Frequently Asked Questions
Can you film vessels under way near Manchester Ship Canal?
Yes. Vessel tracking is core to our marine work, from workboats and commercial shipping to yachts under sail. Dual-operator crews keep the pilot focused on proximity and drift while the camera holds the shot.
How long does a marine mobilisation to Manchester Ship Canal take?
Crew and kit can move quickly; the constraints are port clearance and the forecast. Once those are in hand we can usually be on site within a few days, and we will say up front if the timescale is unrealistic.
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.
