Spanish term

CMD

Spanish to English Other Transport / Transportation / Shipping Ship registration papers
This comes after "eslora entre perpendiculares - 20.20 m". Then, "Manga **(CMD)** - 6.60 m" and "Puntal de construcción / Cbta. superior - 3.32 m". Have tried Googling "buques + CMD" & it's a no-win situation.

Merchant Marine says Cuaderna Maestra en Dise�o (Maximum Design Breadth). They explained additionally that there are two points where this measurement is taken: breadth at midship section, or maximum design breadth, which can be midship or slightly towards the poop deck. In addition, there is manga m�xima ff (fuera de forros). Those are all the data types regarding breadth that they ask for.

I've mailed the client Hope to get a response on Monday. Failing that, I'll risk getting yelled at by the Merchant Marine.

Length is 20.20 m She's the Nao Victoria, a museum ship, perfect replica of the one Elcano used to navigate the world around 1522.

Slim chance This is written on the official form, not in the answer boxes. No private entities are under that kind of a state contract, AFAIK.

DCM (direct curve manipulation)

Have found below site about marine design where a "Direct Curve Manipulation" (DCM) is mentioned. It maybe matches your Spanish CMD somehow. Had never heard this acronym before among commercial shipping jargon so I think it must be a very specific term for this kind of activity.

Hope it helps.

Good luck.
_______________________________________________________________

The Direct Curve Manipulation (DCM) method for the precise control of detailed curve modifications was developed and extended into DSM (Direct Surface Manipulation). Both methods allow for the definition of an arbitrary influence region, precise shape manipulation via pivot point movements, extensive control of continuity properties, and real-time response in all user operations.

CMD

Am hazarding a guess here but when I enter manga/eslora CMD, there is a repeated reference to a marine company called CMD. Could this therefore be the boat designer or manufacturer?

take a look at this website: www.nps.navy.mil/tsse/files/1994.htm.

"Carrier Multi-Mission Dock". Is this plausible?

I think I am agreeing with Sandra. I also found this link:
www.engin.umich.edu/dept/name/publications/5year.report/CMD...
which talks of Concurrent Marine Design but within the article it mentions direct curve manipulation.

My final offering on this conundrum: CUSTOM DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE, which fits in well with the context.
