English term or phrase: compliment
Buenos días:

Traducción de una carta redactada por un inglés británico hacia el español europeo.

No me cuadra la palabra "compliment" en este contexto, ¿no habrá querido decir "commitment"?

Contexto:
"...there is no requirement for a Muster Roll, in which a record of workers is listed with its present compliment for the Vessel."

¿Qué pensáis? Gracias a todos!

Explanation:
Yo creo que se trata de un error tipográfico: debería ser "complement" y se refiere a la dotación o tripulación.

Un saludo
