Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1
Cover Page
1.Please revise to discuss the legal and operational risks associated with having your
operations in Hong Kong. Discuss any applicable laws and regulations in Hong Kong and
the risks and consequences to the company. As an example, disclose how regulatory
actions related to data security or anti-monopoly concerns in Hong Kong, China's
Enterprise Tax Law, and the arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention
of Fiscal Evasion with respect to taxes on income, have or may impact the company’s
ability to conduct its business, accept foreign investment or list on a U.S. and/or foreign
exchange. Include related risk factor disclosure explaining whether there are laws and/or
regulations in Hong Kong that result in oversight over data security, how this oversight
impacts the company’s business and the offering, and to what extent the company believes

that it is compliant with the regulations or policies that have been issued. With respect to
your disclosure that you believe the laws and regulations of the PRC do not currently have
any material impact on your business, financial condition or results of operations, please
revise to clarify that all of the legal and operational risks associated with operating in the
PRC also apply to your operations in Hong Kong.
Prospectus Summary, page 5
2.In your summary of risk factors, provide cross references to the more detailed discussions
in the prospectus regarding the risks that your corporate structure and being based in or
having the majority of the company’s operations in Hong Kong poses to investors.
3.You disclose at page 6 that, on December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report to notify
the SEC of its determination that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate
completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and
Hong Kong, including your auditors, UHY LLP. This appears inconsistent with your
disclosure on the cover page and in your related risk factor at page 33. Please revise or
advise.
Risk Factors
We depend on certain customers for our revenue, page 14

appropriate place in your prospectus please describe the material terms of any material
contracts with your customers and file such as exhibits with your registration statement.
Refer to Item 10.C of Form 20-F and Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K. Please also
revise to clarify the identity of Customer A (a related party).

page 39
5.Please revise your risk factor disclosure to identify any exemptions and scaled disclosures
which overlap with those available to you as both a foreign private issuer and an emerging
growth company, and to clarify that the described exemptions and scaled disclosures as a
result of your status as a foreign private issuer will be available to you even if you no
longer qualify as an emerging growth company.

the seaborne pulping business.” Please revise to provide more meaningful and specific
disclosure of the intended use of proceeds and the approximate amounts intended to be

Business
Competition, page 78
9.We note your disclosure that, according to the Frost & Sullivan Report, your seaborne
pulping business operates an innovated business model unlike incumbent shipping
companies, and that you therefore do not expect to see direct competitors for your

Group Corporation, for which Ms. Zhu, your Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief
Financial Officer, and Chairman of the Board, has also been serving as a senior
investment adviser since 2009, operates the international shipping business of Caravelle
International Group, which is reportedly developing a similar carbon-neutral ocean
technology. Please advise whether you consider Caravelle International Group to be a
competitor and, in an appropriate area in your prospectus, disclose any material conflicts
related to Ms. Zhu and Topsheen Shipping Group Corporation. Please also supplementally
provide us with a copy of the Frost & Sullivan report.
Business
Debt and Financing, page 79

When you update your interim financial statements for the period ended December 31,
2023, please address the following:
•Present a pro forma balance sheet, alongside your historical balance sheet, that
reflects the dividend. Please make conforming changes to your capitalization table to
