The Hub of Global Logistics, Incheon Container Terminal
Mastering the 24-Hour Cycle with GigaTera's Light
- This project is a premier industrial site solution involving the complete replacement and new installation of the old, existing lighting at Incheon Container Terminal (ICT), a member of PSA International and a key logistics gateway for South Korea, with GigaTera's high-efficiency LED lighting system from October to December 2024.
GigaTera recognized the unique nature of the container terminal, which operates non-stop 24/7, and prioritized worker safety. In particular, the work environment with massive cranes in constant motion and the issue of insufficient illuminance in specific areas, such as inside the 'Legs,' were key factors hindering the efficiency and safety of nighttime operations. Therefore, GigaTera's expert engineering team set the goal of designing a customized lighting solution optimized for the QC (Quay Crane) and TC (Yard Crane), each with different structures and roles, as well as for the high masts covering the entire vast terminal, through on-site precision analysis and simulations.
GigaTera optimally positioned GigaTera LED floodlights with precise beam angles, such as 15 and 45 degrees, to match the different locations and working radiuses of the QC and TC, including the Cabin, Girder, and Portal. Through this, it concentrated light energy where needed without any waste, exceeding the target illuminance levels, and secured the safety of all spaces within the terminal by installing new lighting in blind spots that previously lacked sufficient light. Furthermore, it also enhanced the project's economic efficiency by applying a resource recycling method, reinstalling the lights removed from the QCs onto the TCs.
The most significant feature of this project is that it was not a simple 1-to-1 lamp replacement, but a 'comprehensive engineering solution' that involved a complex mix of new installation, replacement, and relocation for resource recycling. By applying individually customized solutions that considered the characteristics of different types of cranes and the vast yard, this is a premier smart port lighting implementation case that successfully addressed all three goals of safety, efficiency, and cost savings.
