Move (but an elastic term with multiple avatars, see below) Explanation: ...Finding 回航 in contexts pointing to a wide and general meaning, like a) in your queried sentence, as well as specialised ones like b) in the same sentence a)作業船、ケーソン等を回航<b/>する場合、... b) ...回航<b/>保険を付保しなければならない」 です Moving barges or caissons requires a navigation insurance cover. The semantic polyvalence of 回航 is used to interesting effect in your sentence: - the same<i/> term is used to contrast<i/> two operations usually considered as involving fairly different skills and risks (moving vessels through the still waters of a harbour/river/canal, vs. ocean navigation); - but the repetition of that same term does reinforce the point of the sentence: i.e. regardless of those differences the same prudential rule applies to both types of situation.<i/> --------------------- In specific contexts, it is suprising to see 回航 associated with opposite directional information: bring out, bring round, turn back, double back, be on one's way, make out to sea,... c)軍艦を回航する to bring out<b/> a warship d/ 船の損所に仮修繕を施して回航することになっている The ship is to be brought round<b/> after making temporary repairs to her damage. e) そこで、貿易商人が博多に長く滞留することなく、船を早く回航する必要が生じた。 Therefore, trading merchants had to navigate ships constantly without staying in Hakata long. ---------------------- 曳航 does specify towing<b/> (as opposed to pushing<i/>, as barge trains usually are, from Point A to Point B). So, if both terms are used together in contrast (回航と曳航), and if there is a point to this, then rendering 回航 as "pushing<b/>" [and/or towing] might be appropriate. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs (2012-11-12 02:33:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- My apologies for this bolding attribute through out! I must have forgotten to close one of those early html mark-ups... Serves me right! I did not preview this one, once the spell check done. Example sentence(s):
