A method for ship-to-ship transfer of hydrocarbon liquids comprises mooring a first tanker 2 to a single-point mooring buoy 10, the buoy having a first port (16, figure 1) and a second port (18 figure, 1) and a fluid conduit (14, figure 1) connecting the first and second ports; connecting a first hose string 26 between the first port of the buoy and the first tanker; positioning a second tanker 4 near the buoy, the second tanker having a dynamic positioning system; connecting a second hose string 30 between the second port and the second tanker; and pumping a hydrocarbon product between the first and second tankers, via the buoy. In some embodiments, the second tanker may be positioned between 50 and 200 metres from the first. In some embodiments, the buoy may comprise a surge tank (20, figure 1) or a telemetry system.
