Spanish term or phrase: traslación transversal preponderante
From a technical text on a new LNG facility, in a section on berthing. It's the title for a table showing the effect of wind speed, wave height, favourability of weather conditions etc:

Valores de Vb, para atraque lateral o de costado mediante traslación transversal preponderante con ayuda de remolcadores.

prevalently used cross(-)over


Explanation:
... atraque lateral o de costado : berthing sideways or alongside.

traslación transversal : cross-loading of products including LNG or cross-docking of goods.

mediante traslación transversal preponderante : or, by means of overriding (prevalent) use of cross(-)over to avoid the ambiguity of overriding the use of such.


Example sentence(s):
  • Connect the terminal loading arms to the LNG cross-overs and one vapour crossover. This operation is normally done by the terminal personnel.
  • Only LNG carriers that have successfully passed the Ship Approval Procedure (5 steps) may dock at the LNG terminal.

dominant transverse movement


Explanation:
Son términos que corresponden al CÁLCULO DE LA ENERGÍA CINÉTICA
DESARROLLADA POR UN BUQUE EN LAS OPERACIONES DE ATRAQUE.
Vb= Velocidad de aproximación del buque al atraque en el momento del impacto.
Utilización de medios auxiliares en la maniobra de atraque como
remolcadores, amarras u otros dispositivos de ayuda al atraque reduce la velocidad de aproximación.

Those are terms that correspond to the calculation of kinetic energy
DEVELOPED BY A SHIP IN DOCKING OPERATIONS.
Vb= Speed of the approach of the vessel to berth at impact. The use of auxiliary means in docking operations such as tugs, moorings, or other docking aids reduces the speed of approximation.

Reference information:
Transverse thrust
Transverse thrust is the tendency for a forward or astern running propeller to move the stern to starboard or port. Transverse thrust is caused by interaction between the hull, propeller and rudder. The effect of transverse thrust is a slight tendency for the bow to swing to port on a ship with a right-handed propeller turning ahead.

Transverse thrust is often used to help bring the ship’s stern alongside during berthing. When a propeller is put astern on a ship moving forward at speed, the initial effect of transverse thrust is slight. However, as the ship’s forward motion decreases, the effect of transverse thrust increases. It is essential for a master to understand just how much effect transverse thrust has on his particular ship.
