A device for transferring a product between a ship and a fixed
installation. The device is supported at one end by a support structure
and the other end is capable of being connected to the ship's manifold.
The support structure includes a boom carrying a transfer pipe, rotatable
about a vertical axis above the ship, and a deformable transfer device,
one end of which is connected to the pipe, and the other end is mobile
between a stowed position proximate the boom and a position for
connection to the ship's manifold. The invention is useful for
transferring liquefied natural gas.
