Mobile, AL – May 18, 2016 - International Shipholding Corporation (OTCQX: ISHC) today announced that it remained in discussions with its principal lenders regarding various defaults under its credit facilities.

The Company has retained Blackhill Partners, LLC as its financial advisor to assist in its continued evaluation of various strategic alternatives to address its liquidity and capital structure.
