An assembly for mooring a submarine conduit to a pipeline or a fixed structure such as a storage tank is described. The assembly comprises a mooring head, a fixed mooring frame and a movable mooring arm. The mooring head is fixed to the end of the conduit to be connected. The mooring arm is mounted on the fixed mooring frame and is effective to receive the mooring head. The mooring arm is displaceable in a horizontal plane on the mooring frame. An end of the pipeline to which the conduit is to be connected is located on the rotational axis of the mooring arm. A junction pipe connects the end of the conduit to the end of the fixed pipeline. A cable attached to the mooring head passes through the mooring arm and is attached to a winch on the surface for drawing the mooring head into engagement with the mooring arm.
