The presented study reviews the recent advances done regarding the impact of thermal loading on the structural performance of ships. Firstly, the studies related to the mechanical and thermal properties of typical materials used in shipbuilding are outlined. Secondly, a brief introduction to the heat transfer analysis, Finite Element modelling and thermal stresses is provided. Finally, the review of papers dealing with the structural response of ship hull girder elements subjected to thermal loading is outlined. Two main groups of analyses are highlighted, i.e. structural performance at very low and very high temperatures. In each group, the possible future research needs are identified, and conclusions are drawn.
