February 4th, 2008: The La Spezia Perini Navi yard at the Canteri Navali Beconcini facility has purchashed a new beefy travel lift. Big, bad and black, the new travel lift had its first 'workload' assigned to it. This was the transfer of the 45M Perini Navi s/y Heritage from the water to the dry in order to facilitate maintenance work.
Heritage is:
Length overall 148 ft / 45 m
Waterline length 121 ft / 36.73 m
Beam 32 ft / 9.73 m
Draught (keel up) 13 ft / 3.86 m
Draught (keel down) 29 ft / 8.71 m
The travel lift handled her dimensions well and is a great addition to the La Spezia yard. The beautiful Perini Heritage was in the safe grasp of the new travel lift which straddled her 353 tonne weight. The new travel lift marked a procession of new improvements being done and established at the Beconcini facility. Perini Navi confirmed that two 50M docks have been completed and three sheds are well in the works and will be completed in the coming months.
