Thames Towage Filming in Silvertown
Specialist over-water thames towage filming at Silvertown for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We run drone operations in Silvertown throughout the year, in all tide states. Clients here include TV productions, marine contractors, port operators and engineering teams. Stills and video come from the same tide window rather than two separate mobilisations.
Planning in Silvertown starts with the tide window, because it decides what is even possible. RTK platforms are available where the deliverable is a measurement rather than an image. Kit is checked ashore before anything is committed over water.
Our crews hold marine VHF and stay in contact with river traffic while the aircraft is airborne. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. We would rather lose a tide and rebook than fly a marginal over-water operation.
Turnaround is same-day for raw and 24 to 48 hours for finished output. Get in touch to discuss thames towage filming in Silvertown and we will quote without obligation. The quickest route is a short email with the location, the subject and the deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fly at night or in low light on the river?
Yes. Night and blue-hour work over the Thames is something we do regularly, with the lighting conditions and additional risk factored into the plan. Twilight often gives the strongest results on the tideway.
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.
Can you launch drones directly from boats in Silvertown?
Yes. Through our partnership with Cinecraft we have access to MCA-coded workboats and support vessels, and our pilots are experienced in launching and recovering from a moving deck.
