Abstract
A pipeline termination skid to be mounted to a pipeline end section to support a pipeline hub during the connection of the pipeline hub to a corresponding spool piece hub. The pipeline termination skid is so designed that a pipeline end section may be mounted thereto subsea by lowering the pipeline end section into a seat of one or several holding devices of the pipeline termination skid and thereafter displacing the pipeline termination skid along the pipeline end section so that the respective seat is brought into engagement with an alignment element secured about the pipeline end section so as to thereby fix the pipeline end section axially and radially in relation to the pipeline termination skid. A connection arrangement includes the pipeline termination skid, a pipeline termination designed for co-operation with the termination skid and a method for subsea connection of a pipeline to a spool piece.
