Bus/Financial - Ships, Sailing, Maritime
Norwegian term or phrase: samband
Context:

The ship asked på samband if the other boat could move.

A form of communications; perhaps the term would be "communications channel"?

Explanation:
Samband = communications or communications system, generally. See ref page 10 which describes a 'radiooperatør' in a 'sambandsorganisasjon'.
In this context however, "on the radio" fits well, as the one ship seems to be asking the other to move.
"on a communications channel" would fit but sounds very formal.
