POLISH MARITIME RESEARCH is a scientific journal with a worldwide circulation. This journal is published quarterly (four times a year) by Gdansk University of Technology (GUT). On September 1994, the first issue of POLISH MARITIME RESEARCH was published.The main objective of this journal is to present original research, innovative scientific ideas, and significant findings and applications in the field of: Naval Architecture, Ocean Engineering and Underwater Technology. The scope of the journal covers selected issues related to all phases of product lifecycle and corresponding technologies for offshore floating and fixed structures and their components. The scope of the journal covers selected issues related to:offshore floating and fixed structures and their components such as:all types of vessels and their equipmentfixed and floating offshore units and their componentsautonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and remotely operated vehicle (ROV)phases of their lifecycle and corresponding technologies such as: concept development; design; production and manufacturing; use and maintenance; decommissioning and recycling. The offshore floating and fixed structures include:offshore floating and fixed drilling and production platformsoffshore floating and fixed wind farmsoffshore wave energy extraction technologiesfoundation engineeringunderwater components (risers, cables and moorings)infrastructure elements (pipelines and pipeline terminals). We welcome submissions from these fields in the following technical topics (but not limited to:):ship hydrodynamics: buoyancy and stability, ship resistance and propulsion, etc.structural integrity of ship and offshore unit structures: materials, welding, fatigue and fracture, etc.marine equipment: ship and offshore unit power plants, overboarding equipment, etc.
