International Seaways runs a fleet of 83 ocean-going tankers that haul crude oil and refined fuels across the globe—think of it as a floating pipeline for energy traders and oil giants.
Money comes from chartering tankers to oil companies, traders, and governments; the 2026 quarter shows a 76% gross margin, but revenue swings wildly with spot rates (USD 0.84B in 2025 vs USD 1.07B in 2023).
Scale and specialized vessels create barriers, but the market is commoditized—competitors like Frontline and Euronav can order identical ships, and charter rates are set by global supply/demand, not brand loyalty.
