LED lighting for 8 geophysical exploration vessels of PGS Company

It is understood that the eight ships involved in this modification project are "Ramform Vanguard", "Atlas", "Titan", "Hyperion", "Tethys", "Victory", "Sovereign" and "PGS Apollo". In the first phase of the project, the eight ships will be replaced with existing fluorescent tube lighting and retrofitted with approximately 2,500 marine-certified LED luminaires on the exterior and interior of the ships.

Internal lighting will cover areas such as the bridge, crew living quarters, corridors, gangways, stairwells, ladders and public areas, while external lighting will cover floodlights and emergency lighting. These professional luminaires are marine certified and built to withstand the harshest environments.

PGS was founded in Norway in 1991. PGS is a leader in the marine seismic exploration industry, especially in ship design. The company's full name is Petroleum Geological Services Company. It is a comprehensive enterprise that provides data collection and processing related to geophysical prospecting and electromagnetic surveying, reservoir analysis and interpretation, and multi-user database services. Committed to providing oil and gas exploration services to oil companies in the global ocean.

PGS's switch to energy-efficient LED lighting is designed to comply with emission reduction targets, new regulations and its own sustainability goals. Olaf Brunstad, the company's vice president of fleet management, said, "Retrofitting these ships with energy-efficient LED lamps will allow us to save up to 60% of lighting energy. This is the first phase of this major retrofit project. The entire project This will continue until 2025 and will ultimately see approximately 2,500 new luminaires retrofitted per vessel. This initiative helps achieve our goal of reducing emissions by 75% by 2050 and achieving a net zero carbon footprint.”

Astrid Simonsen Joos, CEO of Glamox Group, said, “Our very energy-efficient lighting will help customers reduce the carbon footprint of ships and will directly support shipowners’ sustainable development efforts. The International Maritime Organization’s recently established emission reduction targets and the European Union’s The directive to phase out fluorescent lighting in phases adds additional impetus to major retrofit projects across the maritime industry.”

The LED lighting modification will be carried out during the normal operation of the ship and is expected to be completed in 2025.
