FMC Vertical
Connection Systems
These systems provide vertical Landing and Connection for
the 1st and 2nd end of flexible Flowlines, Rigid Jumpers, Rigid
Flowlines with flexible tails, Flowline Risers and Umbilicals.
Vertical Connection Systems may connect of up to 30 OD
(27 ID) to Manifolds, Xmas Trees, Sleds, PLETs and PLEMs.
These systems have no interference with the seabed during
installation and connection, increasing the subsea visibility
during installation. The Vertical Connection systems does not
require flowline pull-in capability, simplifying all functions
and providing a time efficient subsea tie-in operation. Stroking and connection is carried out by the the Connector itself,
or by the ROV operated Connector Actuation Tool (CAT)
System.

VECON Mk2
Tie-in System with KC
Mechanical Connector
With the CAT-V2 mounted directly on each collet connector, this
connection system is a time efficient way of connecting lines. Since
the VECON system does not require a pull-in capability, it simplifies the tool functions and provides a time efficient tie-in operation.
The connection system (CAT-V2) is very compact, requires minimal
mobilization, and is air transportable world-wide.
Vertical connections are installed directly onto the receiving hub
in one operation during connection. These systems have no
interference with the seabed during installation and connection,
increasing the subsea visibility during installation. Based on the KC
Mechanical connectors, this connection system leaves no hydraulic
components subsea, and may be used in both Mono & Multibore
configurations.
