Emergency teams have taken part in a major incident exercise at one of Europe's busiest ports.
Seven sectors came together at Harwich International Port yesterday to deal with the aftermath of a mocked-up collision involving several boats.
The role-play exercise was designed to give young people an insight into the business. More than 90 students aged 14 and 15 from six Tendring schools were invited to take part in the two-day Exercise Haven Seaports - with each assigned an important role in an imaginary scenario.
