Double jib slewing pedestal crane comprising: - a stationary pedestal, preferably adapted to be mounted to a vessel; - a crane housing that is mounted to the pedestal and adapted to slew relative to the pedestal about a vertical slew axis; - a main jib comprising an outer end and an opposed inner end (4a, 4a') which is connected pivotably about a first horizontal pivot axis to the crane housing, allowing an up-and-down luffing movement of the main jib; - a luffing assembly comprising a luffing winch and a luffing cable extending between the main jib and the crane housing; and - a secondary jib comprising an outer end and an opposed inner end connected pivotably about a second horizontal pivot axis to the outer end of the main jib, allowing a pivotal movement of the secondary jib with respect to the main jib; - an object suspension device to which an object is connectable; - a hoist assembly comprising a hoist winch and an associated hoisting cable; wherein the secondary jib is provided with a hoist cable departing sheave at the outer end and a first mounting facility for a hoist cable retention device close to the inner end, allowing the hoisting cable to extend from the hoist winch, via the departing sheave and via the object suspension device to a hoist cable retention device, such that the hoisting cable comprises one or more first suspension cable parts extending between the object suspension device and the departing sheave, and one or more second suspension cable parts extending between the object suspension cable device and the hoist cable retention device, characterized in that the secondary jib is provided with a second mounting facility for a hoist cable retention device between the inner end and the outer end, allowing the hoisting cable to extend from the hoist winch, via the departing sheave and via the object suspension device to a hoist cable retention device, such that the hoisting cable comprises one or more first suspension cable parts extending between the object suspension device and the departing sheave, and one or more second suspension cable parts extending between the object suspension cable device and the hoist cable retention device, such that the first and second suspension cable parts (16a, 16b) extend at a relatively large angle (γ) with respect to each other when the hoist cable retention device is mounted at the first mounting facility, and at a relatively small angle (γ) with respect to each other when the hoist cable retention device is mounted at the second mounting facility. - a stationary pedestal, preferably adapted to be mounted to a vessel;
