Norwegian (Bokmal) term or phrase: spyleflater
"For å begrense forurensning av mikroplast og miljøgifter
fra småbåthavner skal derfor Miljødirektoratet utrede mulighetene for å stille krav i egen
forskrift til drift av småbåthavner over en viss størrelse, inkludert oppsamling og rensing av avrenning
fra spyleflater."

I understand this to mean areas in a marina where boats and other equipment can be hosed down and cleaned.

hull maintenance areas
Explanation:
See the link for this:

"In addition to adversely affecting marine life, material washed into the water from hull maintenance areas can also contaminate sediments in the marina basin, posing problems for dredging and the disposal of dredged material. Finally, allowing pollutants to seep into the ground can eventually contaminate the site itself, posing problems if the marina is ever to be sold.

"So, it is not hard to see why it is important to keep a close eye on hull maintenance areas to ensure that the associated wastes do not get into the water. Under the Federal Coastal Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program, the States are required to develop plans to reduce pollution from stormwater runoff from a variety of sources, including marinas. While marinas are usually not considered a major contributor to water quality problems, existing marinas are being asked to reduce the total amount of solids in runoff from boat maintenance areas by 80 percent as part of this program. The question is how best to do this."

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Charles - but I'm wondering if this is specific enough. I understand "spyleflater" to mean any surface that becomes was as a result of hosing down.

Asker: That's much closer, yes. Thanks, Charles.
