SUBSEA HORIZONTAL CONNECTION ARRANGEMENT

摘要

A horizontal connection arrangement for subsea connection of a first hub (2) arranged on a first subsea module to a second hub (5) arranged on a second subsea module. The first hub is fixed to a first holding unit (21) and the second hub is fixed to a second holding unit (31). A sliding unit (22) is slidably mounted to the first holding unit so as to be horizontally moveable in relation to the first holding unit (21). A connector (40) for connecting and securing the first hub to the second hub is mounted to the sliding unit and horizontally moveable together with the sliding unit between a retracted position, in which an outer end (9) of the first hub projects beyond a front side (45) of the connector, and an advanced position, in which the outer end (9) of the first hub is received inside the connector.
