Abstract
A subsea connection system for connecting to a hub of a subsea structure has an outer sleeve, a collet having a plurality of collet segments in which the collet segments are movable between a lock position and an unlock position, a connection hub positioned in the interior of the hollow sleeve such that the collet extends around the connection hub, and a translation mechanism cooperative with the outer sleeve so as to move the outer sleeve between a forward position and a rearward position. The connection hub is suitable for abutting the hub of the subsea structure when the plurality of collet segments are in the lock position. The plurality of collet segments are in the unlock position when the outer sleeve is in the forward position. The plurality of collet segments are in the lock position when the outer sleeve is in the rearward position.
