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.

The behaviour of a ship in restricted waters

Authors: Vermeer, H.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of the behaviour of a ship in restricted waters with special regard to underkeel clearance. The main factors affecting the keel clearance are squat, heaving and pitching motions, the occurrence of a heeling angle due to windpressure and ruddermovements and the rolling motion. Distinction will be made for canals, shallow water of finite width and shallow water of infinite width. It is emphasised that the efforts are mainly concentrated on the several calculation procedures which exist for squat and the difficulties involved in practical applications. With respect to the ship motions in shallow … Show more

Deck wetness and ship efficiency

Authors: Aertssen, G.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Water shipment is the enemy number 1 of full-loaded ships in rough seas. Two diagrams, showing speed related to sea state, in head seas and in beam seas, are given for seven ships, ranging from the fast cross-channel ship to the large container-ship, and for each ship information is added, not only on deck wetness, but also on pitching, accelerations, slamming and racing. The actual speed loss is compared with a estimated loss deduced either from a conventional diagram or from a formula, which might well be used at the design stage of the ship. Some guidance on how to … Show more

Stability of buoyant underwater vehicles

Authors: Booth, T.B.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: In Part I excessive positive buoyancy was shown to cause lateral instability of the buoyant ascent of an underwater vehicle whose excess buoyancy is forward of the centre of mass so that the motion is predominantly forward. A divergent motion in roll and yaw occurred. This Part examines ascents in which the buoyancy is further aft so that the motion is near vertical. Excessive buoyancy is shown to cause a divergent oscillation in roll, sway and yaw.
