Study reveals: increased alertness for the crew of Stolt Tankers

Read the Whitepaper

Stolt Tankers, Rotterdam, Netherlands

Stolt Tankers, a global leader in deep-sea and regional chemical tanker operations, transports millions of tonnes of cargo annually across Europe and worldwide. With a strong commitment to innovation, they consistently strive to stay at the forefront of the maritime industry. In collaboration with Signify NatureConnect, Stolt Tankers enhanced the working environment in the ship's control rooms by introducing a daylight simulation and a skylight effect. A study on board confirmed that this innovative solution helped the staff to feel less fatigued at the end of their shift, experience improved sleep quality, and feel more awake during the shift.

As part of our sustainability strategy, our goal is supporting employee development and wellbeing. The study on board confirmed that NatureConnect in the two control rooms really has a positive impact on the crew.”

Customer Challenge

The engine control room and surrounding work area have typically no windows, while crew members spend most of the working day here monitoring, controlling and maintaining the ship systems. As a leader in sustainability within the maritime industry, Stolt Tankers sought an innovative solution to enhance their workspaces, creating a more sustainable and supportive operating environment for their crew.

Solution

In the control rooms aboard the chemical tanker, operator alertness is top priority. To enhance the space, Signify NatureConnect lighting introduced and assessed. The results speak for themselves:

More than 50% of the participants agree that they feel less fatigued at the end of their shift, experience improved sleep quality, and feel more awake during the shift.
60% of the participants (strongly) agree that NatureConnect positively impacts on their overall well-being.
