Vlissingenwebcam was created by the idea of ​​placing a webcam in Vlissingen and giving you a nice picture of the other side of the Westerschelde. In Vlissingen there are several beautiful webcams on the boulevard, but we wanted to give the webcam lovers a picture of what is happening around the corner and you can also see the shipping pass by. Together with Ben the webmaster of, among others, rtvvlissingen.nl , this website has become what it is now. Together with me, he has brought Vlissingenwebcam to life and helped me maintain the website. The website has been online since 8 May 2009 and the webcam went online on June 16, 2009. The webcam is online 24 hours so that we can see the largest ships pass by. The website has also been given a different look over the years and the reactions are positive. Thank you for visiting and a lot of fun.

Little info about the webmaster.

Will I introduce myself I am John and live in a nice spot in the city of Vlissingen. That's why I want to share the beautiful view of this webcam with you to promote this beautiful city on the Westerschelde. If you have any comments or comments about this website, please let me know.

Setup Camera.

The webcam is located towards the south at the height of the Oranjedijk with a view of the Westerschelde. This webcam is rotatable and sometimes changes position. This does not always happen because it is not an automatic system. This webcam also has a 30x optical zoom lens, so that the ships become more visible. The distance between the webcam and the water is about 350 meters. The camera is somewhat wind sensitive because it is mounted on an antenna mast. So what the webcam is going to do with a real storm, you will be able to see live on Vlissingenwebcam.

Image quality Camera.

The image quality depends on the sun and the lighting that the camera will experience. The camera is aimed at the south so in the morning and in the afternoon the sun passes in front of the camera and the camera gets to deal with backlighting. That is why the image will become more blurred. At the end of the afternoon when the sun is behind the camera, the picture is at its best. In the evening the camera switches to night mode and the camera has more trouble with that. Because it is quite dark on this side of the Westerschelde. Despite that I hope you enjoy the images on Vlissingenwebcam.

Shipping on the Westerschelde.

Between 150 to 180 ships sail daily on the Westerschelde. In between there are also large transports destined for Vlissingen-Oost and Antwerp. The shipping movements on the Westerschelde are still increasing. The same applies to the dimensions of the ships. Because the first seven test runs of MSC vessels with a length of more than 360 meters across the Westerschelde have been successful, the conditions for future passage are relaxed. The Westerschelde has many shallow spots and strong currents, which is why it is also one of the most difficult rivers to sail. The ships on the Westerschelde must therefore take a pilot on board. The pilot who then arrives on Vlissingen on board brings the ship to its destination. You can see these large ships on Vlissingenwebcam.nl because they sail quite close to the coast. Watch all of this from your lazy chair on our Westerschelde webcam.
