Offshore Drone Inspections in Felixstowe

Professional, sea-safe offshore drone inspections in Felixstowe supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

If your operation is based in Felixstowe, we can plan and fly offshore drone inspections around it. Briefs come from marine contractors, brokers, port operators and production companies. We can attend a pre-start or induction where the port or project requires one.

Every Felixstowe operation gets a site-specific risk assessment covering both air and sea risk. Aircraft are chosen for wind resistance and over-water redundancy rather than convenience. Where the site is a working terminal, we operate to the port's permit-to-work system.

Port security, harbour control and vessel operators in Felixstowe are briefed ahead of the flight. Crews are trained for water safety as well as licensed for commercial flight. We would rather lose the window and rebook than fly a marginal offshore sortie.

Edited video, stills, orthomosaics and inspection reports follow the flight within 48 hours. Contact the operations desk to check dates in Felixstowe and receive a written quote. Quotes are fixed, not estimates that drift once the vessel is booked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you film vessels under way near Felixstowe?

Yes. Vessel tracking is core to our marine work, from workboats and commercial shipping to yachts under sail. Dual-operator crews keep the pilot focused on proximity and drift while the camera holds the shot.

Do you require harbour authority clearance for offshore drone inspections in Felixstowe?

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

Do you coordinate with the vessel's skipper?

Yes. Given the skipper's contact we plan the passage and the shot list together, which is what makes the difference between a vessel that happens to be in frame and one that is positioned for the shot.
