Abstract
A sealing system for use with a sub-sea connector. The sealing system comprises an actuation sleeve retaining a ball valve within the exposed end of the sleeve and a valve control system connecting the ball valve to an actuation member and applying a force to the ball valve such that it is urged into a closed position. A biassing means controls the sealing force of the ball valve.
