The weak link arrangement (1) includes a seabed frame (2) supporting an umbilical having a weak link multiconnecting structure (3) (UTA) installed in line, which weak link multiconnecting structure (3) (UTA) ensures continuous communication through the fluid pipes and electric cables until emergency disconnection takes place.
