Swedish term or phrase: tilläggningar
Exempel på lämpliga svårighetsstegringar skulle kunna vara tilläggningar i strömt vatten, dåligt väder eller manöverbegränsningar så som att enbart använda sig av en motor eller dylikt.

alongsides
Explanation:
"Going alongside" may fit other contexts context and makes a more elegant sentence here.
Berthings does not sound at all seamanlike and I suspect Swenglish in Dairmuid's reference.
In US English and, sadly increasingly, in UK English 'going alongside' is being replaced by 'docking', so you may wish to use that, Helena.
