Portuguese term or phrase: Grupamento Salvamar
I know this term should not really be translated, but I would like to add the meaning next to the term in a translation I am doing.

The context is ports. The sentence does not provide many clues because it´s in a list and not referred to again in the text:

17º Grupamento Salvamar do Corpo de Bombeiros
