Intended for being coupled to the hull of a ship on each of the sides thereof and close to its bow, this device consists of an arm ( 1 ) materialized in a casing ( 8 ) with an almost semi-cylindrical configuration, inside of which a screw ( 10 ) is housed that moves the crude towards the hull of the ship, a casing stiffened by means of a plurality of back brackets ( 13 ) and open towards the front and upwardly, the arm having a float ( 21 ) on its free end and ending on its inner end in a collection tank ( 3 ) where the screw ( 10 ) unloads, where a transmission mechanism ( 22 ) is arranged that drives said screw from within the ship, as well as a pipe connected to a suction pump also arranged in the ship. Thus, when the ship moves forward the crude enters inside the casing ( 8 ) and within it is moved longitudinally towards the tank ( 3 ) from where it is aspirated into the ship.
