Abstract: A suction head (1) for a dredger, includes;—an outlet (2) for fluidly coupling the suction head with a suction tube (3) for transport of dredge to the loading space of a floating dredger;—a sand inlet (4), which in use faces a sand bed (5) to be sucked away, for taking in a flow of dredge (6) in the suction head, and which flow of dredge runs in a dredge flow direction (7) at the sand inlet;—a side inlet (8) fluidly coupled with the sand inlet, wherein the side inlet and the outlet are arranged at opposite sides of the suction head for introducing a lateral flow (9) from outside the suction head into the suction head locally at the sand inlet, which lateral flow runs substantially transverse relative to the dredge flow direction.
