Apparatus for transferring oil between a first facility and a second facility. The apparatus comprises a pipe supported at one end by a floating buoy and decoupling means arranged to decouple movement of the buoy from a substantial portion of the pipe. The decoupling means is generally arranged to support a portion of the pipe adjacent the floating buoy and may comprise, for example, a tether attached to the floating buoy, one or more diverter disks attached onto the length of pipe, a sliding connection or an arrangement of weights and buoys along the length of the pipe.
