Going Green
How are we doing our bit to make a genuine difference to the environment?
CLIMATE CHANGE IS DESTROYING THE OCEAN
It's no secret that climate change is causing a huge effect on the planet and that the marine industry needs to adapt to ensure it doesn't destroy the resource it relies so heavily upon, the ocean.
SOLAR POWER
We are pleased to be able to charge our drone and camera kit batteries from 100% solar power at our office in Southampton. When offsite we use a selection of marina shore power (using our adapters) and power on boats, we never use generators dedicated to charging our batteries.
LOW EMISSIONS
When sourcing chase boats for filming at sea we always look for the most ideal solution. Where practical and possible, an electric boat or lower emissions diesel boat such as ones fitted with OXE or COX outboard will be favoured.
CARBON OFFSET
We are lucky enough to film in locations across the world although we know that this can bring a larger carbon footprint. That's why when the option is available we will always choose to offset our carbon or take a lower-emissions alternative.
PAPERLESS
Before every drone flight, we must do extensive preflight planning to ensure the safety of operations. Since 2019 all of our preflight planning has been done on Dronedesk and is completely paperless which reduces the amount of waste by 24 sheets of paper per flight.
