French term or phrase: déplacement au moment de l'expérience
I am tranlsating an "attestation" "pour l'attribution des symboles de classificatuib I 3/3 E - YACHT"

Under the section "pesée et p - a":

"Après mesures, le tirant d'eau moyen déterminé correspond à un déplacement au moment de l'expérience de 126.15 t."

My question is mostly about the word "déplacement" as I assume "au moment de l'expérience" is "when the experiment was carried out"
