About Bredco Lighthouse

A white light flashes every 5 seconds, visible for 20 nautical miles. This navigational aid stands on a mast mounted atop a large palm oil tank, rather than a traditional lighthouse structure. The tank is owned by ARES Merchants, a company based in Singapore. Located at the end of an industrial quay near Bacolod, this light is operated by private entities. The site is open to visitors, though the structure supporting the light is not accessible to the public.

Why it matters: This light guides vessels entering the main quay at Bacolod. Its placement on a palm oil tank makes it a distinctive feature of the industrial port.
