English translation:cargo hold
Explanation:
hold is a general expression on a vessel for where the cargo goes.
I have found it in a description of a suction dredger here:

ehhh, always read the whole document: it says that the cargo hold on a suction dredger is called a hopper.

So replace my answer for: \"hopper\".
