boom operating/maneuvering
This would be pertinent on a transport ship with cranes and stuff.... please more context when possible.
Often "relating to [topic x]" etc is not enough to anything achieve near certainty

just to clarify: cranes have booms (=bommar) which are normally movable in order to move cargo.

Note from asker:
| hi Mårten, thanks, but I really didn't have much to go on to add context. It isn't about cranes though. I am going to close this, as it is too unclear. but thanks for your help, as always. |

wasted journey
"bomkörning" is often used (unofficially) in the context of taxi companies, service companies and delivery companies driving out to customers only to find no one at home, hence "wasted journey", although not a direct translation, seems fairly appropriate in this context.
