heal.abstract	This opening article of the issue is intended to provide a review of the field of nonlinear ship dynamics and to demonstrate the importance of the subject in the context of naval architecture. A list of relevant research topics that have received attention in recent years is included in the first section of the paper. This sets the scene for a brief discussion about the content and contribution of the articles that make up the Theme Issue. In order to facilitate understanding by non-specialists, we include an outline of the general concepts of nonlinear dynamics. Furthermore, we provide a detailed review of the evolution of ship research of the considered type since the 1970s, including a rather lengthy bibliography. We discuss the latest ideas about ship capsize and we include a special section summarizing the recent advances with regard to the mechanisms of ship capsize in astern seas. We close the article by offering some ideas about future directions for research.	en
