300t Demag for speedboat company

Italian speedboat manufacturer Offshore CN has taken delivery of a 300 tonne Demag AC 300-6 All Terrain crane.

The six axle AC 300-6 has an 80 metre main boom plus a 21 metre bi-fold extension, with up to 40 degrees of offset and can handle up to 15 tonnes on its fully extended main boom. The crane was delivered by Italian Demag dealer Tecno-Gru.

Offshore CN’s new Demag AC 300-6

Offshore CN builds a range or high speed luxury boats at its yard in Gaeta, roughly halfway between Naples and Rome, but also offers a range of services including boat charters and winter storage.

Owner Roberto Buonomo said: “To be honest, we were actually thinking about getting a five axle crane originally. We make top quality speedboats and need the crane primarily for loading. The thing that really sold me on the AC 300-6 is the fact that it can handle a lot of jobs as a taxi crane without an additional setup team, and that the IC-1 Plus control system enables it to tackle lifts that are beyond the reach of any other crane in its class.”
