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 approximation of spatial stability and transition calculations of a laminar boundary

Authors: Kuiper, G.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: An approximation of the spatial stability charts of Wazzan et al. [1] is given and an assessment of this approximation is made on six axisymmetric headforms.

Free-surface effects on the hydrodynamic coefficients of a laterally oscillating slender body at forward speed

Authors: Utnes, T.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: In order to predict the manoeuvring motion of a surface-piercing body in waves, one needs to know the hydrodynamic forces acting upon the body. The present paper describes a method to calculate these hydrodynamic forces on a laterally oscillating slender body at forward speed. The method is especially suited to take account of the free-surface effects, since the solution obtained satisfies the complete linearized free-surface conditions. Calculations are presented for various bodies at different speeds and frequencies, and the results generally indicate a clear improvement over ‘ordinary’ strip theory for cases where forward-speed effects are important.

Structural developments in underwater operations

Authors: Faulkner, D.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Before TNO-IWECO was formed the only significant underwater structures were manned submersibles (mainly observational research), military submarines and caisson workings for bridge and pier foundations. For this paper ‘significant’ is taken to cover any underwater vehicle or installation where structural considerations feature strongly in design, construction or installation. Nowadays, the field must also include working submersibles, seabed habitats, a range of one-atmosphere wet and dry seabed systems mainly associated with offshore hydrocarbon activities, diving bells and transfer capsules. In addition, some of the drilling and production platforms sometimes have temporary or permanent buoyancy tanks often made of stiffened thin shells … Show more
