About Nipah Larangan Lighthouse
Also known as: Nipah Larangan (Nipahlarangang, Kwala Besar)
This octagonal concrete tower, standing 40 meters tall, was built in 2014 near Belawan, Sumatra. It displays a white flash every 20 seconds, visible for nearly 18 nautical miles. The structure rises from an octagonal building and features a lantern and galley. It was constructed to guide vessels in the coastal waters near Kuala Besar. The tower has developed a notable lean of at least 15 degrees. This condition raises concerns about its structural integrity.
Why it matters: The lighthouse warns vessels navigating the coastal waters near Kuala Besar and the approaches to Belawan. Its current critical lean of at least 15 degrees makes its structural integrity a pressing concern for maritime safety in the region.
