Meu "mind you" foi comigo mesmo - after coming up with "freshwater" ;-) "River" strikes me as sounding more English than "fluvial" next to "vehicles" (so much so that Google only gets 2 hits for "fluvial vehicles" - and one of them comes from a Brazilian site)
Emilie Nov 11, 2005:
Estamos procurando o equivalente a "ve�culo fluvial", ou? Portanto, ve�culos utilizados em rios (em contrapartida a ve�culos utilizados no mar). Fluvial n�o tem nada a ver com lakes and the like, of course. N�o entendo seu "mind you", sorry.
Braz (asker) Nov 11, 2005:
Mind you, there's nothing "fluvial" about lakes and the like ;-&
Braz (asker) Nov 11, 2005:
Thanks - so I guess "land, freshwater and marine" would be it

water vehicle /watercraft

Water Vehicle is Yamaha's name for its versions of the sit-down personal watercraft that became popular in North America in the 1970s for their motorcycle-like ride. Unlike outboard motors that use propeller for propulsion, the propulsion system on a Water Vehicle draws in water from intakes on the hull bottom, pressurizes it and shoots it out the stern to provide a kind of jet propulsion. Water Vehicles and Yamaha's larger jet boats can be used for a wide range of marine recreation, from fun riding to towing skiers, and they are also being used increasingly today as a rescue craft for life guards in many countries.

fluvial (transport) vehicle

fluvial (transport) vehicle x maritime (transport) vehicle

If we were talking about boats, I'd rather say river boats, but in this case I believe fluvial (transport) vehicle is better.

river transport

I wouldn't use "vehicle" used for transport on water. To me, the word vehicle suggests a wheeled form of transport for use on land. I would translate this phrase as "land, river and maritime (or seagoing) transport (or means of transportation).

Sorry, ignore the word "used" after "vehicle". I meant to delete it before submitting.
