Pro-Tec Geosystems Pte Ltd provides professional On-Board Vessel Illumination Survey Services in Singapore for ship owners, ship managers, shipyards, vessel builders, offshore operators and marine contractors. Our service helps assess lighting levels on board vessels, verify illumination adequacy, improve workplace safety, support crew comfort and provide practical recommendations for lighting improvement.
An on-board vessel illumination survey is a professional lighting assessment carried out inside and outside a vessel. It measures illuminance levels in lux to determine whether lighting is suitable for safe movement, work activities, equipment reading, accommodation use, inspection and emergency access.
The survey is performed using a suitable lux meter at selected vessel locations. Results are compared with applicable reference criteria, client specifications or project requirements.
Proper lighting is essential for safe vessel operation and crew comfort. Poor lighting can increase the risk of slips, trips, falls, eye strain, fatigue, incorrect instrument readings and unsafe work practices.
A professional vessel lux level survey helps identify low-light areas, over-bright locations, glare problems, uneven lighting and defective fittings before they affect safety or comfort.
Pro-Tec Geosystems carries out marine lighting survey services with reference to applicable marine, class, owner and project requirements.

Our marine illumination survey is carried out using a suitable lux meter. Measurements are taken at representative points based on area use, normal crew activity and applicable criteria.
The lux meter sensor is positioned to capture actual lighting conditions. Readings are recorded after stabilisation. Where required, minimum, maximum or average values may be reported.
Measurement details may include location,
deck level, room name, work area, measured lux level, recommended maintained
illuminance and observations.
