Commercial Vessel Filming in Ely

Professional, sea-safe commercial vessel filming in Ely supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.

UAS London provides commercial vessel filming throughout the coastal waters and port facilities of Ely. Coverage extends from inside the harbour limits out to offshore structures. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, port staff and contractors already on site.

We check tidal windows, vessel schedules and forecast sea state before fixing a date in Ely. Payloads run from 6K RAW cinema cameras to RTK mapping systems and thermal inspection sensors. Where quay access is controlled, we clear the approach before crew and kit arrive.

Coordination with the harbour master and port authority is standard practice in Ely. Every flight is logged, and the records remain available for your compliance file. Adjacent berths and vessel operators are notified where the operation warrants it.

Deliverables arrive in the format your engineering or editorial team already uses. Contact the operations desk to check dates in Ely and receive a written quote. We can point you at projects where we have done something similar at sea.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much notice do you need for work in Ely?

Port clearances and the weather window both drive the lead time, so a week or two is comfortable. Offshore work depends heavily on the forecast, so tell us the deadline and we will be straight with you about the odds.

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.

How long does a marine mobilisation to Ely 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.
