Commercial Vessel Filming in Leith

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

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

We fly commercial vessel filming in the harbours, approaches and offshore waters around Leith. Clients include shipping operators, port authorities, marine civil contractors and yacht owners. Offshore work needs patience built into the schedule, and we plan for it.

We check tidal windows, vessel schedules and forecast sea state before fixing a date in Leith. Capture is RAW throughout so the material survives grading or photogrammetric processing. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.

Where Leith work touches secure port estate, we complete the operator's own permit process. 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. Through our partnership with Cinecraft we can supply MCA-coded vessels for at-sea launches in Leith. Ask for examples of comparable marine work and we will send them over.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

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 require harbour authority clearance for commercial vessel filming in Leith?

Any professional drone operation within port or harbour limits at Leith 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 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.
