Fl White 4s🇮🇩IDOperational

Tanjung Ongkone features a square skeletal tower painted white, standing 14 meters tall. It emits a white flash every four seconds from a focal height of 14 meters, providing a geographic range of 11.6 nautical miles. This navigational aid is located on a remote point of land approximately 26 kilometers from the nearest port, Mamuju.
