Floating crane comprising a main jib which can be deposited on deck

A supplementary jib for a floating crane having a derricking main jib is racterized in that the hinge (bearing) of the supplementary jib is located in proximity or coincides with the hinge of the main jib. The main jib is incorporated in the crane system by virtue of compression struts and guy ropes meeting at the head of the main jib.
