What does tender mean?

[firefly333]

It means a port where the ship doesnt dock. A small boat ferrys people to the port from and to the ship.

 

The small boat is called a tender boat, thats where it gets its name.

What does tender mean?

 

When the ship doesn't dock at the port and anchors out a ways and they have smaller boats pick you up to take you to the port.

This might help

 

At certain ports of call, small boats known as tenders are used to transport passengers from the ship to shore. Certain of these tenders may not be accessible to individuals using wheelchairs and mobility scooters, or the status of the tendering process at a particular port under certain weather, sea, swell, current and/or tide conditions may prove difficult for a safe transfer to take place. In each case, it will be the decision of the ship officials to determine, based on their evaluation of safety issues for our guests and crew, whether or not a guest using a wheelchair may board a tender. In order to safely board tenders, guests must be able to take steps and use a collapsible, fold up wheelchair; motorized wheelchairs and mobility scooters cannot be taken on tenders.
