Port & Harbour Surveys in Inverness

Professional, sea-safe port & harbour surveys in Inverness supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.

UAS London provides port & harbour surveys throughout the coastal waters and port facilities of Inverness. Work here ranges from vessel photography to structural survey of harbour infrastructure. Tell us the deadline early, because the forecast, not the diary, sets the date.

We check tidal windows, vessel schedules and forecast sea state before fixing a date in Inverness. RTK-equipped platforms deliver centimetre-accurate mapping of quays, defences and foreshore. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.

Our crews maintain marine VHF watch throughout Inverness operations. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover marine and over-water operations. Nothing launches until the paperwork, the passage plan and the brief agree with each other.

Raw capture is handed over on the day, with processed output inside 24 to 48 hours. Talk to us early: the Caledonian Canal & Scottish Waterways weather window often decides the schedule, not the crew. Ask for examples of comparable marine work and we will send them over.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you require harbour authority clearance for port & harbour surveys in Inverness?

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

What happens if the weather closes the window in Inverness?

We monitor maritime forecasts in the days beforehand and will tell you early if it looks unworkable. If conditions make the operation unsafe we rebook the next viable window at no additional cost.

How do you ensure safety when flying over sea water?

We use redundant airframes with float kits where appropriate, and every flight plan sets geofenced return-to-home limits that account for wind drift, sea state and a moving launch point.
