Commercial Vessel Filming in Non-Tidal Thames

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

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

We cover Non-Tidal Thames and the surrounding EA River Navigations coast for commercial vessel filming. 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.

Operations in Non-Tidal Thames are timed to avoid conflict with commercial shipping movements. We fly offshore-rated platforms with the range and stability the conditions demand. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.

We liaise directly with terminal operators and pilots working Non-Tidal Thames. Every flight is logged, and the records remain available for your compliance file. Abort and ditch criteria are briefed to crew and skipper before launch.

Rushes can go out the same evening where a deadline requires it. Tell us the Non-Tidal Thames brief and we will confirm what the conditions realistically allow. We can hold a provisional window while you confirm internally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who owns the material from the Non-Tidal Thames 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.

Do you coordinate with the vessel's skipper?

Yes. Given the skipper's contact we plan the passage and the shot list together, which is what makes the difference between a vessel that happens to be in frame and one that is positioned for the shot.

What happens if the weather closes the window in Non-Tidal Thames?

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.
