About Ngqura East Breakwater Lighthouse
This concrete cylindrical tower stands 11 meters tall and was built in 2009. It is situated at the end of the main breakwater for the Port of Ngqura. The lighthouse features a square platform and rises from a 1-story equipment building. Its green light emits a quick flash every second, visible for 12.7 nautical miles from a focal height of 18 meters. The port itself, a significant containership facility, commenced operations in the same year as the lighthouse's first illumination.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for guiding large container ships into and out of the Port of Ngqura, marking the breakwater's terminus.
