FIELD: transportation.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to device for fluid transportation, e.g. natural gas, from deformable pipeline to immobile solid pipeline installed on a support and involved in a system with other coordinate system, such as header pipeline mounted on a ship transporting fluid products. Connector device includes device orienting tip (8) towards immobile solid pipeline (6) during connection, featuring tapered shaft (12) mounted on pipeline and intended to enter funnel pipe (18) mounted on immobile solid pipeline, during connection under effect of traction produced by cable (33) attached to tapered shaft. Additionally, connection device includes guide device mounted on connection tip (8) of deformable pipeline (3), mounted coaxially to deformable pipeline.
EFFECT: safe connection of deformable pipeline at the moment of pipe tip capture.
