Law/Patents - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / shipping | | French term or phrase: consignes permanentes | Pleadings in a case in which a tanker damaged port facilities in a berthing (or docking?) manoeuvre.
"l'armement aurait dû donner des consignes permanentes au bord pour ne jamais entreprendre une manoeuvre avant d'avoir démarré les trois groupes."
This has been translated as "permanent instructions" but that looks strange to me. |
