Thames Towage Filming in Chelsea
Specialist over-water thames towage filming at Chelsea for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Thames Towage Filming in Chelsea is routine work for our Thames crews. Projects run from a two-hour tide window to a scheduled programme across a construction phase. The river rewards crews who know it; a stranger to this water loses the shot to the tide.
We identify launch and recovery points in Chelsea that work at the state of tide on the day. We fly marine-configured aircraft rated for the wind speeds the river corridor regularly produces. Where the subject is a moving vessel, the shot is planned around its passage, not ours.
Any Chelsea operation is logged with the river authorities before the crew arrives. Crews are water-safety trained as well as CAA-licensed. Nothing goes up until the paperwork, the tide plan and the brief agree with each other.
Turnaround is same-day for raw and 24 to 48 hours for finished output. We are trusted on the river by operators including CPBS Marine Services, MMS Marine and the Dutch Master. If the tides do not work for your deadline, we will tell you rather than string it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns the footage from the Chelsea 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.
What deliverables can you provide from Chelsea?
Broadcast-ready video, high-resolution stills, georeferenced orthomosaics of the bank and foreshore, 3D models, or written inspection reports. Raw capture is handed over on the day and processed output follows within 24 to 48 hours.
Can you film moving vessels in Chelsea?
Yes. Vessel tracking is a large part of our river work, from towage and workboat operations to passenger craft. Dual-operator crews let the pilot manage proximity and line of sight while the camera operator holds the shot.
