Norwegian term or phrase: landligge
Subject: climate change impacts on sea transport. "landligge" is when ships/boats are unable to sail due to bad weather conditions, and have to remain in harbour. Is there an equivalent noun for the same phenomenon in English?

be weatherbound
Explanation:
Be weatherbound= ligge værfast- and I suppose this is what happens when ships have "landligge" due to bad weather conditions- I have not found a direct translation for "landligge", but I guess my option could be convenient to use.

Agree with Roar, this is probably the closest we'll get, and the weather factor is important to my context. Thanks to all!

neutral  Kent Johnson (X): "Time ashore" would apply to the crew, but a vessel would be weatherbound.

  -> I was thinking the same thing, but weather bound would be "værfast".

remain in port/moored


Explanation:
I know this isn't a nice convenient compound but I don't believe I've come across one. I would simply explain the term, e.g. remain in port/harbour-bound due to bad weather.
There is a term, put ship to anchor, but that could be at sea too. Other than that, I should consult a salty sea dog.

agree  Roald Toskedal: I think this is the closest one, as in most cases the 'landligge' would be caused by bad weather...

Explanation:
Oversettelsen/forklaringen er fra Einar Haugens norsk-engelske ordbok. Denne ordboken ble laget i USA, og redaktøren, professor Einar Haugen, var amerikaner, i hvert fall mer amerikaner enn nordmann. Når heller ikke denne ordboken bringer noen egentlig oversettelse av "landligge", må det bety at engelsk – i hvert fall amerkansk engelsk – ikke har noe ord for det.
