Italian term or phrase: intaccato

I am translating a document relating to a claim for flood damage in a boat yard. This term crops up twice and the usual translations don't fit with the context. Anyone got any ideas?

"terminata la laminazione dello scafo questo [the boat] viene trasferito a valle ed intaccato per la prosecuzione della costruzione."

"Al momento dell'avvenimento la [boat] era in fase di completamento dello scafo ed allestimento, intaccata nella parte più a valle dello scalo di costruzione sotto una copertura mobile fuori dal capannone principale."

Later on there is a variant "intaccatura":

"Essendo ancora in fase di costruzione, vi erano comunque vie d'acqua da cui, dopo il galleggiamento, lo scafo si è progressivamente riempito fino ad un livello di oltre tre metri, tornando a posarsi sull'intaccatura in una posizione non prevista e diversa da quella originale."

Explanation:
I believe the term is block - blocking - blocked. This is what you do to a boat when it is set upright in the dry dock or on land for maintenance see Google - boat blocking - for lots of examples. It seems to make sense in the context.
