Reference: "échouage" as oppsed to "échouement"

Reference information:
Dans le domaine maritime, l'échouage est une manœuvre consistant à laisser le navire se poser sur le fond de la mer généralement lorsque le niveau de la marée baisse.

L'échouage est volontaire; il s'oppose à l'échouement qui est subi, par exemple lors d'un naufrage, ou d'une manœuvre manquée.
