hora de estabelecimento

Portuguese to English Other Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Hi All,

I am currently translating amendments to sailing directions and would appreciate any assistance translating the above in the context of the following section (regarding the time at which notice must be provided to the Port Authority prior to arrival at port):

Atracar (hora de estabelecimento do 1°cabo com volta fixe)

Many thanks in advance!

Darren

Mooring - time of tying (the 1st line with x knot)

Given the context, I interpret the verb "estabelecer" as such

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mooring_(watercraft)

"volta fixe" is some type of nautical knot which I cannot find anywhere.....

Bom trabalho!

Peer comment(s):

agree Geraldo Quintas : Could 'volta fixe' be a typo for 'volta fixa', meaning 'tied/fixed knot'?

Thanks Geraldo :) Yes, that sounds right....I suppose Darren should clear that up with the client.
neutral Douglas Bissell : Atracar means against a quayside or dock, whereas moored: A moored ship is one that is secured by ropes to a permanent fixture. Usually this word describes ships "at moorings," areas of a harbor where ships are tied to a fixed object on the seabed.

You may be right, I'm not an expert on shipping/nautical, but take a look here: https://www.google.com/search?q=atracar ; moor&rct=j

Time of docking

The rest of the phrase seems kinda superfluous and supercilious
