Backbordsteigleitung Explanation: I would put this into more understandable English by saying port-side risers that is, the risers on the port side of a ship. See the link for an English reference. Reference: http://members.tripod.com/~Motomom/LHDEAWS103 |

See detail Explanation: The context is simply too vague to come up with any more than a guess. It sounds to me like this pertains to a ship, so port might very well be Backbord. Since the contractor's staff can enter the risers, it would stand to reason that this is some sort of a shaft or soffit (IOW, a structure large enough to accommodate a human body). Port = Backbord (ship) Riser = Aufstiegsschacht, Steigschacht riser (ship) = Decksunterzug per Ernst My guess would be that this might be something like backbordseitiger Aufstiegsschacht (Backbordaufstiegsschaft, etc.) or backbordseitiger Decksunterzug but it's simply impossible to say without further context. Hope it helps a bit... Ernst, WB industrielle Technik |
