Also, the German harbours run as per specifications (2,5)
I believe the answer is:
to order
'per specifications' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'also the german harbours run' is the wordplay.
'also' becomes 'too' (synonyms).
'the german' becomes 'der' ('the' in German).
'harbours' indicates putting letters inside.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'too'+'der'='tooder'
'tooder' enclosing 'r' is 'TO ORDER'.
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for to order that I've seen before include "In accordance with specification" , "In fulfilment of an instruction" , "as required" , "As specified" .)
