Provided is a lifting arrangement configured to facilitate alignment of a load with a wind turbine assembly. The lifting arrangement includes a crane arrangement for hoisting the load to the wind turbine assembly, a tagline arrangement for stabilizing the load during a lifting manoeuvre, a sensor arrangement configured to detect a motion of the wind turbine assembly relative to the load during the lifting manoeuvre, an actuator arrangement for adjusting the position of the load relative to the wind turbine assembly, and a control arrangement for controlling actuators of the actuator arrangement to reduce the detected relative motion. Also provided is a method of aligning a load with a wind turbine assembly.
