A flexible joint for transfer of especially a cryogenic fluid includes a first element () and a second element (). The first element () comprising an internal, partly curved surface (), the second element () comprising a corresponding outer partly curved surface () with at least a sealing element (') between the curved surfaces (). The first element () comprises a first connection part () and the second element comprises a second connection part () connectable to the first connection part () with a flexible part (′) between the connection of the two connectable parts () and the sealing element (). Thereby it is formed a void () which may be pressurized with an inert gas at a pressure equal to or higher than the pressure of the fluid to be transferred through the joint.
