Offshore Drone Inspections in Edinburgh
Professional, sea-safe offshore drone inspections in Edinburgh supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Edinburgh is part of our regular Firth of Forth coverage for marine drone work. Briefs come from marine contractors, brokers, port operators and production companies. Repeat work at Edinburgh keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.
Flights in Edinburgh are planned around tide, sea state and commercial traffic movements. Aircraft are chosen for wind resistance and over-water redundancy rather than convenience. Where the subject is under way, the shot is planned around its passage, not ours.
Where Edinburgh work touches secure port estate, we complete the operator's own permit process. We plan safety bubbles that account for both marine and recreational traffic nearby. Nothing launches until the paperwork, the passage plan and the brief agree with each other.
Rushes can go out the same evening where a deadline requires it. Talk to us early: the Firth of Forth weather window often decides the schedule, not the crew. There is no obligation attached to an enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work from shore rather than a vessel in Edinburgh?
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.
How long does a marine mobilisation to Edinburgh take?
Crew and kit can move quickly; the constraints are port clearance and the forecast. Once those are in hand we can usually be on site within a few days, and we will say up front if the timescale is unrealistic.
Who owns the material from the Edinburgh 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.
