ABSTRACT:
An assembly for connecting a jumper to a subsea structure. The assembly comprises a jumper connector attached to an end of the jumper that has a vertically disposed main body adapted for receiving a plurality of lines, which connect into a corresponding plurality of vertically oriented female couplers disposed within the main body. The connector assembly further comprises a mating socket attached to the subsea structure that has a substantially cylindrically shaped main housing formed with a longitudinal slot and a corresponding plurality of vertically oriented male couplers. A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) vertically aligns the jumper connector with the mating socket and connects the plurality of female couplers to the corresponding plurality of male couplers.
