A stationary pneumatic bulk material conveying device (6; 8) is used for loading or unloading a ship. The conveying device has a hoist (35) and at least one conveying pipe (7) mounted thereon. A ball-and-socket joint (62) is arranged on the ship-side portion (49) of the conveying pipe (7). A ship-side connection mechanism (63) is used to couple the ball-and-socket joint (62) to the ship. A conveying device is the result, which is suitable for pneumatic slow conveyance. L'invention concerne un dispositif fixe de transfert pneumatique de matériaux en vrac (6; 8) utilisé pour charger ou décharger un navire. Le dispositif de transfert comprend un appareil (35) de levage et au moins une conduite (7) de transfert montée sur celui-ci. Une articulation (62) à rotule est installée sur la partie (49) côté navire de la conduite (7) de transfert. Un mécanisme (63) de liaison côté navire est utilisé pour coupler l'articulation (62) à rotule au navire. Le dispositif de transfert ainsi constitué convient à un transfert pneumatique lent.
