About Bur Sudan Harbor Range Rear Lighthouse
This square skeletal steel tower, standing 48 meters tall, serves as the rear range light for Bur Sudan Harbor. Built and first lit in 2004, it reaches a focal height of 53 meters. The structure is a square pyramidal skeletal communications tower. It emits a continuous red light (F R) with a geographic range of 19.1 nautical miles. Located in downtown Port Sudan, 1.8 kilometers from the nearest port, its site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This rear range light is indispensable for safe navigation into Bur Sudan Harbor, providing a critical alignment point for vessels approaching the port. Its continuous red light helps prevent groundings and collisions in the busy harbor entrance.
