If someone here has ever worked with this tricky Egyptian English of a company called Algamal for Import and Export, could you please help me understand what may they mean?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Of course, I don't. It's a text I hope to "just about survive".) My doubts about "cargo as load as discharge" made me post another question.
@ Marijke Singer
Thank you very much for your kind help!
Marijke Singer Jul 12, 2022:
List maybe? It reads like a (badly written) list.
philgoddard Jul 12, 2022:
Can you understand the rest, Andrew? It's just about comprehensible.

stevedoring

I think they mean stevadoring:
Stevedoring is a term which is derived from the word stevedore. Stevedore refers to the act of loading or offloading cargo to and/or from a ship. A person or company engaged in such act is known as a stevedore.

"Stevedoring is an occupation that involves the loading and unloading of ships in addition to various other dockside duties and responsibilities. "

stevedoring or to stevedore

Hi. I am very curious about this word "setavadouring" & could not find its English meaning. However, the nearest language I found was in Hindi:
सेटावडोरिंग - setaavadoring which in English, the nearest meaning is "stevedoring" as mentioned by another translator earlier.

My translation hope it helps.

The master or owners of the vessel are not responsible for the contents of the cargo in terms of quantity, quality, condition and arrangements. The cargo loaded or stevedored by the shipper shall be charged as agreed. Also, the master or owners of the vessel shall not be responsible for the condition of the cargo should loading be carried out during bad weather, as the cargo may get wet.
Example sentence:

stevedore is a person employed, or a contractor engaged, at a dock to load and unload cargo from ships.

stevedoring - the verb related to an activity of loading and unloading cargo from ships at a dock.
