The International Ship and Offshore Structures Congress (ISSC 2015) was completed
  
The International Ship and Offshore Structures Congress (ISSC) took place in Cascais (Portugal) from September 7 till September 10, 2015.
ISSC Congress is the most well-known and respected forum of specialists of existing science conferences and symposia in the sphere of ocean structure and vessel designing.
The aim of the congress ISSC and their committees, which work between congresses is to consider the research about different scientific directions, to form a generalized assessment of their interpretations, to disseminate the results of the last researches among the international community and to identify areas for future researches, to form the propositions and measures of elaboration the calculation methods, rules of the classification societies, regulations of the International Maritime Organization and other international organizations concerned with the creation of ships and ocean engineering resources, and the development of generally accepted methods for using them in the international practice.
Lisbon Technical University (Universidade de Lisboa, Instituto Superior Tecnico) was responsible for the Congress workout; Carlos Guedes Soares was a Chairman and Yordan Gorbatov was a Secretary.
Since the 1st ISSC 1961 in Glasgow, about 200-250 chief specialists of almost all shipbuilding countries listen to the committees' reports of basic directions of shipbuilding science in all her aspects, discuss gained results and discovered problems, vote for new committee members for the next period every 3 years.
ISSC explores vessel's construction, sea constructions and any other oceans facilities that can be used for transportation, exploring and operation of sea resources (from classical bulk-carriers and drilling platforms and to yachts, battleship, floating aerodromes, floating oil storages).
