History

Шаблон:Stack

Singapore's first automated, unmanned lighthouse, Bedok lighthouse stands at 76 metres above sea level. It began operating on 9 August 1978 and its 600,000 candle light beam was reported to be visible at sea for up to 42 km. It cost $225,000 and was a replacement for the Fullerton Lighthouse on top of Fullerton Building, which would be obscured by high-rise buildings in what is now the Marina Bay area.[4]

In 2014, a call for tender to build a new lighthouse atop the 25-storey high Block 3, Marine Terrace was put out by Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore.[5] This block was chosen to replace Bedok Lighthouse and would have been operational by the third quarter of 2015.[5] However, the lighthouse still remained on the condominium as of 2020.Шаблон:Efn It would be the first lighthouse atop an HDB block.[5]
