Glamox, a world leader in lighting, has won contracts to light four additional Aurora Class vessels, owned and operated by Höegh Autoliners. This latest order follows a contract in October 2022 to provide marine LED lighting for the first eight Aurora Class vessels. Each Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) vessel is designed to carry 9,100 cars. These new multi-fuel vessels can operate on clean ammonia and are the largest and most environmentally friendly car carriers ever built.
“Our Aurora Class vessels signify a breakthrough in sustainable ocean transportation and underscore our ambition to achieve zero emissions by 2040,” said Andreas Enger, CEO of Höegh Autoliners. “Achieving this ambitious target requires us to work with like-minded partners like Glamox. Equipping our new vessels with high-quality energy-saving marine lighting means less fuel is needed for lighting.”
The four new Aurora Class vessels are zero-carbon ready and can run on clean ammonia. The PCTCs have specially strengthened decks and enhanced internal ramp systems to enable them to transport electric vehicles on all decks and to provide more flexibility for heavier cargo.
Each vessel will be equipped with around 3,000 LED lights, including navigation lights, car deck lights, floodlights, searchlights, and lighting for all interiors of the vessels – from the engine room to the bridge, from the galley to crew quarters, and much more.
