Swedish term

närfart

Non-PRO Swedish to English Bus/Financial Law: Taxation & Customs Swedish tax laws (seafarers)
Swedish tax laws (seafarers in this case). It's the opposite of 'fjärrfart' (long haul), but I don't know exactly what it means because I know little about shipping - is it 'local journeys' or something similar?
Thanks in advance,
Helen

short sea shipping (Baltic Sea)

Sjöfartsverket definierar närfart som fart till och från hamnar i Östersjön eller farvatten som har förbindelse med Östersjön (vissa begränsningar gäller). http://www.sjofartsverket.se/upload/SJÖFS/004-030.pdf

EU kallar detta för short sea shipping (på svenska närmast närsjöfart), vilket du kanske kan använda om du översätter för europeiska sammanhang. I USA tror jag att de förstår short sea shipping som "inre fart", alltså sjöfart på kanaler och skyddade vatten.
