  • Patent number: 10322912
    Abstract: A subsea connector system (10) for providing a connection with a subsea well component comprises a latch assembly (14) defining a through bore and a latch member (18) mounted on the latch assembly. A mandrel (20) extends through said bore of the latch assembly, wherein the mandrel and the latch assembly are axially and rotatably moveable relative to each other in a predefined relative movement sequence to operate the latch member and configure the connector system between connected and disconnected configurations. The connector system also comprises a conveyance connector (22) for providing a connection between a conveyance member (24) and the mandrel such that a conveyance member may permit an axial movement component of the predefined movement sequence. A rotation interface (26) is mounted on one of the mandrel and the latch assembly such that a subsea manipulator may permit a rotational movement component of the predefined relative movement sequence.
