About Gangavarem Range Rear Lighthouse
A square pyramidal skeletal tower built of steel, the Gangavarem Range Rear lighthouse stands 29 meters tall and was constructed in 2009. Its white structure has a focal height of 35 meters, emitting an occulting white light that flashes every 10 seconds. This navigational aid is positioned within the Vizag Steel plant complex, 550 meters behind its front range light, and is 1.4 kilometers from the port of Gangavaram. The lighthouse offers a geographic range of 16.2 nautical miles, guiding vessels within the Bay of Bengal. The Vizag Steel plant manages the site.
Why it matters: As the rear component of a range system, this light provides essential alignment for vessels navigating into the Gangavaram port, particularly those servicing the Vizag Steel plant.
