Port & Harbour Surveys in Brighton

Professional, sea-safe port & harbour surveys in Brighton supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.

Port & Harbour Surveys in Brighton draws on the same crews that work the tidal Thames daily. Clients include shipping operators, port authorities, marine civil contractors and yacht owners. We can attend a pre-start or induction where the port or project requires one.

We plan Brighton flights against live port traffic rather than a static harbour chart. Dual-operator crews let the pilot manage proximity and drift while the camera operator holds the frame. Where quay access is controlled, we clear the approach before crew and kit arrive.

We liaise directly with terminal operators and pilots working Brighton. Flight limits are geofenced so the aircraft cannot stray into active navigation channels. Our marine risk assessments are written to be read, not to satisfy a filing requirement.

If sea state or wind closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Contact the operations desk to check dates in Brighton and receive a written quote. We are straightforward about what the conditions will and will not allow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you require harbour authority clearance for port & harbour surveys in Brighton?

Any professional drone operation within port or harbour limits at Brighton needs clearance from the harbour master and port authority. UAS London arranges those approvals and keeps the coordination logs as part of the service.

Can you deliver survey-grade data as well as imagery?

Yes. RTK-equipped platforms produce georeferenced orthomosaics and 3D models of quays, defences and structures to centimetre accuracy, delivered in the formats your engineering team already uses.

Who owns the material from the Brighton job?

Licensing is agreed before mobilisation and written into the quote. Tell us whether it is for marketing, an operational record, an insurance file or a technical submission and we scope the licence to match.
