  • the hose during the entire process of its implementation in its transfer position, is supported on the piece 11 at the edge of the ship 2 being retained by the displacement cable 13 and the hauling cable 34.
  • connection flange 19 of the connection device of the shuttle is connected to the connection flange 19 of the connection device of the shuttle, by hoisting the nozzle towards the flange 19.
  • This hoisting is done by winding the cable, which is connected to the tip of the pinch, on the winch and engagement of the trumpet 32 on the pinch 20 until the connector the tip comes into contact with the flange 19 for connecting the receiver connection device.
  • the hose extends in a chain, that is to say freely, between its two ends connected to the respective connection flanges.
  • the transfer system according to the invention allows the use of a large number of hoses that are stored on the ship without the storage becomes cumbersome and the movement thereof between their storage position and transfer requires complex means and difficult to handle. Indeed, by storing the hoses on the rack in the elongated and disconnected state, in one or more superimposed layers, above the connection devices to the manifolds, a small footprint is ensured. This advantageous storage also allows the use of simple structure and handling means for moving the hoses between their storage and transfer positions.
  • the configuration of the hose ends, the position of the connecting flanges at the edges of the vessels and the suspension of the flexible hoses at their ends ensures absorption of dynamic movements between the two vessels without this entailing mechanical stresses for the hoses.
  • the hose advantageously extends substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal directions of the ships.
  • the invention proposes a system for transferring a fluid between a fluid storage vessel and a shuttle and the return of cold gas between these two vessels, which may comprise a relatively large number of hoses, while ensuring a very small footprint and absorption of dynamic movements even important between the two ships arranged side by side during a transfer.
  • the invention applies, generally speaking, to the transfer of fluids between two floating units, the term vessel being thus equivalent to the term floating unit.
  • the invention is usable for the loading of LNG carriers from a floating liquefaction unit and the transfer of any other fluid.
  • the invention applies to standard LNG carriers and does not require modification of their manifold devices.
