Dutch term

gederfde (Chemicaliën oplegger)

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping
A list of prices for the services provided by a company that transports chemicals, gas, etc.

"Prijs/dag voor gederfde Chemicaliën oplegger" as well as "Prijd/dag voor gederfde Gas oplegger" appear under the heading "Startpremie interventie".

I am not sure how to translate "gederfde".
Thanks! H.

Thanks, Harry. I have to admit I don't understand the use of it here either. Perhaps you are right about it meaning something like "unavailable", but then I wonder why it appears under the heading "Startpremie interventie"?
Harry Borsje Jun 14, 2007:
IMO this is a rather peculiar use of the word, but maybe just 'unavailable' for transport as a result of delayed (un)loading due to the client

loss of use

This has to do with insurance. You take out an insurance and 'derven' or 'gederfde' has to do with things like 'loss of income' ' loss of profit' when you are unable to use this piece of equipment or material

So what they are trying to say what the cost/expense (price/ day) would be if the equipment is not used, perhaps due to mechanical failure or even adverse weather conditions. You take out insurance to cover those losses.

I am pretty sure that this is it.

agree Mark Shimmin : "gederfde winst" is what I think of, so I presume a reduced rate is charged due to the company's inability to make a profit. So Vic's sentence is correct.
