Ships and Offshore Structures is an international, peer-reviewed journal which provides an authoritative forum for publication and discussion of recent advances and future trends in all aspects of technology across the maritime industry.
The Journal covers the entire range of issues and technologies related to both ships (including merchant ships, war ships, polar ships etc.) and offshore structures (floating and fixed offshore platforms, offshore infrastructures, underwater vehicles etc.) with a strong emphasis on practical design, construction and operation. 

Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
Initial planning and contracting
Design
Hydrodynamics and propulsion
Structures and materials
Stability and safety
Construction and production
Operation and lifetime care
Machinery and marine engineering
Ocean environmental engineering
Arctic and polar engineering
Subsea engineering
Renewable energy
Conversion and decommissioning
Risk assessment and management
Papers of interest to Ships and Offshore Structures will thus be broad-ranging, and will include contributions concerned with principles, theoretical/numerical modelling, model/prototype testing, applications, case studies and operational records, which may take advantage of computer-aided methodologies, and information and digital technologies. Whilst existing journals deal with technologies as related to specific topics, Ships and Offshore Structures provides a systematic approach to individual technologies, to more efficiently and accurately characterize the functioning of entire systems. 

The Journal is intended to bridge the gap between theoretical developments and practical applications for the benefit of academic researchers and practising engineers, as well as those working in related governmental, public policy and regulatory bodies. 

Ships and Offshore Structures publishes articles in the form of:
Original research papers
Practitioner reports
Technology case studies
Analytical commentaries
Reviews
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
