OSLO, Norway— Glamox will provide marine lighting for six offshore wind vessels.
The company won contracts from Integrated Wind Solutions (IWS) Fleet in Norway to supply four wind turbine commissioning and service operation vessels as well as from Cadeler in Denmark for two wind turbine installation vessels for Cadeler A/S of Denmark.
For IWS Fleet, Glamox will provide navigation and signal lights, search lights and energy-efficient LED lighting, with about 2,500 light points per vessel.
The new Skywalker Class ships are equipped with cranes and ‘walk-to-work’ gangways for access to offshore structures and go on to support operations and maintenance during the life of a wind farm.
The first new vessel will assist the Dogger Bank wind farm complex in the UK North Sea.
