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.

An investigation into the course stability of the B.S.R.A. 0.85 block coefficient methodical series form

Authors: Clarke, D.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The report describes experiments carried out on the rotating-arm facility at the Admiralty Experiment Works, Haslar, to investigate the course stability of the B.S.R.A. 0.85 CB form. The fibreglass model, which was fitted with a propeller, was attached to the arm in such a way that it was free to heave, pitch, and roll, but constrained in the surge, sway, and yaw modes. The forces and moments acting on the model were measured with the model set at 48 and 80 ft radii. The side-slip angle was varied from minus 8 deg to plus 8 deg in steps … Show more

Oscillatory wave forces on small bodies

Authors: Hooft, J.P.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: An approximation is deduced for the calculation of the wave force on a body which dimensions are small relative to the wave length. The theory only discusses the oscillatory part of the wave force. The forces on a vertical circular cylinder are calculated by means of this approximation and are compared with the exact solution.

The low-frequency drifting force on a floating body in waves

Authors: Verhagen, J.H.G. | van Sluijs, M.F.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The drift speed of a floating structure in a seaway appears to be a slowly varying function of time. If this structure is kept on station by means of anchor lines, the natural sway and surge periods of this mass-spring system are so large that it can be excited by the low-frequency drifting force, resulting in large motion amplitudes of the floater. The origin of the low-frequency drifting force is discussed and the functional relationship with characteristics of the sea is derived theoretically. The theoretical explanation is verified by model test results. An adequate agreement between theory and experiment is … Show more
