Abstract
A pipeline alignment termination device comprises a connecting piece () connected at its first end to a pipeline (). The connecting piece is supported on a skid base () by an articulated support (). Adjustable constraints (, L) operable by ROV, permit the second end () to be accurately aligned by transverse and rotational adjustments with the end of a spoolpiece (). After alignment and connection, constraints on the rotation and transverse movement are removed, leaving the connecting piece supported but free to move with up to five degrees of freedom.
