A subsea tool () designed to pull pipeline ends (PE, PE) towards each other is disclosed. The tool () comprises a first and a second main body () that are able to be displaced to and from each other and have limited freedom of motion relative to each other. The first main body () comprises a frame construction () having means () for guiding onto and fixed attachment to one of the pipeline ends (PE). The second main body () comprises a frame structure () having means () for guiding onto and retaining the other pipeline end (PE). A number of guiding means () are provided on the first main body () for co-operation with complementary guiding elements () provided on the second main body (). A pulling device () is arranged between the first and second main body () and is designed for pulling the main bodies () including the respective pipeline ends (PE, PE) towards each other.

Pulling and connecting tool for subsea conduits

A means for terminating of splicing a cable intended for towing air-water guns behind a seismic vessel. The end of the cable, or of each cable section, is guided into the housing of the termination member. The termination is formed with separately located connection sites for the cable components. The cable's tension-relieving wires (3) are guided into a first chamber (I) in the housing and fastened to the supporting structure of the chamber (I), i.e., the housing. The chamber (I) is filled with a water-repellant lubricant. The cable's conductors (9) are guided individually through the first chamber (I) and through a sealed passage (10) in a wall (14) defining a second, watertight chamber (II) which is filled with an electrically insulating, hydrophobic, water-emulsifying liquid. The chamber (II) is also provided with a pressure compensator (8). The conductors (9) are guided further to underwater connectors (15) disposed in the diametrically opposed end wall (13) of the housing, optionally with an intermediate connection of electronics circuitry (16). The compressed air hose (17) of the cable is conducted through the first chamber (I) and through a central separate channel (18) in the second chamber (II) to a coupling (19) outside the housing.
