Makatumbe Range Rear Lighthouse
Introduction

The **Makatumbe Range Rear Lighthouse** (also known as **Dar es Salaam Bay Range Rear** or **Outer Makatumbe lighthouse**) is located on the island of Outer Makatumbe close to the coast of [Dar es salaam](/wiki/Dar_es_salaam "Dar es salaam"), [Tanzania](/wiki/Tanzania "Tanzania"). The lighthouse assists ships waiting in the strait that are about to enter the [Kivukoni](/wiki/Kivukoni "Kivukoni") channel.

The lighthouse structure is similar to that of [Ras Mkumbi Lighthouse](/wiki/Ras_Mkumbi_Lighthouse "Ras Mkumbi Lighthouse") and is a square masonry tower with a red lantern and gallery. The lighthouse structure was refurbished between 1997 and 1999 in a project that saw the overhaul of [Port of Dar es Salaam](/wiki/Port_of_Dar_es_Salaam "Port of Dar es Salaam") infrastructure.


What are the implications of a lighthouse being refurbished on port infrastructure?
