German term

send.

German to English Other Transport / Transportation / Shipping airline cargo
Unfortunately, the document in question is a questionaire, so there is practically no context. "Send." is being used as a unit of measure for airline cargo throughput, as in:

Durchsatz ___/___ t
Durchsatz ___/___ Einh.
Durchsatz ___/___ Send.
Durchsatz ___/___ % Send.

I have asked the customer for clarification, but the due date is tommorrow & I thought someone here might have also seen it. TIA for any help.

shipment/delivery

I assume it is an abbreviation for "Sendung". Not very sure though.

neutral hazmatgerman (X) : Might have been shipment for sea carriage, but not for air. Delivery won't do here, as it is only the end part of the carriage operation. Regards./Yep, you're right. Greetings.

Ah, ok. Thanks. Well, maybe my answer will be useful for a future KOG user who has this term in a sea-related context. :-)

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "My problem was getting past Send. as "transmissions" (IT context). I am familiar with shipment used regardless of conveyance means (rail, sea, air, road) in the civilian context & believe it more appropriate to the register of the document, particularly once abbreviated "shpmnt." My thanks to everyone for the help."

Really just a guess: send. = Sendung = consignment ???
