Coastal Drone Surveys in Forth & Clyde Canal
Professional, sea-safe coastal drone surveys in Forth & Clyde Canal supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.
Our marine aviation crews are certified for ship-to-shore flights in and around Forth & Clyde Canal. Briefs come from marine contractors, brokers, port operators and production companies. We quote per project, because vessel support and weather risk vary far more than the service itself.
Where the Forth & Clyde Canal target is offshore, we plan the vessel as carefully as the flight. Dual-operator crews let the pilot manage proximity and drift while the camera operator holds the frame. Where the subject is under way, the shot is planned around its passage, not ours.
Any flight inside Forth & Clyde Canal harbour limits is cleared with the authority before the crew arrives. Documentation is available before booking: permissions, insurance and the risk assessment. We hold the separation the regulations require from anyone not under our control.
Where a weather window is short, we plan the shot list so nothing needs a second mobilisation. We can assess feasibility for Forth & Clyde Canal before you commit to a date. We can point you at projects where we have done something similar at sea.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you insured for marine operations?
Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover marine and over-water flight, and can supply the certificate, our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.
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.
Can you support offshore operations in the Caledonian Canal & Scottish Waterways region?
Yes. We partner with Cinecraft for MCA-coded vessels that act as mobile launch and recovery platforms, which lets our pilots work several miles offshore tracking vessels or inspecting structures.
