Abstract
A marine slewing pedestal crane includes a boom provided with a jib having a jib-arm. The jib includes a jib base pivotally connected to a jib-axle to allow a pivotal movement of the jib with respect to the boom. The crane includes a jib positioning assembly adapted to position the jib arm and to actuate the movement of the jib arm. The jib arm positioning assembly includes a jib arm control system, including one or more sensors for monitoring a load connected to a load suspension device of a hoisting assembly of the crane, and/or a potential load, and/or a supply vessel supporting a potential load, and/or crane information. Based on the information, the jib arm control system actuates one or more cylinders to pivot the jib arm relative to the jib base.
