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 power savings by an auxiliary kite propulsion system

Authors: Naaijen, P. | Koster, V. | Dallinga, R.P.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: A performance study of auxiliary wind propulsion for commercial ships by means of a traction kite is presented. It is not focusing on practical design aspects of such a system and therefore not concluding on practical feasibility, rather it gives an indication of the amount of fuel saving in various environmental conditions assumed that the system is working practically. An estimate is presented of the delivered traction force of a kite. Depending on the apparent wind direction and wind speed, this kite force will cause a drift angle of the ship, resulting in additional resistance. This effect is taken … Show more
