The invention relates to a method for transferring fluids between a first ship, called a barge (1), and a second ship (2), called a shuttle, according to which the shuttle is positioned at a pre-determined distance from the barge (1), and a flexible fluid transfer conduit (7) is guided from the barge to the shuttle (2). The method is characterised in that the shuttle (2) is placed in a position wherein the shuttle is laterally offset from the barge (1) while being essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the barge, and a fluid transfer system (7, 9, 28) is provided, which enables the shuttle to be moved in the lateral and longitudinal directions in relation to the barge, during a transfer. The invention can be used for the transfer of liquefied natural gas.
L'invention concerne un procédé de transfert de fluides entre un premier navire, appelé barge (1), et un deuxième navire (2), appelé navette, selon lequel on positionne la navette à une distance prédéterminée de la barge (1) et fait passer de celle-ci au moins un conduit souple (7) de transfert de fluides à la navette (2). Le procédé est caractérisé en ce que l'on place la navette (2) dans une position dans laquelle la navette est latéralement décalée de la barge (1) tout en étant orientée sensiblement parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal de la barge et que l'on prévoit un système de transfert de fluides (7, 9, 28), qui permet un déplacement important de la navette dans les directions latérale et longitudinale, par rapport à la barge, au cours d'un transfert. L'invention est utilisable pour le transfert de gaz naturel liquéfié.
