About Port de Fos Range Rear Lighthouse
This steel, cylindrical skeletal tower stands 28 meters tall and is located within the Port de Fos containership terminal. It is distinguished by a red rectangular daymark.

This rear range light is situated 2.7 kilometers from Fos sur Mer, guiding vessels with a geographic range of 15.1 nautical miles. The tower's design is a square cylindrical skeletal form.
Why it matters: This range rear light is indispensable for the safe passage of the colossal containerships that frequent the Port de Fos, one of France's most significant commercial ports. Its quick-flashing white light, intensified along the precise range line, provides critical directional guidance, preventing groundings and collisions within the busy terminal waterways.
