About us

One step ahead since 1901

Founded in Stavanger in 1901, R. STAHL Tranberg is the company behind the world’s first patented electrical navigation light. That was the start of more than a century as an industrial pioneer in marine lighting, explosion protection and heating solutions. Today our smart, environmentally friendly solutions are deployed in some of the world’s most unforgiving environments, where the demands on reliability and safety are at their highest, and our name still stands for quality and innovation.

Purpose

A pure, sustainable, better choice

We create growth opportunities by offering environmental benefits to our customers, while taking responsibility for a sustainable future. Durable materials, long service life and energy-efficient operation make our products a cleaner choice, with a lower CO₂ footprint and less maintenance across their entire lifetime. Our purpose is to enhance three things:

Vessel in arctic waters

CO₂ reduction

Energy-efficient LED lighting and correctly sized heating systems cut consumption on board, and with it the emissions, every operating hour.

Energy efficiency

From lighting calculation to heat loss calculation: we size for the need, not for comfort, so the power goes where it is required.

Maintenance effectiveness

Stainless steel AISI 316L, long service life and fewer interventions. Equipment that does not need replacing is equipment nobody has to climb up to change.

What we stand for

Four promises to our customers

High quality and durable materials

The highest quality solutions, based on durable materials and a seamless journey from R&D and design through to production.

The fastest delivery available

Where the solutions go

Built for the most unforgiving environments

The North Sea, the Barents Sea, the Suez Canal at night and helidecks in polar cold. Our smart, environmentally friendly solutions are delivered to the very highest standards of operational excellence and safety.
