Abstract
A module is loaded on a submerged installation to interface an umbilical termination head with a pump module by way of vertically and horizontally directed connection units (21, 26) carried by the module and from which connection members are projected into respective receptacles (70). The units and the receptacles are mounted so as to be readily alignable to ball-and-socket joints (46) or universal couplings (74). The connection members can be projected in a first stage to effect alignment and in a subsequent stage to effect hydraulic and/or electrical connection. The mounting of the units and receptacle is such as to permit retrieval of the module in the event of a failure to withdraw the connection members back into the units.
