  The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the U.S.
  Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"):
  a.
  The Registrant's Annual Report on
  Form
  20-F
  for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024;

  The Reports on Form

  dated
  May 3,
   2024
  ,
  May 8, 2024
  (which contains our unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three months

  July 31, 2024
  (which contains our unaudited
  condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023);
  c.
  The description of the Registrant's capital stock, as described in the Registrant's Registration
  Statement on
  Form 8-A
  filed on July 
  29, 2013, as updated by
  Exhibit 2.2
  to the Registrant's Annual Report on Form
  20-F
  for the fiscal year
  ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024, including any subsequent amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description; and
  d.
  All other reports filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
  1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Registrant's Annual Report referred to in a. above.
  All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after
  the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which
  de-registers
  all securities then
  remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated by reference herein shall be
  deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or
  supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
  Item 4. Description of Securities.
  Not applicable.
  Item 5. Interests of
  Named Experts and Counsel.
  None.
  Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  The Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act authorizes corporations to limit the personal liability of directors and officers to
  corporations and their shareholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors' fiduciary duties. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws include a provision that eliminates the personal liability
  of directors for monetary damages for actions taken as a director to the fullest extent permitted by law.
  Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to
  the fullest extent authorized by law. We are also expressly authorized to advance certain expenses (including attorney's fees and disbursements and court costs) to our directors and officers and carry directors' and officers'
  insurance providing indemnification for our directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities. We believe that these indemnification provisions and this insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive
  officers.
  The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended
  and Restated Bylaws may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors or officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors
  and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and
  officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
  There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of
  our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

  Item 9. Undertakings
  1.
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
  (a)
  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
  Registration Statement:
  (i)
  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities
  Act");
  (ii)
  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration
  Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and
  (iii)
  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
  Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.
  Provided,
  however,
  that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to
  Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.
  (b)
  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment
  shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
  (c)
  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
  remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
  2.
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
  Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
  Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
  time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
  3.
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
  officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnity provisions summarized in Item 6, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as
  expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
  person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
  counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the
  final adjudication of such issue.
  SIGNATURES
  Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of
  the requirements for filing on Form
  S-8
  and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Cork, Ireland, on
  August 30, 2024.
