Thames Towage Filming in Woolwich

Operations in Woolwich 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. If the shot is not achievable in the window you have, we will say so at the enquiry stage.

We identify launch and recovery points in Woolwich that work at the state of tide on the day. We carry redundant airframes so a marginal weather window is not a wasted mobilisation. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.

Notices to mariners are checked before any Woolwich flight, and radio watch is kept during it. Risk assessments for river work are site-specific and account for tide, traffic and public access. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the production schedule says.

If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. We can assess the Woolwich site before you book if the feasibility is not obvious. We can hold a provisional tide window while you confirm internally.
