Device for inferring information about a load, in particular a dredged load, comprising a container with a bottom, in particular the hopper of a trailing suction hopper dredger, and measuring means for determining the loading level (h1) of the load in the container, wherein at least one first measuring point with a pressure gauge is provided close to the bottom, this first measuring point being adapted to measure the hydrostatic pressure at the bottom (Ãw1). Method for inferring information about a load, in particular a dredged load, in a container with a bottom, in particular in the hopper of a trailing suction hopper dredger, wherein the height (h1) of the loading level in the container is measured, wherein the hydrostatic pressure close to the bottom of the container (Ãw1) is measured, and information about the load is inferred from the measurement of the loading level (h1) and the measurement of the hydrostatic pressure (Ãw1). |
