Offshore Drone Inspections in Leith

Professional, sea-safe offshore drone inspections in Leith supporting shipping, yachts, and coastal structures.

We fly offshore drone inspections in the harbours, approaches and offshore waters around Leith. Briefs come from marine contractors, brokers, port operators and production companies. Offshore work needs patience built into the schedule, and we plan for it.

Where the Leith target is offshore, we plan the vessel as carefully as the flight. RTK-equipped platforms deliver centimetre-accurate mapping of quays, defences and foreshore. We can work outside normal hours where tide, traffic or light demands it.

We liaise directly with terminal operators and pilots working Leith. Method statements can be supplied for the principal contractor's file where required. 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. Contact the operations desk to check dates in Leith and receive a written quote. Most enquiries get a same-day response.

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.

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.

How much notice do you need for work in Leith?

Port clearances and the weather window both drive the lead time, so a week or two is comfortable. Offshore work depends heavily on the forecast, so tell us the deadline and we will be straight with you about the odds.
