The CMS keeps abreast of major technical issues of interest to federal agencies and national programs In which marine structures research can have significant positive impacts. Dunng its 1992 meetings, the committee discussed agency research and development programs that were presented at the Ship Structure Subcommittee spring meeting; the areas of national interest that might be affected by CMS research recommendations; and special technical topics concerned with safety, reliability, structural maintenance, industry competitiveness,

In September 1993, the CMS held its annual joint meeting with the Ship Structure Subcommittee to discuss research areas of most Interest to sponsoring agencies, the strategic plan, and the future financial status of the SSC and its potential effect on CMS efforts. The CMS recognizes that research in ship structures is being sponsored independently by agencies with relatively large funds compared with those available to the SSC.

As mentioned earlier, each project recommended herein is related to at least one specific goal and strategy. But more significantly, rather than present a group of isolated projects, the CMS has grouped the recommended projects into specific thrust areas that support of the overall strategic plan, thus providing a framework to consolidate and focus the efforts.

A research program initiated by the SSC to develop design criteria for marine structures is addressing uncertainties in loads. Many other research projects in structural reliability supported by the SSC either have been or are being completed.
