Post-Effective Amendment to
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-157636), filed on March 2,
2009
|
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Pursuant
to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”), Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. (the “Registrant”) hereby applies to the
Securities and Exchange Commission for consent to withdraw the Registrant’s
“Post-Effective Amendment” to its Registration Statement on Form S-3
(Registration No. 333-157636), filed on
March 2, 2009 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”).
The
Post-Effective Amendment is being withdrawn because the Post-Effective Amendment
was filed via IDEA as a Registration Statement under the EDGAR code “S-3” rather
than a Post-Effective Amendment under the EDGAR code “POSASR.” No
securities have been sold pursuant to the Post-Effective
Amendment. The Company subsequently filed the Post-Effective
Amendment under the correct EDGAR code POSASR (Registration No. 333-148417).
If you
have any questions regarding this application for withdrawal, please contact
Gary J. Wolfe of Seward & Kissel LLP at (212) 574-1223.
