Commercial Marine: fishing vessel "Carica"

glamox-fl40_led-floodlights_carica_fishing-vessel_534px
FL40 is now illuminating the environment of “Carica” and helps to save energy. One FL40 LED Floodlight (99 Watt) replaces two 500 Watt metal halide floodlights. Jadran Tuna has a shipping fleet of 13 fishing vessels. These fishing ships have a double part: they fish for tuna during tuna fishing season, while they fish for small bluefish species for the remaining of the season. 
The captain as well as the ship owner said that they improved fishing efficiency with FL40. Also, there is another big advantage – LED Floodlights start immediately while metal halide lamps take time to start which can lead to loss in catch. Glamox is proud of such a success of the latest high quality LED technology.

Lighting for Bastø Fosen car ferries

zes6450

The new ferries - built by CEMRE Shipard in Altinova/Turkey - are owned and operated by the shipping company Bastø Fosen and can carry 200 cars and between 24-30 trailers. The vessels are equipped with energy efficient diesel engines. Bastø Fosen’s own calculations show that the NOx emission will be reduced with more than 80 percent compared to existing ferries. In addition, a newly developed, energy efficient hull will reduce the fuel consumption with 25-30 percent compared to today’s vessels.

The lighting solution from Glamox comprises high quality LED luminaires that will help reducing the carbon footprint even further. The watertight TL60 luminaires are used on the car deck and in other areas that are exposed to the elements. DL60 downlights serve as interior lighting throughout the vessel. To read more about the lighting solution, please see the overview of featured products to the right.  View reference
