15th International Symposium on Practical Design of Ships and Other Floating Structures (PRADS 2022) – Book of Abstracts

PREFACE: The 15th PRADS (International Symposium on Practical Design of Ships and Other Floating Structures) is jointly organized by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (UNIZAG FSB), of the University of Zagreb, Croatia, and Bureau Veritas, Paris, France, from 9th to 13th October 2022 in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Also, PRADS 2022 is organized under the auspices of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Department of Technical Sciences, as a highest scientific and artistic institution in the Republic of Croatia. Since the last PRADS in 2019 in Yokohama, Japan, the world has been completely transformed by COVID-19 pandemic. Besides the extensive change to both our professional and private lives, the pandemic has confirmed that the reliability of transportation chains is one of the key aspects of our existence. The maritime industry has therefore probably never been as important as it is now. On the other hand, the new challenges over the last decade, for instance environmental concerns and fluctuations in energy prices, have contributed to the current highly complex design and operation framework in the maritime sector. Emission reduction targets push all parties involved in ship and offshore business to offer highly competitive products, simultaneously considering safety, functionality and economy. In spite of the described challenging framework both for marine sector and organization of scientific conferences in general, PRADS 2022 follows the excellence and success of previous conferences and is being held as a conference with 190 in-person and 20 online attendees. More than 230 abstracts were accepted from authors all over the world, and all received papers have been reviewed by at least two recognized experts. Beside 145 technical papers, that have been accepted, the conference programme includes general presentation of Croatian shipbuilding over the time, prepared by Ivo Senjanović and Neven Hadžić from UNIZAG FSB, as well as 4 plenary lectures given by leading researchers in the field: Odd Magnus Faltinsen, Milovan Perić, Jørgen Juncher Jensen and Quentin Derbanne. The conference programme indicates that all above mentioned challenging issues related to the maritime sector are nowadays being considered by leading institutions in the world and confirms PRADS 2022 as an excellent event to discuss new ideas and future research directions. Finally, we would like to express our gratitude to all plenary speakers, authors, coauthors, reviewers and session chairs for their valuable contributions to the excellence and success of PRADS 2022.
