Spanish term or phrase: sección de embarque
Looks like it has something to do with how the equipment is shipped. Here's the context:

Cuatro (4) copias en papel y tres (3) en archivo electrónico (CD), de cada dibujo y diagrama final de construcción, así como de los instructivos para el montaje, operación y mantenimiento de todos sus equipos, la información debe elaborarse con software compatible o exportable, de diseño asistido por computadora (CAD) y office para windows, con la siguiente información en idioma español:
a) Planos y dibujos aprobados incluyendo arreglos físicos, dimensiones, pesos y *secciones de embarque* y lista de equipos y materiales.

Given your explanation.... I tend to think that what is meant is not where the equipment is being loaded... but more to do with
"detailed shipping documents"

shipping department


Explanation:
I agree with Cecilia, but 'shipping department' is another option and has in my opinion a broader meaning. Hope it helps too.

Amit, as you noticed right, the plural is accurate (shipping departments). Error of mine.
