5.             Irrevocable
Proxy. By execution of this Agreement, each Securityholder and its Affiliates (if applicable) do hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
appoint and constitute INSW or any designee thereof, until the Expiration Time (immediately after which time this proxy shall automatically
be revoked), with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as such Securityholder’s or Affiliates’ (if applicable)
true and lawful attorney-in-fact and irrevocable proxy, to the fullest extent of such Securityholder’s or Affiliates’ (if
applicable) rights with respect to the Subject Securities owned beneficially or of record by such Securityholder or its respective Affiliates
(if applicable), to vote (or consent pursuant to a written consent) and exercise all voting and related rights, sign or execute forms
of proxy and/or such other deeds or documents (including, without limitation, the power to execute and deliver written consents) with
respect to such Subject Securities owned or held by the Shareholder regarding the matters referred to in such Subject Securities as set
forth in Section 3. Each Securityholder and its Affiliates (if applicable) intend this proxy to be irrevocable and coupled
with an interest until the Expiration Time (at which time this proxy shall automatically be revoked) for all purposes and hereby represents
that any proxies heretofore given with respect to its Subject Securities, if any, are revocable and hereby revokes any proxy previously
granted by each Securityholder and its Affiliates (if applicable) with respect to its Subject Securities. This proxy is granted in consideration
of INSW entering into the Merger Agreement. Each Securityholder and its Affiliates (if applicable) hereby ratifies and confirms all actions

of the Securityholders of DSSI (whether annual or special) to which Section 3 is applicable, each Securityholder shall (and
shall cause its Affiliates to), or shall direct (and shall cause its Affiliates to direct) the holder(s) of record of all of the
Subject Securities of such Securityholder or Affiliate (if applicable) on any applicable record date to, appear, in person or by proxy,
at each meeting or otherwise cause all of the Subject Securities of such Securityholder or Affiliate (if applicable) to be counted as
present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum. If for any reason any proxy granted herein is not irrevocable after it becomes

in accordance with the Required Votes. The parties hereto agree that the foregoing is a voting agreement. This proxy shall be binding
upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Securityholder (including any transferee of
any of the Subject Securities). Each Securityholder undertakes and agrees: (i) to indemnify the Attorney and against all actions,
claims, demands, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses and other liabilities whatsoever which may be made against the Attorney or for

made by the Attorney by reason of acting in good faith pursuant to and in accordance with this power of attorney.

an amendment, by the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure
or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative

11.8          Specific
Performance; Injunctive Relief. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available,
would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms

and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. Accordingly,
any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the
drafting party has no application and is expressly waived. The section headings herein are for convenience of reference purposes only
