About Svendborg Havn Gasværk Lighthouse
This square wooden hut, mounted on a metal skeletal tower, stands 6 meters tall. Its light is visible from a distance of 9.7 nautical miles, with a focal height of 8 meters. The structure displays an occulting white, red, or green light every 5 seconds, shining through a rectangular window. Located on the Svendborg waterfront near the end of Tuxensvej, it guides vessels along the harbor's edge. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This light is essential for safe navigation within Svendborg Harbor, particularly for vessels approaching or departing the eastern waterfront. Its directional light, changing color based on the angle of approach, provides precise guidance, preventing groundings and collisions in a busy port environment.
