ABSTRACT:
A subsea flowline connector for remotely connecting and releasing a first flowline such as a peripheral flowline on a marine riser to a complementary second flowline at a submerged location without the use of divers. Further, the seals in the connector may be remotely replaced without the need to bring the connector to the surface. Further, in one embodiment of present invention, a bundle of control/supply lines can be remotely connected to respective submerged lines at the same time as the flowline is connected.
