The invention relates to a floating structure (1) comprising hull (3) and a work structure (4) for supporting, lifting or lowering elongate objects (5, 16, 17). The work structure comprises an elevating platform (25) having an opening (24) for receiving an object to be supported, lifted or lowered. The elevating platform is supported on the hull (3) and is connected to a movable force element (35, 36). The invention is characterized in that the work structure comprises a compensator platform (26) pivotably supported on the hull around a pivot axis (60,64) via a bracket (61) or via at least one curved track (30, 31). The compensator platform has an opening (45) for receiving the object to be handled while the elevating platform is supported on the compensator platform via at least one elastomeric support (28, 29). The force element (35, 36) is on one side (37) attached to the hull and on the other side (38) to the compensator platform (26) for transmitting a driving force or a damping force to the platform (26) when the platform is povited about a pin (64) or is displaced over the curved track (30, 31).
