List of lighhouses in New Ingrea
This is a list of lighthouses in New Ingrea. The operation and maintenance of lighthouses is the responsibility of the Royal New Ingrean Coast Guard (HMCG). Currently there are xx active lighthouses and xxx light beacons in New Ingrea, all of whom are fully automated and controlled by a central control room in Kingsbury.
Operation and maintenance
Historically, responsibility for lighthouses, lightships, buoys, and other aids to navigation (ATON) was originally vested in the HM Lighthouse Service, which was established in 1860 to construct and operate lighthouses, beacons, and lightships along the busy, but treacherous, coastline of the archipelago. In 1911, its assets, personnel, and statutory responsibilities were transferred to the newly formed HMCG.
Today, the HMCG maintains the national ATON network through a dedicated internal branch responsible for lighthouse operations and buoyage. This includes routine inspection, maintenance, and repair of lighthouse structures; servicing of optics, power systems, and fog signals; and the deployment, retrieval, and repositioning of navigation buoys and beacons. Work is carried out using dedicated Coast Guard buoy tenders, cutters, and helicopters, particularly for remote or offshore sites.
Most lighthouses are now automated, though several historically significant stations remain accessible for periodic servicing. A small number of lightships continue to mark hazardous waters where fixed structures are impractical. Collectively, these aids form a critical component of maritime safety in New Ingrea, supporting commercial shipping, fishing, and recreational navigation.
