Russian term or phrase: нормальные составляющие скоростей
Нормальные составляющие скоростей подхода судов к причалам при их швартовке в соответствии с требованиями СНиП 2.06.04-82 не должны превышать 0,22; 0,15; 0,13; 0,11; 0,10; 0,09 и 0,08 м/с при водоизмещениях судов соответственно до 2; 5; 10; 20; 40; 100 и 200 тыс. т.

Speeds in particular directions are the "components" making up the overall velocity - or something like that?? It's all right to say "velocity components" in English, as far as I know, but I'd be interested to hear any informed opinions on this.

Apart from that, I would particularly like to know how an engineer understands the word нормальные in this context.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks. I had lost sight of the fact that normal/нормальный can mean perpendicular.

agree  Ed Friesen: They appear to mean the normal component of the vessel's velocity. (I.e. how quickly the distance to the peer is decreasing.)
