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.

The rotating cylinder rudder: The effect of cylinder roughness and cylinder gap

Authors: Edwards, P.J. | Wakeling, B.P. | Millward, A.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Tests have been made in a water tunnel to determine the effect of cylinder roughness on the performance of a model of the rotating cylinder rudder. The measurements showed that the side force developed was increased by using a rough cylinder and an additional improvement was obtained by increasing the cylinder speed ratio above the ratio found to be the optimum with a smooth cylinder. Further tests showed that increasing the gap between the cylinder and the main body of the rudder decreased the efficiency of the rudder.

Optimum screw-propellers with a large hub of finite downstream length

Authors: Braam, H.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Using a linear theory the influence of the finite downstream length of a hub on the efficiency of an optimum screw-propeller is considered. A number of propellers has been investigated by numerical means.

A functional representation of fluid actions on ships

Authors: Bishop, R.E.D. | Price, W.G. | Temarel, P.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The concepts of Maclaurin’s and Taylor’s series expansions of conventional mathematics are adapted to the general time dependent Volterra functional series. Examples of the resulting technique are discussed in relationship to the behaviour of a ship model undergoing steady tow and planar motion mechanism (PMM) oscillatory experiments. The analysis is extended to include the description of the fluid forces acting on a ship model excited in small perturbations about an existing large parasitic motion. It is shown that a linear approximation to the description of the fluid action can again be found and the theory is used to develop a … Show more
