Explanation of Responses:

1. The Reporting Person became entitled to these restricted stock units for Common Stock of International Seaways, Inc. ("INSW") pursuant to the terms of the Employee Matters Agreement between Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. ("OSG") and INSW because they are the contractually calculated value as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of INSW (the "INSW Compensation Committee") for the Reporting Person's unvested restricted stock units of Class A Common Stock of OSG which were granted on June 9, 2015 and assumed by INSW in connection with the spin-off of the Common Stock of INSW to the stockholders of OSG on November 30, 2016. The INSW units vest on December 19, 2017, the same date as the assumed OSG units, which were granted pursuant to the OSG Management Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

2. Each unit represents the right to acquire one share of Common Stock of INSW, does not have voting rights and may not be transferred or otherwise disposed of until the unit settles, the same terms as for the assumed restricted stock units of OSG which were granted pursuant to the Plan. Settlement of these INSW units may be either in shares of Common Stock of INSW or cash as determined by the INSW Compensation Committee. Settlement of these units shall occur as soon as practicable after their vesting date.
