A soft throttling valve comprising: an inlet; an outlet; and a main valve having a main valve element and a main valve seat which cooperates with a throttling section of the main valve element in order to control the main fluid flow through the soft throttling valve between said inlet and said outlet, the main valve element having the throttling section, a stem section, and top plate section, the stem section connecting the throlling section with the top plate section, wherein the soft throttling valve is arranged for throttling the main valve in such a way that a pressure shock is reduced and comprises a follower arrangement having a follower element and an orifice and being arranged to throttle a pilot fluid flow taken from the main fluid between the inlet and the main valve element, which shall pass as the main fluid flow through the main valve, flows through the orifice 17 into the pressure chamber 19 above the top plate section 12 for setting a degree of opening of the main valve in order to allow a soft throttling of the main valve, the throttling of the pilot fluid flow depending on a degree of opening of the main valve, characterized in that the follower element is arranged to reduce a pilot flow through the orifice depending on the degree of opening of the main valve during the throttling process so that the main valve can be maintained in a partially open position during the throttling process of the main valve and the pilot fluid flow increases a pressure driving the main valve element in opening direction, wherein due to a reduced pressure increase, a further opening of the main valve may be prevented, so that the main valve maintains a partially opened position, thus the degree of opening corresponds to between more than 0 % of a maximum main fluid flow through the main valve and less than 100 % of the maximum main fluid flow through the main valve, wherein the soft throttling valve comprises a biasing element and the follower element being biased by a force exerted by the biasing element or is attached to the main valve element in order to follow a movement of the main valve element, wherein when the main valve element is stopped due to a stop in pressure increase on the top plate section above the top plate section there is constantly a flow in and out of the pressure chamber, wherein, in order to allow that pilot fluid may bleed from the pressure chamber to the outlet, the top plate section comprises a bleed channel that allows pressure propagation between the pressure chamber below and above the top plate section, and a pressure chamber floor comprises one or more bleed passages that provide for pressure propagation between the pressure chamber and the outlet. an inlet;
