About Bur Sudan Harbor Range Front Lighthouse
Built in 2004, the Bur Sudan Harbor Range Front is a 34.5-meter tall steel skeletal tower with a square pyramidal shape. It stands 1.2 kilometers from the nearest port in Port Sudan, Red Sea State. The light emits a continuous red signal, visible for 16.4 nautical miles. This navigational aid operates as part of a range system, helping vessels align for safe entry into the harbor. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: This front range light, working with its rear counterpart, provides essential alignment for commercial and cargo vessels entering Bur Sudan Harbor, a significant Red Sea port. Its function is key to preventing groundings and maintaining efficient port operations.
