Abstract

The invention relates to a system for pull-in and interconnection of two pipelines in subsea position, whereof one first pipeline initially is freely suspended, while one second pipeline for instance is mounted on a bottom based manifold frame. The end section on the first pipeline is provided with a socket-like termination with a front end, which is provided with means (17) for coupling of the terminator (8) to complementary pipe coupling means (29) on the second pipeline (19). The terminator (8) is provided with a laterally directed, longitudinally shaped anchor element (10), and the manifold frame (22) is provided with receiving means (24) for receipt and fixation of the anchor element (10). The anchor element (10) and the receiving means (24) are such dimensioned and positioned that when the anchor element (10) is placed in position in the receiving means, the coupling means (17) of the terminator (8) will be positioned straight in front of the complementary coupling means (20) on the second pipeline (19).
