Abstract
This paper summarizes results from a two-year project sponsored by the Ship Structure Committee to develop a procedure for definition of advanced Marine Structural Integrity Programs (MSIP) for commercial ships that would include more efficient inspection, more economical and safer operation, and more effective maintenance. This procedure was to be based on the recent developments in Airframe Structural Integrity Programs (ASIP) for commercial and military aircraft. The MSIP procedure suggests a sequence of technical and organizational developments to better ensure the integrity and durability of ship structures during their useful lifetimes. Particular emphasis is given to large crude-oil carriers (tankers). Notwithstanding this focus, it is felt that the MSIP procedure is applicable to most commercial ships with few modifications.
