Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Ships in Waves: Motions and Operational Impacts delivers a structured and in-depth exploration of the core theories and phenomena governing vessel interactions with wave environments. Progressing from fundamental concepts to elaborate formulations, the book supports gradual engagement with complex material, facilitating confident physical understanding. Topics include ship oscillations (both in calm water and under wave excitation), stochastic wave modeling, responses in regular and irregular seas, and the consequences of extreme motions-such as dynamic loads, rolling, slamming, and capsizing.
Organized modularly, the contents allow selective study and targeted review based on the reader’s interest or specialization, uniquely bridging the divide between intricate technical knowledge and engineering application. In addition to the essential theoretical framework, cutting-edge advances and rarely covered aspects are also addressed, including wave energy converters and a critical review of the new IMO intact stability criteria.
