Explanatory Note

On March 31, 2011, International Shipholding Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) to report that Cape Holding, Ltd.(“Cape”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary LCI Shipholdings, Inc. and DryLog Ltd. completed a transaction that restructures their respective 50% interests in Dry Bulk Cape Holding Inc. (“DBCH”).  This amendment is being filed to update the disclosures in Item 2.01 of the original Form 8-K and to provide financial information required by Item 9.01.



Item 2.01    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On March 25, 2011, Cape and DryLog Ltd. completed a transaction that restructures their respective 50% interests in DBCH.
 
Prior to this transaction, DBCH controlled through various subsidiaries two capesize vessels and two Handymax newbuildings.  In connection with this transaction, (i) Cape increased its stake in DBCH from 50% to 100% and (ii) DryLog Ltd. received ownership of two former DBCH subsidiaries holding one capesize vessel and one shipbuilding newbuilding contract relating to a Handymax vessel scheduled to be delivered in the second half of 2012.  Following the transfer of these subsidiaries, DBCH continues to control through two subsidiaries one capesize vessel and one shipbuilding contract relating to a newbuilding Handymax vessel scheduled to be delivered by the end of the first quarter of 2012.
 
This transaction enables the Company to directly hold 100% ownership in two vessels. Additionally, with 100% ownership of DBCH, the Company now has the opportunity to manage its two ships through its wholly-owned ship management subsidiary, LMS Shipmanagement, Inc. Dry Log Ltd. will continue to commercially manage both capesize vessels.

Previously, the Company accounted for its non-controlling interest in DBCH under the equity method. Going forward, DBCH will be included in the Company’s consolidated financial results. In the first quarter of 2011, this transaction generated a gain which was reported in the Company’s consolidated net income in the amount of $18.7 million.  While this transaction is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s future net income, it is expected to benefit earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
