A vessel for installing a platform on an offshore support structure, comprising a floating body. a lifting device on the floating body which is tiltable about a tilting axis with respect to the floating body and a tilting force member configured to apply a tilting force to said lifting device, which lifting device is provided with a static part that is tiltable about said tilting axis and a movable part which is movable in a vertical direction with respect to the static part, wherein the tilting force member engages a drive location at the static part.
A vessel, comprising:
- a floating body;
- a lifting device mounted to the floating body, the lifting device comprising a static part and a movable part movable in a linear direction relative to the static part, the static part being mounted to the floating body so as to be tiltable about a tilting axis with respect to the floating body;
- and
- a tilting force member mounted to the floating body and mounted to a drive location on the static part, the tilting force member configured to apply a driving force to the static part to tilt the static part.
A lifting assembly, comprising:
- a supporting element;
- a lifting device comprising a static part and a movable part movable in a linear direction relative to the static part, the supporting element being joined to the static part and configured to allow the static part to be tiltable about a tilting axis to substantially vertically positions when the supporting element is located on a horizontal support surface;
- and
- a tilting force member joined to the static part at a drive location and configured to tilt the static part.
