About Bontang Entrance Range Front Lighthouse
Also known as: Bontang Entrance Range Front (1A)
The Bontang Entrance Range Front is a 16-meter square metal tower painted white, positioned 5.8 kilometers from Bontang. It emits a quick-flashing white light visible for 12.2 nautical miles. This structure serves as part of a range system guiding vessels into the port. While the site is open to the public, the tower itself is not accessible. Its location southwest of Pulau Beras Basah places it within the waters of the Makassar Strait.
Why it matters: This range front light is essential for ships entering Bontang, a significant port for the coal and natural gas industries in East Kalimantan, specifically aiding navigation through the approach channel.
