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.

Beaufort wind scale and calculated numerical values of wind speed and wind pressure curves above sea level

Authors: Petkovic, I.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: An outline of modifications of Beaufort wind scale from 1805 to 1946 are given. There are formulas dealing with mutual, dependence of wind force, speed and pressure of wind in compliance with Beaufort wind scale from 1946. The tables show: numerical values of the wind speed corresponding to four different Beaufort wind scales (of 1874, 1913, 1926 and 1946) and the comparison of Beaufort wind scale of 1926 with that of 1946; numerical values of speed and wind pressure on the ship which depend on wind force expressed by Beaufort number; the values of wind speed curve and wind pressure … Show more

Marine propulsion, with special reference to the transmission of power

Authors: Archer, Simon

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The author first presents an analysis of the world merchant fleet, some 11.000 ships, classified with Lloyd’s Register of Shipping on 31st December 1962, with respect to such variables as type of prime mover, horsepower range, number of screws, engine location, and type of transmission. This is compared with a similar analysis of the classed fleet as it was on 31st December 1957; the comparison reveals some interesting trends. The principal categories of transmission system are then broadly discussed with brief historical notes and illustrative examples from modern practice. The lecture concludes with some general remarks on systems … Show more
