Two regular commercial users, vessels up to 90 m long and a tidal window of under 4.9 m draught sum up the working reality of Rye Harbour, a small port on the River Rother in East Sussex. Ships reach Rye Wharf only on high tides, importing decorative aggregates and bulk stone for Long Rake Spar and Brett Aggregates and loading grain for export. The trade is genuine bulk and breakbulk, but there is no container handling or scheduled liner service here. Alongside the cargo wharf sits a coded RX fishing fleet, and the harbour itself is run by the Environment Agency. For boxed cargo, larger ships or routine customs clearance, Newhaven and Shoreham are the practical alternatives.
