About Jazīreh-ye Khārk Lighthouse
Also known as: Jazīreh-ye Khārk (Khark Island, Kharg Island, Kharg South Beacon)
This skeletal aluminum tower stands 14 meters tall on Khark Island, 25 km off the coast of Iran's Bushehr Province. Its light is positioned 90 meters above sea level, providing a geographic range of 23.8 nautical miles. The lighthouse emits a white flash every 12 seconds. It is located on the island, 0.7 km from the nearest port, near a large oil terminal. The surrounding waters experience significant tanker traffic. Nearby gas flares and terminal lighting can sometimes obscure the lighthouse's signal.
Why it matters: This lighthouse guides vessels navigating to and from the significant oil terminal on Khark Island, an important energy export hub, marking the island's southern end in a zone of heavy commercial shipping.
