Glamox to Light Up PGS’ Seismic Vessels

LED lighting is being driven by its desire to comply with emission reduction targets, new regulations, and its own sustainability targets.The LED luminaires will be fitted into eight vessels that operate worldwide: Ramform Vanguard, Atlas, Titan, Hyperion, Tethys, Victory, Sovereign, and PGS Apollo.The vessels undertake seismic surveys to gather geophysical data to create detailed maps of sub-surface conditions. This information is used by offshore energy and mineral companies, and increasingly by offshore wind farm developers to determine where best to locate their assets.The interior lighting
