Ships, Sailing, Maritime / Ships
Swedish term or phrase: hänga i volymen
In a marine report, in the context of "Barbordssida kunde inte
undersokas eftersom fartyget hanger i volymen, vilket innebar for stor risk for dykaren." This refers to a ship that capsized being towed to the shore and lying on its side.

It features twice in the report so doesn't seem to be a mistake.

Explanation:
hänga or hangar without an accent - it could make a difference.

Ba/r/bordssida kunde inte undersökas eftersom fartyget hanger i volymen : the port side could not be explored -> investigated -> with the vessel being - as is - stuck in the displacement -> the volume of the vessel below the waterline.

PS truncated discussion entries - failing to distinguish, for shipping and notarial master's protesting purposes, even between the different sizes of a boat, ship and vessel - aren't much use, unless posted as proper answers with references.

Example sentence(s):
  • Application of these principles to a ship or submarine makes it possible to evaluate the effect of the hydrostatic pressure acting on the hull and appendages by determining the volume of the ship below the waterline and the centroid of this volume.
  • Den totala inre volymen i fartyget. Bulb. Blobb fram på fartyget som bryter vågorna för att minska bränsleförbrukningen. Central gravity.
