Marine Fleet Filming in Leith

Professional, sea-safe marine fleet filming in Leith supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

We fly marine fleet filming in the harbours, approaches and offshore waters around Leith. Both shore-based and vessel-launched operations are available depending on the target. Stills, video and survey data can come out of one mobilisation rather than three.

Planning for Leith starts with the weather window, because offshore work depends on it entirely. We can combine cinematic, inspection and mapping payloads into a single mobilisation. We bring spare airframes; offshore is the wrong place for a single point of failure.

Notifications to the coastguard are made where the Leith operation warrants it. Flight limits are geofenced so the aircraft cannot stray into active navigation channels. 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 Leith before you commit to a date. We can point you at projects where we have done something similar at sea.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you require harbour authority clearance for marine fleet 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.

Who owns the material from the Leith job?

Licensing is agreed before mobilisation and written into the quote. Tell us whether it is for marketing, an operational record, an insurance file or a technical submission and we scope the licence to match.

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.
