GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Dutch term or phrase:sjorder

Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Ships, Sailing, Maritime
Dutch term or phrase: sjorder
It refers to a man who has had several jobs in the maritime world. He had been a "sjorder, checker, maar ook als chauffeur...."

I'd appreciate any suggestions. I only found 'sjorren' which means 'lash, seize' and doesn't fit the context.

Thanks in advance for your help!

De werkzaamheden van een lasher bestaan uit het vastzetten van lading in en op schepen, vrachtwagens en spoorwagons, binnen de haven- en op- en overslagbedrijven. Dit gebeurt door middel van het gebruik van hout, kettingen, sjorbanden en andere materialen.
