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.

Computer techniques for propeller blade section design

Authors: Kerwin, J.E.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The development of a numerical lifting-surface computational procedure for marine propellers is presented. This work differs from earlier procedures in providing for the exact specification of a blade reference surface with arbitrary skew, rake and radial pitch variation, independent specification of the pitch of the wake, inclusion of radial induced velocities, and determination of forces in a manner independent of lifting-line theory. Numerical convergence of the method is demonstrated for a five-bladed highly skewed propeller with forward rake. A set of lifting-surface calculations for this propeller are given to illustrate the relative importance of various geometrical parameters.

Propeller design concepts

Authors: van Gunsteren, L.A. | Pronk, C.

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: The paper discusses design problems relating to high-speed propellers, with special reference to methods of dealing with cavitation and propeller-induced vibrations. Part I of the paper provides guidance in preliminary design phases when basic design parameters can still be changed. Part II describes the techniques to be used in the blade shaping process.
