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.

Analysis and prediction of flat bottom slamming impact of advanced marine vehicles in waves

Authors: Kaplan, P.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The problem of analytical-computational determination of the slamming forces (and resulting structural loads) arising from impacts on the water surface of the flat bottom centerbody surfaces of advanced marine vehicles (such as hullborne SES, SWATH and similar catamaran vessels) in waves is treated in this paper. The basic method of analysis uses the concept of fluid momentum theory, with a three-dimensional model that eliminates the infinite force behavior found by conventional two-dimensional strip theory methods applied to impact problems of flat surfaces. Comparison of theoretical results with model test data for regular sinusoidal head sea conditions shows generally good agreement. … Show more

An investigation into the feasibility of a human powered rowing hydrofoil

Authors: Charlton, G. | Denman, C.P.R. | Millward, A.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The possibility of using normal rowing as the power system for a hydrofoil vessel has been investigated and shown to be feasible for a championship level oarsman using experimental data for the hydrofoil configuration measured in a re-circulating water channel. For an average oarsman however it was shown that foilborne motion was only just possible.
