Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / LNG tanker equipment; Mexico
Spanish term or phrase: cabeza de enganche de la brida de descarga múltiple
Taken from the Definitions section of a contract for the supply of LNG (Mexico):

"Punto de Entrega" significa el punto ubicado en los Puertos de Desembarque, en el cual la cabeza de enganche de la brida de descarga múltiple del Buque Tanque de GNL embona con la cabeza de enganche de la brida de las líneas de descarga en las Terminales de GNL.

I'm not even sure where to start - this is the only tech phrase in an otherwise innocuous contract!

Many thanks.

coupling head of the multiple discharge flange
Explanation:
This just talks about how the ocean tanker hooks up with the port facilities to discharge its cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) (= Gas Natural Licuado (GNL)).

For "brida" see https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brida_(tuberías)
"Brida es el elemento que une dos componentes de un sistema de tuberías, permitiendo ser desmontado sin operaciones destructivas, gracias a una circunferencia de agujeros a través de los cuales se montan pernos de unión."

For "cabeza de enganche" see http://elcarriloro.blogspot.com/p/terminos-ferroviarios.html
Cabeza de enganche: Extremo de la barra de acoplamiento para su enganche al vehículo. (For coupling in this case to a railroad car; but analogous to the coupling to an LNG tanker.)

hookup head of the multiple offloader flange


Explanation:
"Enganche" is basically a hook engagement, ie e. the point where something hooks up, in this case it looks like it's for lifting shipping containers. "Cabeza" is usually head and "brida" is usually some sort of flange, although if I'm not sure what it is, I might just call it "mechanism".
I advise you to wait and see if someone comes along with a better suggestion, though, as I more or less made this up.

Unloader (port equipment used to unload vessels) Lo-lo (the method for using cranes to unload ships)


Explanation:
I believe that this phrase is defining the term in the contract up to which point the shipping company is liable for the goods that they have been contracted to ship, apologies if you already knew this.

"The delivery point"
Meaning the area located within the delivery port, where the Tanker vessel's coupling gear (Ships hoist), can connect with the coupling gear (Unloader), used by the destination ports terminal.

If you go to
http://www.ppiaf.org/sites/ppiaf.org/files/documents/toolkit...
it has all the English Port and Shipping terms currently used with their meanings.

I hope hat this helps in some way.

Spelling error I hope that this helps in some way

Example sentence(s):
  • Unload the cargo using the Lo-lo method connecting the Ships hoist with the Unloading gear within the port.
