Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is filing herewith amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Registration Statement via EDGAR to the Commission.

The Company respectfully advises the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) that, subject to market conditions, it plans to launch the road show for the proposed offering as soon as possible. The Company would appreciate the Staff’s timely assistance and support to the Company in meeting the proposed timetable for the offering.

1. We note that you have checked the Rule 415 box on the outside cover page, yet disclosures elsewhere indicate that this is a firm commitment, underwritten offering. Please advise or revise accordingly.

The Company respectfully submits that, although the proposed initial public offering is a firm commitment underwritten offering, the Registration Statement also seeks to register ordinary shares to be sold by certain shareholders from time to time pursuant to a resale prospectus included in the Registration Statement after the completion of the initial public offering on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.

The Offering, page 9

2. It appears that Ten-League and Jules Verne are registering the resale of shares in the underwritten public offering, while LJSC Holdings, Undersea Capital and Jules Verne are registering the resale of shares in the resale prospectus. Please revise throughout to clearly indicate which shareholders are registering shares in the public offering prospectus versus the resale prospectus. For example, in the explanatory note on page ii, you state that the public offering prospectus is for the underwritten public offering by you of 2,203,500 shares, but you do not indicate that Ten-League and Jules Verne are also selling shares in the underwritten offering. Consider using different terms to discuss the shareholders who

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages ii, iii and alt-3 of the Amendment No. 1.

3. We note your disclosure on page 43 attributing the decrease in revenue derived from sales of heavy equipment to customers postponing purchases to minimize interest expenses amid elevated interest rates. In this risk factor, or another you deem more appropriate, please update your disclosure characterized as potential if inflationary pressures or related interest rate increases have impacted your operations.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 20 of the Amendment No. 1.

If you have any questions regarding the Registration Statement, please contact the undersigned by phone at +852.3551.8688 or via e-mail at louise.liu@morganlewis.com.

truly yours
