I was forwarded your expression of interest in applying for a Shelf Charter. I tried to phone you this morning to discuss the application process at 646-458-9107, but I was unable to complete the call. Perhaps you could call me today to discuss the steps in the process (212-709-1531). I can also send you written information that describes the information requirements for an application. I generally urge potential applicants to arrange a pre-application meeting to discuss their business proposal and the application process.
