Spanish term or phrase: desestiba
This is from a document about a port.

'Operaciones de carga, descarga, estiba y desestiba, trincado y almacenamiento de mercancías en contenedores o sin ellos.'

My dictionary says 'unloading' for the word desestiba, however I have already used that for the word 'descarga'. Any ideas?

Explanation:
For "estiba" I've translated it as above depending on the context. Estibar-desestibar can also mean partially loading/unloading a ship, so you might work around the problem by saying "full or partial loading/unloading". I would contact the customer just to make sure of the exact context.

HTH,

Martin

Obviously, I resorted to the antonym, i.e. stowage, tiering or stacking are possible translations for \"estiba\", so if you don\'t feel comfortable with \"full or partial loading/unloading\" as suggested, look for the proper term: unstowage, unstacking, etc.

P.S. - For \"unstowage\" I found 59 Google hits
