World Maritime Day - Navigating the Future: Safety First!

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) host World Maritime Day every year to raise awareness of important subjects in the industry. This year’s theme is ‘Navigating the Future: Safety First’ which focuses on the importance of shipping safety, maritime security, and the marine environment.

 

For many years, Kingfisher has provided innovative lighting solutions to several high-profile maritime clients across the UK. With every lighting scheme we create, we ensure the lighting is fully optimised for safety, security, and efficiency; that’s why this year’s theme is perfect for exploring ‘Safety First’.

 

Optimising Safety for Ports with Lighting

 

Visibility 

When working after dusk, visibility is incredibly important to reduce the number of hazards and risks throughout the site. With high volumes of people working throughout the night, ports are more susceptible to accidents, delays, and safety breaches if proper lighting and visibility measures are not in place.

The Kingfisher Lighting Design Team have a meticulous approach to ports, ensuring accurate uniformity levels and minimal glare are achieved every time. They also ensure all environmental considerations are accounted for, including DarkSky areas for optimal results all around.

 

Durability

Our solutions come with over 35 years of industry experience and ensure every element of your lighting scheme is secure. The longevity of both our mast systems and luminaires is a testament to their high-quality build, allowing consistent performance and increasing safety for many years to come.

Featuring a marine grade+ finish as standard, our dedicated flood light range was designed and engineered to withstand harsh environments including salt spray, high wind levels, moisture and dust, which is perfect for maritime environments.

 

Versatility

Functionality is key for all manner of sites; however, with ports, it is so important your scheme remains versatile. We offer control systems to meet all specifications with scene setting, part night dimming and more at the touch of a button.

Kingfisher Controls is the perfect solution for ports as it ensures locations are illuminated exactly when needed. Our expert team can take you through the many options, but if you want to get ahead of the curve you can speak to a member of the team!
