Any ideas on the meaning of "reparos" in the following sentence in a ship's outline specification (Brazilian Portuguese)?:
O Navio deverá ter uma Estação Central de Controle de Avarias, localizada em área anexa ao Central do Controlo de ou próxima a ele, uma Central de Controle de Avarias de Eletrônica e, pelo menos, dois reparos.
The normal meaning of "repairs" does not seem to make sense here.
Could it be "spare circuits" or "displays" ?
Any informed suggestions gratefully received

repair stations
The context is not clear, but I guess they are talking about repair stations.
"Ship Repair station
When the game has proper survival i think they need to add a repair station so when you have made a ship it can scan it, so if u damage it however badly you just put the parts in the machine and it gradually rebuilds your ship, what does everyone think ?"
Note: As far as I can tell, there are a few grammar errors in the original. Corrected Phrase:
área anexa à Central de Controle
