TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the recent advances in the assessment of loads for ships and offshore structures with the aim to draw the overall technological landscape available for further understanding, validation and implementation by the academic and industrial communities.

TL;DR: The proposed method may assist with the identification of critical scenarios in various voyages not currently accounted for by existing accident databases, the definition of commonly agreed risk criteria to set off alarms, and the estimation of risk profile over the life cycle of fleet operations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors illustrate some of the applications of hydroelasticity theory to ships, with particular reference to recent and ongoing developments focusing on ship design applications and the effects of nonlinearities and viscous flows.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Suezmax tanker powered by the Gen4Energy 70MW Small Modular Reactor (SMR) is proposed for the purpose of demonstrating the technical feasibility of using nuclear energy on ocean-going vessels.

TL;DR: In this paper, two-dimensional and three-dimensional fluid-flexible structure interaction models are used to predict wave-induced loads and responses of a bulk carrier hull in waves, with particular emphasis on the influence of hatch openings, shear center and warping on the antisymmetric dynamics of the structure.
