About Ngqura Harbour Range Rear Lighthouse
This skeletal tower, built in 2009, stands 60 meters tall and has a focal height of 103 meters. It is painted with red and white horizontal bands and features a slatted daymark in orange with a white vertical stripe. The light emits a single white flash every 10 seconds, visible for 25.2 nautical miles. Located about 1 kilometer northwest of the front range light within the Ngqura Harbour development, it is situated near Gqeberha in South Africa's Eastern Cape province. The tower's structure is triangular.
Why it matters: As the rear light in a range system, this structure is essential for guiding vessels into Ngqura Harbour by providing precise alignment with the front light. This aids in preventing groundings and collisions within the port's approach channels.
