 INTERNATIONAL SHIPHOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     JUNE 30, 1995
                      (Unaudited)
     
     Note 1.  Basis of Preparation
     
            The   accompanying  unaudited  interim
     financial   statements  have  been   prepared
     pursuant to the rules and regulations of  the
     Securities and Exchange Commission.   Certain
     information and footnote disclosures required
     by  generally accepted accounting  principles
     for  complete financial statements have  been
     omitted.  It is suggested that these  interim
     statements  be read in conjunction  with  the
     financial   statements  and   notes   thereto
     included  in  the Form 10-K of  International
     Shipholding  Corporation for the  year  ended
     December 31, 1994.  Certain reclassifications
     have  been  made  to prior  period  financial
     information  in order to conform  to  current
     year presentations.
            Interim  statements  are  subject   to
     possible  adjustments in connection with  the
     annual  audit  of the Company's accounts  for
     the  full  year  1995;  in  the  opinion   of
     management,  all adjustments  (consisting  of
     only  normal recurring adjustments) necessary
     for  a  fair  presentation of the information
     shown have been included.
           The foregoing 1995 interim results  are
     not necessarily indicative of the results  of
     the operations for the full year 1995.
           The  Company's policy is to consolidate
     all  subsidiaries in which it  holds  greater
     than  50%  voting interest.  All  significant
     intercompany  accounts and transactions  have
     been eliminated.
           The  Company  uses the cost  method  to
     account for investments in entities in  which
     it holds less than 20% voting interest and in
     which the Company cannot exercise significant
     influence   over  operating   and   financial
     activities.   The  Company  uses  the  equity
     method to account for investments in entities
     in  which  it  holds  a  20%  to  50%  voting
     interest.
 
<PAGE 8>
    
            As   of   December  31,  1994,   these
     investments  were classified on  the  Balance
     Sheet  as  Investments  In  and  Advances  to
     Unconsolidated    Entities.      The     more
     significant of the investments were interests
     in  Havtor  AS,  A/S  Havtor  Management  and
     Bulkowners  1984.  During the first  half  of
     1995,  A/S  Havtor  Management  and  the  gas
     carrier  activities of Kvaerner, an unrelated
     Norwegian  company, were merged  with  Havtor
     AS.  In addition, Havtor AS agreed to acquire
     other vessels and vessel interests, including
     the interest held by the Company in two PROBO
     vessels   held   through   Bulkowners   1984.
     Subsequent   to   these   transactions,   the
     Company's  interest in Havtor AS, a  publicly
     listed  company  on the Oslo Stock  Exchange,
     approximated  7.7%.  Due to the liquidity  of
     these shares, this investment is reflected in
     the  Balance  Sheet  at  June  30,  1995   as
     Marketable Equity Securities and is stated at
     fair market value.  Unrealized holding gains,
     net  of  tax, are excluded from earnings  and
     reported   as   a   separate   component   of
     shareholders' equity.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPHOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
   FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     
     
     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     
          The Company's vessels are operated under
     a  variety  of charters, liner services,  and
     contracts.   The nature of these arrangements
     is such that, without a material variation in
     gross  voyage  profits (total  revenues  less
     voyage   expenses   and  vessel   and   barge
     depreciation),  the  revenues  and   expenses
     attributable to a vessel deployed  under  one
     type   of  charter  or  contract  can  differ
     substantially from those attributable to  the
     same  vessel  if deployed under  a  different
     type  of  charter or contract.   Accordingly,
     depending on the mix of charters or contracts
     in   place  during  a  particular  accounting
     period,  the Company's revenues and  expenses
     can  fluctuate substantially from one  period
     to  another even though the number of vessels
     deployed,  the  number of voyages  completed,
     the  amount  of cargo carried and  the  gross
     voyage profit derived from the vessels remain
     relatively    constant.    As    a    result,
     fluctuations in voyage revenues and  expenses
     are  not necessarily indicative of trends  in
     profitability, and management  believes  that
     gross  voyage  profit is a  more  appropriate
     measure   of   performance   than   revenues.
     Accordingly,  the discussion below  addresses
     variations  in  gross voyage  profits  rather
     than variations in revenues.
     
            Gross  Voyage  Profit.   Gross  voyage
     profit  for the first half of 1995  of  $30.0
     million was slightly above the amount  earned
     during  first half of 1994 of $29.6  million.
     Positively   impacting  the  current   period
     results  was  the  addition  of  the  SULPHUR
     ENTERPRISE  to the Company's fleet  in  early
     fourth  quarter of 1994.  This  increase  was
     offset  by reductions in gross voyage  profit
     resulting from lower freight rates and higher
     operating costs such as fuel and voyage  time
     experienced  by  the Company's  LASH  vessels
     employed  in liner service between 

<PAGE 10>

     ports  on
     the U. S. Gulf/U. S. Atlantic Coast and South
     Asia   (Trade  Routes  18  and   17).    The
     quarter was also negatively impacted by a 
     scheduled rate reduction on one of the Company's
     vessels  chartered  to the  Military  Sealift
     Command  (the  "MSC").  The addition of the
     SULPHUR ENTERPRISE, partially offset by the
     aforementioned negative events, also accounted
     for the 4.0% increase in gross  voyage profit
     for  the second quarter  of  1995 as compared
     to the comparable period of 1994.
           Vessel  and barge depreciation for  the
     first  half of 1995 was consistent  with  the
     amount  in  the  same  period  of  1994.   An
     increase  in depreciation due to the addition
     of  the  SULPHUR ENTERPRISE in  early  fourth
     quarter  of  1994 was offset by  a  reduction
     resulting from the life extension of two LASH
     vessels which were purchased in 1994 upon the
     termination  of  the capital lease  of  these
     vessels.
     
              Other     Income    and     Expense.
     Administrative and general expense  decreased
     by  5.2%  to $12.7 million during  the  first
     half of 1995 as compared to $13.4 million  in
     the  comparable period of 1994 stemming  from
     continuing  cost  reduction  efforts.   These
     efforts  also  resulted  in  a  reduction  in
     administrative and general expenses  of  7.9%
     during the second quarter of 1995 as compared
     to the same period in 1994.
           Interest  Expense  increased  23.3%  to
     $12.8  million in the first half of  1995  as
     compared to $10.4 million in the same  period
     in  1994  primarily due to debt  incurred  in
     late   1994   when  the  SULPHUR   ENTERPRISE
     delivered  from  the shipyard  and  commenced
     operation.   Additionally impacting  interest
     expense  was interest on $12 million received
     in early 1995 from a medium term loan with  a
     commercial   bank   for   general   corporate
     purposes and interest incurred under interest
     rate conversion agreements.  These items also
     impacted  interest  expense  in  the   second
     quarter of 1995.  Increases in both the first
     half  of 1995 and second quarter of 1995 were
     partially   offset  by  regularly   scheduled
     payments on other outstanding debt.

<PAGE 11>

            Investment  income  approximated  $1.5
     million  in both the first half of  1994  and
     1995.

          Income Taxes.  The Company provided $2.1
     million for federal income taxes in the first
     half of 1995 at the statutory rate of 35%  as
     compared to $2.5 million in the first half of
     1994   at   the   same   rate.    Income   of
     unconsolidated  entities  is  shown  net   of
     applicable taxes.
     
<PAGE 12>

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
           The Company's working capital decreased
     from  $16.8 million at December 31, 1994,  to
     $15.0   million  at  June  30,  1995,   after
     provision for current maturities of long-term
     debt  of  $29.8  million  and  capital  lease
     obligations of $1.5 million.  Cash  and  cash
     equivalents increased during the  first  half
     of  1995 by $9.3 million to a total of  $38.9
     million.
           Positive cash flows were achieved  from
     operating activities in the first six  months
     of  1995 in the amount of $34.9 million.  The
     major source of cash from operations was  net
     income, adjusted for non-cash provisions such
     as depreciation and amortization.
           Net  cash used for investing activities
     amounted  to $40.3 million during  the  first
     half  of  1995.  Capital investments included
     $31.8 million for the purchase and conversion
     of two semi-submersible vessels, $1.7 million
     for  computer  development and  upgrades  and
     approximately     $700,000     for      other
     miscellaneous  items.   Other  uses  of  cash
     included  the  addition of  $6.1  million  of
     deferred  charge items, primarily for  vessel
     drydocking.
            Net   cash   provided   by   financing
     activities  during the first  six  months  of
     1995  totalled $14.7 million.  Proceeds  from
     the  issuance  of debt obligations  of  $39.1
     million included $12.0 million from a  medium
     term   loan   which  was  used  for   general
     corporate  purposes, $19.1  million  received
     from  a  long-term loan associated  with  the
     acquisition  and  conversion  of  two   semi-
     submersible  vessels and $8.0  million  drawn
     under  the  Company's lines of credit.   Cash
     used   for   financing  activities   included
     regularly  scheduled  principal  payments  of
     $9.9  million  for  debt  and  capital  lease
     obligations,  repayment of $13 million  drawn
     under  lines of credit and $900,000 to prepay
     a portion of the Senior Notes issued in 1993.
     Additionally,   $535,000  was  used  to  meet
     common stock dividend requirements.
          The Company has entered into a long-term
     contract with a major copper and gold  mining
     company  to  provide transportation  services
     for supplies associated with the operation of
     a  copper  and  gold mine on  the  Indonesian
     Island  of  Irian  Jaya.   The  Company   has
     acquired   and   is  converting   two   semi-

<PAGE 13>

     submersible  barge carrying  vessels  and  is
     having 26 cargo barges built to be used  with
     the  aforementioned vessels.  As of June  30,
     1995, the Company had paid approximately  $33
     million  of  the total cost of  approximately
     $78 million.  The Company will also charter a
     small   container  vessel  to   fulfill   the
     requirements   of  the  contract   which   is
     expected  to  commence  in  late  1995.   The
     Company    has    arranged   financing    for
     approximately  60%  of  the  cost  of   these
     acquisitions through a long-term loan with  a
     commercial  bank.   Draws  under  this   loan
     totalled  $19.1 million as of June  30,  1995
     with  additional  draws  anticipated  in  the
     second half of 1995.
          The Company contracted, in October 1994,
     to  purchase  a U. S. Flag Coal Carrier  with
     delivery now anticipated in the third quarter
     of  1995.   The  vessel will be placed  under
     long-term charter to a major electric utility
     company  to  carry part of its  fuel  supply.
     The  ship will also be used from time to time
     to  carry  cargoes for the account  of  other
     charterers.    The   Company   has   arranged
     financing with a commercial bank for a  major
     portion of the purchase price of the vessel.
           As  of  December 31, 1994, the  Company
     held an approximate 9% interest in Havtor AS,
     a  publicly listed company on the Oslo  Stock
     Exchange, and a 14.2% equity interest in  A/S
     Havtor Management, a privately held Norwegian
     ship  management company.  In  addition,  the
     company  held  a 50% interest  in  a  foreign
     entity, Bulkowner's 1984, which was formed to
     own   and   operate   two   combination   dry
     cargo/petroleum products, PROBO vessels.  The
     Company also held a 10% interest in a limited
     partnership with certain Norwegian  interests
     to  construct  and own a liquified  petroleum
     gas carrier which delivered in 1993.
           During  the First Quarter of 1995,  the
     Company  signed  an  agreement  whereby   A/S
     Havtor   Management  and  the   gas   carrier
     activities   of   Kvaerner,   an    unrelated
     Norwegian  company,  would  be  merged   into
     Havtor AS.  In addition, Havtor AS agreed  to
     acquire  other vessels and vessel  interests,
     including  the  50%  interest  held  by   the
     Company  in  two PROBO vessels  and  the  10%
     interest  held  in a liquified petroleum  gas
     carrier.    The   merger  was   approved   by
     shareholders  in  a general meeting  held  in
     April 1995.

<PAGE 14>

           Subsequent to the merger the  Company's
     interest  inHavtor AS approximated 6.4%.   In
     addition,  Havtor AS stock was  held  by  the
     Company  as collateral for a promissory  note
     which  matures in mid-1996. During the second
     quarter  of  1995 the Company  purchased  the
     Norwegian interest which held this promissory
     note.   After  the acquisition the  Company's
     interest in Havtor AS approximated 7.7%.  Due
     to the liquidity of the shares held in Havtor
     AS,   the  investment  is  reflected  in  the
     financial  statements at  fair  market  value
     with    unrealized    holding    gains     of
     approximately  $8.2  million,  net  of   tax,
     excluded  from  earnings and  reported  as  a
     separate component of shareholders' equity in
     accordance   with  the  required   accounting
     treatment    for   investments   in    equity
     securities  that  have  readily  determinable
     fair values.
           To  meet  short-term requirements  when
     fluctuations  occur in working  capital,  the
     Company  has available four lines  of  credit
     totaling $35.0 million of which $5.0  million
     was drawn at June 30, 1995.
           The  Company has not been notified that
     it  is  a  potentially responsible  party  in
     connection with any environmental matters.
          At a regular meeting held July 19, 1995,
     the  Board  of Directors declared a quarterly
     dividend  of five cents per share  of  common
     stock to be paid on September 8, 1995, to its
     stockholders  of  record as of  September  1,
     1995.
