Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013070077A1] A pipe connection device (30) for attaching a first end part (3) of a first floating pipe section (2) to a second end part (3) of a second floating pipe section (2) to form a floating pipeline (1), includes a first pipe positioning member (31) arranged to receive and hold the first end part (3) and a second pipe positioning member (32) arranged to receive and hold the second end part (3). The first and second pipe positioning members (31, 32) are moveably mounted and arranged to perform a relative movement towards each other from a first holding position for positioning the end parts of the pipe sections, towards a second coupling position for connecting the end parts of the pipe sections to each other to form a pipeline. The pipe connection device may be mounted to a vessel.
