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.

Abstract: In the past 20 years, small towed flexible barges have been used to transfer liquid cargoes. This paper concerns the next generation of flexible barges comparable in size to conventional oil tankers. As the basis for the economic analysis, preliminary design graphs are presented for selecting barge length and radius for stable towing. These graphs are used to develop preliminary designs, estimate resistance and the required tug horsepower. Then for deadweights of 30,000, 70,000, and 120,000 tons economic comparisons are made between the flexible barge-tugboat and the conventional tanker over a 4,000 mile voyage. The economic cost of transport …ECT shows the flexible barge offers cost savings in the small DWT capacities and when the ballast trip is considered. Analyses with an extended economic model which includes the terminal operation also show the effectiveness of the flexible barge. These comparisons indicate the highest savings are for the barge of 30,000 dwt. Show more
