Norwegian term or phrase: surringsremme
Something to tie up and secure large items for transportation. Sentence: Da alle plader var placeret here, blev disse surret sammen på forsvalig vis med surringsremme.... It's the 'remme' I'm not sure about - advice appreciated!

Explanation:
Please note that the text you are translating is in fact Danish - or 70-year old Norwegian. Rem means simply belt, or ribbon if it encircles something.

lashings


Explanation:
Sorry for the attempt of 'guilding the lily', Richard, but I'd say that the proper term is 'lashings' only. That should cover belts, hooks, and turnbuckles, according to my experience. (15 years in ship building)... :)

neutral  Richard Lawson: I expect "lashing" would suffice. However, "lashing belt" is used (see the examples I referred to).
