UK Marine Drone Filming in Harwich

Professional, sea-safe UK marine drone filming in Harwich supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

Harwich sits within our East Coast Ports & Estuaries marine operating area for UK marine drone filming. Clients include shipping operators, port authorities, marine civil contractors and yacht owners. Where a brief covers several berths or structures, we plan them into a single mobilisation.

Flights in Harwich are planned around tide, sea state and commercial traffic movements. We can combine cinematic, inspection and mapping payloads into a single mobilisation. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.

We integrate Harwich drone operations into live port activity rather than interrupting it. 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.

Where a weather window is short, we plan the shot list so nothing needs a second mobilisation. Contact the operations desk to check dates in Harwich and receive a written quote. We can hold a provisional window while you confirm internally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you support offshore operations in the East Coast Ports & Estuaries 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.

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

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.

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.
