EMBARCACIÓN DE REPRESENTACIÓN

Spanish to English Other Construction / Civil Engineering
EMBARCACIÓN DE APOYO A LA FLOTA Y REPRESENTACIÓN

Title of a maual describing specs for a boat.

The living qurters are pretty large and seem to be quite comfortable, I wonder if 'representación' could refer to transporting dignataries?

Any opinions?

Peer comment(s):

neutral Mark Solomon : I understand the sense you are getting at, but vessel is a specifically military term, and in naval terms there is not such thing as a dignitary or stately boat !

What are you talking about ? a "vessel" is a ship, not necessary military ! I give up.........

dignitary boat (ship, vessel)/ stately boat (ship, vessel)

I think they are talking about a stately boat (ship, vessel) and staterooms aboard the same.

My second idea would be "dignitary boat (vessel, ship)". Hope it helps.

Dignitary boat and her staterooms... a possible combination.

owner's agency

I think the correct reading of this phrase should be "embarcación de apoyo a la flota" and "representación" as two different things. "Representación" means acting on behalf of the owner and that is what an agency does.

Hope this helps.

Logistics and Representation ship

The first part is easy 'fleet support ship' - as in Fleet Auxiliary in RN terms, so a logistics ship.

The second part is harder to render into English - the sense is a ship which shows the flag - represents its country/company/owners in that sense, so will have accommodation and facilities for VIPs and high level entertainment. Like a company or Royal Yacht.

In the additional context given we are talking about Guest Quarters on board ship.

The problem in translating is that English terms would be more specific, so it either sounds stilted or does not convey the full sense of the original. The full context needs to be known to get the specific term.
