Based on the facts presented, the Division’s views are as follows. Capitalized terms have the same meanings defined in your letter.

• Galileo Holding may take into account General Maritime’s and Arlington’s reporting histories in determining Galileo Holding’s eligibility to use Forms S-3, S-4 and S-8, and may file a registration statement on Form S-3 only if it incorporates by reference the required Exchange Act reports of General Maritime and Arlington;
• Galileo Holding may take into account the Exchange Act reporting histories of General Maritime and Arlington in determining whether Galileo Holding has complied with the public information requirements of Securities Act Rule 144(c)(1);
• Galileo Holding is a “large accelerated filer” for purposes of Exchange Act Rule 12b-2; and
• Galileo Holding may be treated as an issuer subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for purposes of the Securities Act Rule 174(b) exemption from the prospectus delivery requirements of Securities Act Section 4(3).

These positions are based on the representations made to the Division in your letter. Any different facts or conditions might require different conclusions.
