As shown in Fig. 3 and 4, the base of the rear framework is guided by the link framework 50 along a back side of the crane house. When lowering the base of the rear framework, the link framework 50 pivots about an angle of until about 180° along a back side of the crane house. ln Fig. 3, an initial displacement of the base of the rearframework41 to an intermediate position 41 at a back of the crane house is shown. In Fig. 4, a further lowering of the base of the rear framework is shown , wherein the link framework 50 finally abuts against the substructure, which is here the tub of the tub mounted crane. lnitially, in the raised position RP of the gantry, the link framework 50 is in an upright position. During lowering, the link framework 50 rotates in a direction away from the crane house 2 (backwards) as indicated by the references 42, 42 and 42". The link framework 50 rotates until the link top 501 abuts against an end stop 52. The end stop 52 is mounted at an outer side of a tub wall of the tub 10 for stopping the link framework 50. The tub wall may be provided with a reinforcement structure. After lowering the gantry 4, the link framework 50 has rotated about an angle of about 180°. As shown in Fig. 3 and 4 by the lowering of the gantry apex, a total crane height reduction is obtained. By using the link framework 50 for collapsing the gantry 4 of such a heavy lift crane 1 which might have a gantry height of for example about 90m from a water line WL, the gantry apex 43 can even be lowered about a distance of at least 20m. In particular, the gantry apex 43 can be lowered until a total crane height of at most 65m above a waterline to allow a crane vessel 100 to pass large bridges like the Great Belt Bridge of Denmark. Fig. 5 shows an enlarged view of the crane house 2 including a tugger winch 53 for tensioning the base of the rear framework by a tugger wire 530 during an operation of the lowering mechanism. Fig. 6 shows an enlarged view of the base portion of the rear framework 41 being _ 14 _ positioned in the seat 411 on top of the crane house 2, wherein the tugger wire 530 is fastened to the base of the rear framework. As shown in Fig. 4, a guide element for guiding the tugger wire is positioned at the crane house deck 23. The guide element is a guide roller 531. The guide roller is positioned at a rear edge region on top of the crane house for conducting the tugger wire across the crane house when the base of the rear framework is situated behind the crane house. ln a method for lowering a base of a rear framework, the tugger winch 53 is operated to exert a pull force when carrying out a displacement of the base of the rear framework 41 relative to the crane house 2. The tugger winch 53 is positioned at a front region of the crane house 2. The tugger winch 53 is positioned at the base of the front framework 40. A tugger wire 530 extends from the tugger winch 53 to the base of the rear framework 41. As shown in Fig. 6, an end of the tugger wire 530 is connected to the base of the rear framework 41. The tugger wire 530 extends along a tugger wire path which is determined by several tugger wire sheaves 531. In the illustrated embodiment, a tugger wire sheave 531 is connected to the boom 3 and another tugger wire sheave 531 is connected to the front framework 40, such that the tugger wire path extends from the tuggerwinch 53 via the boom 3 and the frontframework40 to the base ofthe rearframework 41. It is remarked that another tugger wire path is also conceivable. Fig. 6, 7 and 8 further show the locksystem 51 which is arranged for locking the rear framework 41 in position when the gantry 4 is in the raised position RP. The lock system 51 includes at least one lock member 510 to lock the base of the rear framework 41. The at least one lock member 51 fixates the base of the rear framework 41 to the crane house 2. The lock member 510 is formed by a pin which is receivable in the through hole at the base of the rear framework 41. The lock system 51 comprises a lock member actuator 511 for driving the lock member 510 into or out of the through hole for respectively locking or unlocking the base of the rear framework 41. Here, the lockmember actuator 511 is a hydraulic actuator. The hydraulic actuator may be self-sustained and being provided with a pump unit and a battery for incidentally actuating the lock member 510. Fig. 9 shows a head structure 302 of the boom 3 in further detail. The head structure includes a jib 38. The head structure 302 is arranged to carry a main load suspension device 81 which _ 15 _ is connected by a main hoisting wire 810 and provided with a multi-sheave main block and hook, an auxiliary load suspension device 82 and a whip line, also called a fast line 83. According to an aspect of the invention, Fig. 10 shows a vessel crane 1 in a side view. The vessel crane 1 is suitable to be installed on board of a crane vessel 100. The vessel crane 1 is mountable to a hull 101 of a vessel. Here, the vessel crane is a tub mounted crane, a so-called a TMC. The vessel crane 1 is arranged to transfer a hoist load from one to another position. The vessel crane 1 may transfer the hoist load to or from a marine vessel, a barge, a jacket or another structure. The vessel crane 1 comprises a substructure 10. Here, the substructure includes a pedestal, also called a tub. A superstructure 11 is mounted on top of the substructure 10. The superstructure includes operating machinery for carrying out a hoisting operation. The superstructure 11 comprises a crane house 2. The crane house is rotatably connected to the substructure to allow a slew motion of the superstructure relative to the substructure around a vertical axis 01. The crane house comprises a boom connector 22. The boom connector 22 defines a horizontal pivot axis for connecting a boom to the crane house. The superstructure 11 comprises a boom 3 for supporting a hoist load. The boom has a longitudinal axis which extends from a proximal end portion 301 of the boom to a distal end portion of the boom. The distal end portion of the boom is provided with a head structure 302. The boom is pivotally connected to the crane house 2 via the boom connector 22, so that the boom is pivotable about a boom pivot axis 03. The superstructure 11 comprises a gantry 4. The gantry 4 is a crane frame which is arranged to support the boom 3 of the vessel crane 1. The gantry 4 is mounted on the crane house 2. To reduce a total crane height during travelling of the crane vessel, the gantry 4 is collapsible from a raised position RP to a lowered position LP. The gantry 4 comprises a front framework 40 and a rear frame 41. In the raised position RP, the front framework 40 and the rear framework are at their bases mounted to the crane house 2. The gantry has a gantry apex 43. The gantry apex43 is formed by a connection ofa top of the front framework to a top of the rear framework. The front framework and the rear framework are connected to each other by a top pivot 42. _ 16 _ The superstructure 11 comprises a hoisting system 7 for hoisting the hoist load. The hoisting system 7 comprises at least one hoisting winch 70 which is provided with a hoisting wire 701. The hoisting wire extends from the hoisting winch 70 to the head structure 302 ofthe boom 3. Here, the head structure 302 includes a jib 38. The jib 38 is arranged to carry an auxiliary load suspension device 82 and a fast line. The superstructure 11 comprises a boom hoist 30 for raising and lowering the boom 3. The boom can be raised and lowered by pivoting the boom about the boom pivot axis 03 over a boom angle. The boom is depicted in fig. 10 in a substantially horizontal orientation in which the boom 3 is supported by a boom rest 39. The boom hoist 30 is provided with at least one boom hoist winch 31 for hauling in and paying out a luffing wire 32. By hauling in the luffing wire, the boom 3 can be raised and vice versa by paying out the luffing wire, the boom 3 can be lowered. Further, the boom hoist 30 comprises a boom suspension 6 for supporting the boom. The boom suspension 6 extends between the gantry apex 43 and the head structure 302 of the boom 3. The boom suspension contains the luffing wire which is configured in a multiple fall arrangement 60. The multiple fall arrangement 60 extends between a gantry sheave block 61 and a boom sheave block 62. The gantry sheave block 61 is positioned at a side of the gantry apex 43. The boom sheave block 62 is positioned at a side of the head structure 302 of the boom 3. The boom suspension 6 comprises an arrangement which enables a shortening of luffing wire in the multiple fall arrangement. The shortening of luffing wire 32 in the multiple fall arrangement allows to wind up a length of luffing wire onto the boom hoist winch 31 which length of luffing wire can subsequently be used for lowering the gantry 4. The boom suspension 6 comprises at least one detachable sheave block which allows an adaptation of the luffing wire length contained by the multiple fall arrangement 60. The luffing wire length can be adapted by displacing the at least one detachable sheave block away from a hoist position. The at least one detachable sheave block is in a hoist operational status of the vessel crane positioned in the hoist position. In the vessel crane design, the hoist position of the at least one detachable sheave block is determined for a heavy lifting hoisting operation in which heavy hoist loads are to be handled. The hoist position may represent a position ofthe at least one detachable sheave block in which a maximum hoist load can be lifted by the vessel crane. By moving the at least one detachable sheave block away from the hoist position, the luffing wire length in the multiple _ 17 _ fall arrangement can be shortened. During the displacement of the at least one detachable sheave block, a luffing wire may be wound onto the boom hoist winch. When a crane vessel 100 provided with the vessel crane 1 is travelling to another location, it may occur that the crane vessel has to pass a bridge with a maximum clearance height. In incidental cases, it may then be necessary to reduce a total crane height of the vessel crane 1 on board of the crane vessel 100. A total crane height can then be reduced by lowering the gantry 4. Depending on a particular vessel crane configuration, such a gantry 4 might be lowered in different ways. It may be possible by tilting the front framework 40 about a base pivot 040 and folding a rear framework in a backwards direction as disclosed in for example EP3.825.274 or as disclosed in for exampleWO2020 / 204719 by folding a rearframework in a fonNard direction. ln another method of lowering the gantry 4, the rear framework 41 may comprise an integral rigid body in which a base of the rear framework is to be demounted from a rear base mount 410 ofthe crane house 2 to be subsequently lowered at a back side of the crane house 2. Generally, the gantry 4 is lowered by tilting the front framework in a backwards direction about the base pivot 040. During a tilting motion of the front framework 40, the boom is maintained stationary. Preferably, the boom 3 remains on the boom rest 39 when tilting the front framework 40. After placing the boom 3 onto the boom rest 39, the boom suspension 6 can be slackened. To allow the front framework 40 to move away from the boom, the boom suspension 6 has to be lengthened. Thus, the tilting of the front framework 40 requires a lengthening of the boom suspension 6 which can be achieved by paying out luffing wire from the boom hoist which 31. As a consequence, the boom hoist Winch 30 may be configured to contain an additional length of luffing wire 32 to allow this tilting of the front framework 40. According to an aspect of the invention, an improvement is provided in that the gantry 4 can be lowered without a need for the predetermined additional length of luffing wire 32. In a vessel crane, the multiple fall arrangement of luffing wire 60 of the boom suspension 6 is determined to carry out a hoisting operation in which the boom 3 and a hoisting load are to be supported. ln comparison with hoisting, when lowering the gantry 4, the boom suspension 6 is subjected to lower forces. This allows the boom suspension 6 to be adapted to a less heavy configuration. The multiple fall arrangement 60 of the boom suspension 6 may contain a shorter length of luffing wire. An amount of falls of the luffing wire in the multiple fall arrangement of the boom suspension 6 may for example be reduced. _ 18 _ For adapting the multiple fall arrangement 60, according to the aspect of the invention, the multiple fall arrangement 60 of the boom suspension 6 comprises at least one detachable sheave block 63. At one side, at a side of the gantry 4, the multiple fall arrangement 60 has a gantry sheave block 61 and at an opposite side, at a side of the boom 3, the multiple fall arrangement 60 has a boom sheave block 62. The at least one detachable sheave block 63 is detachable from at least one of the gantry sheave block 61 and boom sheave block 62. Here, in Fig. 10, the at least one detachable sheave block 63 is in the hoist position connected to the boom sheave block 62. By detaching the at least one detachable sheave block 63 and moving the at least one detachable sheave block 63 away from its hoist position H, a length of luffing wire in the multiple fall arrangement is adapted. By moving the at least one detachable sheave block 63 away, the luffing wire 32 in the multiple fall arrangement is then shortened. During the movement, the luffing wire is wound onto the boom hoist Winch 31. After a predetermined displacement of the at least one detachable sheave block 63 in which the at least one detachable sheave block reaches a gantry tilt position GT, a sufficient length of luffing wire is wound onto the boom hoist winch 31 to allow a subsequent lowering of the gantry 4. Herewith, beneficially, the boom hoist winch 31 being configured for a hoisting operation needs no additional capacity to carry out an incidental operation in which the gantry 4 has to be lowered. Here, in Fig. 10, the at least one detachable sheave block 63 is transferable along a path between the boom sheave block 62 and the gantry sheave block 61. In the gantry tilt position GT, the at least one detachable sheave block is connectable to the gantry sheave block 61. It is conceivable that the at least one detachable sheave block 63 is transferable along an alternative path. The alternative path may extend along the boom. Preferably, the alternative path is a linear path which extends in a longitudinal direction defined by a longitudinal axis of the boom 3. In the gantry tilt position GT, the at least one detachable sheave block 63 may be connectable to the boom at a boom position at a distance from the boom sheave block 62. An auxiliary block 621 may be positioned at the boom position for connecting the at least one detachable sheave block 63. The at least one detachable sheave block 63 is transferable to and fro the boom sheave block 62 and the auxiliary block 621. The auxiliary block 621 may be positioned between the boom pivot axis 03 and the boom sheave block 62. The boom position for connecting the at least one detachable sheave block 63 may be located at the proximal end portion 301 of the boom. ln a variant, it is conceivable that in the gantry tilt position, the at least one detachable sheave block 63 is connectable to the crane house 2 or the gantry 4. In particular, the at least one detachable sheave block 63 may be connected to a base of a front framework 40 of the gantry 4. _ 19 _ In Fig. 10, the luffing wire 32 runs from sheaves 61 in the gantry 4 directly to sheaves 62 at the distal end portion 302 of the boom which is beneficial in that it puts a less dynamic loading into the sheaves. However, this so-called continuously reeved luffing wire requires a more lengthy wire in comparison with a boom suspension including a multiple fall arrangement 60 with an extension (69: not shown) as described above. The extension may be positioned between the gantry 4 and the multiple fall arrangement 60 or alternatively between the boom 3 and the multiple fall arrangement 60. As the luffing wire is a wearing component in hoisting operations, a wire replacement in a continuously reeved arrangement is more costly. Although, the aspect of the invention is illustrated by a continuously reeved luffing wire in Fig. 10, it is conceivable that the aspect of the invention is likewise applicable in case of a boom suspension including the extension. Fig. 11 and 12 show the multiple fall arrangement 60 of the boom suspension 6 in enlarged views. In the left-sided view of Fig. 11, a gantry sheave block 61 is positioned at the gantry apex 43. Here, in the gantry tilt position GT, a detachable sheave block 63 is connected to the gantry sheave block 61. In the right sided view of Fig. 11, a boom sheave block62 is positioned at a distal end portion 302 ofthe boom 3. Here, illustrated in the hoist position H, the detachable sheave block 63 is connected to the boom sheave block 62. To reduce an amount of falls of reeved luffing wire 32 in the multiple fall arrangement 60, the detachable sheave block 63 is transferred from the hoist position H at the boom 3 to the gantry tilt position GT at the gantry apex 43. The reduction of falls results in less luffing wire contained by boom suspension which becomes available to carry out a lowering of the gantry for to reduce a total crane height. As shown in Fig. 11, the detachable sheave block 63 is provided with a connector member 631 and the gantry sheave block 61 and the boom sheave block 62 are each provided with a complementary connector member 611, 621. Here, the detachable sheave block 63 is provided with a first connector member 631 at one side and a second connector member 632 at an opposite side for connecting the detachable sheave block 63 at opposite sides to an associate complementary connector member 611, 621. To obtain a proper alignment of a detachable sheave block 63 approaching one of the gantry sheave block 61 and boom sheave block 62, the detachable sheave block 63 has a sheave frame 630 which is provided with a positioning member 65. Preferably, the positioning member is one of a male and female member, wherein a complementary counterpart is provided at at least one of the gantry sheave block 61 and boom sheave block 62. In Fig. 10 and in the enlarged view of Fig. 13 a transfer winch 66 is shown which is configured to transfer a detachable sheave block 63. The transferwinch 66 is arranged to wind and unwind -zo- a transfer wire 660. The transfer winch 66 is positioned at the distal boom end portion 302. Here, the transfer winch 66 is positioned at the boom sheave block 62. The transfer wire 660 is connected to the detachable sheave block 63 to guide the sheave block 63 along the path from the hoist position H to the gantry tilt position GT. It is conceivable that in a variant, the transfer winch 66 is positioned at the gantry sheave block 61. By operating the transfer winch 66, the transfer wire can be paid out to lower the detachable sheave block 63 away from the gantry sheave block 61. Subsequently, the gantry sheave block 63 may be received and connected to the boom sheave block 62 or connected at another boom position which results in a shortening of luffing wire contained by the pump suspension 6. According to an aspect of the invention, in Figs. 14-23, a crane subassembly according to the invention is denoted overall by reference numeral 12. Identical reference signs are used in the drawings to indicate identical or functionally similar components. Fig. 14 shows an enlarged view of a crane, a so-called tub mounted crane TMC, having a crane house 2 being positioned on a substructure 10, a pedestal, a so-called crane tub, simply called a tub. The tub mounted crane is preferably configured to be installed on board of a vessel having a hull 101, e.g. a semi-submersible crane vessel, and a deck structure, a vessel deck 102, on which the crane according to an embodiment of the invention can be mounted. lt will be appreciated that the crane is of the same type as disclosed in WO2015 / 088332. The crane may also be connected to a ground surface GS, e.g. on a quay, for onshore operations. The crane is a slewing crane comprising a fixed substructure 10 and a rotatable superstructure 11. Here, the substructure is formed by the crane tub which is mounted to the deck structure 102. A slew bearing is arranged between the crane house 2 and the substructure 10 to allow slewing of the crane house relative to the substructure about a substantially vertical slewing axis, practically called a vertical axis. Preferably, the slew bearing is a roller slew bearing comprising raceways and a multitude of rollers arranged between said raceways and embodied to absorb vertical loads, radial loads, as well as tilting loads. The crane house 2 is configured to support a boom 3 at a front side of the crane house 2. Further, the crane house is configured to support a gantry 4, also called a luffing frame. Here, the gantry 4 is positioned on top of the crane house. Other arrangements of a mounting of a gantry to the crane house are also conceivable. A plurality of possible gantry arrangements is known from the prior art. _ 21 _ The crane house 2 may be embodied as disclosed in WO2018 / 143807. Fig. 15 and 16 show this known crane house in further detail. The crane house 2 has a substantially cylindrical shape. The crane house comprises a substantially cylinder-shaped circumferential wall 21 that is preferably made of steel. In this embodiment, the circumferential wall comprises a lower section 26, an upper section 27 and a middle section 25 in between the lower section and the upper section. These sections are integrated into one continuous wall 21 and here primarily serve as an indication ofa region of the circumferential wall. The lower section 26 is delimited by the circumferential stiffeners and a slew bearing flange at a lower end 211 of the wall. The slew bearing flange is embodied to connect the lower end of the wall to a slew roller bearing of substantially the same diameter. For example, a diameter of 15m or more. The illustrated embodiment, the diameter is about 30m. The upper section 27 is delimited by the circumferential stiffener and an upper end 212 of the wall, where a crane house deck 23 adjoins the upper end of the wall and partially closes off a top of the cylinder-shaped wall. The middle section 25 is here delimited by stiffeners on the inside of the wall 21. The stiffeners may be vertically spaced apart, and spaced from the neighbouring lower end 211 and upper end 212 of the wall 21 respectively. The circumferential stiffeners provide stiffness to the wall, distribute loads as they adjoin box element end portions of a base mount or a boom connector for respectively mounting the gantry or boom. The stiffeners may comprise oblique strengthening ribs, and assist to maintain the cylindrical shape of the structure of the crane house during operation. A boom connector 22 is connected to an upper section 27 of the wall for supporting the boom 3 of the crane at the front side of the crane house. The boom connector 22 defines a first horizontal pivot axis 03 for the boom to allow the boom to be pivoted up and down. In this embodiment, the crane house 2 is configured to support a gantry 4 having a gantry structure comprising an inclined front framework 40 which is at its lower end supported by a front gantry attachment structure, a front base mount 400, which is here incorporated with the boom connector 22, and a substantially vertical rear framework 41, also called a back stay member, supported by a rear gantry attachment structure, a rear base mount 410. _ 22 _ In an assembled state of the gantry 4, the front framework 40 and the rear framework 41 are pivotally connected to each other at the top. The connection of the front and rear framework at the top form a gantry apex 43. Although not illustrated in the drawings of WO2018 / 143807, the disclosed crane house is provided with a floor that at least partially closes off a bottom of the cylinder-shaped wall. In this prior art, this floor is used to support further equipment, e.g. electronic equipment, any winches, slew drive motors, of the crane inside the crane house. Fig. 17 shows a winch carrier 71 for carrying one or more winches. In particular, the winch carrier 71 is configured to carry a plurality of hosting winches 70. The winch carrier has a carrier body 710 which forms a platform 711. The platform 711 has a plurality ofwinch seats 712. Each winch seat 712 is configured to receive a winch. A winch can be mounted to the winch seat. Here, the winch seats 712 are positioned in an array. As shown in the top view of fig.18, the platform may provide multiple arrays, here two arrays ofwinch seats. As shown in fig. 18, the crane house deck 23 is open worked to allow wires originating from winches 31 ;70 below the crane house deck to pass along. Luffing wires 32 and hoisting wires 701 may pass through a crane house deck aperture to extend between a winch and the gantry apex 43. Fig. 19-21 show successive steps of an embodiment of an installation method for assembling a crane subassembly 12. Fig. 19 shows an assembly table 120 which is configured for installation of the winches onto the winch carrier 31. The assembly table has a table frame 121 which provides a predetermined table height. The table height is adapted to an associated built- in height of the winch carrier 31 being required for an associated crane house 2 to form the crane subassembly 12. The assembly table may include a plurality of crane house supports 122 forsupporting the crane house 3 relative to a winch carrier 31 being placed on the assembly table 121. Fig. 20 shows a step of an installation method wherein the winch carrier 31 is situated in an inner space of the crane house 2. In the step of the installation method, the crane house 2 is placed from above over the winch carrier. To allow the crane house to receive the winch carrier from below, the crane house has an open bottom. -23- The crane house 2 may have a ring-shaped crane house floor extending along the circumferential wall. The ring-shaped crane house floor provides an open mid area for receiving the winch carrier 31 inside the crane house 2. As shown in Fig. 20, the crane subassembly 12 comprises a plurality of carrier mounts 281, 781 for connecting the winch carrier 31 to the crane house 2. The carrier mounts 281 of the crane house are positioned at an inner side of the circumferential wall 21. In particular, the carrier mounts 281 are positioned at the middle section 25 of the circumferential wall. The carrier mounts 781 of the winch carrier 31 are situated at an outer contour. Preferably, a pair ofassociated carriermounts 281,781 comprise each a part ofa pin-hole assemblywhich allows the winch carrier 31 to be fastened to the crane house 2 by inserting a pin-shaped element into a hole of the carrier mounts. Fig. 21 shows a step of the installation method, wherein the crane house 2 together with the winch carrier 31 is placed on top of the substructure 10 ofthe crane. The crane house 2 is lifted from the assembly table 120 together with the winch carrier 31 and positioned on top of the substructure 10. After a positioning and alignment, the sub assembly of the crane house 2 and the winch carrier 31 is mounted to the substructure 10. Fig. 22 and 23 show an alternative embodiment of the installation method, wherein the winch carrier 31 is placed on the substructure before placing the crane house 2. Winches are preferably mounted to the winch carrier 31 in preparation of the placement ofthe winch carrier 31 onto the substructure. The winch carrier 31 is accurately positioned on the substructure by using a positioning frame being configured to correctly position the winch carrier 31 on the substructure 10. Subsequently, the crane house 2 is placed over the winch carrier 31 and the winch carrier 31 is mounted to the crane house 2. After mounting the winch carrier 31 to the crane house, the positioning frame may be removed.
