A device for transferring fluid between equipment on the seabed and a surface unit. It is of the type comprising at least one flexible pipe (4) extending in a catenary curve, an intermediate buoyancy and support member (5) associated with said pipe (4) and splitting the latter into two parts - an upper part (6) and a lower part (9) - the intermediate member (5) imparting to a region (7) of the upper part (6) a concavity facing the seabed, means (15, 20) for retaining at least one region (10) of the lower part (9) of the pipe (4), said retaining means (15, 20) being connected by connecting means (13) to a fixed member (12) for tensioning said lower part, said fixed member (12) being placed on or in said seabed (8), said retaining means (15, 20) and the fixed member (12) imparting to said region (10) of the lower part of the pipe, a predetermined bend radius the concavity of which faces the equipment on the seabed, wherein the intermediate member (5) is connected to said fixed member (12) and said connecting means (13) have a length (L) at least equal to the minimum bend radius (MBR) of said flexible pipe (4).
