Web Camera Trial

Maritime has extended its trial of web-cam vision of the coastal bars and other sites to help boat owners in preparing for a voyage.

This is just one part of a suite of measures being pursued by Maritime to address bar crossing and boating safety in this State.

When considering crossing a bar, the best catch phrase for skippers – who are ultimately responsible for the safety of all on board – is ‘If in doubt, don’t go out’. Here is a list of coastal bars in NSW.

Logging on to find live web camera footage may be very useful in making this decision.

Below is a list of live web-cameras currently installed in NSW:
