English term or phrase: collision mat
Definition from MarineWaypoints.com:
A large square of heavy canvas fitted with lines to allow it to be drawn under the hull of a ship where it is damaged. The pressure of the seawater holds it tight against the ship and greatly reduces the inflow of water.

Example sentence(s):
  • The Collision Mat created by Life Raft and Survival Equipment Inc. was designed to be used as a tool onboard sail or power boats to help slow the intrusion of water thru the hull after a collision or hull appendage failure below the water line. Life Raft and Survival Equipment
  • For larger holes or irregularly shaped punctures or cracks, have a collision mat ready to go. A purpose-built, dedicated, collision mat is probably best, but a storm jib can be successfully employed as well. David S. Malar and Angelika Jardine
  • Sea ice thwarted attempts to keep a collision mat in place to stem water ingress and the bilge pumps were unable to keep up. Transportation Safety Board of Canada

vuotopressu


Definition from SMPS Kuopion Järvipelastajat ry:
Alkuaikana oli hankittu myös oman ideoinnin pohjalta valmistettu vuotopressu, jonka avulla voitiin tukkia veneen vuotokohdat. Pressu osoittautui käyttökelpoiseksi ja sen avulla paikattuvene tuotiin vuodon saanut vene Konnuksesta Kuopioon korjattavaksi.

Example sentence(s):
  • Edellytys aluksen siirtämiseksi oli keulan suojaaminen pressulla, jotta veden paine ei lisäisi vuotoa ajon aikana. Siirtopurjehdus Helsinkiin tehtiin 5. elokuuta kun vuotopressu oli saatu paikalleen. Pressu pienensi vuotoa huomattavasti. - Onnettomuustutkintakeskus
