stow tightly hauling on(to)? the crane Explanation: faire clé (manutention) = arrimer les marchandises en cale sans laisser des jours. This means that the goods were stowed tightly in the hold and that no gaps were left. "souquer" has several meanings among which are : (for a rope) - haul taut - tighten (with a hydraulic jack/hydraulic pot lift/wheel lifter/luffing cylinder/topping cylinder) - steve to (tighten with the use of a "vérin" for example) "virer" in this context, as this word does of course have so many meanings in maritime terminology, is probably : - heave (away, in, on or around) - turn - veer - haul all to mean pull on a line or a chain with a winch or a windlass or something of that ilk. Hope this helps Dic Technique Maritime, Maison du Dictionnaire, 2000 |
