Solar-Powered Highmast Lighting for Port Operations
Client: DP World (Global Leader in Port Operations)
Solution Provider: Avvio Lighting (www.avviolighting.com)
Project: Sustainable Solar-Powered Highmast Lighting for Port Safety & Operations
Challenge: Powering Port Lighting Without Compromising Sustainability Goals
As part of DP World’s strategic sustainability initiatives. the company is committed to decarbonizing port operations and reducing its environmental impact. A key challenge was providing reliable high-intensity lighting for port safety and nighttime operations in locations where grid power was unstable or unavailable. Traditional solutions—such as diesel generators or grid-dependent systems—conflicted with DP World’s sustainability goals which include:
• Reducing carbon emissions in line with global climate commitments
• Minimizing reliance on fossil fuels for port infrastructure
• Pioneering green innovations to set new industry standards
Avvio Lighting was tasked with developing a high-performance. off-grid lighting solution that could meet the demanding requirements of a global port operator while aligning with DP World’s vision for a sustainable future.
