Sentence
These companies have chosen [town] as their port of embarkation (where people board the ship) .
there is absolutely no need to translate the "embarquements" as well as it is quite tautological but anyway, if you really want to use the bracketed part above.
People BOARD a ship and EMBARK ON a voyage. You do NOT embark on a ship, wrong verb
