Transfert de navire à navire

Le transfert de navire à navire consiste à transférer en mer ouverte des marchandises entre des navires placés côte à côte, à l'arrêt ou en déplacement.
Le terme anglais « ship to ship transfert » (STS) renvoie aux techniques utilisées par les navires de la marine marchande, par opposition au ravitaillement en mer, qui est le terme utilisé par l'US Navy, pour des opérations généralement beaucoup plus compliquées.
