Abstract
A floating barge crane that is provided with a heave compensator package between the traveling block of the crane and the load hook of the crane and with the package containing substantially all of the components of a hauldown system. The hauldown system includes four winches which carry hauldown cables that pass from the package to the load and to the stationary structure at circumferentially spaced points to pull the load toward the stationary structure and control lateral, vertical and rotational movement of the load.
