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.

Comparison between simulation results and theoretical predictions for a ship rolling in random beam waves

Authors: Roberts, J.B.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: A simulation study has been undertaken of the rolling motion of a ship in random beam waves. For this purpose it was assumed that a single degree of freedom equation of motion was appropriate, with non-linearities in both the damping and restoring moment terms. By generating long realisations of a suitable random input process, and numerically integrating the equation of motion to obtain corresponding realisations of the roll response process, simulation estimates of the roll amplitude cumulative distribution, and the standard deviation of roll, were obtained. These estimates were compared with theoretical predictions, for a realistic range of parameters.

The optimum form of a small hull for the North Sea area

Authors: van Wijngaarden, A.M.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The seakeeping performance and the calm water resistance of a systematic series of 17 small ship hulls are investigated. Sea conditions typical for the North Sea area are determined and the main seakeeping responses (apart from rolling) are computed for these conditions. The relative magnitude of these responses is related to hull form parameters by the method of Bales. A regression equation with respect to hull form parameters is also proposed for the calm water resistance. Finally an optimum hull form is determined.

Statistical treatment of the geometrical characteristics of the cross section of welded T-bars during the ship’s life-time

Authors: Ivanov, L.D.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The geometrical characteristics of the cross section of the compound elements of welded T-bars are treated as stochastic variables due to the stochastic nature of the accuracy of plates cutting, plates thickness and theh corrosion wear. On this basis, the geometrical characteristics of the cross section of welded T-bars are also treated as stochastic variables during the ship’s life-time. Applying the method of linear transformation of a function of stochastic arguments, a mathematical model is developed which allows the probability of the geometrical characteristics of the cross section of welded T-bars being within any given limits to be calculated for … Show more
