History
International Seaways was originally the international division of Overseas Shipholding Group. In 2016, Overseas Shipholding Group underwent a restructuring and its international business lines were spun-off as International Seaways in December of that year. Lois Zabrocky was appointed CEO of the new company and had previously been with Overseas Shipholding Group for 25 years.

In 2022, Cypriot shipping billionaire John Fredriksen took a 16.6% stake in International Seaways through his holding company Seatankers. Seatankers subsequently announced in an open letter that it would withhold its vote for two members of International Seaways' board, including CEO Lois Zabrocky. Fredriksen also owns a 9.6% stake in Overseas Shipholding Group.
