We are currently witnessing huge volatility in the world economy and the risks to businesses operating in this environment are constantly changing.

Critical Accounting Policies, page 50
Valuation of Vessels and Impairment, page 51

21.		Please expand your critical accounting policy to discuss the factors impacting the dry bulk market and the changing conditions causing the volatility in the industry and the valuation of vessels. Consider including such factors as the future demand for dry bulk shipping and the future demand for scrap steel and its impact on the residual value of the vessels.

		*Response to Comment 21:*

		The Company has added disclosure on page 58 expanding its critical accounting policy discussion addressing the factors impacting the dry bulk market and the changing conditions causing volatility in the industry and the valuation of vessels.

		The Company supplementally advises the Staff that in the Company’s future financial statements, commencing with the year ending December 31, 2008 which will be prepared under U.S. GAAP, it will follow SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived assets” (“SFAS No. 144”). In accordance with SFAS No. 144, its long-lived assets will be regularly reviewed for impairment. The Company will perform the impairment valuations at the individual vessel level pursuant to paragraph 10 of SFAS No. 144.

		To determine whether there is an impairment indicator, the Company will compare the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of each vessel less operating expenses with its book value and will be tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount (book value) may not be recoverable.

		The assumptions to be used to determine whether the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the vessel exceeds the carrying value will involve a considerable degree of estimation on the part of the Company’s management team. A profitability weighted approach may be used in considering the likelihood of possible returns. Actual results could differ from those estimates, which could have a material effect on the recoverability of the vessels.

		The most significant assumptions used will be:

	•		the determination of the possible future new charters, future market values and/or the eventual disposition of the vessel. Estimates will be based on market studies and appraisals made by leading independent shipping analysts and brokers, and assessment by management on the basis of market information, shipping newsletters, chartering and sale of comparable vessels reported in the press. Appraisals will be made by independent appraisers, but will not be based on a physical inspection of the vessel;

	•		the days on-hire which are estimated at a level consistent with its on-hire statistics;

	•		future operating costs; and

	•		the drydock expenses which will be estimated based on scheduled drydocking and special surveys which are carried out every 30 or 60 months.


		Max A. Webb Securities and Exchange Commission December 11, 2008 Page 8

		Whenever the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the charter of each vessel less operating expenses plus its expected residual value is above its book value, the Company considers that there will be no indication of impairment. Whenever the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the charter of each vessel less operating expenses plus its expected residual value will be below its book value, it will consider whether there is a potential impairment and will perform the second step of the impairment under SFAS No. 144.

		An impairment loss will be recognized if the carrying value of each vessel exceeds the sum of the discounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of each vessel.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet, June 30, 2008, page 65

24.

Per the Pro Forma footnote (3) on page 66, the amount being recorded is to adjust the balance sheet to reflect the acquisition of the six carriers and other intangibles; however, the entire amount has been allocated to vessels on the Pro Forma Balance Sheet. Please tell us what intangibles have resulted from the acquisition and why no amount has been allocated. If your allocation is still preliminary and has not been


		Max A. Webb Securities and Exchange Commission December 11, 2008 Page 9

		finalized, please still provide us your most current information as well as the nature of uncertainties that may result in any material adjustments upon financial allocation.

		*Response to Comment 24:*

		The Company supplementally advises the Staff that, for purposes of the pro forma presentation, the entire amount of the acquisition cost has been preliminarily allocated to vessels as the purchase price allocation has not yet been finalized as of the date of this response. The Company is still assessing the value of the vessels and whether other intangible assets have been acquired, including goodwill. However, based on the Company’s preliminary assessment, it has not identified any material intangible assets and expects to allocate substantially all of the acquisition cost to the vessels acquired. The Company believes that this is consistent within the shipping industry.

		If identifiable intangible assets are recorded upon completion of the purchase price allocation, then the cost of such assets could be amortized over a different period of time rather than over the useful lives of the vessels. If goodwill is recorded, it would not be amortized but tested annually for impairment. Should intangible assets, including goodwill, be identified, the Company does not currently believe such amounts would be material. The Company has updated the pro formas disclosure on page 74 to reflect this.

Notes to Condensed Combined Unaudited Interim Financial Statements, page F-66
Drydocking Costs

29.		We note that the cash flows associated with drydocking costs have been presented as an investing activity on the statements of cash flow included in the combined financial statements for the vessels. As the nature of these costs is operating, please tell us whether you plan to classify them as such in your statement of cash flows in future financial statements. If you plan to continue to present them as an investing activity, please tell us why you believe this presentation is appropriate.

		Response to Comment 29:

		The Company supplementally advises the Staff that it has classified its drydocking costs as an investing activity in the Combined Financial Statements of the vessel companies under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). However, since it is common industry practice under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP), the Company confirms that post-acquisition, it will classify drydocking costs in the statements of cash flows as an operating activity.
