unballasting/load shedding/relief

Explanation:
It seems that their system facilitates exchanges between sites to avoid immobilization of stock and assure availability.

unballasting

Explanation:
This was my natural instinct when I saw the term but then when I read the text I wasnt sure anymore.

I found this on the net
http://www.wordreference.com/enfr/unballasting
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4392064.html

I've heard unballasting and offloading be used for cargo in the past.

I hope this helps a bit.

The other word I though of for délestage was 'advisory deversion' which I recently used in an article regarding traffic circulation. I doubt that this is useful, but I thought I'd let you know.
