by financing. At the start of 2022, our lease obligations totaled $2.2 billion. Today, that figure is below $70 million, and in just a few months, it will be zero. Today, our liquidity is approximately $1.4 billion, including cash, under-owned revolving credit, and our investment in DHT. Operationally, we completed RIDOX for eight vessels in the second quarter and 71 vessels over the last seven quarters, enhancing fleet efficiency and positioning as well for the quarters ahead. Commercially, we added one vessel on a 12-year variable charter with a time charter equivalent rate in excess of $21,000 per day. Our approach to capital allocation remains measured, not because our view on the product anchor market, which remains constructed, but due to the broader global uncertainty that continues to persist. This quarter, we trimmed our investment in DHC, selling 2.7 million shares at over $12 per share, realizing a 16% return. Looking ahead, we remain optimistic. OPEX recent production increase should provide a tailwind to tanker demand. Our view on both crude and refined products remains positive. With a modern fleet, robust liquidity, and a strong balance sheet, Scorpio Tankers is well positioned to navigate uncertainty and continues delivering long-term value to our shareholders. Thank you, and I will pass the call to James for a brief presentation. James.
