Installation for transferring a fluid between a tanker and a fixed structure

Installation for transferring a fluid between a transport vessel and a fluid reservoir on a fixed structure, of the type comprising:

• a conduit which is for transporting the fluid towards the fixed structure (18) and which is at least partially submerged in a body of water;
• a device which is for conveying fluid between the vessel and the transport conduit and which is connected to a connection end of the transport conduit;
• and
• a floating platform which is for securing the vessel and which is positioned beside the connection end and which is locally movable in the body of water, the floating platform comprising:
• a carrier structure which is intended to be partially submerged in the body of water, the carrier structure comprising an open-work trellis which delimits internal spaces which are for circulation of water and which are intended to open in the body of water;
• flexible lines for anchoring the structure to the bottom of the body of water;
• means for fixing lines for securing the vessel to the carrier structure;
• wherein the ratio of the volume of the internal spaces to the total of the volume of the open-work trellis and the volume of the internal spaces is greater than 0.9.
