The Port of Melbourne has turned off its webcams.

The webcams were located at coastal spots around Melbourne, including one at Swanson Dock.

The cameras were popular amongst shipping enthusiasts and used to help boaters observe weather conditions.

Head of corporate affairs at the Port of Melbourne, Peter Harry, said the webcams would not resume service.

“The webcams were decommissioned about two months ago as the contract with our provider concluded,” he said.
