船期沟通是商务英语写作中非常重要的一部分。以下是一些常见的船期沟通表达:
1. 舱位已满无法装货:
"Please note that there is no any available shipping space this week. 这周舱位已满,请知悉。"
"no any available shipping space=be out of shipping space 舱位已满,爆仓"
2. 由于爆仓导致需要延迟装货:
"Sorry to inform you the shipping space is very tight on the planned vessel, our container was dumped to be loaded by the next available voyage. 很抱歉通知您,因为爆仓,我们的柜子要被推迟等下一班船期。"
"① shipping space is tight 舱位紧张,爆仓
②planned vessel 预计的船只。这里planned 作形容词,表示预期的,按计划的
③be dumped to be loaded 被甩
④next available voyage 下一班船期,下一次航行"
3. 询问目的港信息:
"Please advise the port of destination. 请告知目的港。"
"①advise和advice两者都是建议的意思,第一个动词,第二个是名词,记得区分
②引申,不明所以的可以百度扩展
起运港:port of dispatch
目的港:port of destination
装货港:port of loading
卸货港:port of discharge"
4. 确认发货细节:
"The vessel is scheduled to leave Ningbo port on or about 23rd June for Chicago, and we hope to have your confirmation at earliest convenience. 此船定于6月23日左右从宁波起航去芝加哥,我们希望尽快得到你的确认。"
"①be scheduled to被动语态,被安排,定于
②leave for前往,动身
★He leaves home before dawn.他天还没亮就离开家。
★He leaves for home before dawn.他天还没亮就动身回家。
③on or about大约,左右,约于
④at one's earliest convenience尽早,尽快"
