Systems and method for compensation of motions of a floating structure, which includes a lifting system with a working platform supported by its actuators driven along vertical axis, where the foremost and the aft-most units are paired with each other providing a self-leveling movement; and a balance system, which can freely deviate from its position relative to the deck, with its own actuators and which is arranged to at least one side of the working platform, providing an even distribution of weight enabling the working platform to remain upright and steady, regardless of the floating structure. The lifting system is associated with the balance system by the plurality of arrangements of motion units, which assure the substantially constant angle between the working platform and the working frame, providing free linear movement relative to the working frame regardless of the base structure and the floating structure.
A system for keeping a substantially level working platform (4) in a desired position, said working platform (4) being arranged movable to a floating vessel (1) or floating structure (1a), with a lifting system comprising a set of elongate lifting actuators (8) connected pivotal to a base structure (5) and connected to the working platform (4) via numerous pivotal joints to compensate for pitch, roll and heave movements imposed by the floating vessel or structure (1, 1a), comprising
