Thames Towage Filming in Gravesend
Specialist over-water thames towage filming at Gravesend for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Thames Towage Filming in Gravesend is routine work for our Thames crews. Clients here include TV productions, marine contractors, port operators and engineering teams. We can attend a pre-start or toolbox meeting where the project requires one.
Every flight in Gravesend is planned around the tide table and the vessel schedule. Where the shot demands it, we launch and recover from an MCA-coded support vessel. Light on the water changes fast, so we will suggest the state of tide and time of day that suits the subject.
Where the Gravesend flight affects navigation, we coordinate directly with vessel operators. Ground safety on the bank, meaning cordons, pedestrian routes and marshals, is planned alongside the flight. Abort criteria are briefed to the crew and the skipper before the first launch.
Turnaround is same-day for raw and 24 to 48 hours for finished output. Talk to our skippers before you commit. They will tell you quickly whether the shot is achievable. We can hold a provisional tide window while you confirm internally.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tide affect a shoot in Gravesend?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Gravesend operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
How much notice do you need for river work in Gravesend?
More than for a land-based shoot, because PLA notification and the tide table both constrain the date. A week or two is comfortable; tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
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.
