A positioning and compensation system for a tubular element to be connected to a drill string includes a gripping arm assembly with a gripping device which holds the tubular element in a position for connection to the drill string, and a load supporting and compensating arrangement which supports at least a portion of a load of the tubular element. The load supporting and compensating arrangement includes a cylinder unit having a piston, a winch, a sheave which is connected to the gripping arm assembly, and a wire. The wire is arranged to run around the sheave with a first end being connected to the piston and a second end being connected to the winch. The winch and the cylinder unit are each arranged in a respective elevated position compared to a position of the sheave. The cylinder unit maintains a minimum tension in the wire.
