Gosong Mangkut Lighthouse
Location & Light Range
About Gosong Mangkut Lighthouse
This skeletal metal tower stands 14 meters tall, with its light positioned 15 meters above sea level. Painted black with a single red horizontal band, the structure is mounted on a platform supported by piles. It emits a white flash every 5 seconds, visible for nearly 12 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated on a remote shoal southwest of Tanjung Sambar, marking the southwesternmost point of Kalimantan. Its isolated location suggests a primary purpose of marking a navigational hazard.
Why it matters: This light warns mariners about the Gosong Mangkut shoal, a significant underwater hazard in the shipping routes off southwestern Kalimantan.
