Marine Fleet Filming in Union Canal

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

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

We run marine fleet filming in Union Canal for commercial operators, yacht owners and engineering teams. Clients include shipping operators, port authorities, marine civil contractors and yacht owners. We quote per project, because vessel support and weather risk vary far more than the service itself.

Operations in Union Canal are timed to avoid conflict with commercial shipping movements. High-zoom payloads allow close inspection without flying close to the structure. Kit is checked and prepared before the vessel leaves the berth.

We liaise directly with terminal operators and pilots working Union Canal. Emergency ditch and recovery procedures are agreed with the vessel skipper before launch. Anything we cannot legally do offshore, we say before you book rather than after.

Raw capture is handed over on the day, with processed output inside 24 to 48 hours. Send the vessel or structure details and we will come back with options and a price. Most enquiries get a same-day response.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the weather closes the window in Union Canal?

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.

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 much notice do you need for work in Union Canal?

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.
