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.

On the truncation of spectra

Authors: Bishop, R.E.D. | Price, W.G.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: A rational method of truncating a Pierson and Moskowitz wave spectrum ϕ ξ ξ ( ω ) of wave elevation is explained. The fourth order moment of the spectrum, m 4 = ∫ 0 ∞ ω 4 ϕ ξ ξ ( ω ) d ω is rendered finite and its value is given, once the cut-off frequency has been selected. The implications of the theory as regards bandwidth parameter are examined and the particular features of … Show more

Bank suction cancelled by rudder deflection: a theoretical model

Authors: Hess, F.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: This paper deals with the steady hydrodynamic problem of a single-rudder ship moving parallel to a vertical wall in shallow water. The ship-rudder system is considered as a wing with a flap. The main result of this theoretical study is that the sway force and yaw moment due to the presence of the wall (“bank suction”) can be cancelled by giving the rudder a suitable deflection towards the wall, at virtually zero yaw angle.

Application of the describing function technique to nonlinear rolling in random waves

Authors: Flower, J.O. | Mackerdichian, S.K.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: In this paper we examine the nonlinear equations of ship rolling from a control engineering viewpoint by considering the ship as represented by a feedback system. This enables the powerful describing function technique to be brought to bear on the problem. We discuss, in detail, the extension of this technique due to West et al. [2] which can account for so-called “frequency distortion of the spectrum” in nonlinear systems and point to evidence which appears to show this happening in practice.
