‘Green’ lighting for the Port of Igoumenitsa

"We will make Igoumenitsa a green port": this was the statement made by Managing Director Emanuele Grimaldi at the end of 2023, when the Grimaldi Group acquired a majority stake in the Igoumenitsa Port Authority. Soon after this announcement, several energy efficiency projects were planned and implemented.

In line with this commitment, the relamping of the Greek port’s areas was successfully completed in February this year. The replacement of old sodium lamps with new, more efficient LED lights will result in annual energy savings of over 50% for lighting.

These savings will be greater still thanks to remote control and monitoring technology, which will allow the light intensity to be adjusted remotely based on the port’s actual needs.

The new lighting system has been designed to ensure uniform light distribution and provide appropriate illumination levels according to different usage requirements, while optimizing energy consumption.
