Spanish term

comparticiones de contadores

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Ships, Sailing, Maritime
Se gestionarán todas las lecturas asociada a loa contadores, anotando variaciones de contador por fechas de suministro, tratando comparticiones de contadores etc.

This comes from a text describing the management module (of management software) of the supply of water and electricity to vessels in a port.

Frankly, I think there must be some kind of typing error (notice loa instead of los), because I just don't understand the logic of this at all.

Any ideas? Does this mean something to someone?

Text is from Spain. Many thanks.

Actually, I think this may mean sharing meters... Would that make any sense?
Nikki Graham (asker) Mar 2, 2008:
Sorry This is the sentence that preceded it:

El eje principal de este módulo es la solicitud por parte del usuario de un servicio de suministros (Un servicio de suministros incluirá uno o varios suministros diferentes).

sharing of meters

Vessels in a port come and go; one leaves and another ties up at the same slip. The supply of water and electricity still goes through the same meter but must now be charged to another client.
My Cassell's (and common usage) compartir = to share
