Very ambiguous why cargo ''με κολάνι''. I suppose it may be referring to cargo which is 'tied' with adjustable belts onto the body of the ship, so it does not move when the ship sails. if there is any more text please show it to confirm the meaning. Purely and simply on its own *κολάνι=belt*. If you want to use the verb for 'κολάνι' you should use 'belted' (on or onto.....)

sling ~ strop


Explanation:
CY κολάνι = GR σαμπάνιο (καθαρεύουσα:) περιλάβειο, ιμάντας φορτίου (για τα τελευταία βλ. ΙΑΤΕ)

Δεν είναι για μεταφορά ή ακινητοποίηση: "αγκαλιάζει" (περιαδράχνει) το φορτίο, όταν το σηκώνουν με γερανό κ.λπ. Το φορτίο που χωράει π θηλειά αυτή είναι η "σαμπανιά" (που μπορεί κάλλιστα να είναι και... σαμπάνια ενόψει της Πρωτοχρονιάς...).

neutral  transphy: In Cypriot Greek, Andras, it's normal to say 'κολάνι' for 'belt' The Bulgarians use it, too. I think it may come from the Turkish word ''kolan''.
