Tech/Engineering - Ships, Sailing, Maritime / Naval Form Terminology
English term or phrase: HELD QUARTERS
Hello everyone,

Context: Information found on a summary sheet. The ship´s activity is recorded. The ship belongs to the US Coast Guard.

The term:
"1. HELD QUARTERS".

There is literally nothing else, except N/A for time and initials. The file is signed by the commanding officer.
"Hold" is used as if to say "occupy" or "be". "Quarters" refers to a place on the boat.
I don´t know how to put them together in a natural sounding way in Spanish. It should be short, since the spaces on the form are tiny.

My try:
"Posiciones a cargo"

Thank you for any help.
