About Keskihallinkari Lighthouse
This steel lighthouse is situated on a rocky shoal about 20 kilometers southeast of Kotka, Finland. The structure consists of a steel mast painted white with a red horizontal band, mounted on a square base. It stands 20 meters tall, with the light positioned at the same height above sea level. The lighthouse emits a white flash every 6 seconds, visible for 13.2 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, but the mast itself remains closed. This light specifically guides vessels departing Kotka eastbound.
Why it matters: Keskihallinkari lighthouse is important for commercial and private vessels navigating the eastbound shipping lanes from Kotka. Its directional light warns mariners of the shoal it marks, helping prevent groundings in this busy maritime area.
