icebreaker assistance Explanation: usual set phrase escort has sligtly different connotation -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days11 hrs (2006-11-15 11:59:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I never met "escorting" when I was sailing. Icebreakers were always "assisting" us. "Piloting" may also mean "guiding or showing course" but not actual help (physically) to break ice for a vessel to proceed. Escorting - proceeding alongside being able to assist or to protect when required This is as I see it in English (as a graduate of a shipping academy since 1982) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days11 hrs (2006-11-15 12:06:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- escorting = сопровождение (ледокол сопровождает другое судно во льдах) assisting = проводка (ледокол проводит другое судно во льдах) |
