About

BRODOGRADNJA

Journal BRODOGRADNJA was launched in 1950 as an expression of growing enthusiasm and ambition for the promotion of the shipping and shipbuilding tradition of Croatia.
Its primary focus was on research and development serving the fast developing shipbuilding industry.
The permanently growing shipbuilding industry took over the publishing of BRODOGRADNJA in 1981.
In 1982 BRODOGRADNJA became a bilingual international journal, i.e. contributions were written either in Croatian or English.
The Croatian shipbuilding research institute ─ Brodarski Institute became the publisher of BRODOGRADNJA in 1992.
During this successful period of growth, BRODOGRADNJA covered the following regularly scheduled sections: peer reviewed scientific and professional papers, current topics and news from the shipbuilding industry, reviews, and worldwide maritime news.
Since the beginning of the year 2014, BRODOGRADNJA has been edited and published by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture of the University of Zagreb.
BRODOGRADNJA is an international scientific peer reviewed open-access journal with a focus on the theory and practice of naval architecture, marine engineering and ocean engineering serving the shipbuilding, shipping, and offshore industry and related topics.
