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.

Automatic and manual control of the “tripartite” minehunter in the hover and trackkeeping modes – A preliminary design study

Authors: Brink, A.W. | Stuurman, A.M.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: In a joint venture the French, Belgium, and Netherlands Navies have designed a mine-hunter and the prototype is now under construction at a French Naval Dockyard. Precision-manoeuvring was a firm design requirement. To achieve the design goals, a thruster sizing study was carried out to establish the required thruster sizes. Automatic and manual control in the hover-mode (hovering means position keeping) were studied to compare the positioning accuracies in both cases and to establish the need for an automatic position keeping system. Navigators of all three navies performed a one week simulation exercise to define the precision in … Show more
