A pipeline termination skid to be mounted to a pipeline end section in order to support a pipeline hub of the pipeline end section during and after the connection of the pipeline hub to a corresponding spool piece hub, the pipeline termination skid comprising: - a mobile base frame for supporting the pipeline termination skid against the seabed or a seabed-based foundation; and - one or more holding units (20a, 20b) for securing the pipeline end section and the associated pipeline hub to the pipeline termination skid in a predetermined orientation in relation to the pipeline termination skid, the respective holding unit (20a, 20b) being supported by the base frame, characterized in: - that the base frame at its bottom is provided with a downwardly directed opening for a pipeline end section so as to allow the pipeline termination skid to receive a pipeline end section, which rests on the seabed or on a seabed-based foundation, by lowering the pipeline termination skid downwards onto said pipeline end section; - that the respective holding unit (20a, 20b) is provided with a downwardly directed seat having a downwardly directed entrance opening located above said opening in the base frame so as to allow the pipeline end section received in the base frame to be moved into contact with the seat by being lifted upwards through the entrance opening in a direction essentially perpendicular to its own longitudinal axis; - that the respective holding unit (20a, 20b) is provided with a locking device for securing the pipeline end section to the holding unit (20a, 20b) in a lifted position in contact with the seat of the holding unit; and - that one of said holding units is provided with a guiding device configured to come into engagement with an alignment element on the pipeline end section when the pipeline end section received in the base frame is lifted upwards through the entrance opening of the seat so as to thereby guide the pipeline termination skid into the correct axial position in relation to the pipeline end section. - a mobile base frame for supporting the pipeline termination skid against the seabed or a seabed-based foundation; and - one or more holding units (20a, 20b) for securing the pipeline end section and the associated pipeline hub to the pipeline termination skid in a predetermined orientation in relation to the pipeline termination skid, the respective holding unit (20a, 20b) being supported by the base frame, - that the base frame at its bottom is provided with a downwardly directed opening for a pipeline end section so as to allow the pipeline termination skid to receive a pipeline end section, which rests on the seabed or on a seabed-based foundation, by lowering the pipeline termination skid downwards onto said pipeline end section; - that the respective holding unit (20a, 20b) is provided with a downwardly directed seat having a downwardly directed entrance opening located above said opening in the base frame so as to allow the pipeline end section received in the base frame to be moved into contact with the seat by being lifted upwards through the entrance opening in a direction essentially perpendicular to its own longitudinal axis; - that the respective holding unit (20a, 20b) is provided with a locking device for securing the pipeline end section to the holding unit (20a, 20b) in a lifted position in contact with the seat of the holding unit; and - that one of said holding units is provided with a guiding device configured to come into engagement with an alignment element on the pipeline end section when the pipeline end section received in the base frame is lifted upwards through the entrance opening of the seat so as to thereby guide the pipeline termination skid into the correct axial position in relation to the pipeline end section.
