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.

Dynamic performance of towed vessels employing nonlinear rudder control under adverse weather conditions

Authors: Krikelis, N.J. | Kavouras, D.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: A dynamic nonlinear model of a ship towed by a nonlinear elastic rope in the presence of sea current, wind and waves is formulated. Then, a nonlinear rudder controller is proposed for the towed vessel in order to limit its lateral motion in a narrow strip. The efficiency of the proposed controller is investigated through extensive simulations of three types of vessels, viz. a barge, a mariner and a tanker. The results obtained confirm that rudder control can be a great advantage in the sway and yaw motion of the towed vessel and on the tension of the elastic towrope … Show more

Fuel economy due to improvements in ship hull surface condition 1976–1986

Authors: Townsin, R.L. | Byrne, D. | Svensen, T.E. | Milne, A.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Two substantial ship hull roughness surveys at the beginning and end of the present decade show some improvement in surface condition of new ship hulls and ships in service. Equally there has been a substantial improvement in anti-fouling performance due to the introduction of ablative anti-foulings over the decade. It is shown that U.K. fleet operators are saving themselves about £30M per year due to their greater care in bottom maintenance resulting in smoother surfaces over the decade. At least as much again has been saved due to improved anti-fouling provision.
