Solent Skill Quest arranged for 45 teachers from the Southampton area to be welcomed to Associated British Ports to see the many different activities that take place there. The teachers were from many different subject areas, but all were eager to gain first-hand knowledge about this important local facility and explore ways of incorporating their knowledge into the school curriculum.
The teachers toured the port by boat to learn about the crucial role that it plays and the many employment opportunities it provides. They also explored the Vessel Traffic Services Harbour Control Room, from where all ship movements on the Solent are managed.
