The SSC mission is to enhance the safety of life at sea, promote technology and education advancements in marine transportation, and to protect the marine environment. This will be done through advocating, participating in, and supporting cooperative research and development in Structural Design, Life Cycle Risk Management of Marine Structures, and Production Technologies.
WHAT'S NEW

  • The Ship Structure Committee is soliciting papers for presentation at the SSC 2011 Symposium to be held in conjunction with National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) International March 2011 Corrosion Symposium, .Corrosion 2011..[NEW]

    • NACE is the largest professional association dedicated to protecting people, assets, and the environment from the impact of corrosion. The association offers technical training and certification programs, sponsors conferences, and produces industry standards, reports, publications, and software to prevent and mitigate corrosion.

      Presentations are invited for the following tracks:
    • Corrosion Control
    • Ballast Water
    • Void Coatings
    • Goal Based Standards
    • Anti-Fouling Coatings

      Subject areas covered in each NACE track include, but are not limited, to the following:
    • Initiatives and focus on corrosion control
    • Government and private sector programs
    • New policies, regulations, and legislations
    • Cost of corrosion control
    • Corrosion Management
    • Corrosion Research
    • Corrosion Mechanisms
    • Deterioration modeling
    • Accelerated testing in simulated environments
    • Emerging monitoring and evaluation techniques
    • Innovative Materials and construction practices
    • Cathodic protection
    • Corrosion inhibitors
    • Coatings and paints
    • Impact of corrosion control on life cycle cost
    • Role of corrosion control in sustainable development

  • Requirements: Paper Title, Author(s) name, affiliation, address, email telephone and fax numbers.

    • Abstracts are not to exceed 250 words.

    Deadlines: Abstracts are due to Mrs. Jeannette Grant by June 15, 2010. Authors will be notified as to acceptance by June 30, 2010.
