German term or phrase: Schwergutplatte
unter Bezugnahme auf die bereits mit unserem Hafenmeister geführten Gespräche bezüglich der Blockade unserer Schwergutplatte durch die von Ihnen dort abgestellte (verunfallte) Yacht fordere ich Sie hiermit auf, diese unverzüglich zu entfernen.
Die Nutzung der Schwergutplatte ist nur für den unmittelbaren Umschlagsvorgang und für kurzfristige Lagerung möglich und wird von uns aktuell für weitere Umschlagstätigkeiten benötigt.
