Some ship webcams are live-streaming. Those that aren't live-streaming display static images which are updated between once every 30 seconds to once every fifteen minutes. To make sure you don't miss any updates from the static image webcams we automatically look for a new image every 30 seconds. This will ensure you always have the latest image without having to manually reload/refresh any page.
At the bottom of each ship webcam & port webcam page you will find a button to "Report No Webcam Image." Clicking the button will automatically create and send an issue report for that specific webcam. It's that easy, and it will help us to keep all our webcams fully functioning.
