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.

A new approach to the calculations of the hydrostatic magnitudes for a trimmed vessel

Authors: Frackowiak, M. | Pawlowski, M.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The authors submit a proposal to extend the hydrostatic curves to some additional curves. Such extension will allow to estimate the displacement, the coordinates of the centre of buoyancy and the ordinate of metacentre when the ship is trimmed. As an example the new hydrostatic curves are presented for a semi-container ship 150 m in length.

Alternative methods for wake quality assessment

Authors: Yücel Odabaşi, A. | Fitzsimmons, P.A.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: This article discusses the alternative methods for the quality assessment of ship wakes. Available methods are classified in two groups: heuristic methods and analytical methods. Within the context of the heuristic methods the wake quality criteria adopted by BSRA are presented and underlying reasoning is expressed. The methods based on flow kinematics, flow geometry and turbulent boundary layer approximation are the subjects of the analytical methods. It is shown that although these methods have a considerable potential for representing the flow quality, with the current wake survey techniques, analytical methods cannot be applied adequately due to the lack of sufficient … Show more

Generation of short waves in a towing tank

Authors: Achtarides, T.A.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Experiments are reported, which were conducted at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne to generate short regular waves having lengths in the range up to 2 ft (0.61 m), to be subsequently used in wave-excited two-node resonant vertical vibration (springing) model tests. A small, simple, vertically oscillating wedge shaped wavemaker was designed and built for this purpose. Wave heights are plotted against wavelength for various values of wavemaker osciallation amplitude and amplitude ratios against the non-dimensional frequency parameter ω 2 Bn/2g. These results behave according to expectations. The propagation characteristics of the waves … Show more
