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.

Cavitation observation techniques in the NSMB depressurized towing tank

Authors: Boshuisen, D.C. | Versmissen, A.G.P.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: A review is given of the cavitation observation techniques as used in the NSMB Depressurized Towing Tank. Special attention is paid to those observation and recording techniques which are suitable for studying the time-dependent behaviour of propeller cavitation. The paper also includes the description of a method, based on stereo photogrammetry, to determine the topology of the cavity on a propeller blade.

Estimation of power of ships

Authors: Harvald, Sv.Aa.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Diagrams for estimating the power required for the propulsion of merchant ships have been constructed. The diagrams give the power as a function of block coefficient, displacement, length displacement ratio and velocity.

The effect of heel on a fin keel yacht’s hull

Authors: Millward, A.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Experiments have been carried out on a model of a Tempest, a light displacement fin keel yacht, to measure the effects of heel angle on the hydrodynamic forces produced by the hull. The measurements showed that a positive heel does not significantly affect the hydrodynamic forces, except at high speeds, although the overall performance of the yacht could be expected to be changed because of the reduction in sail forces. An unusual effect was measured in the low and medium speed regime where the results showed that the performance could be improved by allowing the hull to heel to … Show more
