Marine Fleet Filming in Cardiff

Professional, sea-safe marine fleet filming in Cardiff supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.

UAS London provides marine fleet filming throughout the coastal waters and port facilities of Cardiff. Work here ranges from vessel photography to structural survey of harbour infrastructure. Marine work rewards crews who have actually operated at sea rather than only over it.

Planning for Cardiff starts with the weather window, because offshore work depends on it entirely. We fly offshore-rated platforms with the range and stability the conditions demand. Kit is checked and prepared before the vessel leaves the berth.

Clearances for Cardiff are arranged in advance, including any restricted-area permissions. Emergency ditch and recovery procedures are agreed with the vessel skipper before launch. Abort and ditch criteria are briefed to crew and skipper before launch.

Deliverables arrive in the format your engineering or editorial team already uses. Share the Cardiff timescale and we will confirm availability against the forecast. Happy to advise on feasibility even if you end up not booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you carry out structural inspections of port infrastructure?

Yes. We fly high-zoom and thermal payloads for close-range condition survey of quays, jetties, coastal defences and offshore structures, delivered as annotated reports or georeferenced imagery.

Can you work from shore rather than a vessel in Cardiff?

Where the subject stays in range and there is a safe launch point, yes, and it costs less. Anything further out needs a vessel, and we will tell you honestly which the job requires.

Who owns the material from the Cardiff 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.
