Directors of tanker owner ­International Seaways were the best paid among US-­domiciled cargo shipping outfits last year.

Public filings indicate that average director pay of $222,000 at the New York outfit was about 37% higher than the most generous company in 2017 — the $162,000 ­average paid by Seaways’ former ­affiliate Overseas Shipholding Group (OSG).

International Seaways also featured the highest remuneration for an individual director: the $376,000 handed to chairman Douglas Wheat.
