Oregon State University research vessel webcams offer live views from one of America’s leading oceanographic research platforms. These ships conduct cutting-edge marine science in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The cameras capture coastal and open-ocean scenes while supporting important environmental and scientific research.
These research ship cameras let you experience Oregon State University's distinctive itineraries in real time as the ships sail through scenic waterways and arrive at world-famous ports and exotic destinations around the globe. Follow each voyage as it unfolds, from embarkation to debarkation, with stunning live views along the way.
Some ship webcams are live-streaming. Those that aren't live-streaming webcams 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.
