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.

Simulation and stability of ship towing

Authors: Bernitsas, M.M. | Kekridis, N.S.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: A nonlinear time dependent mathematical model is used to simulate the surge, sway and yaw motions and study the stability of a vessel towed by a nonlinear elastic rope. The five Routh-Hurwitz stability criteria for the corresponding linear time invariant system are studied and it is shown that only two can be critical in ship towing. The sensitivity of the stability surfaces generated by the reduced criteria is studied and the parameters which mostly affect the local stability of towing systems are identified. Global stability characteristics of the towed vessel trajectory are also revealed by finding the critical points of … Show more

Structural damage analysis of a fast ship due to bow flare slamming

Authors: Yamamoto, Y. | Iida, K. | Fukasawa, T. | Murakami, T. | Arai, M. | Ando, A.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: A container ship suffered serious structural damages caused in her fore body by slamming on a heavy sea in the North Pacific Ocean in January, 1978. She was in the fully laden condition on a voyage to Kobe from Oakland, California, U.S.A. A long brittle crack propagated in the fore and aft direction in the shell plating of the flare part on the starboard side. The inner structures, such as longitudinals, web frames and side stringers, on the side shell of the same side were collapsed, and the deck and shell plating on the port side was buckled. Furthermore, … Show more
