peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1fleet operators Explanation: I think it's a typo for "flotistas". Relevant uses of "slotista" all seem to emanate from the www.grupocontenosa.com site. It's a very unconvincing word, but "flotistas" makes good sense, especially since it comes just after "armadores". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2013-02-22 15:50:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you'll allow me a brief rant, one thing that really gets my goat is people who post a pure guess with confidence 5 and no explanation. This, I am pretty sure, is what happened in the previous question. The person who posted "gestores de derechos de operaciones portuarias", with the explanation "lenguage de agentes aduanales", in the previous question on this term, could conceivably have had some basis for saying so, but I am very sceptical. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2013-02-22 15:54:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I got that muddled. The answer was "los que usan espacios sobrantes / compartidos", which must surely be a guess based on the meaning of "slot". "Gestores de derechos de operationes portuarias" was the glossary entry, presumably another guess on the part of the asker. Really, this kind of irresponsibility is breathtaking. |

(container slot brokers) Explanation: This would make sense. Hopefully your context will help. Triton Works, Container Slot Broking Description: Triton Works owns and runs the XChange, a highly efficient, web based information system for selling and buying ocean freight spot market capacity. Offering an array of freight broker, freight forwarding, logistics, and related services. http://dawhois.com/site/tritonworks.net.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2013-02-22 16:40:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- That should be (container) slot broker. This is certainly used in English. Not many references on the Internet for slotista though. It may well be a sort of made-up word in Spanish. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2013-02-22 16:46:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- it comes after armadores, strengthening CD's interpretation but just before consignatarios, or shipping agents, which strenthens this one. I think they made it up as a reference to people who deal in slots, or slot brokers. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2013-02-22 16:51:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Global Slot Network Limited: Private Company Information ... investing.businessweek.com/.../snapshot.asp?... - Traducir esta página Global Slot Network Limited provides container slot broking service.

10 hrs confidence:
slot charterer Explanation: This is a pure guess, backed up with a little googling, I believe it refers to the practice of chartering "slots" on a vessel as opposed to the whole vessel. I don't claim any knowledge in the area, but it might be worth looking into. |

| Reference: Refs. - findings only. Reference information: Findings only. However, I leave you with the references found. That is not to say that I agree with "slottists" as a suitable translation for "slotistas"; Phil has pointed out that it is perhaps a made up word; nor can I find a translation for the Italian word "slottista/slottisti".
