The journal International Shipbuilding Progress (ISP) was founded in 1954. Each year two issues appear (in March and September). Publications submitted to ISP should describe scientific work of high international standards, advancing subjects related to the field of Marine Technology, such as:

  • - Concept development
    - General design of ships and offshore objects
    - Ship and offshore structural design
    - Hydro-mechanics and -dynamics
    - Maritime engineering and machinery systems
    - Production processes of all types of ships and other objects intended for marine use
    - Production technology and material science
    - Shipping science, economics, and all directly related subjects
    - Ship operations
    - Offshore and ocean engineering in relation to the marine environment
    - Marine safety
    - Efficiency, lifecycle, and  environment
    - Ice-related aspects for ships and offshore objects.

  • The contents of the papers may be of a fundamental or of an applied scientific nature and must be of the highest novelty and rigor.

An experimental simulator for the manoeuvring of surface ships

Authors: van den Brug, J.B. | Wagenaar, W.A.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: A description is given of an experimental simulator for the manoeuvring of surface ships. The simulator consists of a wheelhouse having a wheel, a rudder angle indicator and a compass, an analog computer and a point light source projector. The simulators’ performance has been evaluated by professional ship-officers and pilots. Thereafter it has been in service for several investigations, among others the transfer functions of helmsmen and training studies.

A proposal on noise criteria for sea-going ships

Authors: Buiten, J.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Noise criteria in terms of sound pressure levels and frequencies are proposed for the passengers’ and the crew’s accommodation, for the bridge and for the engineroom of sea-going ships with respect to hearing conservation, audibility of whistles, speech communication, comfort and annoyance. It is shown that the NR-noise rating curves efficiently correlate with annoyance and that sound level A in contrast to industrial noise and road traffic noise is impracticable for ship noises. A short survey of acoustical measures applied in existing ships illustrates that the proposed criteria can be met.

Discussion on Nuclear propulsion for merchant ships and The container port random access problem

Article Type: Discussion

Abstract: The papers in the June 1969 issue of International Shipbuilding Progress on “Nuclear Propulsion of Merchant Ships” and “The Container Port Random Access Problem” were read to the Port of London Marine Officers Association earlier this year. The discussion which followed the papers was recorded and since many of the questions asked will be of similar interest to readers, the discussion is reproduced here in detail in the form of questions and answers.
