The system 1 has a support member 3 for supporting at least one sensor means for producing sensor data related to the tank 2. Also, it has at least three suspending means with an elongated flexible member 41 adapted to connect to the support member 3, and a winch 42, with a motor, for winding a length of the elongated flexible member 41. Moreover, the sys- tem 1 has a control unit for controlling the motor of the winch- =41 es 42, The suspending means are adapted to suspend the sup- port member 3 in a position inside the tank 2, The control unit 5 is configured to synchronize the length of the wound elongat- ed flexible member 4 lwith the position of the support member 3 inside the tank 2. .•e5 1 C
