Solent Ships is operated from Town Quay, the Old Town quarter of Southampton, where the Mayflower departed 400 years ago.
Utilising various cameras our small crew are dedicated in providing a window onto our historic waterfront in the Solent region. The ‘Captain’ of our crew is a licenced drone pilot and day skipper, with an added passion for photography.
This channel has a large library of drone footage, documenting (with commentary) the various vessels that sail by one of the busiest Ports in the UK. At Solent Ships, you can also access 24 hour live streaming video of the day-to-day movements of all shapes and sizes of marine traffic, an ever-changing view that is enjoyed by cruise ship enthusiasts and water watchers worldwide.
The channel is expanding with new camera locations and with regular live commentary and millions of views a month, Solent Ships is the most interactive shipping-based channel on RUclips. If you enjoy the content, please like and subscribe. By clicking the notification button you can hop aboard a scheduled broadcast and enjoy the live chat with our warm and welcoming shipmate community.

Thanks for the update. Shame about FerryCam. My cat used to love watching all the moment on the screen!

[@SolentShips]

First time I have heard about a cat watching Ferry Cam shipmate.

[@sandralittlewood550]

So pleased that you are making progress with ABP x wishing you and Mrs Ships a very Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year xx

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate

[@sgtmajor2570]

I was away from the computer for a while and missed the update. I have to thank you for the work you have done so far. I hope it bears fruit.
My wife and I are in our 80s and the first thing we do when we get up, in the morning, is put Red Funnel on.
Good luck and fingers crossed for you!!!!!

[@SolentShips]

Many thanks shipmate. It does look good for the future. Stay tuned.

[@brentonwhite999]

It occurs to me that adding cameras improves security! They’ll thank you when your cameras prevent a crime. Good luck. Have missed your streams from land-locked Colorado.

[@SolentShips]

You would think so. Thanks shipmate

[@123JanMK]

Thank you captain for the update, it does sound more promising - and another positive thought is that the days will be starting to get longer in the new year, so that would be a good time to have some camera action if it can go ahead as hoped. Fingers remaining tightly crossed. xx

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate

[@johnriddle9107]

Great positive news Captain. Let’s all have a Happy New Year!

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate

[@ginnybennett9400]

Well done Captain.Looking forward to a positive outcome. Please fight for Ferry Cam. The bingo is the best!!!

[@SolentShips]

Bingo was very popular with the shipmates

[@janethoughton6094]

Well done Captain. Keep on in there and slow but sure we will get it all back. I'm so excited we can again soon follow the cargoships in and out as I so miss these. Ferry cam is sadly missed but keep it on the table for some sort of return one day. Also any chance of the drone doing more. Thank you for your time and skill in working to get us back onboard. Jx

[@SolentShips]

There will be more droning, weather not good at this time of year shipmate, wet or windy, or both.

[@carolfinnis6152]

Thank you for the update Captain and your perseverance. Let’s hope you can be back very soon.

[@SolentShips]

It's looking good shipmate

[@Lizzydrippin]

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate

[@raymonddickson8937]

Ahoy Captain missed watching the comings and goings of Southampton cruise port just cant see what ABP can complain about

[@SolentShips]

We are working it out shipmate

[@triostarline4947]

glad you might be able to get the cameras back on, stay safe

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate

[@janclapham8367]

The words 'positive outcome' is always good news!

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate

[@johnnewby8720]

Thats All Good News Captain Great To Hear great Little Vid As Well Any Way A Hope You And Your Family Have A Good Xmas And New Year And That Goes For Your Pet Dag As Well

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate

[@VikPaints]

That sounds hopeful. Cruise cam would be great, more so once the dark evenings are gone so we can watch the cruise ship departures and early morning arrivals. Either way it sounds positive, thanks for the update.

[@SolentShips]

It's very quiet and dark at the moment, so we arent' missing a great deal shipmate.

[@bethwaltz2607]

Good news is very welcome in these dark times: "...positive outcome" sounds promising!

[@SolentShips]

Looking good shipmate

[@turbostream7925]

As a land locked Brummie with only brown canals to look at I really hope the cams can come back. Fingers crossed for you.

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate

[@l1sakr1s]

Great news at last .

[@SolentShips]

Slowly slowly shipmate.

[@AndreiTupolev]

How could ABP possibly have any authority to prevent anybody outside of their territory looking into their territory? They have no authority outside port limits surely. The cameras were in public areas, in buildings that were nothing to do with them. They might just as well try to prevent people looking from Mayflower Park

[@SolentShips]

It's a bit complicated, but looks like it's going in the right direction shipmate

[@shelleyjackson8793]

Fab news 👍

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate

[@kevinphipps6395]

Time for a rusty rum and relax a bit captain

[@SolentShips]

Great idea shipmate

[@DesigntowinLew]

Good to get some feedback captain . Heading in the right direction although maybe not the same course . Thank you again captain for the feedback .

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate

[@sueg8144]

And thank you to james, and also to the spanners for keeping things running nicely.

[@SolentShips]

Everyone has been so good. Such an excellent crew shipmate.

Yayyy @Lapides.

[@Jimsraisedbedgarden]

Good news just hopefully get the cameras back on ferrycam it's a massive miss , but one step at a time yeah

[@SolentShips]

Thanks shipmate

[@happyhamlin8219]

Fingers crossed, miss the cams.

[@SolentShips]

Indeed shipmate

My friends Anthony and Tony are sailing tomorrow on Emerald Princess. Their first cruise in a long time. They will be waving. Can we watch out for them Captain please

[@SolentShips]

We will keep an eye out for them shipmate

[@nigeltomes3964]

Im not very cleaver but, If you can have cameras at Portsmouth Navel Base you would think Southampton Docks would be safe!

You would think so shipmate.

How can they stop the ferry cam if the cams are across the street on private property if it is private ?

[@SolentShips]

It's complicated shipmate, but I think there will be a solution.

Good to see common sense appears to be taking place.

I was away for some time and when I came back a couple of days ago, I was deeply sadden by the news you had issues with your cameras and red tape. I have been through that in a different arena, but know how frustrating it can be. Fully behind you and supporting any way I can, another shipmate onboard 🔴🔶🟨🟢🔷🟪⚫️
