Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Fisheries / Part of trawler boat

Spanish term or phrase: Pórtico

From the information I can find, this is a type of frame on a trawler from which the trawl doors are hung when they are not in use:

"El Pórtico: Mientras que la embarcación navega y no pesca las puertas deflectoras cuelgan del pórtico."

Any ideas?

Reference information:
If you go to:
http://www.archive.org/stream/modernfishinggea034788mbp/mode...
and do a search on "portico" you'll find a set of three parallel texts in Fr/En/Es, jumbled up and with lots of typos as it's an OCRed version of a magazine - the texts are the abstract summarising a paper describing problems arising from "stem" (ie "stern" - typo) trawling operations with small vessels."
"portico basculante" matches up to "tillable (ie "tiltable"gantry")

At
http://www.fishsafe.org.nz/guidelines/?section=2&chapter=10
there's a description of operations:
"# When trawl doors are recovered keep well clear until they are hard against the boat and their movement has stopped.
# Make sure there is clear communication with the winch driver when hooking or unhooking the trawl doors.
# Watch out, particularly in rough weather, as the boards may be flung inboard of the gantry.
# Check that hanging chains (and G-links or sister clips) used to clip the doors to the gantry are in good condition. "

At
http://www.maib.gov.uk/cms_resources/gemma-fidelis.pdf
there's another description of the arrangements for attaching the trawl doors to the gantry on page 6
