Dutch term or phrase: onderlossen
In a text about a trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) the following:

"De XXXX kan zand of grond zuigen, walpersen, rainbowen en onderlossen."

The New Comprehensive Dictionary of Industry & Technology gives 'onderlosser' as a 'hopper barge' but in this text it is the verb that is used and I'm not sure how to put that into English. Suggestions appreciated!

bottom unloading


Explanation:

live bottom trailer
The typical live bottom trailer has a conveyor belt on the bottom of the trailer tub that pushes the material out of the back of the trailer at a controlled pace.

The product is discharged at the rear with a conveyor belt, which is below in the trailer. The unloading of the product at the highest speed takes about 20 minutes.
