Highlights and future research areas from ISSC 2022

The International Ship and Offshore Structures Congress 2022 (ISSC 2022) held in September 2022 covered most of the essential topics related to marine and offshore structures. The proceedings of ISSC 2022 include Committee Reports for Environment, Loads, Quasi-Static Response, Dynamic Response, Ultimate strength, Fatigue and Fracture, Design Principles and Criteria, Design Methods, Accidental Limit States, Experiment Methods, Materials and Fabrication Technology, Offshore Renewable Energy, Special Vessels, Ocean Space Utilization, Structural Longevity and Subsea Technology [1,2,3]. While the nature of ISSC Committee work is focused on state-of-the-art review based on the latest publications, the future work and research areas, which are most relevant to stimulate more R&D effort, are presented here, focusing on Loads, Quasi-static response, Fatigue and fracture, Experimental method, Material and fabrication technology, Offshore renewable energy, Structural longevity, and Subsea technology.
