ship train Explanation: I agree train ship makes no sense and I have not been able to find any reference to a ship train. But it is easy to impagine an engine designed to haul ships up a slipway.actually, if you go to http://www.sudohodstvo.com/11_98/page_050_11_98.html you will see a photo of one. from the picture I would suggest "gantry". internet research (see photo) |

boat train Explanation: I have seen "boat train" used in British stories, where I think that it means a train that takes you to a port on the English Channel, scheduled to match a boat to take you to France. Whether this matches your context I don't know. |

trolleys and girders Explanation: Since судопоезд seems to have no immediate word-for-word English counterpart, we may consider a Russian description of the subject in question given in Sudokhodstvo Magazine, No. 11, Nov. 1998 (http://www.sudohodstvo.com/11_98/page_050_11_98_98.html). “The system … consists of 42 idle berth trolleys with 200 t lifting capacity, 30 longitudinal girders of the longitudinal travel “sudopoyezd”, 5 cross girders of the transverse travel “sudopoyezd”, 132 docking blocks, a set of rods, cribbings, stands, wedge supports… The system is powered by a hydraulic drive.” |
