Rochford harbour is a small unloading dock that ultimately links to the North Sea. It is part of the Port of London Authority and is situated on the edge of Southend Airport. Southend Airport handles mainly scheduled passenger flights but also does some cargo flights. The airport is owned by the Stobart Group who also operate the airport. The Stobart group are investing in the airport to capitalise on demand for regional airport capacity, especially in the South East.
