En effet, comme son nom le laisse à penser, le bateau de service a pour seule fonction de fournir une prestation, un service. Cela peut être : à destination d'autres navires et embarcations [ou] au service de toute autre activité humaine. Celle-ci n'est d'ailleurs pas nécessairement liée à la mer. Exemple : les navires destinés au déroulement et à l'entretien des câbles internet dans le fond des océans. Les expressions de «bateau de travail», «bateau de servitude» ou «bateau de service» désignent les mêmes types d'embarcations. 2, record 1, French, - bateau%20de%20travail
