An apparatus for connecting devices and cables between a marine energy converter and subsea foundation comprises a stab plate connection 10A, 12A. One of the stab plates 10A is moved by a connection-establishing part which includes first and second articulated sections 14, 16 which are independently articulated / pivoted to align the stab plates 10A, 12A. A movable element or linear actuator 20 may be used to move the parts axially into connection. The apparatus may also comprise locking cams (28 figure 11) for locking the two parts together which are actuated by the linear actuator 20. These arrangements allow connections to be aligned and made up underwater by a separate connection establishing apparatus, which is not required to remain in place. |
