Spanish term or phrase: P.P.I.B.
I am translating a ship registry document.

Under "MOTORES INSTALADOS" it says:

Clase Marca-Modelo
P.P.I. B. CUMMINS-QSB 5.9

Does anyone know what P.P.I.B. stands for please?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Helena.

agree  Charles Davis: In context, just "Inboard". There don't seem to be any sources that prove exactly what PP stands for, but it's something to do with propulsion, clearly, and in practice it's redundant in English.
