Termination arrangement for use in a horizontal connection system

A termination arrangement for use in a horizontal connection system for subsea connection of a first tubular member to a second tubular member, wherein a hub at an end of the first tubular member is configured for engagement with a corresponding hub at an end of the second tubular member, the termination arrangement comprising a base structure,

• wherein the base structure comprises a tubular body which extends in a horizontal direction and which has a front end facing the hub of the first tubular member and an opposite rear end, and
• wherein the first tubular member is rotatably mounted to the tubular body through an annular bearing provided at the front end of the tubular body,
• wherein:
• that the base structure comprises an internal fluid chamber which is formed inside the tubular body and delimited at a front end by the annular bearing and at an opposite rear end by a rear end wall, wherein this fluid chamber accommodates a liquid having heat-storing capacity;
• and
• that the first tubular member extends through a central opening in the rear end wall, wherein a section of the first tubular member extends through the fluid chamber from the rear end of the fluid chamber to the front end thereof and is in contact with the liquid in the fluid chamber so as to allow the liquid to delay cooling of this section of the first tubular member by means of heat stored in the liquid.
