Could there be some typo?
The same paper exists in English, where the word was translated as "cash carrier", which sounds a bit strange to me.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): John Jory

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.

It is not about past times such ships shall have been built in the early 1990s in Germany. Unfortunately, the context is not relevant, the text is about accounting problems, the ships are only mentioned as products of a shipyard (i.e. there were some outstanding receivables from their delivery).
I've been thinking of "ships built with a cassette structure" (something like that, I don't know the proper English for that, but the translation is into Hungarian, anyway). However, it seems that this kind of ships was never produced by that shipyard.

Any context?

I guess this is about times past - when money had to be transported as coins, even to far away shores (think of the British Empire or wars oversea). Kassette means a coffer for money, so it all makes sense.

ship for container bolsters

"In vielen Fällen wird die Ladung auf sog. Kassetten befördert, die in den Häfen be- und entladen und mittels spezieller Zugmaschinen geladen und gelöscht werden."

"Ähnliches gilt für die im Hafen beladenen Kassetten oder Bolster, die mit speziellen Terminalfahrzeugen angehoben und an Bord bzw. von Bord gerollt werden."

Both from ref 1.

Container Bolster
A container floor without sides or end walls which does not have the ISO corner fittings and is generally used for Ro/Ro operations.
Ref 2

Bolster, Container Chassis
Transverse structure with locks on each end for securing a container to the chassis. Also provides vertical load support for a container.

agree yeswhere : This is my guess too - but if the asker knows the name of the shipyard, it could be confirmed
