As counsel for PTL Limited (the “Company”) and on its behalf, this letter is being submitted in response to the letter dated May 23, 2024 from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in which the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) commented on the above-referenced Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 submitted on May 9, 2024. Concurrently with the submission of this letter, we hereby transmit, via EDGAR, an amended Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 (“Form F-1”) for filing with the Commission, which has been revised to reflect the Staff’s comments as well as certain other updates to the Form F-1.

2. We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 6 regarding the impact to your operations upon the acquisition of vessels. Please discuss the basis of why you expect lower costs of marine fuel through direct purchases will more than offset the effects of additional costs of vessel ownership and competitive pricing such that your gross profit margin will increase and your profit level will be maximized. Also, discuss the impacts on working capital and operating cash flows regarding the purchase of fuel inventory and additional costs of vessel ownership in advance of collection of associated revenues.

 

RESPONSE: In response to the Staff’s comment, we have revised page 61, to discuss the basis of why we expect lower costs of marine fuel through direct purchases will more than offset the effects of additional costs of vessel ownership and competitive pricing, and to discuss the impacts on working capital and operating cash flows regarding the purchase of fuel inventory and additional costs of vessel ownership in advance of collection of associated revenues.

 

We hope this response has addressed all of the Staff’s concerns relating to the comment letter.
