Editorial team
The Site is managed by a small editorial team with practising maritime-engineering, naval-architecture, and regulatory-compliance backgrounds. Named authorship and individual professional profiles are being prepared for publication; in the interim, all content is published under the ShipCalculators.com editorial collective and the chief editor's accountability.
The team currently covers three review areas:
- Chief editor. Final review of every regulatory calculator and reference article. Owns editorial standards and source-hierarchy decisions.
- Naval architecture review. Reviews articles in the resistance, powering, stability, and structural-design categories.
- Regulatory compliance review. Reviews articles in the emissions, EEDI, EEXI, CII, EU MRV / EU ETS / FuelEU Maritime, and class-society notation categories.
Where a regulation calculator's accuracy is in dispute, contact editorial@shipcalculators.com to discuss directly with the chief editor.
Contributing reviewers
The team consults with practising surveyors, engine-maker engineers, and class-society engineers on a per-topic basis. Reviewers are credited where they have contributed material that exceeds a small editorial assist; passing technical review (the more common case) is not credited because the reviewer has not authored the article.
How attribution works on this Site
- Most calculator pages and short reference pages are collective work, attributed to ShipCalculators.com as publisher. The contributor list above is the editorial team behind the collective.
- Long-form wiki articles where a single contributor authored the bulk of the original draft carry a byline at the top of the article naming that contributor.
- Where a regulation calculator implements a regulation drafted by a third party (an IMO MEPC resolution, an EU directive, a class-society circular), authorship of the regulation itself is cited via the source URL, separate from the editorial work of explaining and implementing it.
Conflict-of-interest disclosure
As of 2026-05-07 no editorial-team member or contributing reviewer has a financial or commercial conflict of interest with content on the Site. The Site does not accept paid placements, sponsored articles disguised as editorial, or affiliate relationships with engine makers, class societies, or maritime training providers. See the Editorial standards page for the full independence disclosure.
