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 contractingDesignHydrodynamics and propulsionStructures and materialsStability and safetyConstruction and productionOperation and lifetime careMachinery and marine engineeringOcean environmental engineeringArctic and polar engineeringSubsea engineeringRenewable energyConversion and decommissioningRisk assessment and managementPapers 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 papersPractitioner reportsTechnology case studiesAnalytical commentariesReviewsAll published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.

《船舶和海上結構物》是一本國際同行評議的期刊，它提供了一個權威論壇，用于出版和討論整個海洋行業技術各方面的最新進展和未來趨勢。該雜志涵蓋了與船舶（包括商船、戰船、極地船等）和海上結構物（浮動和固定式海上平臺、海上基礎設施、水下航行器等）有關的所有問題和技術，并著重于實際設計、建造和操作。具體關注領域包括但不限于：初步規劃和承包設計流體力學與推進結構和材料穩定性和安全性建設和生產手術和終身護理機械與海洋工程海洋環境工程北極與極地工程海底工程可再生能源轉換和退役風險評估與管理因此，對船舶和海上結構物感興趣的論文將涉及范圍廣泛，將包括有關原理、理論/數值建模、模型/原型測試、應用、案例研究和操作記錄的貢獻，這些貢獻可能利用計算機輔助方法、信息和數字技術。雖然現有的期刊處理與特定主題相關的技術，但船舶和海上結構物為單個技術提供了一種系統方法，以更有效和準確地描述整個系統的功能。該雜志旨在彌合理論發展與實際應用之間的差距，以造福學術研究人員和執業工程師，以及在相關政府、公共政策和監管機構工作的人員。船舶和海上結構物以以下形式出版文章：原始研究論文從業者報告技術案例研究分析評論評論本雜志所有發表的研究文章都經過了嚴格的同行評審，通過最初的編輯篩選和獨立專家評審的匿名評審。
