Greetings,
Vstep,is still working on it,so that you realy can operate this crane in the game.
I'm very pleased with this new thing,i also hope that they can start work on a crane onshore.So than you could start a mission with cargo onshore,and bring it to the rig at sea.
Regards
Marc

The harbour crane is actually nearly done. However, the harbour crane lifts containers and the oilrig crane big bags with goods. I'm afraid it will be difficult to combine the two for missions.
What do you want to know about the cranes?

Greetings,
I think this will bein a concept,so you wil have extra things allready,like new vessels.So this crane will be in there aswell,you dont have to buy only the crane on itself.
If you ever use it ,it's al just to you to try it.
I have for the game also vessels that i almost never steer,it 's al just in matter of interest.
Regards
Marc

You pretty much answered it. The Container lift cranes are making it into SS08 or will they be add-ons?

I'm a little bit confused, the cranes will follow the game (Ship Simulator 2008) when it comes out?

They will probably be in the game. However, it is likely that at least one of the cranes (the one on the oilrig) will not be finished in time for the initial release. It will be free for download several weeks or months after first release.

I like Chiefs idea about crane operations for multiplayer. I think that would be a fantastic idea and really take multiplayer gaming to the next level.

Thank you for sharing my dream :P. It would be very nice, and i don't think it will be so difficult to make either, but I'm not making the game ;)
