An offshore structure has an upending device for upending an elongate suppo structure from a substantially horizontal loading position on a deck of the offshore structure to a substantially vertical launch position outboard of the offshore structure. The upending device has a pivot axis situated near a side of the offshore structure for pivoting the upending device between the loading position and the launch position. A first end of the upending device has a connector member for pivotally connecting to the elongate support structure. The connector member in the launch position is in a position outboard from the side of the offshore structure. A second end of the upending device is attached to a pulling device that is located on the deck of the offshore structure. The upending device is within reach of one or more hoisting means for the elongate support structure.
