Registration
Statement on Form S-3
(File No. 333-145687)
Application
for Withdrawal Pursuant to
Rule 477
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Pursuant
to Rule 477 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (the “Company”)
hereby respectfully requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) consent to the withdrawal, effective as of the date hereof or at
the earliest practicable date thereafter, of its Registration Statement on
Form
S-3, File No. 333-145687, together with all exhibits thereto (the “Registration
Statement”), as filed with the Commission on August 24, 2007.
The
Company requests the withdrawal of
the Registration Statement based on its determination that the Company was
apparently not eligible to use Form S-3 at the time the Registration Statement
was filed. No securities of the Company have been sold pursuant to
the Registration Statement.
If
you have any questions regarding
this application for withdrawal, please contact Thomas E. Molner of Kramer
Levin
Naftalis & Frankel LLP at (212) 715-9429.
Very
truly
yours,
GENCO
