Dutch term or phrase: hermotorisatie
" XX kan een pak referenties voorleggen wat betreft ontwerp en uitvoeren van nieuwe machinekamers en **hermotorisaties**." Het betreft een brochure van een Belgisch bedrijf in de haven van Zeebrugge dat zich bezighoudt met scheepsmechanica, -reparatie en -afbouw. Ik krijg genoeg hits voor het woord, maar krijg geen duidelijk beeld bij wat het nu is. Ik weet niet of het gebruikt kan worden als synoniem voor revisie/overhalen (van een motor), termen die beide in de tekst voorkomen. Kan iemand mij vertellen wat hermotorisatie eigenlijk is? De motor vervangen, reviseren, afstellen?

repowering
Explanation:
It sounds to me like this is repowering. A pretty full description is given in the yach-designer reference. As you will see it is pretty thorough and includes several aspects of improving and/or replacing boat engines for different purposes.

Thanks! I have chosen your answer to be the best, because Internet research of both terms tells me that repowering is a common term used in combination with a vessel.

remotoring


Explanation:
Hermotorisatie is volgens mij geen revisie van een motor, maar een vervanging door een krachtiger/moderner exemplaar (dat verschilt van de originele motor).
