Abstract:
A horizontal connection arrangement for subsea connection of a first hub arranged on a first subsea module to a second hub arranged on a second subsea module. The first hub is fixed to a first holding unit and the second hub is fixed to a second holding unit. A sliding unit is slidably mounted to the first holding unit so as to be horizontally moveable in relation to the first holding unit. A connector for connecting and securing the first hub to the second hub is mounted to the sliding unit and horizontally moveable together with the sliding unit between a retracted position, in which an outer end of the first hub projects beyond a front side of the connector, and an advanced position, in which the outer end of the first hub is received inside the connector.
