Thames Towage Filming in Blackwall
Specialist over-water thames towage filming at Blackwall for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Operations in Blackwall draw on both our aviation and our marine experience. Our crews pair CAA-licensed drone pilots with working river skippers who read tide, traffic and weather off the water rather than off a map. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, ground units and marshals already on site.
We identify launch and recovery points in Blackwall that work at the state of tide on the day. Platforms are chosen for wind resilience and over-water redundancy rather than convenience. We keep the ground and deck footprint small so the operation stays clear of working crews.
Riparian landowners and pier operators in Blackwall are contacted ahead of the date. Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. Moorings, houseboats and riverside residents are given notice where the operation warrants it.
If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Contact our marine desk with the Blackwall brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. Happy to advise on feasibility even if you end up not booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns the footage from the Blackwall shoot?
Licensing is agreed before the flight and written into the quote. Tell us whether the material is for broadcast, marketing, an operational record or a planning submission and we scope the licence accordingly.
Are you insured for flying over water?
Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations, and can provide the certificate along with our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.
Do you work with the vessel operator directly?
Yes, and it makes a noticeable difference to the result. Given the skipper's contact we coordinate the passage and the shot list directly, so the vessel is where the camera needs it rather than the other way round.
