Seems like w:nl:Moskstraumen has the complete story: Maalstroom is/was the Dutch name of the Moskstraumen, a tidal stream in the Norwegian sea. It used to mean whirlpool, but the modern word for that is draaikolk.

Thank you for getting back to me on that, Hamaryns. So, words to add are:

maalstroom - Dutch
Mokstraumen - Dutch
mokstraumen - Dutch, as a non-proper noun?
malstreymur - Faroese
malustreymur (alternate spelling)
