GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Danish term or phrase:kejs
English translation:rescue sling
Entered by: Diarmuid Kennan

Danish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Fisheries / Safety at sea
Danish term or phrase: kejs
I fartøjer med mere end 1 person om bord skal der være en kejs eller sele, der kan anvendes til bjærge en overbordfalden. Når den overbordfaldne er anbragt i kejsen eller selen skal denne kunne bjærges om bord med mekanisk hjælp.

"Ordbog over det danske Sprog" defines this as a boathook, but the text seems to suggest a basket, or something that a man can be placed into.

Thanks Charles....I discovered that the client preferred 'rescue sling', but your suggestion would have been just as good.
