loadout

French translation: embarquement

Tech/Engineering - Geology
English term or phrase: loadout
I know that the term is already in proz com.
But here is a definition of what I'm looking for.
This involves unloading large pre-fabricated modules.
Is there a specific term in French or do we just say "déchargement" or "débarquement"
By loadout, we mean the process of moving a structure from a set of skidways on the land to a cargo barge. Normally, the barge is placed some fixed distance away from the land skidway and the structure is skidded along the land skid. At some point, part of the structure will cantilever over the gap between the barge and the land. The structure is moved further until part of it is over the barge. At this time, the barge ballast is changed so that the barge partially supports the structure. Now, the structure is skidded further off of the land and onto the barge.

Explanation:
"moving a structure from a set of skidways on the land to a cargo barge" ... Embarquement !

"P. ext. Action de faire monter (des personnes) ou de charger (des choses) à bord d'un moyen de transport quelconque. Des embarquements en chemin de fer signalés à Ostende (Joffre, Mém., t. 1, 1931, p. 475) :
1. Le six juin, je dus descendre à Puyloubiers pour y accompagner le vieil Alibert et son fils qui conduisaient deux chargements de foin à la gare. Les formalités d'embarquement et de livraison furent très longues et nous rentrâmes en retard à Théotime.

transbordement


Explanation:
Selon votre explication, il ne s'agit pas d'un déchargement ni d'un débarquement, car la charge passe d'un type de transport sur un autre.

On pourrait aussi rendre ce mouvement par le terme "transfert".

loadout / chargement


Explanation:
dont la technique très particulière nécessite toute une explication.
Au vu de la séquence, il serait difficile de le traduire par déchargement ou débarquement.
Il y a un transport, un déchargement et un embarquement.
Le débarquement se fera à l'arrivée.
La traduction de la page ultramarine garde le mot loadout, sans doute du CAT.
Loadout n'est pas repris dans le Grand Dictionnaire Anglais Hachette & Oxford.
Pour reprendre toute la séquence des opérations, je propose soit de garder le mot anglais soit de choisir un mot plus général en français : chargement.
