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.

Hydrostatic analysis of marine vehicles with trapped air cavities

Authors: Patel, M.H.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: This paper presents the results of a theoretical and experimental investigation of the contribution of trapped air cavities to the hydrostatic stability of marine vehicles. The trapped ah is contained within open bottom tanks mounted on the vehicles. The action of vessel motions and waves on the air forms a pneumatic compliance which serves to reduce the vessel motion response to waves. A derivation for the stiffness of the trapped air is presented and developed into a form suitable for application to hydrostatics within conventional naval architecture. Results from theory are verified by comparison with model test data for a … Show more

A modified method for calculating the wave resistance of SWATH ships

Authors: Huang, D.L.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of calculating the wave resistance of SWATH ships based on the linearized theory. A modified numerical procedure, which can simplify the computer program and save the calculation time, has been developed. Numerical results of wave resistance of two SWATH ships as weh as their towing testing results are provided in this paper. The comparison of these data shows that the present method can give fine accuracy of computation for practical purpose and is suited to further development in SWATH ship hull form design.
